About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Enjoy easy Beach access from "Bonnie Dune" our cottage on Little Lagoon!

Water views from every room in the HOUSE. Front and back decks for sunbathing or just relaxing and watching the sunrise and sunsets! Fish from the dock or bring your boat and launch it on the private boat ramp. Relax in the fenced yard under palm trees with your toes in the sand. The beautiful, white sandy beach of the Gulf is just a short walk away!! Pier 33 is conveniently one block away for groceries or other necessities. The Hangout is just under a mile down the beach!!

NEW for 2020 - SANDY BOTTOM !!
Sandy Bottom is a recently converted (2020), self-contained apartment on the ground level. It is 300 sq. ft. and has the third bedroom with a queen bed, full bath with tub and shower, and a kitchenette. Sandy Bottom is just like a hotel room on the premises! Super convenient if you have additional family or friends that want to join you for the weekend but like a little extra privacy!

A recent comment from one of our guests was that "this was the most relaxing time they had ever spent". We love to hear about the wonderful experiences our guests have at Bonnie Dune! It is peaceful, serene, relaxing, and rejuvenating! The backyard is perfect for the kids to play in the sand and water while mom and dad enjoy their morning coffee on the deck. If it is too windy or threatening storms at the beach, you can enjoy the backyard "beach" without the hassle of having to pack up everything to vacate the beach if the storms do come.

Speaking of the beach, it is simply beautiful and oh so close! Just a short walk to the 6th Ave pedestrian crossing across West Beach Blvd, and the public beach access. There is public parking available if you don't feel like the 7-minute walk to get there. There are also public restrooms and showers there for your use, but it is also very convenient just to walk back to the house if you forgot something (like lunch!). Bonnie Dune is accessed with a digital key-code, uniquely programmed to your stay. No worrying about lost keys, or who has the keys if different folks want to return to the house at different times!

"Bonnie Dune" is a very easy, comfortable, fun home and property. Our search for a beach home ended when we first walked in the door and now, we are excited to share it with you. We hope you have many memorable times here!
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Gulf Shores Beach. You'll find features such as a water park. Enjoy your stay with amenities like free WiFi and a kitchen in the cottage.

Coastal perfection
We loved our week at the Bonnie Dune! Perfect quiet safe neighborhood and a short walk to the absolutely gorgeous beach. Fishing off the dock in the mornings and watching the sunsets in the evening was so nice. The house is very well laid out and has just the right beachy decor to make you really feel like you're on vacation. The separate Sandy bottom apartment was great for privacy and there's plenty of space upstairs for the whole family to hangout. So glad we chose this place!

The cottage was just as described. The owners were excellent communicating and check in/check out process was seamless. It was an easy walk to the beach access. We also enjoyed the beachy feel of the backyard. We would not hesitate to rent again in the future.

Relaxing and Peaceful
We enjoyed every minute at Bonnie Dune/Sandy Bottom! The pictures do not do this place justice. It is a beautiful property and comfortably furnished. We spent most of our time on the decks, playing in the sand of the “private backyard beach”, swinging and napping in the hammocks. We also enjoyed the convenience (just a short stroll away) of Pier 33 Grocery which includes an upstairs coffee shop. Walks to the beach using the wagon provided made the trips easier. David and Paula have furnished items to make you feel right at home. It’s a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to several eateries and a short car ride to many other places of interest. It’s the perfect location!

Super quiet location overlooking the lagoon. Our younger kids loved having the sand to play in, and the boat dock to catch hermit crabs in everyday! We loved the seatng area under the deck. It was so peaceful. The extras that were provided were great. There was a beach wagon and umbrella that we used everyday, and were so greatful to have use of them. We would recommend staying here to anyone, especially if you have littles.

Adorable and peaceful!
We loved our stay here. The house is even cuter in person. Feels very clean and well taken care of. Had everything we needed and more. We loved all the beach accessories we had access to. The outdoor space is where its at though. Nestled between two locally owned homes it made for quite a serene stay. We loved the night lights, hammocks and calm water. Had one hiccup but the owner was right on it and fixed the issue in less than 10 minutes. There is also a market right on street. We loved that. If youre looking for a reasonable home, reasonably priced for a medium sized fam this is the spot. My only fall back was the beach was a bit further walk than expected and parking for beach is 15 a day. At no fault to the owners. Just something to make note of. Thanks for letting us stay at Bonnie Dune.

Stunning Property
Can’t rave about this property enough. Everything from check in to check out was smooth and as described. David gave all the information needed in a timely manner and made sure we were happy with the accommodations. The highlight of the house has to be the open floor plan and the AMAZING porch and backyard. All the space you could ever want with stunning sunsets. On top of that we even caught a few crabs in the bay! Can’t wait to come back again!!

Beautiful property
This house was perfect for our family. It is in a great location just off of the Main Street (182) but still walking distance to the beach. What we enjoyed most was the backyard. A very relaxing environment plus a sandy backyard with a dock. Our family was able to enjoy the water and kayak right from the house.

Beach Without the Beach
Bonnie Dune is located far enough from hot spots to be quiet but close enough to easily access activity. Because of the sand in the back area you have the feel of always being at the beach. The main living area is exactly as described by VRBO and very comfortable. Great for two couples. The little apartment downstairs, Sandy Dune, would be fine for teenagers but is not nearly as nice as upstairs. I will add the public beach is a distance. The owner was great to work with.

Can't Wait to Return
House is awesome with large open spaces. Downstairs is perfect for the kids. Boat ramp perfect for seadoo's and going straight out in the gulf for fun on the Ocean. Property is ideally located next to store and very short walk to the beach. Everything is close, only 8 blocks from downtown, just a short walk down the beach. Sunsets have to be viewed from the balcony, you won't be sorry!

Great visit and great location
We had a great time at the property. The beach access wasn't super close (about an 8 minute walk), but driving and parking was easy (even if you have to pay) and the beach was great. Tons of nice families and its very clean. The property kitchen was stocked well. The only complaint I had was the AC didn't seem to get very cold, but it was also super hot the week we were there. I would definitely stay there again if we go back to Gulf Shores.
