About this property

NEW-Family Friendly, Private Pool, short walk to beach- discount on rental gear!


Welcome to "DoubleDutch30a" – Welcome to your dreamy "Scandi" beach getaway! This modern gem, just a stone's throw from the beach, boasts a larger-than-life private pool, perfect for family fun under the sun. With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, there's room for everyone to relax in style. The unique, whimsical, modern design creates an enchanting atmosphere, where every corner tells a fun story. Your rental will include 6 bikes, a free backpack Koozie cooler, and a discount at a local outfitter for bike, scooter, golf cart and paddle board rentals! Local beach access is a short walk or ride, easy access and deeded to our neighborhood. And all just a short walk from everyone’s favorite restaurant and bar- Stinky’s and Stinky’s Bait Shack!

Step inside to discover a chef's kitchen, fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and sleek countertops, inspiring culinary adventures for all. Large, sliding doors seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, inviting gentle sea breezes and natural light to dance through the space.

After a day of beachcombing and sandcastle building, rinse off in the convenient outdoor shower and bathroom, specially designed for the little ones, while enjoying the pool and outdoor oasis. When hunger strikes, take a short walk to nearby restaurants like Stinkey's or 3 Sons BBQ for a taste of local flavor.

For more adventure, hop on a bike and explore Gulf Place, just a short ride away. With its family-friendly amenities and prime location, this Scandi beach home promises memories to last a lifetime.

Owner managed! - Double Dutch includes 6 bikes, beach chairs, & natural gas grill (no propane tanks here!) included with rental. Discounted rates available with local e-bike, e-scooter, and beach gear rental vendor upon request. Ideally accommodates a party of 12, Double Dutch can stretch to our max occupancy of 14 when the 3rd floor queen sleeper sofa is put to use (linens not provided.)

Fabulous proximity to 2 secluded neighborhood beach accesses, and two regional accesses with parking and full bathroom and shower amenities. Beach Highlands is one of the oldest platted neighborhoods along 30A, dating back to the early 60's. Gorgeous sand oaks, hundreds of years old, line the neighborhood streets. You will feel like a local - and we ask that you respect our neighbors! We love them and most of them have been here for decades. Our neighborhood is walking distance to the very secluded beach access named for our neighborhood- "Beach Highlands Access". This access is one of 2 neighborhood accesses, and has extremely limited parking and a shower, which keeps the number of visitors more limited. Beach Highlands Access is also a short walking distance to the undeveloped, natural splendor of Topsail Park, to the west, which provides plenty space to spread out! Even closer is the new Dune Allen Access, complete with restrooms, parking and showers. Dune Allen Access is directly across from Stinky's should you need take out or those big frozen drinks for the beach! Stinky's Bait Shack also has any bait or fishing gear you might need! The Dune Allen access is just a hop, skip and a jump from home, so it is perfect for back-and-forth trips between the house and beach. But not a heartbeat further east you will quickly find the large Fort Panic Beach access, which is also a walkable distance. Ft. Panic has more extended parking and a broader beach frontage for more space, and also includes showers and restrooms. Still want more? Look no further than the "rest of the west" side of 30A, because Gulf Place, Gulfview Heights, Blue Mountain Beach and Grayton Beach are all within short distance! Topsail Hill State Park, Grayton Beach State Park are both close, and if you need more trails, you can find them at Timpoochee Trail, Western Lake Loop, Watercolor and Seaside Trails Loop, Topsail Trails Circuit, and Longleaf Greenway!

Note on pool safety to parents - all exits and windows to outdoor pool area are equipped with adult height alarms which must be pressed every time door is opened as required per Florida statutes. If a door or window is opened an ear piercing alarm is executed to alert you to its opening. An additional surface disturbance alarm is available upon your request which will alert you to any disturbance to the pool surface. Deck gate to pool area is also protected with certified child safety lock on opening from outside.

AMAZING!!
Double Dutch was absolutely AMAZING!! It’s in a very quiet, nice neighborhood! It took 8 minutes to walk to the beach or less if you ride a bike! The beach is gorgeous & not busy! We had such an awesome trip & loved the pool & especially the hot tub in the evening! We would definitely stay here again:):)

DoubleDutch30a is owned by Bas and Kat de Laat.  Bas is a verified, natural born "Dutchman" and Kat was raised all over the world as a U.S. "Army Brat"  but started her family legacy of visiting 30A at a very young age. In addition to their love for each other and their beautiful 3 children, they share a passion for life on 30A, and relish 30A so much that they made it their primary home in 2020. They love to be able to share their space with those looking to enjoy the incomparable beaches and amenities along 30A. We hope that your stay with us is a precious part of establishing your own lifelong 30A family legacy.

What makes this property unique

While there are many beautiful coastal homes along 30A which boast the traditional, neutral, driftwood and seashell decor; Double Dutch was inspired by a combination of the surf style more typically employed on the CA coastline of Newport Beach and Long Beach south of LA. It is a little bit edgy, and a little bit whimsical, but always authentic. Also notable, are the undeniable "Scandi" (Scandinavian) design influences found throughout the house, rooted in our origins (my Dutch husband) and our years together living in Germany. These roots left us with a love of modern design, but tied to beloved handmade wood decor bought along the streets of Europe. This love of wood features extended into our lighting design and even our hardware selection! Apart from the unique interior design, our large open floor plan, and extended outdoor living space make Double Dutch a stand out from the crowd!
