About this property

Allen House - Gulf Front, Dune Allen Beach, 30A, Close to Shops + Dining!

Allen House -

Dune Allen Beach offers an interpretation of South Walton’s beach scene that is focused around pure relaxation and complimented by outdoor adventure. Situated minutes east of Destin on the start of the magnificent Scenic 30A, this intimate beach community hosts a private beachfront custom cottage known simply as the Allen House.

The Allen House is perched directly on the white sand beach of the Gulf of Mexico and affords its visitors front row seats to some of the most spectacular vistas in the country. Constructed on sturdy wood pilings, this Dune Allen vacation home literally sits directly on the beach. A roll-up wraparound balcony makes accessing the interior of the home convenient for all. Once inside the residence, guests will put at ease with the calming earth tones and open floor plan. This charming beach cottage was designed to capture views from each room in the property.

On the first floor of the Allen House - the living room, dining room, and kitchen all view out onto your very own private beach. In addition to the main areas of the home, the first floor also houses the primary bedroom with a shared full bathroom and an additional guest room that hosts 2 twin beds with a full private bathroom. Both of these rooms look towards Oyster Lake.

Venturing to the second floor of the Allen House, guests are welcomed by a bonus living room. This location offers seating, a small dining table, a flatscreen TV, and a pair of sliding glass doors leading to the second floor balcony and its incredible gulf views. To the west of the living area is the second king bedroom, hosting beach views and a new flatscreen TV. The eastern bedroom of the cottage hosts two queen beds. Both rooms share a Jack and Jill bath with a tub/shower combination.

Not only is the Allen House Beachfront in South Walton, it’s also steps from Oyster Lake, a rare coastal dune lake that offers a chance for guests to fish, kayak, or venture out on a stand up paddle board- the preferred method of transportation in this area. Dune Allen also will charm nature lovers with two additional coastal dune lakes as well as Topsail Hill State Preserve, with wonderful trails and the highest dunes on the coast. Although nature is the number one draw to Dune Allen, civilization is not far and some of the best restaurants in South Walton are located within Dune Allen, with Stinky’s Fish Camp being within walking distance. Head just a little further east and discover Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, and Seaside- all offering their unique rendition of the perfect beach lifestyle in South Walton and home to boutique shops and delicious dining options.

First Floor: Living Room with Balcony Access, Kitchen, Dining, King Primary Bedroom with Shared Walk-In Shower, Bedroom with Two Twin Beds and Walk-In Shower, Laundry.

Second Floor: Bonus Den with Balcony Access, King Bedroom, Jack and Jill Bath with Tub/Shower Combo, Bedroom with Two Queen Beds.

Amazing location
Right on the beach. The beach behind the house is just for those who stay at the house so you don’t have to get out early to save a spot. The house is nice and the deck is trex decking not wood which is wonderful especially when you have a toddler. Our stay couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend this house.

Spring Break 2022
This house was perfect for our family and teenage friends! Our daughter brought 2 friends and 3 more joined later in the week. Very private beach in front of the house. Kids had a great time biking as well. Wonderful restaurants and shopping are a short drive!

Amazing location!
By far the best location we have ever stayed at on a beach. The house location could not be any better than what it is- directly 100 feet from the gulf front, with crystal white sandy warm beach (never burning hot sand). The design of the house is nice. The house needs up-keeping. The rooms upstairs smelled like urine/ mildew, with clogged up bathtubs. The kitchen cabinets smelled bad.

Great Vacation
The house is large enough for 8 people to have plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked and a nice size. The house is right on the beach, and you don't have to walk very far to the water. We all had a great time.
