About this property

Life is too short to settle for second best....This is truly Paradise on earth.

Bring nothing but a smile and you will be fine in Paradise. Totally stocked with nice kitchen ware, great linens, beach chairs, bikes, beach toys and the list goes on and on. Outside furniture galore as well as a gas grill . Very important because you won't want to be inside until after dark ! There is also two large beach canopies that you may use as well as a cooler. Nice televisions in two of the bedrooms. Internet access and free long distance.

Oceanfront slice of heaven

Quiet and private except for the roar of the ocean and the snowy egrets on the beach. All the kitchen gear we needed for our extended family for cooking meals together and still enjoy our time together on the spacious deck overlooking the ocean. Plenty of beach accoutrements, towels, toys for our crew.

Best Location

This was a great vacation spot. Fully stocked house, great location and easy to get around. Close to Publix and Starbucks was close too. We were able to come up for lunch and head back down to the beach for the rest of the day. We found a couple of great restaurants. We will stay here again.

Beautiful and serene.

I came to Florida to celebrate the life of my brother and wanted a respite following the service. This was everything I needed and more. Many thanks to the property owner for sharing this healing slice of paradise. I felt totally safe alone with my little dog. It is a great location for getting a reset. Thanks again.

This is our second year staying at Sea Dunes. The property had major damage from hurricane Ian. The owner got repairs done quickly including access to the beach. Our stay end of March was wonderful.

Great Beach week

Second time staying here and love the location, the house and the community. Was disappointed to see what the hurricane did to the dunes, but the deck is still great! 50' from tent to fridge is hard to beat. Would love to stay here again.

Paradise

Our stay was pleasurable. The sunrises were magnificent. We actually got outstanding photographs of the moon. Grocery shopping was easy as 2 places available in the area. The house was beautifully decorated, so comfortable and well stocked with all things necessary for everyday living. The deck was lovely. The beach was so accessible, clean, friendly. If you are a pool person that also was available.

Great fun. Perfect place.

Grandson had an asthma issue the whole time. He’s highly allergic to dogs. This may be why ? My dog has hair, so he’s not allergic to her, just fur dogs. All in all a great visit.

Perfect

From the moment we stepped foot in the rental it was absolutely perfect. We loved the double sliding doors overlooking the ocean. The community was beautiful and well maintained. The rental was very clean and had everything we needed including beach towels.The beach is wide and not overcrowded. We highly recommend this property and want to come back soon!

Great location and deck

The location and amenities of the house were great. The weather wasn’t the best this week so we weren’t able to access the back deck like we would have liked to but obviously no one has any control over the weather. House was stocked well. There were a number of missing lightbulbs and the loft area could really use a dresser but other than that it was a perfect location for two families.

Winter Recharge

Paradise is an appropriate name for the property. One can sit on the deck and listen to the waves crash ashore and feel the sunshine on your face. You don't even have to go onto the beach to have a connection with the ocean.
