Stunning 30A Home-Pool, Bikes, Golf Cart, Gas Grill, AC, 5 mins to the Beach

Beach Access & Distance
The home is located in Cypress Dunes, a private gated community surrounded by Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. There is no direct beach access from within the neighborhood. The nearest access points are Stallworth Beach Access, approximately 1.2 miles away, about a 4-minute drive or short bike ride, with limited parking and no facilities, and Dune Allen Beach Access, about 1.4 miles away, roughly a 5-minute drive, offering restrooms, showers, water fountains, ADA access, and ample parking. Most guests choose to drive the short 4–5 minutes with their beach gear, though bikes and golf carts are also great options.

Pets
We welcome dogs and aim to be flexible. Up to 2 dogs are allowed, with many exceptions made. There is no weight limit, and we have hosted everything from small breeds to large dogs. A $150 pet fee applies per stay. Dogs should be house-trained. A dog bowl and small crate are available. The backyard is not fenced due to community rules, though there is a large screened-in porch. Cats may be considered on a case-by-case basis with an additional $150 fee due to allergies. Walton County regulations do not allow visiting dogs on the beach, though they are welcome in the neighborhood and nearby state park.

Golf Cart
A brand-new, high-end, street-legal 6-seater golf cart is available as an optional add-on for guests. Pricing is $100 per day for week-long stays or $1,200 for monthly stays, and it must be reserved for the full stay. The cart is street-legal along 30A with a top speed of about 26 mph and is ideal for getting to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Guests must be at least 25 to rent and 21 to drive. Golf carts are not permitted on Highway 98. Many guests choose this option as parking is much easier, especially during peak season. Local rental companies are also available if you prefer a shorter rental period.

Check-in & Check-out
Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM. Early or late times may be available depending on the schedule, though same-day turnovers typically do not allow flexibility. For guest security, the address and access details are shared approximately 48 hours prior to arrival through your booking platform.

Property & Amenities
Guests enjoy full access to Cypress Dunes amenities, including an infinity pool with Gulf views, hot tub, fitness center, tennis courts, and a sunset deck at the clubhouse, all within a short 3–5 minute walk. The pool is heated seasonally from November through March, while the hot tub is available year-round.

The home is fully equipped for a comfortable stay, including 6 beach cruiser bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and toys, a propane grill, high-speed WiFi, smart TVs in every room, and ensuite bathrooms for all three bedrooms. A pack and play is available for families. The kitchen is well stocked with a coffee maker, blender, air fryer, crock pots, hand mixer, cookware, and essentials for preparing meals at home.

The home features three bedrooms and three bathrooms, accommodating up to 8 guests. The primary suite includes a king bed, fireplace, private screened porch, and ensuite bath. The second bedroom offers a king bed and ensuite bath, while the third includes a queen bed and bunk bed, also with its own bathroom.

Location & Getting Around
Located on the quieter western end of scenic 30A, the home offers a more relaxed atmosphere while still being close to everything. Seaside and WaterColor are about 15 minutes away, Sandestin and Baytowne Wharf are about 10 minutes, and Destin is roughly 20 minutes. Grocery stores, restaurants, and shops are all nearby, with biking and golf cart access along 30A and the Timpoochee Trail just minutes away. Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is adjacent to the community and offers excellent hiking, biking, and nature experiences.

Booking & House Rules
The community requires a 6-night minimum stay. The primary guest must be at least 25 years old. Maximum occupancy is 8 overnight guests, strictly enforced. Smoking is not permitted inside the home. RVs and trailers are not allowed within the community. Parking is available for up to 3 vehicles in the driveway. Day visitors are welcome in moderation, though parties and large gatherings are not permitted.

Additional Information
UPS and FedEx deliveries can be made directly to the home, while USPS packages must be picked up at the local post office nearby. Parking is available at Dune Allen Beach Access, though it can fill up during peak times, making bikes and golf carts a convenient alternative. Beach chair setup services and grocery delivery options are available in the area for added convenience.

Golf trip

We loved staying at Cypress Dune. The location was so convenient to everything. The house was great and very spacious. The complex had a beautiful infinity pool, and the property was wonderful for our daily walks. The weather turned a bit chilly and the two gas fireplaces were perfect. We would highly recommend renting this beautiful house.

Great trip to 30A

This house was fantastic - in a small, newer looking community close to topsail state park. The house was well equipped with beach gear, bikes, dishes, utensils, plenty of towels, etc etc. Peter was incredibly responsive to all of our questions. Look forward to returning in the future.

Perfect beach home

This was the perfect beach home that we could’ve asked for. The owner was incredibly responsive with all of our questions. It was a quick golf cart ride to the beach. The state park was a short distance from the neighborhood also. We used the neighborhood pool and spa and they were not busy at all. The only thing I wish I could do differently is plan a longer stay .

