Great location to the beach! Just steps away!! We loved the gated entrance to the condo as well as the beach, which limits beachgoers and prevents overcrowding compared to public beach access points. You cannot see the ocean from the condo, but that was not a dealbreaker for us at all. The condo was very nice, renovated, & clean. Would certainly return for another stay!!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location and easy beach access, as well as the added privacy of the gated entrance. It’s wonderful to know the condo met your expectations in terms of cleanliness and recent updates, and that the lack of an ocean view didn’t take away from your experience. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back for another visit in the future!

Great location, friendly and responsive management company

I will book here again, the location was excellent and the unit was very well appointed. The only issue was some dust build up on the ceiling fans, which the management company acknowledged.

Great Location

No beach view behind the dunes, but on the beach with easy access. Close enough to bike to restaurants. Unit and facility not pristine, but somewhat dated and rusty. Overall nice stay as on the beach was what we were needing.

Hi Brenda, thank you for staying with us in Dune Thyme! We are sorry you were not 100% pleased with the facility, but very happy to hear the beach is just what the doctor ordered! I will make sure to notify our team to do an extra inspection of our unit particularly so we can be sure nothing needs extra attention. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back to the beach for your next getaway! ~ The 30A Cottages Family

Exceptional Property

Exceptional property. Beach was beautiful, clean, and easily accessible from the condo. The unit was great - The kitchen had everything you would want for your stay, the bedrooms were spacious and the property was safe. Location was perfect - short bike ride to good restaurants (Shunk Gulley, etc.), coffee, shops, and ice cream, and a short car ride to grocery stores and other restaurants. Highly recommend the property.

Great family get away!

Renting was easy. My family rented four 1st floor condos and Dune Tyme was the favorite. For dinner we would all meet at our condo- it was perfect for entertaining. 2 negatives- the washers and dryer were extremely small. The condos only have enough parking for 1 car per condo and you have to find your own overnight parking for extra cars.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Dune Thyme is a beautifully renovated condo in one of the original condo buildings in the area, built well before the area saw an increase in rental traffic. Parking and large laundry areas were definitely not something considered during this time. Call us the next time you visit for your repeat guest discount.

Cozy Condo

This beautiful condo fit seven adults and three children very comfortably! It’s steps away from the beach. The newly renovated home is stunning, owners did great. The only problem we had was some days we weren’t able to park in the parking because other tenants used more than two parking spaces. Other than that, it was great! Bikes were a bonus as well.

lovely gulf front unit

Our family enjoyed a fun, refreshing stay in this freshly renovated condo. Located on the ground floor, it provided a perfect home base for our days by the sea. Our family has enjoyed staying at The Palms for many years, and appreciate the low-key, gulf front accommodations it offers as well as a rare, uncrowded stretch of beautiful beachfront. The drawbacks to this particular unit are that it comes with only one parking space, is considerably more expensively priced than other units, and the management company could have been more responsive to an issue we had with the wi-fi connection while working remotely. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Dune Thyme.

Last Minute Getaway…. Perfect Place on the Beach

We really loved Dune Thyme. The photos and description were exactly as noted. Prettier in person. It was clean and fully equipped for anything we needed. Until 103 is on the bottom floor and normally we are concerned about noise, but pleasantly surprised no noise from renters above us and no noise from other neighbors. The king bed in the master was just yummy. We slept so well. We didn’t have a view of the gulf due to the foliage/berm, but we knew that going in. But we could hear the ocean. Very relaxing. We were only steps from the stairs to the beach. SO convenient! Literally less than 1 min walk from our chairs to the unit. The unit is in the heart of Santa Rosa… 1/2 mile from Stinkey’s and 1/4 mile from Shunk Gulley and great shopping. We didn’t use the bikes provided, but they are included. We also LOVED the security of the Palms on Dune Allen. We had security codes for everything. Most of all, we felt at home and we will be back to this unit again. Hopefully sooner than later! Thanks for helping us relax and make great memories.

Great condo

This is a clean and new condo that was stocked and furnished almost the best I have seen. Very thoughtfully appointed by the owners. We appreciated the quality bed linens and mattresses, great patio furniture, and kitchen supplies. We could not believe there was only a single serve coffee machine! We had to buy one for the tired parents in our group. Also it would have been nice to know they don't have cable as we planned to watch a lot of football. Other than those 2 things, this place was fantastic.
