Direct views Gulf Park Cottages at Dunes Park #F

Cottages at Dunes Park is located directly by the Gulf State Park. It is the most eastern property in Gulf Shores and nothing will be built to block the view east and south. Our unit is located directly by the pool and is as far from the road as you can be. There is access to the beach ~.1 miles to the west of the property. It is about a quarter mile from the house to the beach.

This newly constructed beach house has many upgrades you won't find in other properties. We have a gas range, outdoor shower with hot and cold water, upgraded cabinets, lighting, appliances, and fixtures.

It features 3 bedrooms and 4 full baths. We have beds to sleep 18 people. There is also a tankless water heater to ensure there is plenty of hot water when its time to wash the salt off and head out for the evening.

In addition to the the large porch with views of the park and beach there is a Komamdo grill downstairs for those evening cookouts.

We are also pet friendly for dogs. The pet fee for 1 is $105, 2 is $175 and 3 is $225. No cats allowed. When booking please let us know the breed, size and number of dogs. We can update your quote if need be after booking. Sorry, but the beaches are not pet friendly, but you will see many dogs walking on Beach Blvd and there is a dog park on Lake Shelby less than 1/2 mile away.

We do have security cameras in the parking area under the home. This is for your security and to verify who is at the property. We do limit the number of guests at the property and require the main renter to be present at check in.

We have 5 other direct Gulf Front Condos about 2.5 miles west of this home if you need additional accommodations.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Beautiful home with a beautiful view of the park and beach. Lots of room, very clean, and has all that you need (including a Keurig). I’m very picky and was extremely happy with this home. We will definitely stay again if we head back to Gulf Shores.

Great beach house!

This was the perfect house for our trip! More than enough sleeping space for our 4 adults and 5 kids, right across the street from beach access. Right next to the neighborhood pool was a huge plus! Easy to run in for bathroom breaks or to refrigerated items. Check in was simple, house was clean, property manager was a text or phone call away and replied almost immediately. We have nothing bad to say about this property!

Great time

This was a beautiful property and very comfortable. We had our daughter’s family with us and we each had a master bedroom and bathroom. There is bedding for a very large group, and 4 full baths. We could watch the pool from the balcony. Only downside is the dishes were not microwaveable. Lots of dishes but only two small containers could be used in the microwave. So that can be resolved by bringing paper plates.

Wonderful Beach Cottage

We had a great week at Lance's cottage. The kitchen was very nicely appointed, comfy beds and great living space. Many thoughtful touches throughout...laundry detergent, soaps in each bathroom, extra refrigerator in the laundry room, pillows and throws on the couches, etc. The cottage had views of Gulf SP as well as the Gulf of Mexico. It was a short 5 minute walk to the beach, which was wonderful! Given that it abuts Gulf State Park, the beach was much less crowded than just a couple hundred of yards West. Lance was very responsive to questions, and recommended a great restaurant, Tin Top. It's about a 20 minute drive but well worth it! The convenience of Gulf SP is great; 28 miles of hiking/biking trails, a huge dog park, and great beach access. You will not be disappointed!

We loved staying here. Plenty of space for family of 5, could’ve slept many more, loved having 4 bathrooms. Had everything we needed, comfy beds, nice linens. Short walk to the beach and not too crowded because you’re at the end by the state park. Easy to drive to restaurants but also nice and removed to just stay in. Pool nice added plus. Loved overlooking the park. Would stay again!
