The Space:
La Casita (unit E) is the ideal beach cottage for your next beach vacation to Gulf Shores and the Alabama Gulf Coast.
La Casita is located in one of the area’s newest beach developments, Cottages at Dunes Park, located just one-mile east of The Hangout. Built in 2023, it is the last development before entering the Gulf State Park, which is protected from future development. Cottages at Dunes Park is surrounded by the Gulf State Park to the north, south, and east.
Once in this coastal community, La Casita (unit E) is 5th cottage on the left. Located on the back, west side, La Casita sits directly across from the community pool and offers one-of-a-kind, amazing views of the State Park wildlife preserve. With only 10 cottages in the entire development and being located next to the State Park, the beach and pool will never be as crowded as you will find with a high-density condo complex. While secluded, you are just steps from the beach (directly across the street) and walking distance to Gulf Shores shopping, dining, and entertainment.
No details have been overlooked in this fantastic beachside cottage. La Casita features shiplap walls, ceramic tile floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, marble tile showers, covered parking and an outdoor shower. At 1500 sq. feet, this cottage offers all of the luxuries you should expect from a premier beach vacation rental.
This two-bedroom, three full-bath beach cottage has all you will need for the perfect beach getaway. The main level includes the living area, kitchen, dining area, and full bath. The well-equipped kitchen is perfect for making meals, complete with will a refrigerator, electric range, drip coffee pot, microwave, and dishwasher. The open floorplan living area has plenty of space for dining, entertaining or just relaxing. The living area has direct access to the spacious outdoor balcony where you may enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee while gazing over the pool, wildlife preserve, and Lake Shelby.
Located on the second level, the master bedroom offers a king-sized bed and private bathroom. The master bath features a double granite vanity and walk-in shower. The guest bedroom also has a private bath and has two queen beds. The living room has a queen sofa-sleeper making room for up to 8 guests to share this luxurious cottage.

Don't miss the opportunity to have the vacation of a lifetime at La Casita basking on our sugar-white sandy beaches, floating in the pool, and enjoying the beautiful turquoise water of the Gulf of Mexico.

Other Things to Note:
