After a long Wisconsin winter, I was looking to golf. We booked a week long vacation at Kiva Dunes in Gulf Shores. The accommodations were outstanding. We stayed in one of the new course side condos, A 2br 2bath unit overlooking the 18th fairway. I found the staff to be very friendly, informed, and attentive. We started our 6 round... more

I recently had the opportunity to play Kiva Dunes. Let me first say, "I cannot believe this course is so highly rated". The course was adequate, the greens were slick and the fairways were manicured fairly well, but it does not deserve the accolades it seems to garner. We did however have the opportunity to meet the owner, "Scrappy something... more

It was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. Although not directly on the beach, the ocean was only a short walk down the street. The Kiva private beach is incredible. The water... more

I went there with the golf course in mind and loved it, but my wife is not a golfer and she was thrilled with our vacation too. If you like comfortable elegance, shimmering beaches and golf courses, Southern hospitality and casual culture, great food and fun, then Kiva Dunes is your place as a home base to the area.
