About this property

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, 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.

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.

Peaceful and Relaxing

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!

Great spot

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 property was great! Love that it is right beside the pool! Lance was really a great host. Quick replies. Bring a waffle maker if you are like me. Quick walk to the beach. Access was quick and the street was not busy even during spring break!

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!

Guld Shores

My husband, 2 dogs, and I stayed for a month. We stayed at the end of January through the end of February. It was a great place to stay. It was clean and comfortable, had all the amenities we needed and the views were amazing. Everyone in Gulf Shores is so friendly. The beach is the cleanest most beautiful beach I have ever seen. While we were staying we had an issue with the power going out. We contacted Lance and he came over right away and fixed the issue. This was an all-around great experience. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking. I could only give 5 stars but if I could give 10 I would!

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!

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.
