The 'Dunes' Beach House is located in Cabana Beach subdivision, 8961 Pompano Way, on Fort Morgan Peninsula, in Gulf Shores, Alabama, next door to the open, uncrowded Veterans Beach of Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge.
We are almost beachfront without the cost. Pompano Way Road dead ends in front of our house, walk left out of our driveway, no roads or lots to cross. and about 40 steps you are in the Sand, an area that has the sugar-white sand/quartz Beach, which is the whitest, cleanest and softest in the world! It's composed of 99% pure silica quartz (found only in S. Ala and in NW Florida Pan Handle). It was washed down from the Appalachian Mountains thousands of years ago and deposit by the rivers onto the S Ala an NW Fla coastline.

Just down the road is the historic Ft Morgan, and a ferry that crosses the bay to historic Fort Gains on Dauphin Island.

The 'Dunes' brings back memories of long ago, when you sit on one of the two decks, and listen to the birds, watch the waves roll in and sometimes dolphins playing. You can enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, see the stars at night with no obstruction of streetlights.

The two-story Beach House is cozy with two covered decks, swing, two picnic tables, hammock.

-Ground level has an outside shower with hot and cold water, utility room with a washer, two dryers, gas fish cooker, and lots of beach toys, maybe even a forgotten kite. There is a picnic table, swing, hammock and chairs.
-Main level has a deck overlooking beach/gulf, living room with sleeper sofa, cable tv, Internet. The kitchen is open and fully equipped. It has a breakfast bar which seats two and a table that seats eight. Off the hallway are two bedrooms, and a shower bath. One bedroom has twin beds with tv, the other has two queen sized beds, with tv. This level has all ceramic tile flooring which is easy to maintain.
-The master bedroom is up a flight of stairs to the top level. It has its own bath, and private deck overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. This room has walk-in closet, tv, telephone, king-size bed.

When they are training you can also enjoy the Navy's 'Blue Angels', which are based in nearby Pensacola. They train in the Cabana Beach area. We have one of the pilots trained, when we are on the beach, and he comes flying low over the gulf we frantically wave, and he does a 180-degree flip to flying upside down!
We have volunteer fire department, so no fireworks or fires are allowed.
INTERNET Starlink Satellite-very good reception.

    The Hosts were superb in every way. The house is plenty close enough to the beach - very very brief walk. The beach area was great. The house was plenty big enough. The beds were okay - in the room with 2 doubles the mattresses are a bit worn and the bed frame makes loud noise when you rollover. One of the recliners is missing the plug and therefore doesn’t recline. Other than that - exceptionally nice stay. Well equipped kitchen and each room well equipped with what was needed. Again, the hosts are super nice, very responsive and eager to make your stay wonderful.

    This property was even better than advertised. From the location, to the unobtrusive beach views, we had the best. The home is cozy with everything you need. Owners were easy to deal with. We’ll be back!

    We and our dogs spent the week at Dune Ranch. The property was clean and true to the pictures. Neighborhood was private and safe. Beach access was convenient. The beach was not crowded and clean. The views and sounds are amazing from the property. The owners were easy to work with. We would consider booking again.
