About this property

Fort Morgan beachside retreat ~ pet-friendly ~ close to the sand

  • Dune Our Thing is a beautiful, pet-friendly beach side home just 120 steps from the beach in the peaceful Fort Morgan area. It's perfect for large families or groups of friends. This home comfortably sleeps up to 14 people with four bedrooms and four bathrooms. Relax on the wrap-around balcony with ample seating and partial beach views, ideal for sunset conversations, morning coffee, or enjoying the fresh Gulf breeze. The upper deck also provides a scenic spot to watch the sunrise over the shoreline. With beach access just a short walk from the property, you’re only moments from the sand, surf, and sun-filled fun.

    Inside, the open-layout design fills the home with natural light through large windows, complemented by coastal-inspired décor. Each level opens to a balcony, bringing in fresh Gulf breezes and partial beach views. The living area includes a sofa that converts into a queen bed and two additional couches, perfect for spending time together after a day at the beach. The fully equipped kitchen includes a coffee maker, blender, toaster, microwave, and full-sized fridge with ice maker. The dining area seats six, with additional seating at the eat-in counter with two bar stools. A washer and dryer are also available for added convenience.
