GULF FRONT! Pet Friendly! Beach Cottage 30A- Dune Allen Beach

- Gulf front
- Pet friendly
- One level- small bungalow
- Old Florida style

Beach Cottage 30A is the “picture perfect” old Florida, beach bungalow. This 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath cottage is ideal for a small family or a romantic getaway for 2. The master bedroom features a king bed, and the guest room has 2 twin beds. You’ll enjoy the traditional, U-shaped kitchen with its custom tile backsplash featuring handwritten, old family recipes. You may even want to try one during your stay.

This gulf front property is charming, cozy, and quaint with a lovely back porch that includes a small dining table, private path to the beach, and a gulf front deck for enjoying our famous sunrises and sunsets. Hot local’s tip: Mid-morning is the best time to catch dolphins out for a morning swim.

Beach Cottage 30A is also pet friendly, and does not discriminate based on your furry child’s weight. So, bring Wishbone or bring Beethoven to Beach Cottage 30A, we love dogs!

This home has a shared beach access with neighboring house Beach Bungalow.

Beach Front in a Great Location, for couples that have a pet.

Beach Front vintage cottage that allows a pet and is ideal for a couple. It’s been remodeled to current standards on the interior. Exterior is barebones but has a covered patio with an incredible view of the ocean. It’s priced correctly.Only thing that could be said as a possible suggestion, is to verify there is a pest service being used as there were a number of bugs in the place, specific the Rollie pollies, and some very tiny microscopic insects that were in serious numbers and primarily visible on the tile floor, they would be too small to see on furniture.
View from beach overlook back to the cottage.

Perfect location& charming house!

This was a fantastic beach spot for myself, my daughters, and their 2 dogs. Right on the beach, with restaurants and shopping just a few minutes down the road. The house itself is old Florida charm, light, airy and all the amenities we needed. We can’t wait to book for next year!

Cute beach cottage

Great location, older finishes and furnishings, but just as described. Walk right out the back walk directly to the beach.

Perfect location

Location is great! We contacted management about all the loose boards on the steps leading to the water. Also the water hose needs to be replaced. Hope the stairs will be addressed before someone gets hurt. The couch and chair need to be cleaned. The mattress in the sleeper sofa is the worst I have ever seen, very old with springs and dirty. King mattress and two twin rooms were comfy. Outdoor shower was nice. The steps leading to the beach are shared with a cottage across the street. Would have been nice to be informed because we thought it was our private access. Black mold on the air vent in the kitchen. Floors not cleaned, sand and dog hair still on floor. Need more utensils only 6 forks. Bring door mats or you track sand inside. Even with these issues we will return because the location was perfect. If you rent a bike through live well they only have beach cruisers no gears. Disappointed that reviews from years ago have not been addressed. PLEASE FIX THE STEPS LEADING TO THE BEACH.

This home itself was nice, but the grounds really need to be cleaned up.

The driveway is sand, which is okay, but you literally get caught with burrs when you get out of your car. The grounds are very overgrown and full of plants that have nasty, prickly burrs on them. This includes the path to the deck that overlooks the Gulf. They have hoses connected from the house to the deck so that you can rinse things off, but the hoses are all split and useless. Inside the home was nice with an older kitchen, but well stocked. The bathrooms have been updated. The master bedroom has a king bed that is comfortable, but for some reason you can't move on it because the bed frame squeaks loudly.

Not great

The best part of this place is the beach! We had a good time, but would not return because of two things. The kitchen countertop is all broken up and is at least 50 years old. Unsanitary and disgusting looking. Also there is black mold growing in the wall of the main bathroom. If these things were fixed, we would return. Also sheets were in bad shape with rough "knots" We should have expected this for the economical price. We had hoped for better ..........
