Recovered from the Hurricane! Please come back!
THE GULF FRONT SUNSET
Important Information
September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene tore through Dekle Beach and completely destroyed many homes. Winds over 140 MPH and 16 feet storm surge which acted like a tidal wave. This means everything under 16 feet tall was underwater. The Gulf Front Sunset miraculously survived. The swing on the mezzanine was left suspended in the air with nothing underneath it. The main house above and everything inside were somehow undamaged and in pristine condition.
The staircases and the mezzanine are reconstructed Also, much repair has been done to the downstairs electrical and plumbing . The AC unit was washed away and is replaced.
Unfortunately, the two kayaks were washed away and have not replaced them. I will not renew the Directv. The new wifi company has the internet up and running faster and better. Bring your own passwords and watch Netflix, etc. If you have a youtubetv.com subscription, that is good , too. Any subscription you have at your home will work at the house.
Our 2 bedroom 1 bath house sits on high stilts directly overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Located in undiscovered Dekle Beach, Florida. It is a retreat from everything. It's a scalloper, Fishermen, birder and stargazers' delight We are about three miles up the coast from Keaton Beach. The home overhangs the Gulf, with the high tides lapping against the sea wall. The porch/deck looking out on the Gulf. Sunbathing is great right on the 3rd story wrap around deck. There is an open mezzanine floor between the house and the ground level with a hanging twin bed swing! Covered parking at ground level with three open bays. Great for grilling in a rain, baby cribs and lots of people room. Relax and read on the swinging bed on the mezzanine. You will enjoy breathtaking gulf views and fabulous sunsets.
There are 3 full bays open for cars and boats. NO AIRBOATS AT THE GULF FRONT SUNSET, sorry. No street parking. Steps down into the Gulf of Mexico! PETS(no more than 50 pounds each and no more than 2 pets.) are allowed, but message Martie, the owner, about them). Guests pay $10 a night for one or two pets on the honor system to the housekeeper, Kerri. Please leave cash in the envelope provided or just. on the table with your name on it. Thank you, Martie.

About the host
Hosted by Martie McLean
I'm 75 years old and I live in Ocala, Florida. My husband and I purchased the house is 2001. I have rented the house for years and have had fantastic reviews through vacation websites. I also have two places on the Atlantic coast and are also available for rent through this website. I take great pride in my beautiful places and am very responsive to any of our guests' needs. I do not live locally but can be there in 2 1/2 hours. I have a team of folks that help me with any issues you may encounter. I am available by phone but especially by email.
Why they chose this property
It is so peaceful! The area is still pristine and undisturbed. I love to study the stars and at night, on a clear night, the Milky Way is breathtaking. The weather is always a pleasure (except when the hurricanes blow through) whether it is a sunbathing day, or a stormy night. I also love bird watching. I like to sit with binoculars and identify them. At night, we grill out on the nice double hibachi grills and enjoy talking and being with family. Scalloping is great at Dekle and the area. Sometimes they are right out in front of the house. Sunsets are always breathtaking.
What makes this property unique
Underdeveloped Florida is almost a thing of the past. Dekle is a nice small community . Scalloping season is the high season and often the scallops are right out in front of the house. Fishing is great as well. Pets are welcome but $10 a night for up to 2 pets on the honor system left at the house upon departure.
