Year Purchased: 2001

Why the Owner Chose Dune Allen Beach

We have been coming to this area since 1981 and have seen lots of changes. We bought this house with the intentions of making changes and adding a pool. We love to do projects and thought this would be a lot of fun, but it was a ton of work!

The Unique Benefits at this House

We love having a pool at Great Expectations. We have spent some Christmas vacations there and have been swimming in the heated pool while it was about 35 degrees outside. Lots of fun, but extremely cold when getting out!
We also love having Smiling Fish restaurant and Miss Lucille's Gossip Parlor across the street.
We love going out bike riding on the bike path also!

 

Owner's Map of Dune Allen Beach

Wayne and Mary and Mary's brother, Bill, bought Great Expectations in 2001 and in about 3 months we redid the interior and added 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Lots of demolition work!
Wayne and Mary live in an artsy little town in Alabama and Bill lives in California.
We all love to vacation together at Great Expectations in the off-season....but Bill
always says that "Mr. Project" (Wayne) keeps us busy the whole time working on the house! We do find time to have a little bit of fun.

    • Did we die and go to Heaven? That is what we thought when we vacationed at the "Great Expectations" home owned by Wayne & Mary Walker in March 2009. The home is impeccably appointed, with beautiful furnishings and lovely original artwork throughout. The photographs you see don't even begin to do this home justice. It is that much more wonderful when you are inside and outside this home. It has many added amenities that you may not expect in a vacation home - a great pool, a separate ice maker, more kitchen appliances, dishware, and ancillary pieces that come in handy. Nothing in this home is second rate; I felt like we were in a "Southern Living" magazine! Add to this a terrific couple, who truly want their renters to have a one-of-a-kind getaway experience. We found them to be extremely helpful, honest, and fair in all our dealings. Wayne & Mary are great to deal with and were very responsive to our needs. We had a wonderful and memorable vacation at a reasonable price. We are sure that we will not want to stay anywhere else on our next trip to the Destin area - we were so spoiled with this "Diamond in the Rough". You will not be disappointed!!

    • Wayne and Mary were so helpful and delightful to work with. Our family stayed at Great Expectations over the Christmas holidays 2008. We truly enjoyed our stay; sitting on the veranda, swimming in the pool and watching the waves break. If we ever have a chance to go back we would definitely stay at Great Expectations.
