Reserving the whole court above takes all 5. Each cottage is also listed on its own — open one to see its photos, calendar and price, and book just that cottage.
Five single-story cabins, one wide covered porch, 3 minutes on foot to Beach Access Point 6.
Sleeps 28 · 11 BR · 7 BA · 5 connected cabins, 1 shared porch and courtyard
Dancing Dunes is five individual cabins joined by one long covered porch and a shared courtyard, designed so a large group can have private space inside each cabin and common ground to gather outside. Each cabin has its own full kitchen, in-unit washer and dryer, central A/C, smart TV, and fast Wi-Fi. The layout suits family reunions, wedding parties, and multi-family trips where everyone wants a door to close at night. Dogs are welcome in every cabin, with dog bowls already on site.
The Cottages
The whole property books 11 bedrooms across five cabins and sleeps up to 28 guests. The Anchor is the largest at three bedrooms, two full baths, a bunk room, and sleeps 8. The Bali and The Rock-n-Roll each offer three bedrooms and one and a half baths for 6 guests apiece. The Fish and The Shell are one-bedroom cabins, each sleeping 4.
Outside
The covered porch runs the full length of the cabins and faces a grassy courtyard with room to spread out. The outdoor kitchen under the palapa includes both gas and charcoal grills, with space in the courtyard for horseshoes and volleyball. Outdoor dining is set up for the whole group, and the large deck area gives everyone a place to sit without crowding.
The setting
Beach Access Point 6 is about a 3-minute walk from the front sidewalk. Groceries, restaurants, and the ferry terminal are a few minutes away by car. The Alister Street shops, bars, and dining in the heart of Old Town, including Shorty's Place, which has anchored the scene since 1946, are an easy golf-cart ride from the property. FINS Grill and Icehouse and Tortuga's Saltwater Grill are among the closest waterfront seafood options.
Golf carts, beach gear, fishing charters, and more can be added directly through the PAVC website when you book.
