Family Beach Vacation

This house is gorgeous! One of the nicest furnished and well equipped vacation rentals we have stayed in. From the well equipped kitchen to the comfy beds, this place is sure to please. The owners are were extremely responsive, and made us feel right at home. Would definitely stay here again.

Big beautiful house, walk to the beach!

We shared our vacation with extended family. This house had enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable and have the privacy they wanted. It’s a very new, clean, beautiful home with great common spaces and everything you need - extra towels, full size washer/dryer, outdoor shower, boogie boards/beach chairs/wagon, and an oscillating fan for the only bedroom without a ceiling fan. Good water pressure in the showers. Comfortable mattresses and pillows! It takes about 8 minutes to walk to the beach, so we didn’t have to deal with beach parking at all. We also walked to Stinky’s restaurant which is only a 6 minute walk. The owners were very thorough with information ahead of arrival, and were quick to respond when I had a question. My only “heads up” would be that the driveway is steep and there are lots of stairs. Something to consider if you have babies/toddlers or anyone who struggles with stairs. We were ages 5-65 and we did just fine! We would absolutely stay here again!

As Advertised

Was somewhat skeptical with over 20 reviews, all positive and 5 star—but it’s earned. Great space. Everything needed for a great stay. Neighborhood great. Very easy checkin and checkout. Great communication. Driveway incline is steeper than expected, could be an issue for those with mobility challenges. But fine otherwise. The beach is the main attraction so I was curious about how beach access would go given the public/private issue. Beach access is an easy walk. No issues there. Beach is definitely crowded, but didn’t take away from the experience. We still had a great time. Everyone was cool. If you want to show up at 10 and set up for the day, expect to be in the very back of crowded beach. Serious beach goers were set up on the water by 7-8. Most set up and leave (which I get, but is also not cool at the same time). If you want to spread out, there is a state park 2 miles away (free at the moment). You can park and take a tram to a large public beach. We were there during peak summer season and it was fine.

Little slice of 30a heaven

The house is in the perfect location. It’s very short walk (5 mins for us with 3 toddlers and all our junk 😊) to the beach AND there is a great beach access with a flashing light cross walk, clean public restrooms and a ramp down to the beach. We loved the location so much! We enjoyed Stinkys 2 of the 3 nights (fantastic food and kid friendly). The house is just beautiful. Lots of space- very clean- great blackout curtains- tons of sleep spaces- lots of games and plastic bowls and cups for kids… everything you could need in the kitchen to cook (although we decided not to cook and kept stinkys busy)! Brian is amazing and so responsive, we really appreciated the hospitality. We can’t wait to come back- thanks so much for a great get away!

Perfect

From the moment I contacted Brian about renting this property to the time of checkout, everything was PERFECT!! This couple goes over and above to make you feel welcome and at home during your stay. I had a lot of questions for them throughout our trip and Brian was very quick to reply back. I couldn't be happier. We travel to the beach every year. This year was the best thus far. Thank you for making our stay amazing. I did make a suggestion about maybe putting some blackout curtains in the front bedrooms (for those of us that don't get up with the sun ).I appreciate that he appreciated my suggestion. Will definitely be returning.

Wow- home away from home

I cannot even begin to tell you how great our stay was at Casa Vitoria. From the beginning, communication with the owners has been wonderful. When we arrived- the house is JUST as pictured and the quality of the furniture, decor, towels, appliances, bedding, etc was PERFECT. I literally felt like I had packed up all of my favorite things from home and brought them with me. Most items were so good I even asked the owners for a list of brands and where I could find them when I got home! The walk to the beach access is so short and easy and it is very convenient to everything we wanted to do, plus tons more! Less than 20 mins to Destin and 25 mins to the Hub, and Seaside food trucks! We will absolutely it let be staying here again! Thank you for everything!!

Dune Allen Family Time

We had an awesome week at Casa Vitoria for a family Spring Break trip! The house was beautiful, clean and in a great location. Brian was an outstanding host making sure that we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was enjoyable. The public beach access is an easy 5 minute walk from the house, which is so convenient. We love how quiet Dune Allen is compared to the craziness of Seaside. Within a 15-20 minute drive down 30a, you could be to Gulf Place, Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach and more. We didn’t make it to Topsail Park this year, but that is also a great place to visit and just about a 5 minute drive from Casa Vitoria. As far as the house is concerned, you really couldn’t ask for much more! It is very clean and decorated tastefully. The kitchen is gorgeous and well-stocked. There is a small gas grill on the back deck area that came in very handy on a couple of nights. The 2nd level bedrooms each had their own TVs (kids loved that) and comfortable beds. The 3rd floor master suite is enormous and very private with soaking tub, a nice shower and a massive walk in closet. The only things to be aware of (not negative - just facts that could make a difference to some families): * this is a new development with significant construction still going on in the neighborhood. Workers usually didn’t get started until 8:30am or so and seemed to leave by 5. We are a busy/active family, so it really never bothered us a bit because we were out and about during those hours. * the home does sit on a hill, so the driveway has a pretty steep incline and then you have to climb steps to get to the main entrance. All bedrooms are upstairs so more stairs to climb once inside. It was never an issue for us, but for some families that might be a concern. We considered it a little extra exercise! * the pool area is very nice, but it doesn’t seem like it is heated? We were there in early April and every kid that got in the water only lasted a few minutes before the teeth chattering started. We had the same experience last year, so if the pool is important to you, just know that early in the year it could be chilly! Overall, we loved our time here and I don’t think I’ve had a VRBO host that has been easier to work with than Brian! Very quick to respond to questions and very helpful once we arrived. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing Rental!!!

I highly recommend this home! It’s beautiful, great location, very clean and most of all the owners were top notch! We couldn’t get the tv to work and the owner was there and fixed it within ten minutes. Response time was super quick. My sister thought she left an item and the owner even went through the garbage to look for it, above and beyond. This location is super close to the beach very walkable. The kitchen has every gadget you need and the bbq was very easy to use. Perfect amount of space and lots of it. We were two families with kids from 10 to 19. We will definitely rent this home again. Do not second guess this rental book it, you will be very pleased!!!!

Great House, near Beach

The property is quite new and in very good shape. It is very well equipped in the kitchen and elsewhere and has plenty of seating and TVs. Only 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach. Master suite is great. Three other bedrooms. One is tight but still fine. Plenty of close restaurants and shopping. Homes are being built nearby. We played golf several times at courses about 15 -20 minutes away. Owner is very helpful and very responsive.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love in the area when we would vacation here over the years and picked this house and location because it was less crowded than the Destin area and was so family-friendly. The proximity to the beach is excellent with an access point at the end of the street - just a 5 minute walk.