Awesome house with great amenities

Our family of 5 stayed here for 6 nights. It was amazing! Very clean and smelled great when we walked in. The owner, Peter was incredibly responsive and super helpful. The pool and gym are a minute walk from the property that we enjoyed many times. We rented a golf cart making the travel to the beach a breeze. All of the beds are comfortable and the house is very well appointed. We will be back!!

Christmas at the beach

Everything was perfect! It’s probably one of the first times that we’ve stayed at a VRBO property where there wasn’t anything that we needed that we didn’t have. The kitchen was stocked with spices, every type of cooking device and utensil or bowl that you would ever need. All things beach also - beach towels, beach chairs and toys it was perfect! We would definitely utilize this property again in the future!

Lovely home in a beautiful neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home in a fabulous neighborhood. Peter was VERY responsive, and nice-we had a minor issue that he handled immediately. The house is very well appointed, and the pool area was beautiful and not crowded in the least. The neighbors were friendly, and it made for enjoyable daily walks with our dog. Realistically, it's easier to drive to the beach, but it's a two-minute drive with zero parking issues. Great house, thank you!

Stunning 30A Home

The house is perfect, beautiful, comfy and convenient to everything while still being private and relaxing. The neighborhood is perfect for strolling, the pool is spacious and private with a peek-a-boo view of the ocean with plenty of space and very clean bathrooms. The gym was small but had everything you need. Peter was super helpful and responsive to any question we had. The golf cart really came in handy for getting to and from the beach and getting to places that were close. I would highly recommend this property without question and hope to be back real soon!

Santa Rosa Beach getaway

This was our first time to the 30A area of Florida. Peter’s house was great and was exactly as described in the listing. The house was well equipped with everything we needed and much more. The neighborhood was great. We met some neighbors at the pool and on walks and everyone was soo nice. We drove to the beach but it wasn’t a big deal. It was close to the house. Lots to see and do along 30A! Would definitely rent here again!

Beautiful Home

My Wife, teenage son and I really enjoyed staying at this Property Memorial Day Week. Home is beautiful with a well stocked Kitchen. Enjoyed being able to take our Springer Spaniel, and the Neighborhood is great for early morning walks. We really enjoyed the Neighborhood Clubhouse and quiet Infinity pool and swam everyday. Quick 5 minute walk. Several Beach accesses about 5 minute drive away. We tried several, rented an Umbrella/ Chairs further up the Beach one day, most days we took Chairs and Umbrella from the Property to a closer access. Host Peter was very quick to respond to any questions, much appreciated. Would love to go back to that House in the Future!

Great home on 30A

This is a great home at the west end of 30A in a gated community. All the furnishings and amenities you'd expect in a million-dollar home, not a rental property. This includes bikes for the whole family, beach chairs, beach towels, etc. The neighborhood is very quiet, and the home is a few minute walk to the pool and fitness center. The fitness center is very good, with 5 pieces of quality cardio equipment, dumbbells up to 50 lbs, a Smith machine, pullup/dip station, TRX bands, physio balls, and a few pieces of resistance exercise equipment. It's slightly more than a mile from the home to the nearest beach parking lot, with a paved bike path the entire way. Very easy drive or bike ride. There are restaurants within a mile of the property and many more along 30A. Peter, the host, is as responsive as you can ask for and on top of everything. We highly recommended this home for a quality vacation.

MUST HAVE A CAR

The house is nice, clean, stocked and in a safe neighborhood. The access to the beach is 1.3 miles away and the walk to the 2 pools is too FAR. A golfcart for the price of the rental with 0 access to the beach would have been perfect. You must have a car to get to the beach. The chairs and umbrellas are on the back porch. You cannot carry those to the beach on a bike or walk. It’s way too far and I exercise daily. The house is fantastic and the neighborhood is fantastic. It’s just far from the beach and pools. Peter is helpful and attentive. It’s just farther than I expected

30a

It was a nice house and good neighborhood. All the laminated signs on the the bed, couch, knife set and beach towel basket with instructions on how to use and the fees that would be charged did make the stay a little uncomfortable. I feel like if the laminated signs were not all over the house it would feel more welcoming and would have been able to enjoy the stay more. Other than that the house was well stocked with everything you need to enjoy your trip.

Beautiful Home for a Lovely Stay

Rented this home last minute and Peter was amazing to work with! Extremely responsive which I very much do appreciate! The home is absolutely beautiful! Had everything we needed and more! So many little details and extras that I am not used to with other rentals! The neighborhood is beautiful as well and easily walkable. There is some construction still going on. The main pool is beautiful and never too crowded! The absolute only negative is that there is no way to get to the beach directly from the neighborhood. Have to drive down to public beach access. All in all I would highly recommend this home for your next stay and hope to come back in the future ourselves!
