Great locationThoughtful gift basket
JodieAustraliaLovely space to unwind and relax. Easy, short walk to dog beach and just an enjoyable stay.
Location to beach was perfect.
Space, both inside and out was terrific.
Not a ‘dislike’ but would be great if there was a shaded space out the front to sit out and enjoy.
Would also be terrific if the fridge was in the…
AlexandraAustraliaWould definitely recommend this property, we hope to return.
Great location, very clean and comfortable. Lots of things for kids at the property (toys, books, movies etc.) very handy.
Communication with owner very good.
MorrisonAustraliaVery comfortable house with everything we needed. We appreciated the gifts left to welcome us. Also it was good not to ha e to take bed linen and towels.
No complaints at all.

Questions about The Dunes Beach House
What time is check-in and check-out at The Dunes Beach House?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Dunes Beach House allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Dunes Beach House?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Dunes Beach House have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Dunes Beach House?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
