The new one. Dune House opened on March 3, 2026 in the old One Ocean building, 193 rooms on the sand at Atlantic Beach, with a spa and Coastal Farmer downstairs.
It's too new for AAA or Forbes, so we can't hand it a rating. We can tell you the fees: $30 a night plus tax for the destination amenity fee, and $35 a night to park.
It's the liveliest beach town of the lot, and it says nothing about the ship.
Book the car.
Book it if
- Couples who want a beach town, not a resort compound
- Dog owners
- Anyone curious about the newest hotel on the beaches
Look elsewhere if
- You want a proven rating before you pay splurge prices.
- You want the fees folded into the rate.
What you’re paying for, and what you’re not
A splurge is worth it when you know exactly what the extra money buys. Green is on offer, gold comes with a cost or a catch, and grey isn’t there or isn’t stated.
