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. During the 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 invited guests to enjoy the grounds and building, with access to bathrooms. An adult resident must be present at all times in instances where minors are utilizing the site and the building.

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.

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.
