Hidden Dunes -1st Floor - Pickleball, Private Beach, Pools, Gated, Sunshine!

SWIM, SURF, SUN, FUN at a private FIRST FLOOR 'Carolina style Cottage' in Hidden Dunes Beach and Tennis Resort. This lushly landscaped 27 acre GATED COMMUNITY is right on the sugary white beach of the Emerald Coast and offers privacy as well as numerous amenities and activities.

Hidden Dunes is just a half mile east of the Silver Sands Factory Stores Outlet Mall and just minutes from both the Destin Commons shopping complex and Baytowne Village. The well known Sandestin golf course is less than a mile from the cottage. Numerous restaurants and recreational opportunities are very close.

The quaint towns of Seaside and Watercolor along 30a are just minutes east. The largest of 3 SWIMMING POOLS and the JACUZZIS are only steps from the cottage door and the TENNIS and PICKLEBALL COURTS are a short stroll away right on the Hidden Dunes property.

You can RELAX and SOAK by the heated POOL (seasonal). There are BASKETBALL courts, HORSESHOE courts, and a small playground on the resort property. STROLL the scenic fountain lined path on the way to the BEACH -- the walk to the beach is short, but should you want to drive, there are parking spots right at the boardwalk and beach entrance. There is a pet boarding kennel close by, off the property -- DOG DAYS KENNELS, for those with pets who travel. The resort does NOT allow guest pets due to liability and insurance.

This cottage has all the comforts and amenities of home while providing an exotic Florida RETREAT. Experience comfortable living with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, nine foot ceilings, a washer and dryer, and a LANAI with an outdoor bar, table, and stools. The SPACIOUS master bedroom provides all the privacy with your own DUAL SHOWER while the second bedroom offers the comfort of a private hallway and space with a queen-size bed and full bath. Free WIFI throughout the cottage and resort.

This retreat sleeps a total of 4 people comfortably. The clean, open kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials you'll need to prepare everything from a light snack to a gourmet meal.

Please note: The $200 administrative fee is a returnable deposit that comes back to you following your stay, usually within 2 weeks after the property is assessed upon your departure.

Stay at Hidden Dunes
Nice place, a little inconvenient for the beach for older guests. Main complaints: king size bed mattress in poor condition , and pillows need to be updated. Lots of palmetto bugs, both dead and alive inside cottage. Got to be too much. Owner is very informative and responsive.

We were THRILLED with our stay at Hidden Dunes! The condo was gorgeous and comfortable and had everything we have ever needed and more. The proximity to the beach was great and the walk was beautiful! We enjoyed the lake, the pools, and the grounds so much. Already counting the days to our next visit!

WONDERFUL STAY
We had a wonderful week at our cottage in Hidden Dunes. The two bedroom /2 bathroom cottage was a perfect size. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was clean and had all the necessary cooking supplies. Hidden Dunes has two easily accessible pools, one which is heated. Each had a hot tub. Our girls enjoyed both. The walk to the beach was easy and about 7 mins (even with a child). The beach access and private beach area was large with plenty of seating. They do set up their own property chairs and umbrellas, but there is still plenty of open space for your own as well. The only issue we ran into was the lock box not working. However, this was addressed within minutes. Communication with the owner and staff was easy. We appreciated the owners quick responses and helpful information packet. All and all we had a perfect family vacation. We will definitely be returning!

Wonderful time!
My family & I came down & it was an amazing time!! The pools were beautiful & clean! The ocean was amazing, about a 5-8 minute walk. The ocean was as beautiful as the pictures! Check - in process was super easy & Doug was able to let us check in an hour earlier. There were beach chairs at the condo that we were able to use! The security at hidden dunes were super nice! Downfall about the beach - SOO many chairs set up waiting for people to rent. If you bring your own umbrella, you have to sit behind the first row of green chairs. The condo could have been a bit cleaner - hair on the bathroom floor, ripped underwear in the bedroom trash & the screened in porch smelt a bit like mold when it rained. I asked the owner if they supplied paper products & he said yes - there was only 3 rolls of toilet paper & 1 paper towel for the whole week. Another HUGE downfall which wasn't the owners fault at all was that the people upstairs WERE SO LOUD! It sounded like they were stomping around like dinosaurs! We had some issues with the toilet (kept running & wouldn't shut off) & the kitchen sink was difficult to turn off (you would turn the knob off & it would still leak water) Overall it was a pretty amazing trip :)

Sad to leave
Sweet little cottage for a great vacation! Loved the screened in porch for meals - cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable. We loved the master shower after a day at the beach! Only drawback is the distance from the beach - beautiful walkways and boardwalk to get to the beach but we didn’t use the chair and umbrella rental service (To save some money) so it was work to get there - you can drive closer but parking was limited with the number of people who were there. The property owner, Doug, was amazing to work with - very responsive to emails/texts. Would love to stay next year!!
