Welcome to Our Derby Dunes, a beautifully renovated Gulf-front vacation home in Gulf Shores, Alabama's peaceful Fort Morgan area. This spacious coastal retreat was designed with large families and groups in mind, offering the perfect combination of modern convenience, thoughtful design, and relaxed beachfront living, steps from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf.

Freshly updated from top to bottom, Our Derby Dunes comfortably accommodates up to 18 guests. The sleeping arrangements include five luxurious king beds for restful privacy, one full bed, and six twin bunk beds divided between two fun, beach-themed bunk rooms—one for girls and one for boys. Whether gathering multiple generations of family or sharing the space with friends, there’s plenty of room to sleep, unwind, and recharge.

At the heart of the home is a spacious, open-concept living area that flows into a fully equipped chef’s kitchen. Preparing meals for your group is a breeze with double refrigerators, double ovens, and double dishwashers—a rare find that makes entertaining large groups easy and efficient. The large dining area and adjacent living room offer ample seating, perfect for sharing meals, playing games, or watching movies after a day in the sun.

Outdoor living is just as inviting. Sip your morning coffee or enjoy a sunset cocktail from one of the two large, covered porches, or head up to the rooftop observation deck to take sweeping views of the Gulf and sky. After a beach day, rinse off in the outdoor shower and fire up the grill for a seaside dinner. An exterior elevator lift ensures easy access to all levels of the home, making it convenient for guests of all ages and mobility levels.

With the beach just outside your back door, your days can be filled with swimming, shell hunting, or simply soaking up the sun and salty breeze. The home’s quiet Fort Morgan location offers the best of both worlds—peaceful and secluded, yet still within easy reach of the dining, shopping, and family attractions of Gulf Shores.

Whether planning a family reunion, a multi-family vacation, or a friends’ getaway, Our Derby Dunes is where memories are made and traditions are born. Stay a while, and make the beach your backyard.

The stay was very good. The only suggestion would be to add more outdoor seating especially on the top deck. We also had issues with the air but they had someone there to service it in less than 24 hours.
