Dunes 209

"We had 10 weeks of constant construction ! It was not restful or quiet!
There were 4 different trades working. Started at 7 AM. Roof.
, windows, removing stucco and starting process of rebuilding , grinding down of cement decks and walkways
It was loud, dusty , messy intrusive
I understand these were repairs from hurricane Sally from 2020
And I understand they have to be done. But we rented back in May, paid in full early Nov. we’re told Dec 17 there would be some minor repairs going on. We couldn’t cancel. And these were not minor. We were told Sunset didn’t know and the condo association didn’t share. Well the owners are the condo association. So they certainly should have known how major these repairs would be. Unfortunately we had no choice. Could not get money back or new place. We asked for at least some compensation of at least $1000. Other renters did receive refunds from other owners. We paid over $6000 for this place.
Plus the unit is very tired. Worn bedding with rips in some, curtains dirty, no screens on sliders, bedroom windows had plastic taped over. So windows couldn’t be opened the entire time. Plus they aren’t even close to being done plus carpet was pretty gross and vacuum didn’t really work. We had to totally dust and clean twice from all the dust from the deck grinding. There were also holes in the two bedrooms from pounding the new insulation on the outside. About 14 in one room 4 in the other
I would not recommend staying here

"We appreciate your very detailed review. We did notify guest about the construction, we had no control or say so over any of the construction projects that were going on. It is still repair from Hurricane Sally, many properties along the Gulf Coast still have construction going on. We do not manage all of the condos at the Dunes, therefore i have no knowledge about what other guests received. I've had other reviews that stated the guest had a great time while staying there, and the dates were the same as yours. We were happy that we could accommodate you by adding on to your stay as you requested. We hope the construction will be completed soon for everyone that was affected by that terrible storm. "

"We loved the access to the grill and pool! We were taken back by the damage the building still had from the 2019 hurricane. We appreciated the staff and their patience as we were affected in our schedule by that hurricane. The only disappointment was the kitchen tools available! We cooked a lot and they could use an upgrade! We will book again!!!!"

"Cari, thank you for staying with us! The recovery process is ongoing even though it has been three years. We will certainly add to the kitchen inventory. We look forward to having you stay with us again!"

"Amazing "

"Thank you, Wendy! Come back and stay with us again!"

"Had the perfect weather and very comfortable condo. A lot of room for everyone to have their own space. We enjoyed the property and Fort Morgan. This is our come to place!! Always use sunset properties to book. Looking forward to our next visit in June!!"

"Woo hoo! Thanks, Julie, for the review! We are always glad to have our repeat guests stay with us! I'm glad the weather cooperated! See you in June!!"

"Dunes 209...would definitely stay there again...two balconies with awesome views...three bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths...very well decorated and very clean...Thanks to Karen Davis and Sunset Properties for all they did for us...

Would recommend Sassy Bass restaurant and Tacky Jacks....also recommend King Neptunes, The Original Oyster House and Lulus in Gulf Shores..."

"We were so glad to be able to accommodate y'all!! I am thrilled that Dunes 209 worked out so well for your stay! We look forward to seeing y'all again next year!"

"Our first trip to fort Morgan and our first time staying with Sunset Properties. Everything was fantastic and we will be back!"

"Thank you so much!! we love to hear this, and hope to have you come out and stay with us for many years to come!"

"Dunes 209 is a remote location, but you can get to orange beach / gulf shores in 25 minutes. You are set far back from the beach - which is fine, but it was not a good fit for toddlers. The pool was nice. The unit was spacious, but needed updates & needed better beds & pillows. The rooms should come equipped with room darkening shades for the guests to use if they want to sleep in. We used the grills often, & it was nice being close to tacky jacks. "

"Thank you, Jeremy, for the recommendations. We do value our guest's input so that we know where we need improvements. We will definitely pass your recommendations to that condo owner. I hope you will bring your family back and stay with us again! "

"We had hiccups in the beginning as our original place had damage that completion was delayed. We had to shorten our stay by 1 day to find this 1 but was actually a better fit for our family. Unlock code did not work when we arrived, but 1 phone call & a few minutes on the phone, challenge solved. Such a beautiful location, quiet, peaceful & friendly! This condo had all the basics needed & was quite nice! Next time I talk my husband into a Vacation (had been some years) I would LOVE to return here. Was exactly everything I had hoped for a wonderful family getaway!"

