Family beach trip
Bonnie’s beach house is very nice. Our favorite part of the house was the front deck. It’s spacious and the furniture accommodated all of our family. The house was very comfortable. The beds were very nice and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the property manager and owner began early. They are quick to answer any questions. I asked a question about the bedroom located in the sun room area and was told that it had been renovated and contained a set of bunk beds. We needed the three beds advertised in the ad so they offered to add an extra air mattress. I then asked about the golf cart rental and where it would be driven to and they explained the beach access and that it was a short distance down the street. That wasn’t made very clear in the ad so Bonnie offered the golf cart to me for a lesser amount. That was appreciated. The ad made the property look like the ocean and beach could be seen from the deck and the beach and that is not the case. The pictures were taken several years ago and now several houses have been built blocking the view. There was a disconnection at the electrical panel and the electric flash on and off but they were quick to send over an electrician and it was fixed that day. Overall our stay was great. The neighbors is very nice and the property managers were readily available and addressed any issues we had.

Amazing
We loved our stay with Bonnie Dunes. The home was immaculately clean and conveniently located close to the beach. We walked a short 2 min path behind the house to a beach path or you have the option to rent a golf cart, kept on site and drive to another beach access point, which is only a 6 minute walk or 2 minute golf cart ride. The AC kept the house extremely cool and was welcome after those hot July beach days. The beds were cozy and comfortable with nice linens. Bonnie Dunes is decorated so perfectly with the beach theme and perfect beach vibe colors. The furniture inside and out are perfect for a large family. We had friends over in the evening for a low country boil and the outdoor furniture was perfect for our crowd. Beach equipment kept in the storage shed truly came in handy as our beach canopy was ruined by the wind and we had a back up option on site. I loved that we could bring our potty trained lab to this dog friendly home. The home was so clean you would never know it’s dog friendly. If you are looking for a great family location for your next trip, book Bonnie Dunes. You won’t regret it.

Fantastic house, but not close to beach access
We had a great stay. The house was perfect for our needs. My mom has some mobility issues and was able to get around without issue. The house is very well kept and has plenty of parking available. The only issue we had was that the beach access is not close to the house. I would say it’s at least 1/2 mile away (total guess), not in walking distance for most people. The listing and previous comments made it seem like the golf cart was included in the rental but be aware that it is a separate rental agreement and additional charge. We ended up renting a 6 person golf cart from another company for the week and it was fine, but there was some confusion regarding this. The other thing to be aware of is that the WiFi is pretty slow. Movies would often pause to buffer and it was difficult to pull up internet info. If someone needed to work from home, there would probably be some issues. It was wonderful having a private pool and being able to bring our pup with us. The communication with lisa the rental manager was so easy and she responded in a timely manner. We were there when a woods fire broke out Less than 2 miles from the house. Lisa even stopped by to let us know that there may be a possibility of having to evacuate but someone would be in touch if that was necessary. Overall, the house is fantastic, communication is great, the neighborhood is peaceful. Just make sure to rent a golf cart for beach access. We would definitely rent again!

Another great stay!
My family (me, hubby, and pre-teen child) stayed at Bonnie Dunes for the second time this Spring break. The house was clean, comfy, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen has very nice appliances, and all the extras you need. We loved snacking and eating breakfast around the large island. The large covered porch was a favorite place to relax and read or drink coffee in the mornings, listening to the birds and waves. The large lot size and trees makes you feel very private even in the middle of a neighborhood. The neighborhood beach never felt too crowded, and when we got tired of sand, it was fabulous to have our own pool to relax and play in! We love this house, and hope to stay again next year!

This property is fantastic. Our family of 5 plus one additional adult were more than comfortable. The more remote location kept us away from the large spring break crowds and allowed us to explore some of the most beautiful private beaches in the area. Jessie's restaurant is must! Be wary of the ferry to Dauphin Island when it breaks down or stops running for the day it is a FULL 2-hour drive back! Everything was perfect, the communication, the accommodations, the neighborhood, and the beach. Highly recommend!

This was the most perfect beach house. I have been to several, and this has been our absolute favorite. We are big cookers & we’re very pleased that we had everything needed at the house. Our favorite being a crockpot :) there is a grill provided, the house was emaculant. Very short walk to the beach with beautiful views from the house as well. Bonnie was amazing & was willing to help accommodate with anything we needed. The porch is amazing & we got to sit outside to enjoy coffee ☕️ I’ve already asked if I can rebook this house before I even checked out for another stay this year. It was cozy & comfortable. We loved that there was also a table as we are big card/dice players :)

Beautiful Home but not near ocean
While this house is beautiful and our stay was nice there is an inaccuracy with the listing and the beach access for this home. The private drive shown in these pictures is not for public use - it’s actually a home owners behind the houses private drive. While we stayed there they were laying concrete and was impossible to access. Unfortunately we had to unexpectedly book a golf cart for the week because our family has two toddlers under three and two grandparents in their late 60s that couldn’t comfortably walk to the beach access daily. The beach access is not close. There’s also been a lot of construction since those pictures were made and the view of the ocean is limited to a small section of the corner back patio.

August get away
We had a wonderful time at the house and the beach. Nice quiet location that we were looking for. House was perfect. The listing needs updated as the view from the deck is not anything like the picture shows as you cannot see the Gulf of Mexico due to all the builds since the picture. Also getting to the beach is not as easy as following the walkway behind the house. The is a road that leads to private property and we were reminded fed daily we were not allowed to walk through the property to the beach. Going to the access location. Is too far of a walk and leads to crowds.

The property was clean, spacious, and decorated very tastefully. The pool may not be large, but it’s big enough for the kids to play, and the adults to be able to relax. The sand in driveway was a nice place for the kids to play. The owners and manager were extremely attentive and quick to respond to any questions from prior to booking through the stay. Great place

We absolutely loved Bonnie Dunes! It was so peaceful and quiet. The house is equipped with everything you could think of. They have a few games, our family ended up playing a game of scrabble on a rainy day and it was a great time. They also had beach chairs, beach toys, a canopy/umbrella, and pool toys. Communication with the property manager was great and check in was a breeze. We will definitely be staying here again!
