About this house rental
“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.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
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.

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.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
Pros:The space is great with plenty of room to accommodate guests. Close to the beach - about a Walmart parking lot away.The outdoor pool is also only a few steps away. We didn't use the indoor pool but it was within walking distance. The water pressure was awesome! The host was very polite and responsive.
Neutral: A lot of the beach supplies are broken so don't count on using those. Example:the wagon handle was broken and zip tied on. The zip tie was stripped so pulling it was a nightmare.We tried it the one time but just put it back in the closet after that. Some toys/boards are broken too. This isn't really a con for me because we rented for the space not the beach supplies.
Cons:The cleaning company is inadequate to say the least. Every toilet had mold in them.Two of the three shower curtains had mold from the bottom to about a third of the way up.The number to the cleaning company was provided on the bulletin board but we did not reach out so the company and the owner really didn't have a chance to address.Our family only gets to go on vacation around once every three years and we didn't want to spend our limited time scheduling a time for the cleaning company or waiting for them to come back.We just all used the one shower that didn't have mold on it and cleaned the toilets ourself. When removing the toilet brush from one of the holders we saw that the toilet brush was caked with poop. Obviously the cleaning company didn't even attempt to clean the bathrooms.
