Great house and location!
We had a wonderful family vacation at Seas the Day in Dune Allen. The house was very comfortable, pretty and had everything we needed. The location was perfect. We loved that we could easily walk or ride to the beach. If needed we could run back to the house. There was always enough room for us at the beach. The community pool was nice too! We also liked being close to Gulf Place. Really enjoyed being at this end of 30A.

Overall very nice
I was worried about the small beach front. We went down early at about 7am to set up our tent and there was usually already people set up at the front but we still had a good spot. There was always room for us. The beach is so pretty we didn’t go to any other beaches. The house was overall clean bathrooms/kitchen but the floor was still pretty dirty. We had enough towels but there was a small starter pack of 6 dish pods, small laundry detergent, we had to buy extra of both plus trash bags, paper towel, toilet paper etc Overall had a nice family vacay! It’s a good location easy to walk and the trail around oyster lake it pretty!

Great place to stay!
Great place to stay! We had 3 families! Beach is close and easy walk but the only downfall is the public access only allows about 30yds wide to setup between private owners and they don't play! We got up at 5am every morning to ensure we had a front row seat! Kids loved the bikes! Stayed during July 4th and it wasn't crowded at all!

LOCATION!
This place is wonderful! The location is prime. 3 minutes walking to the beach. 2 minutes walking to gas station if needed. less than 1 mile from Shunk Gulley Bar, other restaurants and other beach access. House provides a lot of necessity items for kitchen, grilling and more. Great place to stay and enjoy a relaxing vacation.

Great Stay!
For the 2nd year in a row, this property was our home away from home for our annual family beach vacation. We had a great stay and will consider this property again for our next trip to the area.. Two ideas to improve the guest experience... 1. Replace the light fixture (or just the bulbs?) over the dining table. That area is too dark. 2. Remove the decorative glass jars in the bath on the main level and install a towel bar for hand towels next to the sink. A towel bar is also needed next to the sink in the hall bath upstairs.

Great Family Trip!
We enjoyed staying at this beach cottage! It’s very close to the beach. I’d say about a 5 minute easy walk. The beach area is public and it’s on the small side. The areas on either side of it is private and heavily monitored. We went down every morning about 9:30 or so to set up our umbrellas and chairs. Then we’d go back to the house and wait for everyone to get ready. We never experienced any issues with finding a good spot. We did notice other people being told to move if they were not within the public beach range. The beach house was comfortable and well equipped for a family of 8 including a toddler. Beds were extremely comfortable and bathrooms were spacious. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and utensils. We also used the grill one night for bbq One morning we took a walk down to Gulf Place where there are areas to shop and eat. It was an easy 10 minute walk even while strolling a toddler. There are 4 beach chairs and a wagon included which we used each day. However, we brought our own beach umbrellas and other beach items. All in all we had a great time visiting Santa Rosa Beach and staying in this beautiful house. Hope to come back again sometime.

Very Comfortable and Close to Beach Access
This house is much more private than it appears from the street. The back porch looks out onto Oyster Lake and is secluded by trees and vegetation. It is tucked back off 30A so no road noise—but it’s only a 2 minute walk to the public beach access. It’s a narrow public beach that is aggressively policed by the neighboring properties—so if you need to set up a base camp you need to be careful where you set up. This was a beautiful location—about halfway between Gulf Place and Topsail State Park. Much less crowded than the bigger access points across from Stinky’s and Gulf Place. We biked to Grayton Beach (twice) and Seaside and to Topsail State Park, but found our sliver of public beach to be the nicest and least crowded. We spent some time at a nearby public park with skating, soccer fields and a splash pad and lots of shade..We had five teens and they played soccer and rugby one evening on a shaded soccer field. Also played “foot golf” at Watersound. The house itself is extraordinarily comfortable for a rental. The beds are insanely comfy—all of them! The couches are also comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped—we cooked most nights. Huge pantry. Stocked with a small welcome kit so you can at least have coffee before getting groceries. And about that—don’t go to Publix on a Saturday afternoon or evening!!! Super crowded! Outdoor shower. Beach cart and chairs. Plenty of parking, although it’s a straight driveway and we had to rearrange cars a few times. Tastefully decorated and not outdated, and just flat out comfy as home!

Great family getaway!
This home had just the right layout and amount of space for our family of 9. My wife and I appreciated the bedroom on the main level, which allowed our daughter and her family to use the large owner's suite upstairs. The back porch offered privacy and was a great place to hang out during the rain. The two minute walk to the beach was perfect and made it easy to run back to the room to grab lunch or take a break from the sun. We would stay at this property again if traveling to the same area.

This property was the cleanest I’ve stayed at in Florida in a long time. The beds were comfy. The WiFi worked well. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. They even supply more than one day worth of laundry soaps and such. My family had a wonderful time.

Close to beach
This property met our needs. We travelled with 3 moms and 7 boys, aged 6-11. It showed some typical wear, but was clean overall. There is one living area and it is near the downstairs bedroom. The seating in that living room is for 6, comfortably. So when it was time to relax, we were on top of each other a bit, given that we were a party 10. The kitchen was fairly well stocked with supplies, but remember your coffee filters, ziplocks and foil, etc…. The back porch felt secluded, even though we were very close to the other homes in the community. And sleeping was quiet and undisturbed by outside noises. The community pool was clean and easy to access. The community felt safe. The dune lake in the back was fun to paddle about, but our boys met little success fishing in it. Reaching the beach was pleasantly easy, as there is a public beach access right across the street. That being said, the beach are where you can actually set up is very narrow, as private residences to either side enforce their “private property”. The result is that you are crowded next to other folks who are trying to do the same. So go with a friendly attitude, and be ready to meet your beach neighbors. The water was beautiful and clean! We did not travel out to eat or shop much, but Stinkys Bait shop was right down the road as was a Tom Thumb for basic needs. We also used the Publix for grocery deliveries, etc. While we didn’t have any cause to ring the owners, communication was easy.

Great house, great location.
We’ve stayed here before for girls trips in the past and as always it did not disappoint!! Nice and comfy plenty of room for everyone. Just a few things to note. Basics like toilet paper, trash bags etc are provided but you will probably need to purchase more. The kitchen is stocked with pots pans and utensils but no basic cooking items like oil, salt or pepper. The public beach access is a little confusing. Directly in front of the walkway is open to the public. To the left of the walkway is private property owned by a HOA and it is strictly enforced. A small section to the right of the walkway is private property too but we did not see that being strictly enforced. So you will need to either get to the beach early to get a spot in the middle or walk to your right for more public beach access. Still an amazing spot. From beach to house is less than 5 minute walk.
