The master bedroom features a king size bed with full size private bathroom! Wake up to the sights and sounds of the waves and the beach. Walk out the patio door from the master and lounge in the shaded hammock!
The second king bedroom and third king bedroom are conveniently located just off the living room. They share a Jack-n-Jill full-size bathroom with plenty of space!
The double-queen bedroom and 4-twins bedroom are located just down the hallway. A full-size bathroom is located just across the hall from the guest rooms for convenient access!
The kitchen-living-dining area features an open-play layout, with endless views of the Gulf of Mexico. You'll find a fully-stocked kitchen, large kitchen island and dining table, as well as a plush wraparound sofa with large flat-screen TV - great for movie night!
The gulf-view deck runs the entire length of the house, with lounge chairs, sitting chairs, hammock, and a large dining table for family meals in the shade! There's nothing better than kicking back with the family after fun in the sun and enjoying a nap or snacks and drinks in the shade!
Underneath the home, you'll find a nicely shaded area with beach gear, sitting table, lounge chairs, beach gear, enclosed outdoor shower, and a grilling area! From here, the wooden walkway leads out to the beach, allowing for easy access to beach or home with just a couple steps at the beach end!
"Longshore" also provides 4 Beach Cruiser Bikes, included with your stay! These super-comfy bikes are great for exploring Scenic 30A - at the end of your driveway, you'll find miles and miles of paved pathway winding through little beach towns - an easy and enjoyable bike ride for the whole family!
The Dune Allen Beach area is one of the best on 30A. Only moderately developed, and a local "go-to" spot, the beaches are less crowded, and the pace of life is slower. In addition, you've still got multiple options for shopping and dining within a mile of the home - if you're feeling adventurous, you can even paddle to one of the restaurants directly from your private dock! Destin, Sandestin, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, Seaside, and the Silver Sands Premium Outlet Malls are all just a few minutes drive time away.
*We always try to keep some beach items (chairs, umbrella, toys, floaties) at the property for your use. While these are not guaranteed, there’s usually a good stock of items available. We do not provide beach towels. Please plan on bringing some with you, or purchase locally (inexpensive ones available at nearby stores).
***Please Note: You must be at least 25 years of age to book Longshore. College-age spring break groups are not permitted, regardless of chaperone.***

It was truly PERFECT! Perfect location, home, and hosts. Kim and Andy were helpful from the start - we’re already planning on when to come again!
THANK YOU!!
This is home is beautifully decorated, has plenty of room for 3 couples and up to 8 children. We had a group of 11 and it was great. The kitchen is well stocked. The porch is super with plenty of chairs a hammock and a dining table. The outdoor shower is super and just steps to the beach which is not overcrowded. We loved it! Karla Cain
The family loved the deck with 8 Adirondack chairs, large table and hammock. It is where we started and ended our day. All the beds were comfortable and the great room was well furnished. Everyone looks forward to returning some day.
This property met or exceeded all my expectations. The kitchen is very well stocked and organized, the open floor plan is great for socializing, the beds are comfortable and they had lots of beach gear. We spent the majority of our time on the covered deck talking and gazing at the beach. Also, the property management team was very responsive and great to work with.
Has been our favorite home on 30A for many years. The most well-stocked kitchen - great pots, pans, knives, baking sheets, glasses, blenders, etc etc. Beds are super comfy. Best porch on the beach. We even had rainy weather and had a ball. "Coffee River" broke through like we've never seen before. Love this house, and the new ownership is wonderful.
While we had normally booked properties further East on 30A (Seagrove Beach area), this location was only a 20-30 minute drive to get to Seaside and Watercolor shopping. This property was perfect for our party of 6 adults. The location cannot be beat: right on the beach with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico. The kitchen provided everything we would want to cook our meals as well as blend our frozen drinks. The back patio was the perfect place to relax in the Gulf breeze. Stinky's Fish Camp (great restaurant & bar with live music) is just a short walk down 30A. We would definitely book again without hesitation.
My family and I had a wonderful time at Longshore! There were 9 of us there ages 6-76 and there was more than enough room for everyone to hang out together. The couches and chairs were spacious, the dining table sat 10, 8 Adirondack chairs on the balcony along with a dining table and 6 chairs. We had a grandparent that can’t do stairs and the ramps were great for her!The location was perfect, we walked to Stinky’s fish camp, and it was a quick bike ride to the downtown area. The beach was beautiful in front of the house, and it was never really crowded. We spent lots of time out on the giant covered deck. My kids loved the paddle board that was included and the 4 included bikes. Kim & Andy are great owners! We had a minor issue the first day, and Andy came over and fixed it. I highly recommend this house, and hope to be back again next year!
We have been taking our family of 14 to the beach for the past 10 years. This trip was the best so far. The home is beautiful with lots of room for adults and children. Amenities exceeded our expectations. While we were used to staying on a private beach, we were concerned about not having a chair/umbrella service. This home is in a low traffic area and you’re allowed tents and umbrellas of your own. We had much more space and the family time was amazing!! Thank you for the wonderful memories.
There is SO MUCH perfection at Longshore!!! Ideal for large gatherings. Literally EVERYTHING you might need or want, even things you wouldn’t think of, for a PERFECT, relaxing good time. Too many to list!!! If you can think of it, it’s there!! We have stayed at several homes on 30A through the years in the same area and were always dissatisfied. You will not be dissatisfied at Longshore!! We will be booking Longshore for all future annual Florida family get togethers. Thanks Kim and Andy for all the considerations you put into the Beach House.
The house is very nice. The patio is the best part of the house, it’s very spacious with lots chairs to relax and enjoy the beach view. It also has dining table with chairs . There is one important thing everyone needs to know. The hygiene items ( shampoo, shower gel, etc, )are hotel size, enough just for one use. The kitchen is very well equipped. But there is absolutely nothing available for cooking, not even salt, pepper, spices, cooking oil. You have to buy everything if you plan to cook. It was very inconvenient for us, as we had a big family. Just make a list ahead of time what you will need for cooking. My suggestion is to do a drive up from Walmart. The manager/ owner says there is usually stuff left over from previous owners. But for us it was empty, nada. My guess that cleaning people might take or throw everything. The owners need to figure it out. Oh, and there are no beach towels as well.

Public beach! Not private!
They advertise that the house is on a private beach (like most houses on dune Allen) but it’s very much a public beach. The public access is right next to the house! So you have ppl walking on a public boardwalk right next to yours all day. It’s public beach everywhere in front of the house and down some. This makes it extremely hard to find a company that will set your chairs/ umbrellas up because it’s not private!
They also did not tell us that major construction was going on next door so we got woken up every morning by 7! We also couldn’t enjoy the nice patio on back because it was so loud you couldn’t carry on a conversation with someone sitting next to you. Very unhappy to have spent $9000 for a public beach and construction from 7am- 5 pm.
Loved the place! Perfect for a great family beach getaway with prime location on 30A. You walk out the back door and the private access straight to the beach. Beautiful home with everything you need.
