You are within short drive to the many shops and dining of Gulf Place and Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club is within a short distance as well. Come enjoy some beachside relaxation on your next trip to Florida!
Many of the communities along 30A are continuing to expand, so many more individuals can come enjoy the crystal blue waters of the Panhandle. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is construction and all the items that come along with it, such as noise, road blocks, etc. We understand this can be inconvenient for our guests, which is why we have chosen to make all possible guests aware of the possibility of this during their beach vacation. As most of this is outside of 30A Cottages realm of control, we are not able to offer discounts/compensation for any noise complaints, road blockades, etc. during a guest's stay. Please reach out to a team member with any questions you may have!
***Please be aware that there is active construction currently taking place in the building, specifically the roof is being replaced. I will send an update when the construction is scheduled to be completed.***
Community Amenities: The Palms of Dune Allen offers a private beach access to the beach boardwalk and a gated, communal pool.
Parking: Dune Thyme has designated parking for one vehicle in the gated parking lot, anyone found with more than one vehicle is subject to fine and/or towing at their own expense.

Great Location
No beach view behind the dunes, but on the beach with easy access. Close enough to bike to restaurants. Unit and facility not pristine, but somewhat dated and rusty. Overall nice stay as on the beach was what we were needing.

Last Minute Getaway…. Perfect Place on the Beach
We really loved Dune Thyme. The photos and description were exactly as noted. Prettier in person. It was clean and fully equipped for anything we needed. Until 103 is on the bottom floor and normally we are concerned about noise, but pleasantly surprised no noise from renters above us and no noise from other neighbors. The king bed in the master was just yummy. We slept so well. We didn’t have a view of the gulf due to the foliage/berm, but we knew that going in. But we could hear the ocean. Very relaxing. We were only steps from the stairs to the beach. SO convenient! Literally less than 1 min walk from our chairs to the unit. The unit is in the heart of Santa Rosa… 1/2 mile from Stinkey’s and 1/4 mile from Shunk Gulley and great shopping. We didn’t use the bikes provided, but they are included. We also LOVED the security of the Palms on Dune Allen. We had security codes for everything. Most of all, we felt at home and we will be back to this unit again. Hopefully sooner than later! Thanks for helping us relax and make great memories.

Exceptional Property
Exceptional property. Beach was beautiful, clean, and easily accessible from the condo. The unit was great - The kitchen had everything you would want for your stay, the bedrooms were spacious and the property was safe. Location was perfect - short bike ride to good restaurants (Shunk Gulley, etc.), coffee, shops, and ice cream, and a short car ride to grocery stores and other restaurants. Highly recommend the property.

lovely gulf front unit
Our family enjoyed a fun, refreshing stay in this freshly renovated condo. Located on the ground floor, it provided a perfect home base for our days by the sea. Our family has enjoyed staying at The Palms for many years, and appreciate the low-key, gulf front accommodations it offers as well as a rare, uncrowded stretch of beautiful beachfront. The drawbacks to this particular unit are that it comes with only one parking space, is considerably more expensively priced than other units, and the management company could have been more responsive to an issue we had with the wi-fi connection while working remotely. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Dune Thyme.

Great family get away!
Renting was easy. My family rented four 1st floor condos and Dune Tyme was the favorite. For dinner we would all meet at our condo- it was perfect for entertaining.
2 negatives- the washers and dryer were extremely small.
The condos only have enough parking for 1 car per condo and you have to find your own overnight parking for extra cars.

Great condo
This is a clean and new condo that was stocked and furnished almost the best I have seen. Very thoughtfully appointed by the owners. We appreciated the quality bed linens and mattresses, great patio furniture, and kitchen supplies. We could not believe there was only a single serve coffee machine! We had to buy one for the tired parents in our group. Also it would have been nice to know they don't have cable as we planned to watch a lot of football. Other than those 2 things, this place was fantastic.

Cozy Condo
This beautiful condo fit seven adults and three children very comfortably! It’s steps away from the beach. The newly renovated home is stunning, owners did great.
The only problem we had was some days we weren’t able to park in the parking because other tenants used more than two parking spaces.
Other than that, it was great!
Bikes were a bonus as well.
