8 Reviews of Property 115234 in Fort Morgan, Alabama

This was the perfect vacation home for our family. We have had a busy year and our oldest daughter just graduated from high school. We needed a place to slow down and enjoy being a family.....this was the spot. I was nervous renting from the internet and when I walked in, it looked exactly like the pictures. The house was incredible. The decor was adorable. We found absolutely everything we needed. There were so many things that we loved!! Another favorite thing is that it is an extremely short walk to the beach. Also, we discovered that most people left their beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach and no one bothered them. This helped because you didn't have to bring the items back and fort. We found that we didn't want to leave too often.

We did visit a few attractions. We recommend the drive to Pensecola to visit the Naval Museum. It's a nice drive along the coast. We did lots of shopping in the souvenier shops and we visited the Gulf State Park Pier. We enjoyed watching the fishermen catch large fish. We found, though, that all we really wanted to do was go back to the house and enjoy the view. I loved eating breakfast on the front deck and watching and listening to the waves.

We did most of our cooking at the house and we were able to find everything we needed to cook. I do recommend that you are prepared with food. It is about 20 miles to the grocery store so you can't just run up the road for a forgotten item. We made sure we had lists and knew exactly what we needed.

I highly recommend this home. We really needed to reconnect as a family and we were able to do it. Our 3 teenage children loved it and already want me to book for next year. Booking was easy and Sue was always available to answer any questions that we had. It was a worry free vacation!!

We stayed for two weeks in July 2011 and had the best time. The house is a great location on a quiet beach. The house has everything you need and a super well stocked kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

On Dune Pond was perfect for our family of five, plenty of space to spread out with a short walk to the beach in a quiet, restful area. This house had everything we could want or need (including WiFi), it was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could want to cook with, the only thing I couldn't find that would have made it "home for me" was an apple slicer, but hey - the knives were sharp and worked great! We went in to Gulf Shores (about 20 miles) stocked up on breakfast, lunch and dinner and spend the majority of our week at the beach or the house. Late evening walks looking for crabs was so much fun, some nights we found lots other nights we rarely saw them. It was so relaxing and nice not to be in the midst of a crowd of people. We did venture in for a meal at Lambert's Cafe, which is a must if you love family style home cooked food, but be prepared for a wait, ours was only about 30 minutes around 2 pm. We took the Ferry on the way over and we were stirred away by some locals from LuLu's because they said, "long waits, lots of people, commercialized and average food" not our thing. They did recommend a place called Bahama Bob's, but we didn't make it there, but they raved about the food, but warned us that the seating is "cozy". We also visited the USS Alabama, which was super interesting, but very hot the day we went. We also visited Fort Morgan which is a great place to take pictures with some very vintage backgrounds with different stones and bricks and excellent lighting! Soul Surfer came out on DVD while we were there, so we watched it and it was a great beach movie, we highly recommend it! Because On Dune Pond is a" little isolated" it really fostered family time for us, which we needed coming from a very busy, urban lifestyle. Finally, the decor and details in the house are all beach themed, super-duper cute! Sue (owner) was very helpful and easy to work with and described the property and location perfectly. We would certainly recommend this property to our friends and relatives and hope one day we can come back! We stayed at Destin a couple of years ago and it was too commercialized and crowded; for our family Fort Morgan was a "shore thing"! Thanks for a perfect time away!

Our families first visit to Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores area could not have been better. "One Dune Pond" was exactly what I would want if I owned a beach house! Plenty of space and three very comfy bedrooms. Sue thought of everything-- and things you never knew you needed :) The house was immaculate when we arrived and was well maintained. A very quiet area and perfect if you need some down time! The white beaches were gorgeous! I would highly recommend this property. I hope that my family and I will be able to return again soon. We spent a lot of time on the beach, just steps away. Dauphin Island is a fun day trip. Kids loved the ferry .Shopping is just a few minutes away in Gulf Shores. If you like seafood-we really enjoyed the casual--Shrimp Shack. Thanks Sue for a wonderful, memorable vacation. No signs of the oil spill during our visit. We will pray that will remain the case.

We had a wonderful vacation last summer when we stayed at On Dune Pond. Our entire family fit in the home comfortably. It had a well stocked kitchen, and even had games & outdoor toys for the kids to play with. The balcony was delightful with breezes and a view of the Gulf with dolphins leaping in the waves. It was so relaxing, it felt like home.

We had a wonderful week in this charming home. Our vacation was effortless because of all the features this house offered. We searched many sites and found this to be the best price, extremely clean, beautiful furnishings, and comfortable. We just booked our second year at this home and know we will keep coming back!
