Dune's Cottage offers the finest in Southern hospitality. This family sized home was designed on a grand scale with space enough for up to sixteen to spread out comfortably in the main house's five large bedrooms. For larger parties, the carriage house located over the detached garage, will accommodate another 4 guests in its two bedrooms. Located on prestigious Rosemary Avenue, convenient to everything, Dune's Cottage is on the south side of 30-A and just 60 yards from the beach. From the outside, Dune's Cottage exudes antebellum charm with its pillared verandah, multiple French doors that lead to full, wraparound terraces and an intimate courtyard with Moroccan inspired heated and jetted dipping pool. This is a home built on a grand scale with the highest quality finishes, oversized rooms and high ceilings. Inside, the professionally decorated rooms combine the best of traditional charm with contemporary, beach chic.
Custom, high-end furnishings and original artwork create a standard rarely seen in a vacation home that still manages to be very family friendly. Dune's Cottage offers multiple gathering spaces; whether around the kitchen island, the dining table with seating for 12, or the enormous great room accented with wooden beams and a 14 foot tall limestone fireplace. There are also no shortage of quiet, outdoor spaces for guests to spread out, all lit by the warm glow of ten gas lanterns. There is a lavishly furnished 40 foot wide upper porch, directly off the main great room, that functions as an outdoor living/dining room. The rear of the house has a furnished private courtyard with glass tiled waterfall dipping pool, outdoor shower and grill. The ground level also boasts another furnished wrap around stone terrace accented with a bubbling fountain and hanging swing. Recently added is a dramatic, rear sky deck accessed by a spiral staircase, with retractable shade awning and seating for six, that provides panoramic views of Rosemary Beach, star gazing and dramatic sunsets over the gulf of Mexico.
Dunes cottage was thoughtfully laid out specifically for the perfect beach vacation. It has four well-appointed guest rooms on the ground level each with its own television, DVD player and ipod docking station. These are laid out to function as two separate family suites, each with an oversized, slate and tumbled marble bathroom. One of the two, large bunk rooms can also double as a theater/den with its 44 inch flat screen television and play station that will keep the kids happy. The other three bedrooms have king beds. The lofty, open plan main living area with another large screen TV, make up the entire second floor. The second floor also boasts a convenient second entrance with exterior staircase that leads directly down from the deck to the beach boardwalk that leads directly to the beach. The custom kitchen is a cook's dream that includes a professional wolf range, separate ice maker and even a wall mounted "pot filler". The entire third floor contains a luxury master suite, complete with a private balcony, dressing room and enormous bathroom with "rain" shower and jetted tub.
The detached carriage house, which rents separately from the main house, has a full kitchen, cozy sitting area with large plasma TV and separate bedroom with a king bed and another TV. There are two twin beds in an upper open loft. There is a wrap around porch with a view down the street to the gulf. It is perfect for couples or small families.
