Dune Allen Beach House •Walk or Ride Golf Cart to Dinner • Steps To Beach Access
You will love Saltwater Inn! This is a recently built property in lovely Dune Allen Beach. It is steps away from the beach. It is just 0.4 miles or a short six minute walk. Visit our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saltwaterinn30a/
This two level home, in the neighborhood named Serenity, has just been completed in February of 2022. Its decor is calming with light tones of beige, whites and blues throughout the interior. This well appointed home is exceptionally furnished, with two separate living areas, an outdoor shower, a gas grill, and a 6 person golf cart.
Although this neighborhood is growing with ongoing construction, it still has a quiet and calm atmosphere. It is located in front of a main beach access "Dune Allen Regional Beach Access", and near the restaurant "Stinky's Fish Camp". At night when you sit on the front patio, you can hear the waves crashing at the ocean!
You can walk to the beach or drive the 6-seater golf cart that is provided for your stay. At the beach you can rent chairs and an umbrella, or use the ones that are provided for you from the garage of the home. You will need to bring your own beach towels. You are also just steps away from the community pool as it is three doors down. Please do not take the property's white bath towels to the pool or the beach.
To enhance your stay, a lot of thought and care has been put into the selections of the home's interior. From the luxurious sheets and towels, to the brand new memory foam mattresses and beds, your comfort is of upmost importance.
There is an automatic $79 damage protection fee added to your total which covers the owners property for up to $3,000 worth of damages during your stay.
In the kitchen you will find all of the items you have at home and more! From a crock pot to a large stock pot, beautiful serving dishes and silverware, to baking dishes, and pots and pans, you won't be without a thing you need to create that perfect dish except groceries. And everything is brand new!
There is a butler's pantry off the kitchen to store all of your dry goods. It even has a beverage refrigerator and ice maker.
The owners realize your need of basic household items, so they left you with supplies to get through your week's stay. They have things for you like toiletries, laundry soap, trash bags, detergent and some paper products! If you have arrived by car, the grocery stores are moments away. But if you prefer you could have your groceries delivered upon arrival (using your own apps). There is one hairdryer in the property.
If you have small children you will find a few things for them as well. In the kitchen there are child size plates and spoons, and a highchair. In the bedroom there is a pack-n-play with supplemental mattress. Bring your own fitted sheet. There is a plastic baby tub too.
When you arrive, you will be amazed at how easy it is to park in the driveway and carry your belongings right into the house through the front door. Check in is at 4 p.m. There is room for three cars to park in the driveway. (Although the golf cart is kept inside the garage, so you need to make room for it to get out) You may notice a surveillance camera mounted on the front of the home. This helps owners keep watch.

Awesome family vacation in a beautiful house
This house was perfect for our family vacation. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The bedroom setup was perfect for 3 couples and 3 children. The use of the golf cart was a lot of fun taking to the beach, restaurants and gas station for ice. The beach there was amazing. We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!

Great family house
We had 4 generations and the house was perfect. Close to the beach and a great 6 person cart to get us there. Downstairs master for the oldest couple and a 2nd gathering space upstairs for the kids. Plenty of room for everyone. The outdoor shower was great to clean the kids off after the beach. Very comfortable with everything you need.

2024 Family Vacation!
What a great overall experience! The location was exceptional, and the neighborhood was perfect and family-friendly. The house seemed pretty new and in great shape. The furniture was rustic and beachy. Upon arrival, the cleaning crew could have been a bit more tidy. There was sand throughout the house, and some linens were not cleaned. Other than that, I had no real complaints. The golf car was parative, a great bonus. Check-in could have been a bit smoother.

Fantastic Week!
What a great week! Of all the years we have rented homes for family vacation, this was by far our best experience. The home was extremely well-equipped, including plenty of items for our twin toddler grandkids. The location is a short golf cart ride to the beach and is 3 doors down from the pool. We loved the upstairs landing for the kids to play quietly in the evening which helped them wind down before bed. The hosts were generous and very easy to work with, and the property manager was great! We could not have been more pleased.

Amazing House and Vacation
We had a blast and the house was amazing! Had one little hiccup with the internet and texted the manager about it. He responded within minutes and we got it back up within a few minutes. He was super responsive.
The house was amazing and super clean. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities to be able to cook meals, as well as a grill on the patio.
The golf cart was so useful and handy to have to be able to haul all of the beach gear and our people down to the beach. We even walked it a few times and wasn't bad at all.
I would highly recommend this house! We had a great family trip! Best of luck!

Best stay ever!!!
This home is newly built and in an upcoming subdivision located across from the Dune Allen beach access. The home is so tastefully decorated and furnished. Kitchen is well-stocked with anything you could possibly need and also has a separate beverage fridge and ice maker. There was plenty of space for a family of 10. The rooms are very spacious with nice closets, large tvs and bathrooms. The separate upstairs living area is especially nice with 2 sofas and a tv. The home came with a 6 seater golf cart which was very helpful when traveling to the beach and the garage was packed with tons of beach equipment that we were able to use. The outdoor shower was also a nice bonus. The pool is located almost right next door and is nice and quiet. The owners and property manager were extremely friendly and helpful.
Located at 65 Magical Place, this home is definitely magical and we definitely recommend this home and will surely be back.

Great Vacation House!
We loved our quick stay at the Saltwater Inn. Our group consisted of six adults and six kids ranging from 1 - 8 years old, and we had plenty of room! The house is beautiful, and felt spacious even with our large group. It was a short walk to the beach, but we took advantage of the golf cart. We really appreciated borrowing the beach chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys provided! The owners and property manager are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this house to anyone, and we hope to stay here again!

The house had everything you needed to enjoy time away! All you need is food, drinks, toiletries, and beach towels. Everything else is there. We used Walmart delivery for all our needs. Thank you for allowing us to stay! We can’t wait to come back!

Great location and great house
This home had everything we needed! It’s in a great location and the golf cart was such a great idea! The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking items we needed! We had one issue and it might be because we love our bed at home. The platform bed in the master on the main is not comfortable. Probably needs to be a mattress and box spring. Just a suggestion. We had a great week in this home.

Great location!
Everything was wonderful. The golf cart was a life saver.
We only had a few issues that either was handled quickly or out of anyone's control. The construction across the street made us evacuate for a couple hours due to them busting a gas line. But it looks close to being completed. It was a beautiful open concept home.

Family vacation
The property is beautiful and in a fantastic location. There is construction in the neighborhood which did not surprise us because it was noted on the listing. Our group included 6 adults and 13 children ranging in age from 1 to 15 years of age. The house provided enough room for all of us to eat together and just hang out. The kitchen has everything you need including some kids plates and cups. We reserved some beach chairs and an umbrella from a local service which wasn't necessary because there were more than enough for our group in the garage. The golf cart was an excellent resource to get everything and everyone to the beach with ease. It is a walkable distance but with the children, we used the cart most days. We beached most mornings and used the pool in the afternoon. There is a lifeguard on duty at the beach access closest to the property, which gave us peace of mind with all the little ones. The pool is 3 doors away from the house and very nice. We had to pry our kids out of it every day. We loved our stay. My only suggestion would be to add a couple of blankets to the closets for those cold natured guests staying with others who prefer the house on the cooler side.
