About this property

Breathtaking Gulf Views from 3 Levels of Balconies As Seen On HGTV

“Memories in the Making” is a beautiful 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath duplex home located in the Dunes community of the Fort Morgan area in Gulf Shores, AL. Our home is a second tier beach home with 3 levels of balconies all with beautiful Gulf views as seen on HGTV's Beachfront Bargainhunt Season 12, Episode 11 (http://watch.hgtv.com/player.HBFBH.html#0250708).
If a quieter, family environment is what you are looking for, this area is for you. It’s a short drive out Fort Morgan Road. When you walk into the front door of our vacation home we want you to feel right at home. The living room has large TV, comfortable new couches, and overlooks the Gulf. There’s a fully equipped kitchen with everything you will need for those meals you might want to prepare if you decide to stay in. This level has the master bedroom with a king bed, TV, and large private bath. You’ll also find the half bath and laundry room on this level. The main level deck is just out the back door, complete with plenty of seating and table. Here you’ll find a gorgeous view of the Gulf of Mexico and the protected community wildlife habitat.

Take the staircase up to the second level where you’ll find another three bedrooms with queen beds (one also has a single bed) and TVs. The second floor has two full baths, with a second balcony at this level. Take another staircase up to the third level where you will find the fifth bedroom, complete with four twin beds, one with a trundle underneath, TV and DVD player. There’s also a balcony on this level.

Outside, there’s parking for up to five small vehicles or four large ones. There’s a charcoal and gas grill, picnic table, and a hose for washing off sand in this area. The community pool is just two houses away from the front of our house. The beautiful Fort Morgan beach is a very short walk away, down the pavement and to the boardwalk.

This area is a quaint, family oriented community, perfect for a quiet family get-away to the beach. Across the street from The Dunes neighborhood is Tacky Jack’s, a great place for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just a drink overlooking the bay.

Perfect location- about a 2 min easy walk to the beach. Beautiful views. The beach itself is clean and not crowded. Community pool and hot tub nice too. Lots of kitchen supplies and love that there were 4 bathrooms.

Everything was wonderful. Perfect location for a get away that gives you access to the tourist side of the beach while also being just far enough away to feel relaxed and peaceful. Home is very spacious. Pictures do not show true size of main level. Living and dining area is very large. Our group of 12 had more than enough space to spread out. The 3 balconies were amazing with a great view of the ocean. Home stocked with everything you need. Highly recommend.

This house was the perfect size for our group. We loved the huge livingroom and kitchen. The back decks were awesome to hang out on in the evenings. The covered parking was a plus. Plus Tacky Jacks is super close.

Very spacious and comfortable! There are a few items worth mentioning: despite blinds and drapes, the bedrooms facing the front did not sufficiently block out the street lights at night for our preference; there was noticeable dust on lamps and curtain finales; and there was poorly done ceiling drywall finishing. We had to purchase our own trash bags, toilet paper, and other household items (of which I was not aware of until we arrived or I would have brought certain things with me). During the time we were there it was quiet, which was nice. We also enjoyed the deck space and ocean view.

We had a great stay! Note to future renters, the beach wagon hasn't been treated very nicely by past guests so you might want to bring your own. House was great and we had a great time!

Fantastic beach house. Extremely well equipped. Beautiful views and great location.

We enjoyed everything about the home and location. We vacation frequently and this tops our list of places we have been. You could not ask for more in terms of the beach house itself and the beach it sits on. Great pools as well. We would love to come back. The owners were very welcoming and helpful as well. We absolutely recommend this place to all.

Great House

The house is beautiful and exactly as described. It was clean and worked out great for us. Property manager was responsive. Only downside for us was that it was a long way away from the city, but it is great for those looking for a quiet getaway.

This home was perfect for the 5 adults and six children staying here. There was plenty of room and we never felt crowded. The short walk to the beach without busy streets was a bonus. The pictures just don't do it justice! We would definitely come back!

Great Family Time

We enjoyed our time. It’s was a peaceful neighborhood taking only steps to get to the beach. The house was nice however the cleanliness was a bit lacking. I swept the house upon arrival and found nail clippings in the living room. The coffee pot also had old coffee grounds left from the previous occupants. The hosts were great if I had to reach out and responded quickly. Overall it was a great trip!