"Yay!! Dunes 209 is in such an awesome location and I'm so glad you were able to find it! We'd love to have you and your husband back, just let us know when you're ready for another getaway!"

"The condo was clean and very met all my needs. I prefer gulf front, however, I booked late. This condo afforded me and my guest lots of privacy
The amenities were plentiful. The cost was reasonable.
It is approximately 3 blocks from the beach ( not 3 minutes). It takes at least 5+ minutes to walk to the beach.
Everyone associated with the rental was polite and courteous.
Two worth mentioning flaws: bedskirts on bed were ripped from base and the balcony off primary bedroom had no chairs - easily remedied with my own umbrella chairs that happened to be in my trunk.
Wonderful restaurants, markets, and spirit stores near by.
"

"Yay!! I'm glad you were able to find this awesome property at such short notice. It is so close to the beach and is a great place to get away. We will look into the balcony not having furniture! Come back and see us again, we also have directly gulf front properties!"

"Beautiful location. Very spacious, had water leak from shower head. Maintenance came and fixed it immediately and was super nice and friendly. Always book through Sunset properties, always a great experience.I can not wait till our next trip in June!����"

"Julie, I can't agree with you more on the fact that this is a beautiful location! We can't wait to see you in June. When you book your next trip don't forget to ask about our loyalty program!!"

"We love Fort Morgan. Peaceful and relaxing vacation. Condo was nice and clean. "

"Yay! Thank you for the review! Give us a call when you are ready for some more beach time! Thank you for staying with us!"

"I took my grandmother and her sister to meet up with her sister from out of town here! We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything in the condo was perfect! The security at the condo was so nice and helpful with everything! "

"That is great to hear! I'm glad the condo worked well for you and your family. We would love to book you're next visit to the beach!"

"Condo was just as expected; clean and close to the beach. Quiet location away from the crowds of gulf shores.

"

"We love the peace and quiet at Fort Morgan! And I am glad you enjoyed your stay in Dunes 209! Let us get your next stay booked!"

"Clean and mostly quiet. Some building maintenance in progress but it has to be done at some point, understandable. The ONLY issue we were not pleased with is the pool and hot tub area was only opened until 9:00pm and children filled the hot tub every day until 9:00pm I would suggest 9-11pm adults only."

"Thank you, Rocky, for the review of your stay in Dunes 209. Unfortunately, we don't manage the pool or the building, so we don't have a say in the pool rules, but that sounds like a great idea!"

"Had a blast. Looking forward to doing this again. Was our girls 14th birthday celebration. "

"Awesome! Thank you for letting us know and give us a call when you are ready to come back!"

"We loved the location of the condo near the end of Fort Morgan Road. We had leaky faucets that was repaired immediately. No other problems. We enjoyed the ferry rides to Dauphin Island, walking the Gulf and Bay beaches, exploring the Forts. We listened to live music at Sassy Bass resturant. We really enjoyed Sweet Home Alabama!"

"That is what we like to hear from our guests! Glad maintenance was quick to respond! Fort Morgan is a bit secluded, but does offer some enjoyable activities! Please come and stay with us again!"

"We had a great experience. Loved the almost private beach!"

"Yay!!! We are so glad to hear this! We hope to see you again soon!!"

"We so enjoyed our stay at the Dunes Condo in Ft. Morgan. There were 6 adults, 2 kids, and a dog, and the size of the rental was perfect! We never felt crowded. We loved the views of the colorful houses on the beach, and the walk to the beach was not bad at all. The only complaint we had was that the pool was shut down for an entire day (on a pretty day too!) for chemical treatment. We were a little sad about that, especially with our little kiddos wanting to go swimming, but it was up and running the next day."

"Alicia, we are so very glad you enjoyed your stay with us! Sorry about the pool, sometimes the association does have to close the pool for maintenance, at least they got you up and going the next day! Kids do love the pool!!"

