About this property

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!

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!

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!!

About the host

Host profile image
We love to travel and have lived in many areas of the US from DC to Seattle. We have 5 children aged from 16 to 35. Our youngest daughter enjoys being here so much it is rejuvenating for us to watch her frolic in the water, waves and sand.

We have always loved hosting friends, family, our kid's friends, and often new friends we only just met. There is always someone coming or going at our current home, so we are very happy to have you as a guest at Bonnie Dune!

Why they chose this property

With retirement looming on the horizon, we became more and more interested in spending time enjoying the beach so we started looking for the "ideal" location.
We have traveled to some of the greatest beaches in the world including Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and both coasts of the US. In our opinion, Gulf Shores beaches rival them all. The clean, white sand and sparkling clear water are outstanding; we felt at home the day we drove into town.
It was love at first sight when we walked into this little cottage on Little Lagoon. It was just right for us. The location could not be better, close to the beach, yet also on the water of "Little Lagoon" allowing the best of both worlds. It is quiet and peaceful, yet there is lots of activity nearby. You can relax and do nothing, or be as active as you want. The house is great for quiet time alone but also is perfect for socializing with friends and family.

What makes this property unique

This house definitely has unique benefits. The biggest one is the location. The water view is great but knowing you have direct access to enjoy the water takes the experience to a whole new level! The Lagoon offers almost every water activity possible, from sailing to fishing and jet skiing to paddle boarding. Kayak in the early morning and then head to the beach after breakfast.

Several guests have commented how much they appreciate the flexibility of enjoying the sandy back yard and lagoon on days when the beach may be windy or stormy. It is very convenient to not have to scramble off the beach in case of a sudden thunderstorm.

The neighborhood is quiet and there is no thru-traffic. The neighbors are very friendly and there is a strong sense of community. There is so much within walking distance making shopping, restaurants, rentals, entertainment and of course the beach, all very convenient. Also, West Beach Blvd is very accessible for those times you want to travel by car.
