M&M Dune Cottage is a vintage, 1930's Sheridan Beach original. So, if you're looking for a place with character and can live with all of the rough edges that come with staying in a 80+ year old cottage built on sand, we're the perfect choice for your fun in the sun!

Simply, walk out your front door to step onto the sand path. It leads to the world's most beautiful beach - Sheridan Beach!

Important Note:
Like all area cottages, M&M Dune Cottage is separated from the lake by a naturally created, government protected dune. The pathways over the dune are marked & continually managed to keep their heights as low as possible. This season, there are ‘easy’ board-walk mats placed out on two of the three beach paths adjacent to the cottage. There's a flat boardwalk in Washington Park.

Please remember to read all beach cautions (especially about riptides) and supervise children. Thank you!

• We’ve extended the work hours of our 5 Star Housekeeping team to provide the additional time necessary to perform enhanced cleaning procedures.
