DUNE WITH A VIEW Gulf Front w/Private Beach and Pool—Bike/Walk to Seaside
The Emerald Coast is famously known for its white, sand beaches and emerald green water. Our beaches are consistently rated among the best in the U.S. and for good reason. Calm, clear waters. Smooth, soft sand. An abundance of wildlife ranging from dolphins to sea turtles, and even stingrays can all be seen from our porch overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. For those unfamiliar with this part of the Florida Panhandle, the beaches of 30A are known as the Emerald Coast because of the unique clear-to-turquoise waters and sugar-white sand of its beaches. It is also known for its natural beauty, the lack of high-rise condos and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. Stay here, and bask in the sun on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Secluded on a private five-home street and yet right in the middle of all you could want, 'Dune With a View' is a six bedroom, five and a half bath gulf front home that is perfect for families and those looking to relax and enjoy the finest beaches located right outside your door!! Relax on one of two porches looking out over the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy the best sunsets Florida has to offer from the porch outside your living area! We are located on a quiet, dead-end street- low density population- there are not many people on this beach. You will have lots of room to spread out. The stars are beautiful here- away from the lights of high rise condos.
Walk out the door and you are ready for fun!! Fish right from the beach, rent bikes, go for a swim, or raft in the waves. Or just wander along the beach and enjoy the view - it is up to you. Seaside is approximately 2 miles to the west where as Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach are approximately 6 miles to the east, so there are several wonderful planned communities in close proximity.
This Northeast inspired cottage boasts approximately 4,000 square feet of living space. On the second floor, enjoy the open Kitchen, Dining and Living area with a flat screen TV while overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Kitchen is well stocked for cooking, has stainless steel appliances, separate ice machine and under counter refrigerator for beverages. The upstairs porch provides outdoor dining and ample seating. There are also two bedrooms and two bathrooms on this level. On the entry level you will find a laundry room, four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms; King Bedroom, Queen Bedroom, Twin Bedroom and Bunkroom with Sleeper Sofa. The private pool and beach are just steps away. From behind the pool there is a gate that opens directly on the secluded path that takes you to the beach. There is also an outdoor shower and gas grill on the patio and plenty of Adirondack seating and bed swing for relaxing to the tranquil sounds of the ocean.

Weekend the Beach
My wife, 13yo son, and I met my daughter and son in law for a week at the beach. They have 4 daughters 8 months, 3 years, 7 years, and 10 years old. There was more than enough room for all. As we were only 9. Beachfront house. We used a service to put up and take down chairs on the beach everyday. The small Pool is wonderful as it’s hard to stay in the sun all day for
A week. We cooked every meal indoors but the area has more than enough restaurant choice from very nice dining ton taco huts. Wonderful stay. Everything furnished!! In our way back to reality and a new school year for the kiddoa

Santa Rosa Beach Getaway
We very much enjoyed our stay at Dune with a View VRBO. The house is very nice with a fabulous oceanfront view. Private beach shared only with a few houses. Nice pool. It was close to restaurants and half way point between Rosemary/Alys beach and Seaside/Grayton beaches. The house was very clean. You will need to bring pool/beach towels as they are not provided and beach chairs. We rented ours - it was very easy and our chairs and umbrella were up on beach at 8:00 am and taken down at 4:00 pm. We would definitely stay here again.

Week of Fourth of July
Absolutely the very nicest, best place our family has stayed for our Family Week at the Beach.
The house felt welcoming at the first step inside. It felt like a real home. Very complete kitchin - everything a baker, griller, cook would need. Loved the privacy of the ground floor, the screened in balcony is large enough for our entire family all at the same time. ONLY improvement would be to have bunk beds in the room with two twin beds. (Just a personal reason. Then youngest two girls could sleep with their girl cousins rather than with their parents on air mattresses in parent's room.) LOVED this house

Friends that are Family
This is our 4th year traveling as a group of young families! Dune with a View was perfection for our group. The beach access was top notch. The ocean view was gorgeous, felt like you were feet in the sand but you were on the porch! House was incredibly accommodating and beautiful, so much character! The owner was hands down the best manager I’ve ever rented from. We will be back, hopefully sooner than later because I’m already having withdrawals!

Nice Beach Home with dangerous shower doors
We enjoyed our week at the beach house. The home was extremely clean and comfortable and well equipped for a large group. We apparently chose a bad week to visit bc the ocean was full of seaweed and the beach had biting flies. The owners / managers of the home communicated quickly with us to suggest cactus spray and it worked great. Of course there is no control over seaweed and winds but June May not be a week we would choose again. I would love to give a 5 star review but the shower doors in multiple showers were self closing and 3 people in our party had their fingers injured by the doors. The first two were adults and injury was minor. Unfortunately they didn’t share the information and the third was our 8 year old son who had to have nail removal surgery. It has been a long process of healing and a very painful one. I reached out to let the managers know and was told that there was no issue with the shower doors. I explained i really hope they would take it more serious as the injury was significant. I sent a photo. Sadly, they never responded again even despite the photo showing the extent of the injury. So enjoy the home but be careful with the shower doors- the result could be painful and costly.

We enjoyed the house and proximity to beach and downtown. Perfect for our family of 15, room for everyone. Only drawback was no TV in every bedroom. Some of the grandkids like to go to sleep with TV on, a bad habit I know! Loved looking out at the beach from the deck!!

Overall we enjoyed our stay
There are pros and cons to this vacation rental just as with any rental. The house is in a great location and the property manager is very responsive. There is a beautiful view from the second floor porch and there is plenty of seating on the porch for large gatherings. However, the house and furnishings are very dated and the house itself is rather dark which is not obvious from the pictures. Nevertheless, assuming that you intend to spend the majority of your time at the beach and not inside the house, overall I would expect that you would be happy with this rental.
