Coral Dunes is beautiful. So close to the beach! And they have thought of everything down to the last detail — comfortable beds, blackout shades in all the rooms, and everything we needed in the way of amenities!
For those with young children: this property was perfect for our two families. We had two young toddlers and we loved the screened in porch — we were able to open up the wall to enjoy the ocean breeze without worrying about their safety.
This is by far the nicest, cleanest place I’ve stayed in the Gulf Shores/ Fort Morgan area. The short, flat walk to the water was great, especially for my dad who has hip/back problems. The sliding doors that open up to the screened in porch was my favorite. Being able to open them all up and listen to the ocean waves was just so relaxing. The house had so many beach toys and games for the kids to play with. The beach cart was especially helpful to pull our load of things to the beach with. Just all in all a fantastic place to stay.
We consistently use VRBO and this was one of the nicest houses we have stayed in. It was too hot to fully open the sliding wall of windows but the view was awesome. The layout of the home is beautiful. We drank our coffee every morning in the screeded in porch, walked across the street to our private beach every afternoon. The house was clean and had all of the amenities you could want on vacation, along with handwritten notes to help. Checking in was easy with keys in the lockbox. The house is every bit as good as it looks and sounds online
We absolutely love this house for our family vacation! This was our 4th year staying here & will be booking it again! It’s in a perfect location right on the beach pretty much & away from the busyness of the town yet a short drive to everything & everywhere you need.
We really enjoyed our stay Coral Dunes! The location was perfect. We loved being so close to the beach. The house was very clean. The openness of the kitchen and living room made it a perfect place to hang out.
Beautiful, well maintained home with an amazing views and great location. We enjoyed our stay. Kathy the owner was so attentive and responded quick to any of our questions. We will definitely be back.
The beach house was great. The house has a very good layout with the large central living space and the bedrooms were awesome. Distance to the beach was fantastic. Easy to run back to house for more items or a quick meal. Highly recommend and will be staying here again.
We had the best vacation!! Kathy, the owner is amazing. We had an ac issue and she had someone there immediately to get it taken care of. The house is in a great location and so close to the beach. We will definitely rent this house again!!! Thank you for a wonderful week and sharing your home.
This property is PERFECT!!! The house is beautiful and clean with a well laid out floor plan for families or groups! The views from the deck are gorgeous! The beaches are perfect and the neighborhood is very nice!
It is quite and uncrowded, but a short drive to all the business! The property manager is very easy to work with and kind! This was our 2nd stay here and we will definatley be back!
House was bigger and even nicer than depicted in photos and sparkling clean! Lots of small touches made it wondeful. For a non-beach front property it could not be any closer to the beach, and the owner was so nice to work with. Do not hesitate, book now!
Wonderful house. It was everything we had hoped for and more. The view was great. We will be going back when Fort Morgan is our destination again. The only draw back was one bath towel per guest so we had to do laundry everyday.

Great family vacation
Our family had a great time at Fort Morgan and the Coral Dunes beach house worked out great for us. It’s a great location with just a short walk to the beach. The layout of the house was nice with the open floor plan and the ‘barn doors’ to close off the bedrooms. It was nice having the pack-n-play and high chair so that we didn’t have to bring them for our grandkids. The owners were helpful with our planning also. We can’t wait to return.
This is our second time to stay at Coral Dunes. Our only complaint was the bathrooms weren't clean. But in all fairness I think it wasn't used the week before we rented it and wasn't checked on before we got there. We cleaned them up and all was well.
It is a great place for a family gathering.
We loved our stay at Coral Dunes! The house was immaculate and Kathy was immediately available for any questions we had when preparing for the trip and while we were there. The location is wonderful as it's just off the beach -- it was so nice being able to just walk across the road and go back and forth. And it was so convenient having some beach chairs and toys for the kids at the house! The layout was ideal with two bedrooms and a bathroom on each side. We felt like the kids had a wing and we were able to have some space. We highly recommend this house!
This location is perfect if wanting to be on the beach without "beachfront" prices. Plenty of space with a split floorplan, great kitchen, ample parking, beach supplies, and, best yet, about a 30-second walk to the beach. The owner is very responsive and kind. The location is on a private beach as well. Rent a tent from BeachBum, and you will have a nice spot between houses on the beach. Two things I would improve upon would be privacy curtains for the living room area and a bigger/better washing machine. We are excited to return soon!
The house was beautiful and just a short walk to the beach across a small subdivision road. The kitchen was well appointed. The gathering space was large and we loved the screened-in porch.
We had an issue when one toilet handle and chain broke. The repairman was very prompt and courteous. One bathroom had a slow tub drain but it was livable so we did not report it until we left. The owner reported she would take care of it.
This is a personal preference and for information only. All beds were very soft and problematic for some members of my family with back and neck issues.
Beautifully decorated open floor plan and screen porch and decks! Location was amazing! Walk right out to beach and private beach, what more could you ask for
This property was a splurge for our family, as far as budget, but it was amazing. The house was so clean and beautiful, and the location was perfect. I’d definitely save up to stay there again. I’d recommend this property to anyone.
We loved the split floor plan and 3 porches. Everyone had their own space. The kitchen and living spaces had nice amenities and plenty of furniture. The view was spectacular and we could hear the surf at all times. The walk to the beach was an easy walk. Loved it!
