My partner and I just returned from a week stay at the Dunes. It's our favorite guest house in Ft Lauderdale and were very concerned when we found out the property has recently changed hands. The great news is everything has stayed the same plus upgrades to the bedding and towels. We requested room #5 which is a suite overlooking... More

We are enjoying another visit here now and we were surprised to learn that the property recently changed ownership and is seeking a new moniker. We are delighted to find that nothing has changed at our favorite South Florida accomodation. Our spacious studio is pristinely kept, the grounds and pool area are even more lushly landscaped than ever. Ken is... More

I wasn't very comfortable reaching out to a business that has their website down with only an email address and no other information. Glad I did. After exchanging a couple of emails my room was booked and got an excellent price. The place is spotless, rooms are very comfortable, nice swimming pool area and only 3 blocks from the beach....

Where to begin with this place? How about here: FABULOUS! Tucked away a very short walk from the beach, the Dunes Guest House was really "another world". Surrounded by palm trees, totally hidden from the outside, the setting reminded me of St. Marteen. One of the friendliest staffs I've encountered in a long time, and the daily room cleaning, etc....

The Dunes was an oustanding guesthouse! I was very pleased with my recent visit. The Staff was extremely nice and very attentive to details. Rooms were very spacious and super-clean and the grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. The jacuzzi and pool were heated just right and clean. The Dunes provided a great continental breakfast with lots of choices. Staff had... More

My partner and I had a fantastic vacation at The Dunes. We had originally booked our stay at The New Zealand House however they messed up our reservations. We were very disappointed since we are frequent guests at The New Zealand House and had made our reservations two months in advance. So two days before we were to arrive in... More

I am sitting by the pool at The Dunes Guesthouse wondering how I missed this guesthouse as many times as I have visited Ft Lauderdale. The guesthouse where I normally stay could not accommodate me and reccomended The Dunes. I have to say the Dunes price is $75 less per night and the room is larger with wonderful views of... More

Checked-In by 11am- that was nice- however; absoluty no property tour. The guy handed me a key- and said the room is next door. Stayed in Room 3- next to office. Room was basic. Large armoire-contained 3 cheap plastic hangers you'd find at K-Marts. Small TV with a "Symphonic" VCR. Again; from K-Marts. Plus it didn't even work? A/C will... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Dunes because it is quiet and relaxing. I went by myself in search of only relaxation and with only 10 rooms, The Dunes fit the bill. The clientele was mature, 35+, and friendly. Kevin and Derrick are pleasant staff and very helpful when asked a question. I just wish I had known there was... More
