About this property

Renovated Gulf Front Home with Private Beach, 4 Bikes, and Stunning Views

Welcome to Dune Allen Delight. The renovations are complete, and we are excited for you to enjoy all the updates.

This home offers an open floor plan with walls of windows to enjoy the breathtaking views as you enjoy your time relaxing with your crew. An open kitchen allows for casual dining while the living room offers a sofa and Roku TV for all your entertainment needs. All bedrooms are on the main floor as well as two full, shared bathrooms. The home is ideally set up for two families to enjoy, with each family having their own wing of the home for sleeping. Each wing of the home can also be shut off for additional privacy.

Climb the elegant spiral staircase and enjoy the top floor lounge with doors leading out to another sunny balcony. A second living area on this top level includes a queen sleeper sofa, a TV, powder room and a charming built-in bar.

Dune Allen Delight is located close to shopping and dining while offering the peaceful solitude of a Gulf front home in Dune Allen. Truly the best of both worlds!

Location can’t be beat!

Great location right on the beach and only minutes away from fabulous restaurants and shopping. The downside is the house is very outdated and the carpet in the bedrooms needs to be replaced. We had a wonderful time in Santa Rosa but would not stay here again unless the price was greatly reduced.

Very Disappointing-Overpriced

We have used VRBO many times to book vacation rentals and we have never been so disappointed with the property. I could not wait to leave. To begin with, the pictures posted on the VRBO listing are either very old or heavily edited. The property does not look like that in person. It is very dated inside with formica countertops that are warped, laminate flooring that has huge gaps, lights that don't work, HVAC vents and returns that are filthy, disgusting carpets with pet stains, and roaches. To make it worse, the house only had 1 toilet paper roll per bathroom and 2 trash bags. The blinds were broken in all of the rooms and the exterior doors were in poor shape. The grill was dirty and had not been cleaned. The entire property was not properly cleaned in years. The only good thing was the location being on the beach but it was not worth what we spent. I would not recommend this property to anybody. If you need proof, contact me and I will send you pictures.

Family Vacation 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this home last year and it was great. However this year, we got there at check-in time and still had to wait because they were still cleaning and it was already a late check-in of 5pm. The carpets were soaking wait because they had them cleaned that day. There was no can opener. No tea pitchers, The coffee pot was a single keurig. We bought a coffee pot. The trash was not picked up from prior guests, but management did take care of that for us. Overall a good stay, but for the price , you would expect the home to be better equipped.

Best Beach Vacay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing vacation staying at Dune Allen Delight. The beach was incredible with clear water and white sand. The house is just steps from the water so it was easy to store chairs and canopies at night. The house is clean and spacious with comfortable furniture. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the back porch. Our adult children enjoyed the bikes and proximity to shopping and restaurants. The only issue we found with the house is the stairs from the top porch to the beach. They are very steep and get slippery when sandy and wet. I would be worried if I had small children going up and down the stairs.

Great family vacay

Exclusive 30A was excellent to work with from booking to checkin and checkout. Very response to any questions we had. House is in a perfect location on 30A with gorgeous sunrise and sunset views! House set up would be perfect for multiple families, although it was just the 3 of us. House is a little dated but well stocked and has working appliances. Some lamps and room lightbulbs were blown which should have been replaced prior to our arrival. The back porch dead bolt lock was very loose and managed to lock itself a couple times and locked us out once and needs to be replaced. Overall a great stay and worth the last minute price but not sure I’d pay prime rates for this one, and consider finding another house that’s more updated.

Amazing location with unmatched beach access and views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed at this wonderful home for a long weekend with 3 others. The pictures will never be able to adequately show or help you visualize the views you will have right out your door. We walked down the stairs and sat on the beach (on the chairs that stay at this home) at sunset for an hour one night and it was a night I won't soon forget! The location has a great balance of access to 30-A essentials (like food, beaches, activities) while minimizing crowds and providing a private getaway. The beaches were not crowded at all during the day and we were able to walk right in two two restaurants within walking or bike riding distance each night. This location would be a great spot for a family or group of friends to come and experience 30-A!

Great Location, Charming Home!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this rental is about as good as it gets. You're backyard is the beach. No lugging stuff on a long walk to the beach with this home. Walk down the private stairs from the private balcony and your practically in the ocean. This is a great home for families with little kids as the location is incredibly convenient. Sunsets are amazing from the deck. The home itself is very charming and its layout brings the family together. Plenty of living space downstairs and even an upstairs loft with a bar for entertaining. Each side of the house has a pair of bedrooms so the home is also good for 2 families vacationing together. This home provides an incredible backdrop for pictures and memories. I will definitely be bringing my family back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Took a last minute trip with my dog and was lucky to stay in this home. The location is unparalleled. I was able to work remotely with no wifi issues, which I found to be a bonus as many homes I've stayed in the past have slow wifi. When I wasn't working, I was on the beach or on the huge balcony reading and relaxing. My sweet pup loved sitting on the balcony with me. I did attempt a bike ride, which was the first I've done in many many years. Cannot wait to come back!

Good layout with a central living space and separate bedrooms. The gigantic patio was a huge plus. The upstairs loft area is super cute for a workspace. Street is quiet and we didn't hear any neighbors.
