Absolutely perfect for families in every way! Super close to the beach! The pool was great for my little girl and the deck was beautiful for stargazing! I never wanted to leave!
EXCELLENT … That’s what I have to say about our stay at Dune Drive!! The house was perfect for us (5 adults, 2 kids & 2 older dogs) for our visit to the gulf! The kitchen was Well equipped and the beds (& foldouts) slept really well & everything was really nice & clean! We really enjoyed having the pool “on site” for the grands. The older dogs took full advantage of the fenced in yard as well as “sun bathing” around the pool deck. We will certainly book this place again as it was so close to the beach (with lifeguards). The host was super friendly & easy to work with & quick to reply!!
It’s was a wonderful location for what we were hoping for. A perfect backyard for our dogs to freely run , with a charming pool. Space big enough for our family of four to be comfortable and a well stocked kitchen. We had a wonderful stay!
The location was excellent. Beach is within walking distance. The house is older & could use some maintenance & upgrades but overall it met our needs. The house is spacious & the grandkids loved the pool. Kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary appliances and kitchenware. I would recommend bringing your own extra blankets & beach towels.
Wonderful stay, comfortable house, nice pool & fenced yard for our dog, short walk to the beach and good seafood restaurant.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The house wasn't to bad, there was few things that there were issues. Door knob back door was broken pool was out dated which isn’t the problem, it seemed not to filter to great, constantly cloudy. For the price; not bad
We really enjoyed staying here. Being walking distance from the beautiful beach was incredible. The large space easily accommodated my family of six adults and a plus one. Loved the fenced in back yard which allowed us to bring our dog along. The swimming pool was very nice to have while relaxing at the house. Overall great stay!
Property was awesome, nice clean pool the grand kids and the grown kids loved! Property is a little dated compared to the million dollar houses around it but we would stay again in a heart beat!! Hopefully can rent it next year! If you have a chance to stay here don’t pass it up for the higher priced flashy ones!
I have never stayed in a VRBO that I did not have to buy pots or pans to cook with. This house was fully equipped. They had two dog beds and even had water bowls and food bowls out for me. I didn’t worry about my dogs or the family. I will definitely stay at this place again and I do recommend it.
Great location for this property and it was such a nice home, and not your typical beach home! The home was very private but close to everything. This home had everything you need if you didn't want to leave during your stay - very private pool/grill area and the kitchen had everything you need.
Nice quiet neighborhood. Walk to beach was definitely NOT 4 minutes, but manageable and easy. Suggestions for improvement: additional/upgraded locks on doors to exterior. There were four entrances into home and deadbolts seemed pretty worn.
The property is incredibly close to the beach. The owner has a beach wagon which helps for carrying items to the beach. If you need chairs or an umbrella for the beach, you can pay for chairs or an umbrella at a rate of 70 per day, or you can pick them up from Walmart for cheaper and carry them to the beach. Great neighborhood, not the crazy tourist trap that Destin is. Stores for groceries are close by, great restaurants are within walking distance. The pool is nice; bring bug spray to avoid the mosquitoes. The host is super responsive, and helpful. If you love the Emerald coast and want to avoid the nonsense of Destin, this is a great area to stay.
We arrived earlier than expected and the owner granted us an early check-in, which was really great. There were 5 of us plus our dog and there was more than enough room for all of us. The house was clean and the pool stayed clean all week. Just a short walk to the beach and the owners conveniently had two wagons to pull our stuff in, which was great. There is a public access point to the beach very close too, with lifeguards and beach assistants. The water was really nice all week. I would definitely recommend this property to any family going to Santa Rosa Beach.
Home was clean and had everything we could possibly need to make our stay wonderful. Even had boogie boards for kids to use at beach. They loved that. Also loved having a private pool and cookout area. It was enjoyed by all.
Only complaints were a minor issue with the access code and a full load of towels left in washer for us to dry and fold However I believe that was due to a recent management change and not recurring issues. I highly recommend this type of vacation stay over hotels.
When staying at any Vrbo you have pros and cons. The pros outweigh the cons for this property. Yes it’s a little outdated and needs a little TLC however it was more than fully equipped with just about everything one might need. Yes the pool is a little on the smaller side but it worked and was a nice choice to hangout in when one gets worn out at the beach It’s actually closer than it appears and the location is perfect! It was a smooth check in and check out. Very quiet and gorgeous neighborhood with the walk to the beach that has a public restrooms and outdoor showers are only a couple blocks away. There are a few restaurants within walking distance and anything else just a couple miles away. I’d definitely recommend this property.
We really enjoyed our stay at Dune Dr. It is less than 5 min walk to the beach and less than 2 min with a golf cart. Beach Access provides bathrooms and outdoor showers to rinse off before heading back to your stay. This property is close to the local favorite Stinkys restaurant which is in walking distance as well. The private pool was clean and great for when we weren’t at the beach. We’ve stayed here before and at another property in this neighborhood and really just love this location and the vibe along 30A. The only drawback to this time staying here is the grill is not in working order, the drip pan is nonexistent and the grill is pretty rusted out. Appears the entire grill should be replaced and looking back through other reviews it looks like has been like this for awhile. We love to grill out during our family vacations so that was the only disappointment. Other than that everything else was great.
We selected this home specifically for the private pool. Upon arrival the pool was non-operational, dirty/cloudy. We immediately reported and no action was taken until after 3:00pm on the day before we left. They sent a pool cleaner which didn’t make much change. Since leaving we requested compensation since the rate was based on amenities and have been ignored by the owner. Would not recommend.
The highlight is location - close to gorgeous public beach in interesting neighborhood - old Florida houses mixed with newer ones. Lots of construction.Later in the year might be better. Couldn’t use the pool because it’s not heated. The yard needs landscaping but that might be better later. The grass is bare and there aren’t enough bushes and trees to block out construction next-door and neighbors, etc. The top of a dead tree fell off during a storm. The air conditioning does not work well for a two floor house but might work better in summer months.cleanliness mostly has to do with maintenance issues. Closet doors are falling off and there was limited equipment to use inside the house for cleaning. The Swiffer had no pads, the mop was disintegrating, and the only broom was an outdoor broom. There were vacuum cleaners.Check-in was complicated by the fact that the owner got our arrival date wrong but they had previously generously agreed to let us stay an extra night at the end so from our perspective that was a wash. No written instructions on garbage pick up, pool and lawn care schedule etc. owner always responded promptly.
