Perfect family vacation spot. The property is steps to the beach and tucked away in a hidden nook making it quiet and away from traffic. We have rented this property for the past 4 years and plan to rent next year as well.

Our week at Inlet Sunset was perfect. The house was as advertised, very comfortable and had everything that we needed, provided. The location is amazing as the beach is right outside the door! We loved the private beach and access to the pool was a bonus! Damon, the host, was fantastic and quick to reply to any questions. We already re-booked!

We had an amazing family vacation at this beach house in Inlet Beach! The home was spacious, clean, and very comfortable for our large group. With 6 bedrooms, everyone had plenty of room to relax and enjoy their stay.The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals throughout the week. The beachfront location was perfect, and we loved having easy access to the beach as well as the shared pool.One of the things we appreciated most was all the extras provided by the owners—there were plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys for the kids, which made our trip even more enjoyable. Parking was plentiful, and the location was convenient to restaurants, shopping, and local attractions.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to make family memories. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway!

Beautiful spot on beach

We loved the location and really cannot get closer to the beach. The owner was extremely responsive! My friends and family loved it and already want to book again for next year. My two suggestions on improving include more comfortable seating in the common area and a covered deck-it rained a lot and we were stuck inside when it rained.

An absolute GEM. When the description says you are right on the beach, honey, you are right on the beach. Just steps away crystal clear blue water and white sand. It was perfect for my aging mama who can't do stairs easily. She was able to take some trips to the beachfront without issue!Beds were comfy, everything was well-stocked and we wanted for nothing. Great location (minutes from Rosemary Beach, if that's your thing but really, who would want to leave the inlet?)Just the cutest place on the beach!

Absolutely amazing

The property is exactly as described, you absolutely cannot get closer to the beach. The house was incredibly comfortable and immaculate. The upstairs primary and balcony offered incredible views of the beach. I also cannot speak highly enough of the owner Damon. We somehow managed to lose a set of keys to one of our vehicles on the day of checkout. Damon was understanding and helpful! A godsend in a stressful situation. Beautiful property in a serene location!

This house is amazing!!! It's right on the beach, so you can just sit on the porch and enjoy the ocean! We have been renting this house for 24 years and it's our absolute favorite in the 30A area! The owners are super nice and easy to work with. All my friends that have come down throughout the years love this place!! I highly recommend it!

Another great week in Inlet Beach

We've rented this house quite a few times over the past 25 years and have accumulated many happy memories here. This week was pure relaxation. The house has been updated nicely and we liked the beach chairs and umbrellas that were set up for us every morning. The casual, relaxed vibe of the house is still the same and the location is unbeatable. You truly "cannot get closer to the beach".

About the host

Hosted by Damon Dismukes

Host profile image
We built this house in the mid 80's to enjoy family and rent when we were not using the house. It was built for vacationing and enjoying the beach.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Inlet Beach is the perfect get away for families or multiple families. The property has a state park less than half a mile east with a large coastal dune lake that is accessible from the beach. Lots of beach that you do not share with many people. Quiet but not far from many activities such as shopping and dining.
