We enjoyed our time at Bonnie Dune. House was very well equipped for our two week stay. The location is good. Views off the deck are gorgeous! You overlook the lagoon and have beautiful sunsets. We would stay again if we are ever back in Gulf Shores.
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.
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!
Mr. David had a beautiful home! The down stairs living part was awesome. The upstairs was open and spacious. The outside space was so relaxing! The decor was light and beautiful. They thought of everything to accomidate families with kids! So close to everything. Highly recommended for any family! We had an absolute blast and will definitley rebook!
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.
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!
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.
My family and I stayed at Bonnie Dunne for a week and we were so happy with our stay! The cottage was clean, comfortable, and bright. Location was perfect for us, just minutes to the beach, stores, and restaurants. We definitely would like to vacation here in the future!
