About this property

Inlet Beach Dream - East 30A, Gulf View, Near Shops + Dining, Steps to the Sand!

What You Will Love About Inlet Beach Dream

Wake up to Gulf views, sea breezes, and beach access just steps away at Inlet Beach Dream, a charming raised coastal retreat designed for up to six guests. Located directly across the dunes from the sugar-white sands of Inlet Beach, this inviting vacation home offers the rare combination of a peaceful setting and exceptional proximity to the shoreline. Multiple balconies, expansive windows, and elevated living spaces create a seamless connection to the surrounding beachscape, allowing you to enjoy sparkling water views throughout your stay.

The main living level features a bright, open-concept design filled with natural light. Crisp coastal décor, tile flooring, and comfortable furnishings create an inviting space to gather after a day on the beach. Large windows frame partial Gulf views, while the adjacent dining area enjoys a sunny corner setting with glimpses of the water. The fully equipped kitchen offers generous counter space, full-size appliances, and everything needed for preparing family meals, beach snacks, or morning coffee before heading out to the shore. A full hall bathroom and laundry area on this level add extra convenience.

Accommodations are thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels for privacy and comfort. The third-floor Primary Suite features a king bed, vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, Gulf views, and a private bathroom with a tub/shower combination. Above, the fourth-floor loft bedroom includes a queen bed, a walk-in shower, and direct access to a private balcony where you can enjoy sunset skies and coastal breezes. The living room also offers a queen sleeper sofa, allowing the home to comfortably accommodate up to six guests. With a bathroom on every level, everyone has space to relax and unwind.

Outdoor living is just as enjoyable. Covered parking, an outdoor gathering area, a picnic table, and an outdoor shower make beach days effortless. The nearby beach access boardwalk is only about a two-minute walk away, making it easy to spend your days on the sand and return home whenever you please.

What You Will Love About Inlet Beach

Guests consistently appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and the ability to enjoy Gulf views without sacrificing convenience. Whether you're sipping coffee on the balcony, dining outdoors with the sound of the waves nearby, or taking a quick stroll to the beach, the setting encourages a slower, more relaxing pace throughout your stay.

The view of the ocean and the access to the beach just steps away is awesome. It’s comfortable and clean! Definitely 4 stars for the above. It’s very basic in style and amenities. We like to be pampered a bit more, but would stay again based upon local.

This was a great find great view of the beach very close, clean exactly as it was advertised. I knew there were several levels to the house didn’t really process properly but if you have a lot of luggage or heavy, you have to go up three flights of stairs to the second level and then another set to the third level. Just keep that in mind when you’re have heavy suitcases. if you need to rent bikes, butterfly bike and kayak rental was the best they delivered them and picked up for free. You won’t be disappointed. would definitely stay here again.

Had the most amazing stay. The location was perfect with a short walk to the beach. We absolutely loved the 3rd floor balcony view. The home was clean, the beds were so comfortable and loved having a bathroom on every floor. We have stayed at several properties at Inlet and this was our best. We will definitely be back.

The place was nice and clean, the views were outstanding! My husband and I are both in the food business so the kitchen wasn’t stocked as well as we would have liked, but that’s just us. The fan on the range wasn’t working so the place smelled like bacon a lot! But that’s not all bad either! We Will definitely be back!

The water view was amazing!

The place was nice and clean when we arrived. We had plenty of room for the family. The beds were comfortable and had all the amenities needed at the place. The only reason i would not give it a 5 is the location to get onto the beach. The beach access closest to the unit are stairs. The unit also has a lot of stairs but if you want that view you have to climb to see it and it is amazing at the top! If you have good knees it’s a great place to stay! We loved it.

Unit needs updating

The property was very dated. It was clean and loved the location. Had issues with trash pickup the entire stay. It was full when we arrived and was never emptied even though we took it to the street on the indicated days. The dryer works but not very well. We had to dry clothes and towels for about 2 hours to get dry. Disposal wasn't working but we fixed that. Overall the into just needs a good update.

5 star location

The location is the only 5 star part of this place. It's like stepping into 1989 with furniture and showers/tubs that need updated. If those items were fixed...we'd rent this place again and again...even for a higher price. But the couch and kitchen chairs are well past their prime and could use a cleaning. A previous reviewer mentioned a mediocre stocked kitchen...that's true. Another pot and or pan would double the amount of pots you have. We can't stress how great the location is, but if you're looking for a higher end stay...this isn't it.

Dirty, unkept, outdated property with a great location.

Stayed at the Inlet Beach property with a pre-teen and a small child. Honestly, I would’ve been better off at a budget hotel.The main entry door frame was broken when we arrived. Door wouldn’t lock, and property management gave zero warning. Took 48 hours to respond—only to say they already knew. No apology, no fix.Bathrooms were dirty. Floors and walls looked untouched by any kind of cleaning material for a long while. Couches were old and nasty. They felt like they were covered in wax. Sheets and beds didn’t feel clean. AC vents in bedrooms and bathrooms looked like they had mold.Stairs were too steep for my 4-year-old. He had to sleep in the master with us because the other option was downstairs next to an unlocked, broken entry door.Wi-Fi was awful. Main floor TV got 25 Mbps via ethernet. Wi-Fi on other floors barely hit 10. Couldn’t stream anything. TVs were useless.Washer had rust in it. No plunger, so we lost a toilet while waiting on a response. No vacuum, so we couldn’t even clean up ourselves.Only upside: close to the beach. Carpet looked new, if that matters.Place needs a serious deep clean, real maintenance, and property management that actually gives a heads-up. Won’t be booking here again.
