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! Walk to Stinky's Bait Shack for Sunrise Happy Hour and Cherry Coffee Roasters coffee from New Orleans. Pick up a fishing license and bait for beach fishing while you are there. Set up your fishing pole directly in front of the home! Take a bike ride down 30A to shopping and dining at Gulf Place, including top rated Shunk Gulley and The Perfect Pig.

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 The downside is the house is very outdated and the carpet in the bedrooms needs to be replaced.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.

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.

The sound of the waves as the background noise while in the house was so soothing and I had some of the best sleep of my life. House was a great setup and very comfortable. Rode bikes to Shunk Gulley for dinner (delicious) and cooked the rest of the time. Would recommend this place!

Very relaxing. Layout is perfect for 2 families - each family had their own side of the home for sleeping. The only time we left the house was to get groceries and Parlor Donuts (must have). We didn't want to leave.

House is comfortable, clean, and well stocked. Would recommend.

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!

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.

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.
