Dolphy Dunes East

"Great, but short trip (5 days) with grandchildren! Big plus - "home allowed dogs" - who are also our "pet-children." Home was nice, clean & right next door to home owners' shared pool (pool okay, not great). Was a short walk to beach & the offered "optional/additional cost" beach rental 'tent & 4 chairs' set-up was great & eliminated lugging items back & forth to beach. Only downside or rental (which we were well aware of when we rented) was the distance down Fort Morgan Road (almost to where ended at the Fort & ferry launch), & driving time to restaurants, shopping, Gulf Shores, etc. We will definitely consider renting the home again because of reasonable cost & since it is 1 of few places where you can bring pets & they are allowed on the beach, but grandchildren will probably want something closer to activities. "

"Glynda, thank you so much for staying with us and leaving us a review! Dolphy Dunes East is a great place for families and fur babies. It is a little bit of a drive from Gulf Shores, but that is what makes this location great, the seclusion and the uncrowded beaches. I hope lots of great memories were made with the grandchildren and we look forward to hosting your next vacation!"

"Love this area...the beach house was in a great neighborhood...palm trees in front of the houses and a beach view! Also right next to the pool and very short walk to the beach...definitely will stay there again! "

"Thank you so much for the great review! As always, it was great getting to visit with y'all! We love having you and your little fur baby stay with us each year and look forward to seeing you again next year! "

"Everything was fabulous!! it's our home away from home!! Looking forward to our next visit!"

"Yay! Thank you, Charles, for the five star review! We appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your stay! Thank you for being a loyal guest and we look forward to seeing you again! "

"Had a great time. Just wish the pool was ready during our stay"

"Alicia, we appreciate the review! I'm sorry about the pool, but at least you had access to The Dunes pool during your stay. Hopefully, on your next visit, the pool will be open for use. "

"We enjoyed our stay. Loved the close beach access. The rental was just right for our family. The host was so very helpful and responsive even with things out of their control. Would definitely recommend and hoping to go back again. "

"Yipee! We love the five star review! Isn't Dolphy Dunes East such a cozy home? I'm glad you were happy with the customer service! We strive to be the best! We are just a phone call away, so let's get your next trip planned! "

"The house was overall a good value for the price. For the most part everything was as expected. The ease of arriving and leaving was seamless through the app. All the appliances and furniture were fine and in good shape. The only issue we had was with the pool next door to our house. The pool was closed the entire time we were there and did not get any maintenance until the day we were leaving. Disappointing for the kids as they were expecting to use it in the late afternoon. With the rental description listed as “Next to pool”, that’s a bit of a letdown. I reported the pool the first day we were there but nothing was done to it for 5 days and it still was not operating when we left. Other than that, everything was great."

"Jeremy, thank you for submitting a review of your stay at Dolphy Dunes East. I apologize about the pool closure. We actually do not manage the pool, so we have no control over the operation of the pool. Unfortunately, the pool has a leak in it and the health department will not allow it to open until all repairs are made. We did let our guests know that they could use the pool at the Dunes condos. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Dolphy Dunes and we look forward to having you back!"

"Loved that the beach was not too crowded for spring break. The seclusion of this area is great, yet convenient if you need to go into town for something. "

"Thanks for the review! We hope to see you again! "

"Enjoyed my stay here! I will definitely rent this place again! "

"Thank you for the five stars!! We would love to have you back! Call us soon! "

"Loved the area and beach, very quiet and relaxing. The home was spacious, clean, bright and comfortable. Very short, easy walk to the beach. Master bedroom bed was excellent! Loved Sassy Bass restaurant just down the road. Suggest new cookware (we had to go buy a couple pieces) and living room furniture (dingy and stained). Would also be nice to have a patio table and chairs on one of the decks. Overall, we would stay in this home again."

"Woo hoo! Thank you, Kelli, for taking the time to review your stay at Dolphy Dunes East! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay in this cozy home! We will pass along your suggestions to the owner. Come back and stay again! "

"This rental was everything is claims to be. Very happy with this rental! "

"Yay!! Emily, thank you for this review. I am so happy you enjoyed it, let us know when you want to come back!"

"We were extremely happy to see that our house was exactly as we left it last year. It was like returning home. We love Dophly Dunes B. The light blues and cream color scheme is so peaceful. Beening next door to the pool is a great location. "

"We love our repeat guests, especially when they return to the same property! Have you received your discount yet on our loyalty program? If not, make sure to ask about it with your next reservation! You receive $100 off your third stay and $200 off your sixth stay! Just our way of saying thank you for staying with us!"

"This was our third year at Dolphy Dunes East. Another calm quiet snow free winter. We are grateful we have found a place that accepts our Boxer, Beans. Most places restrict by size and he is a big boy that loves being allowed on the beach. We are careful to clean up his business and also clean up after people that seem to think it isn't that important. I fear if enough people fail to clean up we will all lose the privilege of it being a dog friendly place. Being on a leash is also important and 95% of the people adhere to this rule. Again a few special people can ruin this for the rest of us.
Dolphy Dunes East is a wonderful place to spend 31⁄2 months. Spacious living quarters with 3 bedrooms, two full baths and a well equipped kitchen along with a washer and dryer. I love the tile floors as carpeting would be difficult with the sand that comes in. If you are older with bad knees I would recommend bringing furniture risers to put under a chair to facilitate getting vertical as both couches and the chair are comfy but low. This place has great beds that never failed to give me a good nights sleep. The owner upgrades it every year to keep it a joy to stay in, and we appreciate that. The only shortcoming would be not being able to open some of the windows and i expect the owner will be looking at that next. A breeze coming in is cheaper than running the air conditioning.
We hope to stay healthy enough to continue coming down for at least the next five years. There is so much to see and do in the area and the locals are so very welcoming. Becky, Karen, Jennifer and the others at Sunset Properties make sure we have a great winter and for any maintenance issues Mark and Jim are quick to respond. 5 stars all the way around and we thank you!"

