Escape the crowds & make La Casita your next beach vacation destination! The Space: La Casita (unit E) is the ideal beach cottage for your next beach vacation to Gulf Shores and the Alabama Gulf Coast. La Casita is located in one of the area’s newest beach developments, Cottages at Dunes Park, located just one-mile east of The Hangout. Built in 2023, it is the last development before entering the Gulf State Park, which is protected from future development. Cottages at Dunes Park is surrounded by the Gulf State Park to the north, south, and east. Once in this coastal community, La Casita (unit E) is 5th cottage on the left. Located on the back, west side, La Casita sits directly across from the community pool and offers one-of-a-kind, amazing views of the State Park wildlife preserve. With only 10 cottages in the entire development and being located next to the State Park, the beach and pool will never be as crowded as you will find with a high-density condo complex. While secluded, you are just steps from the beach (directly across the street) and walking distance to Gulf Shores shopping, dining, and entertainment. No details have been overlooked in this fantastic beachside cottage. La Casita features shiplap walls, ceramic tile floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, marble tile showers, covered parking and an outdoor shower. At 1500 sq. feet, this cottage offers all of the luxuries you should expect from a premier beach vacation rental. This two-bedroom, three full-bath beach cottage has all you will need for the perfect beach getaway. The main level includes the living area, kitchen, dining area, and full bath.

The living area has direct access to the spacious outdoor balcony where you may enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee while gazing over the pool, wildlife preserve, and Lake Shelby. Located on the second level, the master bedroom offers a king-sized bed and private bathroom. The master bath features a double granite vanity and walk-in shower.

Guest Access: Pool and beach access are just steps away from lovely beach cottage. The Neighborhood: La Casita is located within walking distance or a very short driving distance to many of our fantastic dining venues, shopping, grocery stores, entertainment, putt-putt, waterpark, arcade, and much more. \*Easy Beach Access across the Street \*Outdoor Pool \*Covered Parking \*Short Walk to Gulf State Park Pier and Trails Other Things to Note: Beach access is across the street to the west about 100'. It is about a 2 minute walk to get to the beach from the home. This home does require ability to navigate stairs. While this development is directly across from the beach, there are 4 other cottages between La Casita and the beach so there is no beach view. But we do offer a beautiful & unique view of the Gulf State Park wildlife preserve and pool. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Shower - Towels provided ### Entertainment - TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102120000/102117900/102117851/4d6ddf19.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lovely Gulf retreat with pool & stunning balcony views - walk to beaches & pier Gulf Shores - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-07&endDate=2025-11-08&selected=102117851&PinnedHotelID=102117851&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![On the beach, white sand, free beach shuttle](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83450000/83444200/83444117/4af03892.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Cabins at Gulf State Park Gulf Shores - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 53 reviews CA $311 CA $653 total includes taxes & fees Nov 1 - Nov 2 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-01&endDate=2025-11-02&selected=83444117&PinnedHotelID=83444117&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83120000/83117000/83116992/6e24c6e2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Direct views Gulf Park Cottages at Dunes Park #F Gulf Shores - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 49 reviews CA $315 CA $1,228 total includes taxes & fees Nov 6 - Nov 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-06&endDate=2025-11-07&selected=83116992&PinnedHotelID=83116992&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99520000/99519400/99519355/9cecf240.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming Cottage w/Gulf View, Beach Access & Pool Gulf Shores - Ocean view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-07&endDate=2025-11-08&selected=99519355&PinnedHotelID=99519355&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66920000/66912500/66912483/19b967a2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach House Steps from the Sand | Sleeps 9!