"Over all this property was really nice. Was clean and ready on time. Very spacious and our family had plenty of room. Pictures really don't do the property justice. "

"Yay!! Thanks for writing a review, we are so glad you were satisfied with your stay here at Ft Morgan!"

"We loved Ft. Morgan - our first time staying. We had 6 adults, 2 toddlers and our dog."

"Yay!! We are so glad you found us, and we hope you'll get to come back often!"

"Dunes 209 was everything that was advertised. Despite a minor refrigerator problem we had a wonderful time. The Sunset Properties staff was great. We checked in after hours but the staff had things arranged perfectly for our late arrival. The actual condo was great. It made for a wonderful family vacation. I would not hesitate to use these facilities again."

"Yay!! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, and certainly glad we could resolve the issue with the fridge quickly!"

"We needed a condo for just two nights in July and were happy to find this one available. We liked that it was a smaller complex, which made for easy parking, no elevator wait, and less crowded pool. Check in was super easy. Our unit had a nice view of the gulf. Everything was in working order, with exception of the dryer which took about 4 hours to dry a load of towels. We didn't discover this until the morning we checked out."

"This was our first time renting a condo for our vacation. Also our first time in Alabama. People are very friendly their.We were very pleased that everything went smoothly . Condo was very clean and spacious. We had a great time , and would definitely like to go back in the future. Thank you Sunset Properties for an enjoyable stay."

"Thank you for the review!! We are so glad you had a memorable and warm welcome to our state! We hope you continue renting condos for your accommodations, especially if it is a condo with us:) "

"We love the location and the atmosphere and people can't wait to come back "

"Yay!!!"

"We wished we had stayed longer, the younger boys would have liked to be a little closer to town but all in all, we loved the seclusion. Condo was spacious enough to accommodate all 7 of us.
Wish we had brought knives from home as the kitchen knives were very dull and could barely cut anything, and the dryer either needs to be cleaned out or replaced. It would take 3 times of the highest setting to dry a small load of clothes.
But the staff was very friendly and helpful. Johnny on the spot too."

"Great getaway spot. Enjoyed the 2 balconies on the corner!"

"We had a great vacation here. It was a nice room, clean and mostly quiet. It had all the kitchen things we needed, including a blender and a toaster! :) There was space here and there to tuck in our own things, as well, which is helpful. We weren't sure how close we'd be to the beach, but it was only about 1/4 mile, easily walkable. Thank you!"

"Yeah!!! So glad you had an awesome time!! Please come back and see us again real soon!!"

"We loved staying in the condo. It was a great place and had an awesome view especially for the price. One request I would have is to provide more towels for the bathrooms especially if the stay is more than a few days and numerous people staying."

"The weather was perfect for our fall trip to the beach. This was our first stay in the Ft. Morgan area. We loved the beach, dining at Tacky Jacks and will visit again. Thank You!!!"

"Thank you for writing a review of your stay in Dunes 209. The beaches in Fort Morgan are always great but Fall is absolutely the best time to visit. Please call or go online to book your next stay with us soon. Sunset Properties Staff"

"Everything was awesome!!!"

"Thank you for taking time to review your stay with us in Dunes 209. Glad to hear that you found everything was perfect for your visit and we look forward to booking your next visit soon! Sunset Properties Staff"

"the view from unit 209 was abstracted by trees. Our fridge did not keep food cold, was fixed. The bathtub drains had to be unclogged and the pool was closed to much, otherwise we had a good time"

"This is the second year we have stayed here. Love it because it is away from the crowds. Unit 209 was very nice. Great air conditioner. We had a good view especially with the sun going down. The staff at the office were all very nice. A special thanks to Katie for me worrying her with so many emails asking questions before we came. Also was glad we were able to stay 2 extra nights. Overall a very nice place. Will be back here next year if all goes well with us. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation. My 2 year old granddaughter had a great time in the little kiddie pool at the Indies. The only thing I would change is that the pool and hot tub stay open a little later than 9. Not really for me but for my daughter (the younger generation) ha ha!!"

"Very pleased with our rental. We will be back next year."
