This place was fantastic. We try to do a family vacation with my in-laws and their children every year during spring break. We wanted something on the beach that would be large enough to accomodate the 16 of us without tripping over each other. This house was perfect. Right on the beach so you can drink your morning coffee, watch the dolphin play and listen to the ocean. We could sit on the decks and watch the children down at the waters edge. The total walk down the boardwalks to the beach took approximately 2 minutes. You can't get any closer to the beach unless you pitch a tent on the beach!! The house was great, extremely homey and comfortable. We didn't worry that we were going to break something, it was so very inviting and the men spent a lot of time on the couches watching March Madness while we women sat on the decks or went to the beach. The home is about 20 minutes from the main tourist attractions and this was lovely for us as it wasn't so busy and gave us a chance to get away. The bedrooms were all good sized and the beds were very comfortable. It was so nice having a bathroom for each bedroom and every room also had large closets. There are decks off of each bedroom which allowed you to see what the temperature was going to be prior to getting dressed and heading out. the kitchen/dining area was large enough to accomadate us all easily. George was extremely friendly and supplied us with a lot of information so we were well prepared. Tacky Jacks is just across the street from the subdivision and we enjoyed the bar and the even chartered a boat through their marina. I highly recommend Walter at the Marina, he gave us a great fishing experience and we even threw a bunch back!! Sherrie at the bar was also extremely friendly and informative. We ate at the diner above the bar and i hate to say we were not impressed, the waitress was rude and to be honest we will not return to the dining part of Tacky Jacks. We also went and did the Zip lining adventure at the Gulf State Park, another recommendation, I never knew I could have so much fun. The people at the Hummingbird zip lines were extremely friendly and helpful and immediately put me at ease. We also drove about 45 minutes and watched the Blue Angels practice, what an experience! George, thank you so much for opening your beautifu home to us, we hope to return next year but if we can't you have given us memories to last a lifetime. Thank you!

My baby boomer aged families and I enjoyed a wonderful time, some might go as far to say an Enchanted Vacation at this property in February. It is located at the extreme end of Fort Morgan. There are sooh many pelicans and dolphins to watch from the 3 balconies, roads in the area to ride a bike, and an easy walk on the beach. We experienced coffee and a floor show of animal activity every morning. If you are looking for night life excitement, you might want to live closer to Gulf Shores. However, for a perfect sunrise or sunset look no further.

George thank you very much for sharing your lovely beach house with my family. We spend 7 glorious nights in the lap of luxury wanting for nothing except a longer stay. Folks - Enchanted Dunes is everything and more than specified in the advertisement. Plainly put - 5 STARS. We do an annual family reunion and this year I chose to return to NAS Pensacola, where I received my Wings of Gold in 1975. I wanted to take my family to the Naval Aviation museum and the NAS Cubi O’Club addition to show them what dad did while he was deployed to WESTPAC. We all wanted a beach location big enough to handle our group but in a location where folks could just relax and enjoy. Everything went perfectly. We were lucky enough to grab an extra night when the agency let us know that an earlier transition day was available. They didn’t have to do that, but they did – they were all about customer service and satisfaction. We received plenty of information to plan our trip and very courteous service from arrival to departure. In addition to Pensacola FL, we made day visits to Foley, Gulf Shores, The World Famous Flora-Bama Oyster Bar and Grill, and Fairhope AL. We set up evening shop at Tacky Jacks II and made it our nighttime hangout. The weather was very cooperative, and when we were not out seeing the sights, we were enjoying the beach – which OBW the house had plenty of gear for use in the sand. We cooked out one night and just sat on the first floor deck overlooking the Gulf while chatting, laughing and listening to the waves hit the shore. Enchanted Dunes has plenty of space with its 7 large bedrooms and baths. The elevator was a very nice accessory, but now my wife would like one in our home. The refrigerator on the carport level made food and drink storage a non issue. The adjacent work out facility was a hit with my daughter. Enchanted Dunes will always be a fond memory to all of us. George thanks again from a very grateful and relaxed group of smiling campers. Chuck McKeone.
