The Dunes Condos for Sale in Gulf Shores

A short walk to the sand and a quieter stretch of West Beach set The Dunes apart from the high-rise towers closer to Highway 59 in Gulf Shores. Pointe South works this low-density complex regularly and knows how the two-bedroom and three-bedroom floor plans differ once you are inside. Units here generally list in the mid $300,000s to the mid $500,000s depending on size and view. Buyers comparing The Dunes to a tower unit are usually trading elevator lines and crowded pools for fewer neighbors and easier beach access, which is exactly why owners here tend to hold on.

Floor Plans and Price Context

Two bedrooms make up most of what trades here, usually near the lower end of the range and popular with owners who rent seasonally. Three-bedroom units carry more square footage and command the top of the range, particularly when the living area faces the water. Direct Gulf views move price more than almost anything else at The Dunes. That pattern means a buyer willing to accept a side or partial view can often step up a bedroom for the same money.

The Surrounding Neighborhood

West Beach Boulevard runs the length of this stretch, lined with smaller complexes and beach houses rather than the tall towers found east of the Gulf Shores Public Beach. Traffic thins out noticeably once you pass Highway 59. Little Lagoon sits just inland, which gives owners water on both sides and easy access for kayaking and fishing.

Daily Life

Mornings usually start with the boardwalk over the dune line and a beach that stays uncrowded outside peak season. Gulf State Park and its paved trail system are a short drive east. Restaurants and groceries cluster along Highway 59 and West Beach Boulevard, and Gulf Shores Elementary and Gulf Shores High School serve full-time residents in the area.

Pointe South at The Dunes

Choosing between a two-bedroom rental performer and a three-bedroom with a Gulf view is the decision most buyers here face, and Pointe South handles both sides of that comparison at The Dunes and across West Beach.
