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.

Great house for a large group!

I took my daughters and friends to the beach for the weekend. The house was perfect for us. Everyone had their own bed. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!

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!

Best Family Vaca Spot!

This house was perfect for our week at the beach! There were 11 of us, and there was plenty of space for all. The kitchen was truly fully stocked - we had everything we needed! Everything was clean and we were very comfortable. I highly recommend booking this home for your family getaway!

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!

Annual gymnastics meet weekend

The property was as described. Lots of room. Being near the beach makes it hard to get all the sand off the floors but otherwise clean. The stairs need a good cleaning. Really enjoyed the indoor pool at the condo complex because of the rain. The beach is a little walk but nice. Kitchen was well equipped and refrigerator was cold and great size. Kitchen table and chairs were great size for our family card games as well as dining. Really enjoyed our stay!

Our family had a great time! One day while spending time on the beach one of our daughters asked if we were going to book our next family vacation at the same place! It was definitely a hit with everyone! The granddaughters had a great time too! The house was spacious and clean, there were even baby gates for the stairs! Thank you!

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.

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.

Family Girls Trip

It was such a cute beach house. The neighborhood was absolutely adorable. The house was perfect for 6 women to enjoy everyone’s company but still have the space to relax. It was a smidge away from the city area but the drive was so pretty we didn’t mind. And the balconies. Oh my! We just loved sitting out to see the water and soak up the sun. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions/concerns. Much appreciated.

Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at Fort Morgan. The house offered enough room for our party of 14. The beach closet was filled with lots of toys for the kids, chairs for the beach, and some umbrellas too. The couple of questions we had were promptly answered by the owners. We would recommend this home to family and friends.

Family Vacay in Fort Morgan

We truly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and really well equipped in the kitchen and beach items we could use. We took our adult kids and grandkid to the local attractions and restaurants and cooked several meals at the property. Great location, very quiet and private. Close to Fort Morgan and the Ferry. I could go on and on. Of course, having our family together all in one place to experience it was the best part for me. A great time all in all!

Making memories part two

Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful beach house! It was exactly as explained. Host answered questions quickly. Our family of 12 had an amazing vacation! All the little things like games, beach toys, beach chairs and wagon were an added plus. Definitely enough room inside and out for the whole family. Grills made it nice for outside dinners, plus a fully stocked kitchen. Neighborhood was beautiful, pool and beach was close. Upstairs was perfect for the 5 kids, it was like a slumber party every night… Can’t wait for our next Gulf Shores adventure!!!!

Lovely

My cousins and I rented this home for our 1st cousins get away and cant wait till next year with the hopes of renting it again. We really enjoyed being able to use the bikes and other beach items that we had access to. The neighbors are very nice and welcoming. Be sure to get all of your supplies before you get settled for the night, there is about a 20 minute drive back to town. Overall.. we really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Avery

Host profile image
As a young family without a lot of money, our parents made a point to take us on vacations and build lasting memories. Our first beach house we rented was a tiny 1 bedroom home that we fit 3 families into, some of us sleeping in the van in the driveway. Every year, we have continued to rent beach homes, and as our family grows, these memories we are making are priceless. Recently, we decided to make a dream of ours come true and purchase our own beach home! We are a mother and her 2 daughters living out our dream. We are all married and we have 7 young children who will now have the opportunity to make memories at our new home. We are so excited to share this home with others so they can begin to build their own memories that will last a lifetime!

Why they chose this property

The minute we walked into this duplex, we knew immediately this was our home. There was something about the way the house made us feel and it just got better when we realized the views from the balconies. The neighborhood is quiet with a gorgeous pool close by and a beautiful boardwalk entry to the beach.

What makes this property unique

Not only did we fall in love with the home, we fell in love with the location. Walking out onto one of the 3 balconies you overlook protected wildlife habitat, along with the beautiful beaches of Gulf Shores. We love the local Tacky Jack's across the street from the neighborhood where you can get coffee and breakfast or go in the evening for cocktails. Our home is almost to the end of the peninsula....it is surrounded by water....it is a little piece of paradise.
