About this property
Set 'Great Expectations' in This Beautiful Gulf Front Home
GULF FRONT 30A home with a large pool (15X30) located right on the beach in the Dune Allen community is perfect for large fun-filled gatherings. This house is near Gulf Place with shops, dining, tennis, golf and more! Only 100 yard walk to enjoy all of these local amenities, yet the entrance canopy of plants/palms/natural vegetation insures your privacy and seclusion.
This 5 bedroom home features three (3) GULF FRONT bedrooms and two (2) poolside bedrooms plus a spacious family room with large screen TV. There are stone and wood floors throughout with lots of original art and custom linens for a coastal flair. The WELL EQUIPPED kitchen features all stainless steel appliances including 2 refrigerators, a separate ice maker, coffee appliances for the coffee lovers, and an under counter wine refrigerator. Ample space for outdoor entertaining and relaxing is highlighted with two (2) covered porches (with Travertine stone) overlooking the gulf as well as a grilling area featuring propane gas & Weber Kettle charcoal grills (located by the pool). This property is great for off-season getaways with a 15' x 30' gunite pool that can be heated (for an additional charge per week), and gas fireplaces in the den and master bedroom. Outdoor furniture has been upgraded on the top deck and poolside in the last 2 years.
Great Expectations is a 5 bedroom, 5 1/2 bath home that sleeps 16 (3 kings, 3 queens, 4 Twin bunks). Each bedroom has it's own private bathroom as well as new (2019)TV's. The home is approximately 3000 square feet with lots of room to relax.
Private walkway leads to the beach. 6 BEACH CHAIRS AND 3 UMBRELLAS SET UP DAILY ARE PROVIDED AT NO ADDITIONAL COST (March 1-October 31). High Speed internet service provided.
Weekly only preferred March thru October (nightly considered - handled on individual basis with owner approval). Become a fan on FACEBOOK!

About the host
Hosted by Wayne Walker/ Jennifer Jordanov

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.

Why they chose this property
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!
What makes this property unique
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!
