Lost Dunes Cottages in Gulf Shores, Alabama, is a great community with 4-bedroom cottages right across the street from the beach. This small cottage community has two outdoor pools and a hot tub.
Lost Dunes Cottages
Each of the four bedroom cottages in Lost Dunes Cottages has covered parking under the cottage. This is a huge benefit especially in the summer when the sun is blaring and car seats get crazy hot.
Beach access is right across the street at the 10th Street beach access. The two outdoor pools have lounge chairs next to them so you can take a break and relax tucked away in the cottage community.
The individual cottages I have toured have been gorgeous! High-end amenities, comfortable seating, cute bedrooms, and space for the entire family to relax and have a great Gulf Shores beach vacation.
