About this property

Beach House w/ Direct views of Gulf State 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, tankless water heater, 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 and with 4 full baths. 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 $205. 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.

We loved the property and location. We stayed over Thanksgiving week and it was convenient to everything. The property was well equipped and clean. There was plenty of room and we enjoyed watching the sunrise from the deck while drinking our coffee. We would stay here again.

Excellent

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!

Nice little beach cottage, just across the road from the beach and next to the state park. If you're looking for a quieter part of the area, this is it. Nicely updated and very clean.

This amazing beach house was big enough for the 18 guess I had. It is in a perfect area across from the beach. The balcony view was awesome. The house was clean, neat, and organized. It had all the essentials we needed for our stay. We will definitely be booking again.

Family vacation

I loved our stay at this property. The house was beautiful. It was right next to the pool so the older grandkids would swim while I set on the porch and could watch them. I loved how easy it was to get to the beach. Even my two three year old grand babies loved it so much they cried when we had to leave.

Great vacation spot

Beautiful new home. Very nicely furnished. The pool is right next to this unit, which is a plus. The unit is on the quiet end of Gulf Shores, next to the state park, but a very short drive to many restaurants. Easy and fast communication with the owners; they were extremely nice to work with.

Cute little house!

Enjoyed the house. We were there dor our daughter's tournament in Foley. Beautiful, cut home and perfect for what we needed. I will say a talk needs to be held with the cleaning crew about minor thoing, but when comunicated with owner things were handled promptly. Thank you!

Great house in a wonderful location.

We had a wonderful trip to Gulf Shores and were very comfortable in this house with our family of four. The views are lovely and the house had everything we needed. The only challenge for us was the bit of a trek to the beach in the very hot weather, and especially crossing the road with no crosswalk. It would be great if the city added a crosswalk. Overall, it was great!

Could not ask for more

The house was beautiful and so well maintained. The location was perfect with only a short walk to the beach. You do have to cross a 4 lane to get to the beach but it was extremely easy to cross. The food around the location was phenomenal as well. We could not have asked for anything more from Lance and Courtney. They were so fast with communication responses and extremely friendly!

About the host

Hosted by Lance & Courtney Steffek

Host profile image
We live in Gulf Shores and love the area. We have 4 children; Emma, Lachlan, Lennox and Piper that love the beach and pools. We are not far away and enjoy staying at the beach when other families are not enjoying it. It has been such a joy owning this home and being able to share it with other families throughout the year.

Why they chose this property

We didn't know it when we bought the property but our first weekend at the property we had the great experience of seeing hundreds of fire flies from our balcony while looking at the park. Hopefully other guests get to enjoy this unique sight. We also love the convenience of the proximity to all the trails in the park and the Gulf State pier.
