Clubhouse Availability and Rental

The Dune Acres Clubhouse is a three-story, Bungalow/American Craftsman-style building, constructed in 1925. It was the first permanent structure built in Dune Acres and, since then, has been the social center of the community. The Clubhouse grounds are open for the enjoyment of Town residents each day from sunrise to sunset, weather permitting. For the 2017 summer season (May 1st through Labor Day), the Clubhouse itself will be open each Wednesday from 4:30 pm until sunset. The Town encourages residents and their guests to enjoy the sunset, have picnics or dinners, with access to toilet and kitchen facilities. An adult resident must be present at all times in instances where minors are utilizing the site.

Clubhouse Directions

The Clubhouse is located at 1 Clubhouse Drive in Dune Acres. To reach the building, travel north on Mineral Springs Road from Route 12. Clubhouse Drive is the second right turn after passing the security office. Continue along the winding road to the top of the dune. Parking is available in front of the building, with additional spaces overlooking the lake.

Clubhouse Workspace

The Clubhouse is available to be used as a professional workspace by Dune Acres Residents only for a modest monthly fee. For additional information, contact the Clubhouse rental coordinator. You may download and review the required user agreement here.

In the past, we filled many of the available weekends, so let me know your preferences as you make plans. First come, first choices, etc.

Since our clubhouse is a non-profit, town facility which the Town maintains and keeps available for all of us to use, our overall requirement is that people put everything back the way it was before their event. There is no regular "staff"—it’s just me and other residents who volunteer time to make this work.

So thank you for reading. If you have questions, please call me.
