Raised Cottage 'Dune Fine'- Easy Walk to Beach - Dogs Welcome!

DUNE FINE is a delightful, and extremely popular, raised beach cottage in the Dune Allen Beach area of 30A. Many know well why the property has earned its name and reputation in Santa Rosa Beach. If not...here's the skinny: Once you've checked in, and kicked back, rest assured you'll be Doin' Fine as well!

This newly remodeled home is located at the western end of 30A (closer to Destin than Panama City Beach), but still just minutes from any activity or destination you wish to explore. DUNE FINE is a 3/2 home that offers spacious accommodations for up to six but manages to capture a feeling of beachy coziness and casual comfort in its first floor, open plan living/kitchen area. The L/R section of the house blends well into the 'galley kitchen' and allows all parties to watch TV, converse, cook, and perhaps, sometime around sunset, share a 'frozen concoction' that your inevitable blender will be happy to render. Bedrooms and baths are somewhat more generous in size than those of other beach homes and for six people, that's a real plus. A shaded, upstairs balcony is positioned beautifully to take advantage of delicious gulf breezes...Well behaved and monitored children are most welcome. (The garage is not part of the rental). As many of you know there are a variety of beaches on 30A. Some with lifeguards and chair/umbrella setups, some without, and some offering good food just a few strides away. We are within a 10 minute walk to three public beach accesses. We are only a 5-minute walk to South Walton's newest beach access, Dune Allen Regional Beach Access. Stroll down with your things, or if you'd like to take coolers, fishing gear and more, I suggest tossing it all in the car and making the less-than-60-second drive. A few more minutes to the east is the Fort Panic Beach Access. And our little hidden gem is the Stallworth Lake Access, which is a 10 minute walk at the end of South Bishop Road. And we are less than 2 miles from Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. Many beach spots offer restrooms and outside showers (no need to go back home covered in that sugar-white sand). One of our most popular restaurants - Stinky's Fish Camp is a five-minute walk.

We are a dog-friendly home. There is no additional pet fee. Flea free, vaccinated, well-trained dogs (limit 2) are welcome (they'll love being able to romp in the large, fenced backyard). You know your dog. If prone to separation anxiety, we ask that you crate your dog when you are not at the house. Dog size/breed must be pre-approved before booking. So please indicate this information in your inquiry if possible.

Our crew is very focused on cleaning and only CDC recommended sanitizers are used. There is no need to interface with others when checking in ~ you may go directly to the cottage for private entry.

NO SMOKING ALLOWED INSIDE!

PLEASE NOTE: * DUNE FINE IS AVAILABLE ON A 'WEEKLY ONLY' BASIS DURING THE HIGH SEASON (MARCH - AUGUST). WE GENERALLY DO SATURDAY TO SATURDAY RENTALS DURING THE HIGH SEASON. CHECK WITH US FOR EXCEPTIONS DURING OTHER TIMES OF THE YEAR. MAXIMUM 6 PEOPLE.

Very clean home with 5 minutes walk to beach. Great tall fenced in back yard for dogs or kids. Bring a wagon to pull your stuff to the beach parking at beach is sparse. Home has everything you need to be comfortable with great location. Do have to climb outside stairs with baggage and groceries but I didn't mind the exercise. Loved the outside shower to wash the sand off it even has warm water. Definitely would stay again.

Just a short walk to the beach & 30A trails.

The house was perfect for all of us with ample room to spread out. We all loved the beach themed decor & the outside shower with hot water was so nice to have. Our dog was thrilled about that huge backyard & the trail being so close for her morning walks. Definitely recommend staying at 74 Dune for an awesome beach vacation!

What a beautiful property, close to the beach, in a quiet neighborhood. Has everything you need for a glorious beach stay. Traci was so accommodating and went above and beyond to answer any questions. Furniture is comfortable and it’s beautifully decorated with an ample back yard for our fur baby.

Great location

Traci was great to book with. She was very accommodating and the house was exactly how described. Easy walk to the beach. I travelled with a large group for this trip and we had another rental house which was managed by an agency, I recommend going with Traci since the communication and accommodation are much more personable. I would definitely stay here again.

