Dune Betty - 30A, Heated Private Pool, Walk to the Beach + Restaurants!

Dune Betty -

A South Walton vacation is all about relaxing in a beautiful coastal oasis. Dune Betty is a beach vacation rental in Gulfview Heights in Santa Rosa Beach that helps you achieve just that! This coastal-inspired beach home is raised on stilts with a complete wraparound balcony, an elevated sun deck, and best of all, a heated private pool! With three bedrooms and two full baths, this charming beach home can host up to eight 30A vacationers.

Tucked in a secluded spot among coastal flora, guests immediately feel a sense of privacy upon arriving at this vacation residence. The first level is dedicated to covered parking and a refreshing private pool. The living and sleeping quarters are located on the second floor. Inside, the house is warm and welcoming, full of natural sunlight that filters in through large windows. A vaulted ceiling highlights the spaciousness of the open great room. The living room has a comfortable seating area with a white couch, matching loveseat, and two accent chairs. This setup faces a TV mounted on a chic coastal cabinet. Honey-toned floors flow seamlessly into the dining area, which features a table and six hardwood chairs. Between the living and dining rooms, a glass door opens onto a furnished screened-in patio, an extension of the home’s wraparound balcony. Back inside, the quaint kitchen has white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and ample storage and counter space.

The bedrooms are just as sunny as the main living area. Each room is colorfully painted and adorned with simple but elegant beach décor. In the primary suite, you will find a queen-size bed, desk, a flatscreen TV, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in shower. One guest bedroom includes two twin bunks, while another features two twin beds. Both guest rooms share a full hall bath with a tub-shower combination.

When you stay at Dune Betty, you will not only enjoy cozy living accommodations but the perks of its great location as well. Its perfect location offers convenient access to the beach, a coastal dune lake, restaurants and shops, and other amusements found in the cute beach towns of 30A. The beach is less than a five-minute walk from the property and can be accessed via the Gulfview Heights Beach Access. Draper Lake is only a few minutes away and is the perfect place to paddleboard, kayak, birdwatch, or fish. A few close restaurants include Goatfeathers, Café Tango, and Local Catch Bar and Grill. The nearby Gulf Place Town Center features various must-visit spots, such as the Perfect Pig, Sunrise Coffee Co., Pizza by the Sea, Coastal Paradise, and Soho Beach. When you’re ready, take your explorations even further by checking out the shops, events, and restaurants that make each of the neighboring coastal towns on Scenic Highway 30A unique.

Great location

Great location close to the beach. Our young children enjoyed the house and pool. We loved the porch for coffee and breakfast. Try the Perfect Pig (20 minute walk) for a great lunch or amazing donuts.

Great Trip

We had a great time at this property. We love this location and have been staying in this area for 14 years. The best part about this property was the screened in porch. We spent much time on the porch for meals and coffee.

Quiet Seaside Stay

We really enjoyed our stay! The location is fantastic, just a few minutes walk from the beach. The combination of outdoor space and indoor space was perfect for our family.

The property did have issues, the master bedroom mattress was damaged and the property management replaced it. The light and fan did not work on screen porch and it was repaired as well. It was an inconvenience to deal with while on vacay but the property management team handled it. Once the issues were resolved we were able to enjoy our vacay. Yes I would stay at this property again but would suggest that more lighting be installed outside.

Badly broken mattress, not fixed by mgmt, disappointing.

Bottom line, this rental would be five stars if the management company had actually done something to fix the badly broken mattress in the master bedroom. They emailed a "so sorry to hear, we've called maintenance", but never followed up with us, never told us if it would be fixed, and thus it was never fixed. The mattress had a 2-inch deep, full-length tear in the top pad, exposing the springs and making it impossible to sleep on. We slept on the twin beds in the other room the other 4 nights. Very disappointing. I hope this is fixed at least for the next guests! A truly nice property otherwise, clean. Bathrooms were well kept. There is only one 2-person bed. The other rooms have twin beds and bunk beds. If you have more than 2 adults, they will be sleeping on twins or bunks, FYI.

The perfect getaway

This house was perfection! It was decorated beautifully, conveniently located to a public beach access, and in an adorable area that was close to Seaside and Destin. We loved our stay here!
