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.

We had such a beautiful experience at this beach house. The space was clean, cozy & set up for relaxation and our family. You can feel how much care went into this property, from the comfortable beds to the thoughtful nature field guide books tucked into the drawers. The location was ideal. A short walk to the beach with plenty of local charm nearby. We loved sitting outside watching the water and wildlife change throughout the day. Communicating with the host was easy and friendly. Everything went smoothly from check in to check out. It felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again. Our 4 year old daughter and 2 year old granddaughter loved playing in the sand in the backyard. I hope we get to stay here again on our annual family fall break. It was such a lovely experience!
