Pickle Ball Court! Beach side of 30A...just steps from the white sand!

Welcome to Our Happy Place! We are part of Dunes Estates, a quiet 12-home development 150 yards from the beach. Centrally located along popular Highway 30-A, this spacious, modern and comfortable beach home is an ideal location to enjoy your beach vacation. It's a short walk to pristine white sandy beaches and blue-green Gulf waters. You are 30 seconds away from the Dunes Estates private pool (heated seasonally) & tennis/pickleball court.

The first floor features a spacious great room with two casual and comfortable seating areas and a BRAND NEW 55” Smart 4K TV. The dining area includes seating for up to 12 people at the large dining table and breakfast bar. The well-equipped kitchen includes a stainless refrigerator with filtered water and ice in the door, dishwasher, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, high speed blender and coffee maker (k-cup AND regular drip). There is also a BRAND NEW washer and dryer available. We provide board games, books and puzzles along with an Alexa Echo Plus speaker for playing your favorite tunes. A covered, well-lit front porch features four Adirondack chairs and tables, ideal for morning coffee and happy hour beverages. There is a bedroom with a king size bed, walk-in closet and full bath on this level as well...great for guests who may not want to climb stairs.

The second floor features two bedrooms: a large primary suite (king) with a full walk-in closet and a large guest suite (also king), each with private full baths and flat screen 40” Smart Roku TVs. These bedrooms open to a large, covered, well-lit deck--a private retreat for relaxed reading, or enjoying your morning coffee with beautiful views while seated in high-top Adirondack chairs.

The third floor comfortably sleeps four with twin size bunks and a matching twin size trundle unit, a full bath and LCD TV. The bedroom opens to an equally large covered terrace with views of the Gulf and table seating for four along with two Adirondack chairs for relaxed seating. The terrace is perfect for entertaining, sunsets, and casual dining.

The parking pad will accommodate a maximum of 3 vehicles (including golf carts). No street parking allowed.

Our Happy Place is dog friendly. With prior approval, house-trained, well behaved and full-grown dogs are welcome (maximum of 2 dogs, no puppies). There are unlimited dog-walking options in the immediate vicinity--the local streets, the beach (permit required), and nearby trails. Walton County dog ordinances and fees are enforced on the beach--please check in advance.

Location and access to the beach matter-- Our Happy Place is an easy and short 2-block walk to the beach. The Gulf waters are ideal for snorkeling, paddle boards, kayaks and body surfing. The beaches are renowned for sugar white, soft sands and are ideal for long, peaceful walks. You will have access to 200 yards of publicly owned beach to lay your towels and chairs. We provide four beach chairs with back straps, two beach umbrellas and various kid’s toys along with a beach-rugged wagon for ease of transport.

Beach vacations are great for outdoor cooking and we provide a Char Broil stainless steel professional series gas grill for your catch or purchase of the day from the local seafood markets or Publix grocery.

Within a 10 minute radius you have unlimited dining options, from casual to elegant. Seaside and Rosemary Beach host farmers markets and seasonal entertainment on the weekends. The Big Chill (formerly The Hub), less than 5 minutes away, has many shops, offers live music and is popular with high school and college aged kids.

Check local calendars--30-A is a festive place, including wine festivals, outdoor movies, 5k, 10K and an annual half-marathon, art exhibits, and more. There are several local health clubs open to the public on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. 30-A and connecting highways offer 30+ miles of paved bike paths so you can walk, run, or bike to many local attractions. Numerous local vendors rent golf carts (licensed and highway legal) for alternative, local transportation.

The many freshwater lakes along 30-A are perfectly suited for paddle boards, kayaks, fishing and birding. A quaint county park on 62-acre Eastern Lake is only 150 yards away. The park has a paved boat ramp and picnic area and allows small motorboats. Deep sea fishing and scuba diving are available in nearby Destin and Panama City Beach.

Scenic Route 30-A:
Our Happy Place is centrally located on 30-A with many popular beach communities just to the east and west: Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, Alys Beach, Grayton Beach, and Watercolor. Deer Lake State Park is two minutes away with several miles of shaded and picturesque hiking trails. Grayton Beach and Camp Helen State Parks, and the 15,000-acre Point Washington State Forest are less than 10 minutes away and boast unlimited hiking, mountain bike trails and other amenities.

Primary renter must be at least 24 years old and must be present at all times. No smoking is allowed inside or outside of the property. There is an exterior security camera. Owner reserves the right to monitor for infractions of the rental agreement.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Hoping for so much more.

The house itself is nice, but it is not furnished with anything remotely new. The beds are incredibly uncomfortable, and most of the corners, cabinets, and areas underneath or behind furniture was full of dust and dirt. For the steep cleaning fee and cost, we were really upset. I brought this up to the host and was told she could have her cleaning people come back. Well, that meant we needed to find somewhere to go while they re-did the clean and we have 2 small kids who just spent 6+ hours in the car. It just wasn’t an option. We ended up cleaning it ourselves. One of the beds was broken, the ice maker never worked, and the washing machine will register on a decibel level that will disturb the dead. There have been prior reviews about many of these things, but the host has done nothing to fix them. Finally, despite our issues, no accommodations were made and the host even tried to charge us for “damage” to the “landscaping” because our golf cart was parked on the edge of the driveway. We received no photos or details about this “damage.” And be warned, there is a 3 vehicle parking rule. We knew this and arranged for off site parking for 2 cars - as the 3 vehicle rule includes golf carts. Even with this, and never once blocking the street during vehicle exchanges or loading, unloading, dinner, it was still a problem for the host and the HOA. Having a house that sleeps 10, but only allowing 2 cars and a golf cart is insane. We will definitely stay somewhere else next year.

The house is in a great location. Can walk to restaurants/coffee/ bike shop and also close to beach! Listing says 4 blocks from beach but it felt more like 2. The house came equipped with many beach toys/chairs, accessories which was helpful. Kitchen is small but functional. Living space is large and great for a big group. The bedrooms all have their own full baths which is a major plus. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Beautiful home short walk to the beach

We loved this house! It was very close to the pool and a few minute walk to the beach. Owner was very responsive with questions and kept us informed when someone was coming for maintenance. They had tons of beach toys and some games/puzzles. I wouldn’t even call it a complaint but maybe something to be aware of, the beach wagon provided was hard to pull on the beach because it had narrow tires. It worked for my husband but I couldn’t pull it myself. Our family had another one with wider tires that was easier. We would still definitely return!

The Happy Place

We really enjoyed our stay at the property. This was a very well maintained, beautiful home. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach. It was not a long walk at all. The pool was also close by. We got a lot of use out of it as the water was closed for swimming at the beach. The neighborhood was quiet most nights. There were plenty of games at the house. We also enjoyed those as we had several bad storms during our stay! Despite the weather, the house made it very enjoyable. I had to contact the property owner about some storm damage and she was very prompt and kind and asked about our well being. It was a great stay. We also enjoyed that we got to being our dogs. It was extremely animal friendly. The heated outdoor shower was also a plus as well!!! Thank you for sharing your Happy Place with us!!! ❤️