"Woo Hoo!! Thank you, Ray! It is always a pleasure to see y'all and chat with you! And, of course, give Beans those scritches he loves so much! We love having y'all as our repeat guests and I sincerely hope your summer is as awesome as your winter was!! We look forward to seeing you again in the near future and will be anxious to hear about Bean's summer adventures! Y'all take care and stay safe!"

"This is the second time we have rented this particular beach house from Sunset Properties, and have yet to be disappointed! The home is clean and has what you need for a vacation home. This time we rented both Dolphy Dunes East and West, we like them both! When their has been an issue Sunset Properties has been quick to send someone out to fix it. I like that you can text them for assistance. We like the location of Dolphy Dunes right next to the pool and a short walk to the beach. We will be back! "

"Woo hoo! That is the kind of review we love to hear from our guests! I am so glad you were pleased with the Dolphy Dunes! It is in the perfect location for the pool and the beach! Give us a call when you are ready to come back!"

"Our house was fantastic. Clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. It's location to the pools and beach could not have been better, both were in easy walking distance. The Dunes is so family oriented. Everyone there seem to have children and they all seemed to be having a good time. Being a pet friendly environment was a good thing because many people had their dogs. It really was fantastic, we are going back next year."

"Yay! We are so glad you enjoyed your time at Dolphy Dunes East! This home is in a very convenient location. And, yes, the Fort Morgan area does attract more families due to the fact that it is outside the entertainment district. It is the place to be if you just want to relax and get in some beach time. So glad you will be coming back next year!"

"Loved the house and beach area parking was to tight"

"Thank you, Troy, for taking the time to leave a review of your stay in Dolphy Dunes East! Hope to see you again soon!"

"An escape from winter in a great place. I foresee several more years of wintering in Fort Morgan. No disappointments, just delights!Thank you, Sunset Properties."

"Awesome!! Thank you, Ray, for the wonderful review of your stay in Dolphy Dunes East! We always look forward to having you and your wife as our guests! I hope your summer is terrific, and we look forward to seeing you next winter!"

"The only issue that we experienced was the plug ins didn’t work in either bathroom."

"Thank you for staying with us at Dolphy Dunes East! Sorry about the bathroom plugs. We would have sent maintenance to take care of that if we had known. Give us a call and let us book your next trip!"

"We loved our stay at Dolphy Dunes East! The house felt like home within the first day. It was clean and nicely decorated. We were there a week and decided to reserve it for next winter. The beach was awesome and our Boxer, Beans couldn't get enough of it. My sincere thanks to Becky, Jennifer, Mark and Jim for their quick response to the very few issues that arose. If I had my druthers the master bed would have a firmer mattress and a couple of the windows were sticky, but all in all we fell in love with the place and the people. Once again, thank you,Becky, Jennifer, Mark and Jim forgiving us the best winter of our lives! We will see you in December!!!
"

"Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Dolphy Dunes East! It is a beautiful home and in a quiet , peaceful location. And we are glad Beans enjoyed it! He is a beautiful fellow! We look forward to seeing all of you in December at your "Home away from Home"!"

"It was a perfect low key place for our family. We have four little kids and having the pool next to us was perfect. The beach was a short walk too which made it easy to come back for nap time or lunch. The house was clean and there were some problems with the air conditioning, we called and maintenance was there in like 5 minutes. Great place!"

"Karen, I agree, great place to be with your family, appreciate you taking time to write a review! Hope to have you down again soon!"

"Pro's- The pool is located beside this home which was wonderful and the ocean is a very short walk. Also they had parking by the boardwalk so you can load and drive your stuff down. Nice because of cooler, chairs and so on... It was a nice quiet gated community. House was very nice.

Con's- Distance to gulf shores, front porch not being covered to escape the rain and hot sun. The toilet in the master needs to be worked on, also the toaster needs replaced. "

"Thanks for the review. Next time you are with us, please call immediately if you find something that needs to be fixed or replaced, and we can be there in a jiffy! We hope to see you again! "

"We had a great time, loved the house, pools and beach. The house is fully equipped and very nicely furnished. Very relaxing."

"Yay!! So glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thanks so much for taking time to write a review for us1"

"We had an awesome stay!!
"

"Yay!! Please come see us again!"

"It was a great stay and look forward to trying to stay in the same location again next year"

"Whoop! Whoop!"

"Fort Morgan is a beautiful remote area and exactly what we were looking for. It is 18 miles from the many restaurants in Gulf Shores although there are a couple restaurants nearby. This property had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and loved that it was right next to a pool and it was an easy walk to the beach. Weather at the end of April was gorgeous. We are fairly easy to please but did feel like the property was not cleaned thoroughly before our stay. The tile floor was sandy, the stove top had cooking splatters and the toilets could have been cleaned better. It also would have been nice to have a few hangars in the closets.



"

"I am glad you enjoyed the area, and that the weather was good for your stay. Unfortunately, it was the owners who were there before you, and they insisted on cleaning it themselves. So, our housekeeping staff was unable review the clean. We are terribly sorry that it was not cleaned to your liking, and we assure that if you decide to stay with us again that will not happen! "

"Had a great time in this lovely house. It was the perfect amount of space for our group of 5."
