Absolutely loved our stay! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need, and the house was spotless. Perfect for families… very kid-friendly with tons of pool toys and beach chairs ready to go. Just a short walk to the beach, and the host was very responsive. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

Family Trip

The house was great for a large family trip. Our three year old really enjoyed the pirate ship bed set up and it was a quick easy walk to the beach. The heated pool option was also a nice touch since it wasn’t warm enough to swim in the ocean.

Great place for families

Perfect place for families. Kids room was amazing. Public beach can be crowded with all the issues the city is having between the public beach/private beach owners. However, there is a park just up the road that has a trolley to take you to the beach at the park and it was beautiful. Much better then fighting a crowd and lots of walking trails.

Great location!

We had adults and kids at this house. Lots of helpful items for the little ones including pack n play, high chair, and baby spoons. The pool was smaller but the kids loved it. The kid bunk room was great for the little kids to play and sleep. It had some toys and games so that was nice as well. We had golf carts and I highly recommend getting them. The beach is close but it’s a small area that’s public so getting a golf cart will make it easy to go to a different area. Lots of food and shopping close by. Would definitely stay here again!

Family Spring Break

This house was perfect for our family with kids and grandkids. The rooms our nice size for adults and can have kids stay in room (pack & play). The room for the kids is awesome! The pool worked great for us and with 8 adults and 5 kids we grilled out most nights. We thought about renting a golf cart but it is not necessary. The walk to the beach is close and kids 4 under 10 easily walked to the beach. Communications with owners is excellent. We would stay there again if we come back to the area.

Great 30a getaway

Chose this location specifically for it being in Dune Allen Beach. Love that end of 30a, and this house did not disappoint. Great space for our party. 6 adults and 9 teenagers. Senior spring break for my son, and other family/friends. Bunk room was great for the guys, and bedrooms were great for all others traveling...comfortable beds by the way. Easy, as advertised, 5 minute walk to the beach. The pool was the perfect size and a great hangout spot in the evenings. Had an issue or two from some unforeseen circumstances, but the property owners were super quick to respond and more than accommodating. Not sure if I'll travel with a party this size in the future, but would choose this place again if I do.

Family Celebration!

Great house! Easy walk to beach, although we rented a golf cart as well. Pull wagon included at the home was helpful. Our group featured 5 grandkids ages 11-18, who enjoyed the bunk room. Plenty of dishes and cooking utensils, etc. The 13 of us had enough room for family meals and games. The three porches/balconies were perfect for a little solitude. Ran the laundry practically nonstop. The pool, although quite small, was refreshing and another popular place to hang out on several loungers. We loved Dune Allen Beach. Reasonably busy, but not too crowded. Can reserve chairs & umbrella sets (online, ahead of time). Nice restrooms conveniently located at the public beach access. Jessica was an attentive host. It was a memory-making vacation for our family! Thank you so much!

This house worked well for our group of 12. 8 adults and 4 kids. Our kids LOVED the bunk room and all the toys and games provided. The heated pool was well worth the money. I will note that when the nights got cold it did take a bit for the pool to heat back up. The host was very quick to respond to any issues we had. We liked this location as it was less busy than when we ventured closer to Seaside. Next time we would rent E bikes and explore further down 30A without having to drive.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Rice-Pugh

Host profile image
Be our guests! We are passionate about making memories for families; and have been hosting family-friendly vacation rentals since 2020. We decided to start hosting after we got married in 2019 and centered our lives around our mutual values (family and travel being two of them!)

We are grateful for all of the memories we've built while traveling together through vacation rental experiences. We're also building a family of our own - as of the time of this writing we have an 18-month old son and another baby on the way. We hope our experience as guests, as a family, and everything we continue to learn as parents, helps us to be great hosts and anticipate the needs of you and your family while you vacation as our guests.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the sugary white sand and turquoise water of the Emerald Coast! Our property has the beach house feel and it just screams family! This house was drawn to me because it reminds me of cherished memories of my family's annual beach trips to the Outer Banks NC. This area is perfect for families' and I look forward for our property to become a memory maker for other families and our own as well.
