Soak in the serene coastal beauty that surrounds you at Gulf Shores Plantation Dunes. This retreat has been recently updated with all new décor and furnishings. Whether your condo is directly on the Gulf or comes with a less direct view of the Gulf, you'll find yourself in the middle of one of the most beautiful areas of the Gulf Coast - Fort Morgan. Fort Morgan is well known for its peaceful, laid-back atmosphere where vacationers can explore nature at the Bon Secour National Wildlife Sanctuary or the historic Civil War-era Fort Morgan.

The wildlife refuge, which encompasses some of the state's last remaining undisturbed coastal barrier habitat, is home to a variety of wildlife, with more than 360 different species of birds documented on the site. Spring and fall welcome beautiful migratory bird populations as they travel between their breeding and wintering grounds. The refuge is also home to endangered species, including the loggerhead, Kemp's Ridley and green sea turtles as well as the Alabama Beach Mouse.

Historic Fort Morgan is situated on Mobile Point at the end of the scenic Fort Morgan Peninsula. Here, you'll find nature areas, a boat launch, a picnic area and beaches along with an on-site museum and opportunities to learn about the significant role the fort played in the Battle of Mobile Bay in August 1864.

Back at Plantation Dunes, you'll enjoy a variety of resort amenities, such as basketball, shuffleboard and tennis courts; a putting green; a horseshoes pit; a sauna; an indoor pool; a barbecue area; and a volleyball net. Choose Gulf Shores Plantation Dunes for your next vacation, and you'll appreciate the comfort of your condo, the beauty of the natural surroundings and the resort's many amenities.

Cute Studio with a Great View
The unit was very cute and clean. There was construction being done in the building, so there was some noise early every morning around 8 a.m. That detracted some from the peacefulness, but, we still enjoyed our stay.

Great location condo needs improvements
The proximity to the beach is perfect. The condo is very nicely decorated but it needs work. The small appliances need to be replaced. The ceiling in the shower is coming down. The toilet sings every time it is flushed which I am sure is annoying to the neighbors. It was to us. Neither remote for the tv worked.

Great little condo
Great little condo. Was very clean, and has a great view. The balcony is small, but suitable for 2 adults, and probably 1 smaller child. There are some extra (beach) chairs in closet. Decor is super cute, just like the pictures. There is a dishwasher, microwave, stove, coffee maker (regular round filters), and a toaster. No washer or dryer, but they are available at the ground floor for a small fee (cash or card, $2.50 per load). A kitchen towel, paper towels, small dish soap, a dishwasher pod, 2 small soap bars, a mini shampoo and body wash were supplied complementary. There were 4 shower towels, some wash rags, and some small handtowels and a floor towel. I have a few remarks, that won't keep me from rating 5 stars, but may help to cross the t's. The pull-out couch is really worn, my 7-year old slept on it and she thought it was fine, but it was sunk and not giving any support. I would have been miserable on it. Also, there were no sheets for it, but thankfully we always bring our own bedding. Another really good addition would be a small, collapsing/over the door drying rack, because with all the beach towels and swim clothes, there's not much room to hang them to dry. Lastly, it would be nice if the shower curtain could be washed like every two weeks or so. It gets a little stinky after a few days of use, although it doesn't look dirty or moldy. Overall, a wonderful place and I would certainly come again!!

Short getaway
Beautiful property. Loved sipping my coffee on the balcony watching the waves. The only complaint I have is that there is nowhere to unpack your things. So we had to live out of the suitcases, like in a hotel room.

Peaceful private room
Loved everything about this location. The balcony was just enough for two people and very private. I would definitely recommend it for couples or individuals who need quiet time and privacy. Great local restaurants and all the amenities were wonderful. The only thing I would like to suggest for consideration is that the gym facility opens earlier for those of us who get up early (even on vacation LOL).

Short stay
Clean room that was perfect for a short stay. The sofa sleeper is due for an upgrade. Personally, I’d replace the buffet with a dresser so guests would have somewhere to put clothes. The unit is on the end which means beach front, so that was a plus. Small balcony, but fine for 2 people.

Great view and Relaxing
I always look for the great view and Relaxing reviews...this was small, but just right for my husband and I. There was a screen at the balcony and I left door open for the view and hearing the ocean rushing in....we stocked up on snacks and made breakfast. The pull out...not comfy, I brought a small memory foam to top it off and it was good! There are some good eating places ...one on property...close ...but even more a bit of a drive away...some great history sights and the ferry ride was nice! Will keep this on my go back list.

beautiful view, a few issues
The condo itself is sparse but sufficient, and everything worked well in it. The balcony is a very tight space, but that's the case with all of the Dunes sunsuites. We were immediately thrown upon arrival when I found out that parking wasn't included everything I'd already paid for. I thought I recalled paying a $50 parking fee as part of the cost of the stay, but found out that there was a $25 pass I had no purchased. I've done this before with privately-owned condos at Plantation, but was always given ample notice that this would need to be paid prior to arrival. I thought since this was under Vacasa, it was different, and as far as I can tell, I wouldn't have figured it out if not for downloading the Vacasa app. We also noticed upon arrival that the one drawer on the nightstand was completely broken. I went ahead and notified Vacasa of this, but it wasn't a big deal because we weren't going to use it, anyway. My partner found the bed uncomfortable. Overall, things went smoothly aside from those glitches. The building took significant damage from Hurricane Sally in 2020, but this unit has bounced back well.

Nice
The condo was well equipped with everything we needed. There was a problem with slow drains and water in the bottom of the dishwasher. They had someone come out and service the dishwasher and drains quickly, I might add. This in no way detracted from our vacation. Overall, a great experience. Comfortable and felt like home.
