The well known Sandestin golf course is less than a mile from the cottage. Numerous restaurants and recreational opportunities are very close.

The quaint towns of Seaside and Watercolor along 30a are just minutes east.

You can RELAX and SOAK by the heated POOL (seasonal). There are BASKETBALL courts, HORSESHOE courts, and a small playground on the resort property. STROLL the scenic fountain lined path on the way to the BEACH -- the walk to the beach is short, but should you want to drive, there are parking spots right at the boardwalk and beach entrance. There is a pet boarding kennel close by, off the property -- DOG DAYS KENNELS, for those with pets who travel. The resort does NOT allow guest pets due to liability and insurance.

This cottage has all the comforts and amenities of home while providing an exotic Florida RETREAT.

Stay at Hidden Dunes

Nice place, a little inconvenient for the beach for older guests. Main complaints: king size bed mattress in poor condition , and pillows need to be updated. Lots of palmetto bugs, both dead and alive inside cottage. Got to be too much. Owner is very informative and responsive.

Already scheduled to go back!

We were THRILLED with our stay at Hidden Dunes! The condo was gorgeous and comfortable and had everything we have ever needed and more. The proximity to the beach was great and the walk was beautiful! We enjoyed the lake, the pools, and the grounds so much. Already counting the days to our next visit!

WONDERFUL STAY

We had a wonderful week at our cottage in Hidden Dunes. The two bedroom /2 bathroom cottage was a perfect size. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was clean and had all the necessary cooking supplies. Hidden Dunes has two easily accessible pools, one which is heated. Each had a hot tub. Our girls enjoyed both. The walk to the beach was easy and about 7 mins (even with a child). The beach access and private beach area was large with plenty of seating. They do set up their own property chairs and umbrellas, but there is still plenty of open space for your own as well. The only issue we ran into was the lock box not working. However, this was addressed within minutes. Communication with the owner and staff was easy. We appreciated the owners quick responses and helpful information packet. All and all we had a perfect family vacation. We will definitely be returning!

Wonderful time!

My family & I came down & it was an amazing time!! The pools were beautiful & clean! The ocean was amazing, about a 5-8 minute walk. The ocean was as beautiful as the pictures! Check - in process was super easy & Doug was able to let us check in an hour earlier. There were beach chairs at the condo that we were able to use! The security at hidden dunes were super nice! Downfall about the beach - SOO many chairs set up waiting for people to rent. If you bring your own umbrella, you have to sit behind the first row of green chairs. The condo could have been a bit cleaner - hair on the bathroom floor, ripped underwear in the bedroom trash & the screened in porch smelt a bit like mold when it rained. I asked the owner if they supplied paper products & he said yes - there was only 3 rolls of toilet paper & 1 paper towel for the whole week. Another HUGE downfall which wasn't the owners fault at all was that the people upstairs WERE SO LOUD! It sounded like they were stomping around like dinosaurs! We had some issues with the toilet (kept running & wouldn't shut off) & the kitchen sink was difficult to turn off (you would turn the knob off & it would still leak water) Overall it was a pretty amazing trip :)

Sad to leave

Sweet little cottage for a great vacation! Loved the screened in porch for meals - cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable. We loved the master shower after a day at the beach! Only drawback is the distance from the beach - beautiful walkways and boardwalk to get to the beach but we didn’t use the chair and umbrella rental service (To save some money) so it was work to get there - you can drive closer but parking was limited with the number of people who were there. The property owner, Doug, was amazing to work with - very responsive to emails/texts. Would love to stay next year!!
