Beautiful beachside retreat.

This condo is so lovely, comfortable, fully equipped with everything anyone would want, decorated with style. The view is amazing and having 3 decks is a real bonus. The outdoor gulf side setting is quiet and serene. My first reaction when we opened the drapes was WOW. The hosts were thoughtful and responsive A very positive experience in every respect.

Thanksgiving stay

This property and location was excellent...much better than expected. The unit was beautifully updated and had plenty of space for our family. There is a public beach access close by which only caused minimal disruption to us riding bikes in the area. We had a great Thanksgiving weekend here!

Perfect Spot for Family

First timers to the area and were very impressed with the location. Literally steps to a very private beach and right in the middle of any attraction or restaurant you may want to go to. Space was clean, quiet and comfortable for a family of five with three kids 7 and under.

Beautiful home on lovely beach

This was a beautiful 3 level home with great views only a very short walk to the beach. The property was very nice and the owners were easy to work with. My granddaughters and I had a lovely "girls'" trip here. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was just perfect for us.

Property was very nice with a lot of extra touches from closet organizers and enough hangers for longer stays. Decks on both sides of the unit allowed nice sunrise and sunset viewing taking in from the private beach area.

Great stay at the beach!

This was our second time renting this wonderful condo on the beach. The place has everything needed to prepare all of your meals. We bought fresh fish several times from Buddy’s and cooked it at the condo. Very close to Seaside. We frequently ride our bikes to town and ride around the trails in Watercolor or head east for a 6 mile ride to Rosemary Beach. We will be staying here again!

Incredible!!!

This place is by far one of the nicest places we have stayed in this area. We will definately be back! Property was very clean, and everything was in great condition. A perfect place to get away, and right on the beach! I miss it already!

Great location, condo, and beach!

We loved this place so much and will definitely stay there again. The condo was just as pictured and even better. We loved the location in Santa Rosa. The beach was private for the condo only so there was a lot of room for us especially since it is right next to Deer Park. Lovely families staying in the other condos which made for a great experience also. The only negative is that there is little to no cell service in the condo if you have Verizon. We were able to get texts with the wifi and had cell service down on the beach.

Relaxing week at the beach!

This is the third unit we’ve stayed in at Walton Dunes, and the one we’re most likely to return to! The unit itself is clean and comfortable, and and had everything we needed for a family of four. The kitchen and bathrooms are updated and clean—everything was just easy. The kids loved the bunk beds and loft space in their bedroom, and we loved the comfortable bed and ample storage in the primary. It’s literal steps from a perfect, private access beach, so you don’t have to worry about getting out at the crack of dawn to claim a spot. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this unit again—thanks for a wonderful week!

As always, this year's stay at A Sea Shell on the Beach was just lovely. Thanks again to the wonderful unit owners for going to great lengths to make sure everything was absolutely perfect. I could not say one thing negative about this property or the owners. They know exactly what tenants need and enjoy and are always improving on the unit. Thanks so much!

My wife and I cannot remember the number of times we’ve stayed in Walton Dunes #5, but every year it gets better and better. Place is always spotless when we arrive and they are continuously updating the the place. We had ZERO issues and loved every minute of our trip again. We will for sure be back again!!! Thank you again!