Another Great Stay at Traci’s Place!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Dune Fine and this was another great stay! Traci allows dogs, but you would never be able to tell based on the cleanliness of the house. The upgrades to the house since our last stay were very nice, and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed sniffing around in the new sod in the yard. The house is close to a nice public beach access and it’s just a short walk away. (We rented a golf cart during our stay but it’s not necessary to get to the beach.) The outside shower was perfect after days at the beach, and the shaded front porch with seating was a nice escape from the sun. (We brought a portable electric fan to make it even cooler when we sat on the porch.) 30A is becoming more and more developed so there was construction next door and with a few other houses on the street but it wasn’t an issue for us. The neighborhood is really nice and makes for a great beach vacation. Santa Rosa Beach was not crowded during our stay and it was definitely less busy than Destin. We enjoyed the slower beach pace at Traci’s house again this year. Great stay!

First Time on the Gulf

Every vacation search starts with a pet friendly location for our family. Well, let me assure you this house will not disappoint. This was one of the cleanest, well kept properties we've every stayed at. The back yard was huge and I felt safe letting our dog run around inside the fence. This area is beautiful but it is changing rapidly. Dune dr felt like a construction zone with all the new houses replacing old houses, and just new construction in general. A lot of times during the day this street is one way with all the dump trucks and contractors trucks on the side of the road. The Dune Allen beach access is also very nice, but the public beach is only about 150' wide and it gets very crowded. You'll also notice signage stating that the beach on either side is private property. We walked about 350' west down the beach until we didn't see any private beach signs, and about the time we got ready to leave the owner of the house said we could finish the day, but to not come back tomorrow. The next few days we went to the beach access just to the east of this location, it has a much larger "county owned" area. I'd also learn how to use a county gis map to see who owns the property near the water. Rent a golf cart, it's much easier to go to the beach access areas and you really can experience the area better, not to mention easier to park. Traci was wonderful and I would recommend this property 100%!! The minor issues we mentioned are for renters to plan accordingly.

Fine Dune is great!

This rental is beautiful decorated, organized and detailed. I gave it 5 stars all around with the exception of the neighbors and that i am sure is only temporary as new construction was going up right next door and was a bit noisy at times but that is nothing that Tina could have done about that. If there was I am sure she would have as she is that determined to make her guest happy. I could have missed the listing stating the 2 flights of stairs to climb to get to the entrance, that could be my bad... definitely dog person as the house and yard is perfect for your 4 legged family. Doggie decor all around the house is amazing and let us know we chose the perfect house. Even had vet clinic magnets on the fridge for emergencies ❤. Tina had helpful information all around the house. Everything is updated with new and attractive appearance everywhere. We were very happy with the house. Thank you!

Home Away from Home

Dune Fine was exactly that…perfectly fine!! The home had all the amenities needed and a few extras. The outdoor shower was very nice to have, we used it for more than a “rinse the sand off” shower. The yard was a perfect size for our 2 furry, four legged children. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely sized and laid out. The front porch, especially the swing, was a great place for morning coffee time and evening drinks. Thank you Traci for opening your home-we throughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again!! Leah Q.

Lovely Beach Cottage

Everything about Dune Fine was perfect. It’s clear the owner took extra steps to ensure that everything that guests and their pups need is there. The cottage was very clean and exactly as pictured. The yard is nice and large, and the fence is very secure so that even a small dog can’t find an opening to slip through. 4 - 5 minute walk to the beach entrance. We loved our week stay and hope to come back next year!

Beautiful property, fantastic location

We had an amazing trip and this house was everything we wanted! It was extremely clean when we arrived and the owner’s attention to detail was impeccable. There were dog bowls waiting for us, places to hang leashes and harnesses, a huge fenced in backyard with shower for the dogs to play. The walk to the beach was about 5 mins so it was the perfect location. This area was never really busy like Desitin so it felt very relaxing. Lots of delicious restaurants in the area. The home itself was beautiful and newly updated interior. I would give 10 stars if I could!
