About this property

Pets, Pools and Peace

The Dune Abides is a pet-friendly, single-level beach home offering one of the most peaceful beach experiences in Gulf Shores. Just a 3-minute walk via flat boardwalk, the beach sits alongside federally protected land, allowing guests to walk for miles without crowds.

Inside, the home is filled with natural light and designed for groups to gather comfortably. The fully stocked kitchen seats 12 and includes both drip and Keurig coffee makers, a blender, crock pot, baking supplies, and everything needed for shared meals. All bedrooms feature Smart TVs, luxury linens, and ample storage.

Outdoor living is a highlight, with shaded patio and under-house areas available all day, Adirondack seating, and a private shuffleboard court. Guests enjoy resort amenities including two nearby pools and a year-round hot tub, with one pool located directly behind the home.

With fast WiFi, strong cell service, parking for up to six vehicles, and a quiet, uncrowded setting near nature preserves and Fort Morgan, The Dune Abides is ideal for families, multi-family groups, pet owners, and anyone seeking a calmer Gulf Shores stay.

About the host

Thanks for considering our home for your travels! A little bit about me... My husband and I were born and raised in Ohio. I stay at home with the kiddos, but during school hours you can find me planning our next adventure, or volunteering around the neighborhood. Steve always says I never met a committee I didn’t like!

We love doing lots of different things as a family, but traveling, particularly in the outdoors, is what really gets us excited. We have a lifetime goal of visiting all the US National Parks. The list includes:
-Cuyahoga Valley NP
-Wind Cave NP
-Badlands NP
-Mesa Verde NP
-Great Sand Dunes NP
-Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP
-Rocky Mountain NP

We hope you will choose our home for your stay, but regardless, have a great time during your travels and enjoy spending time with the ones you love!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property for the secluded peace and quiet of its gated community—offering a serene retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Gulf Shores. The home comfortably accommodates large gatherings of family and friends, including our four-legged family members. With easy access to the popular Tacky Jack’s just across the street for a night or two out, and an abundance of fresh seafood throughout the peninsula, this location offers the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience.

What makes this property unique

Dog friendly and located near only dog friendly beach (Fort Morgan Bay Shore) in Gulf Shores.
Private Shuffleboard court and lots of bedrooms!
