Detailed Description:

5 Bedroom/4 Bathroom home with Private Pool and Lake with Private Dock - Great Gulf Views from almost every room in the home AND only steps from the sand at the public access! This home is conveniently located right by a LARGE PUBLIC beach access for all guests of our area to use.



Daniel Dunes is located on the beautiful Emerald Coast of the Florida Panhandle. Surrounded by Deer Lake State Park, Eastern Lake to the West, and the Gulf of Mexico to the South; this home backs up to a lake with expansive westerly views of the gulf. From door to sand is less than a minute walk making it easy to head back in for lunch or a nap.



This location is one of the best locations in the Seagrove area. Situated between 2 lakes south of 30a, there is very little traffic. The house is located in a gated community on a small cul-de-sac off a dead end road making it ideal for little ones to have fun cycling. Ample bike paths great for rides to the Seagrove area restaurants and shopping; or ride on to Seaside for more activities. Also, Deer Lake State Park is within walking distance and has many trails to explore. Deer Lake is a rare coastal dune lake only found a few places in the world!



Located approximately half way between Panama City and Destin, you have less than a 30-minute drive to either destination. Gulf fishing is available in both along with a large variety of shopping and other activities.

Great beach house for big family holiday gathering!

This property was a great place for our family for a thanksgiving get together! There was plenty of room for all of us, and the owners provided everything we needed for our stay, including bikes, paddle boards, plenty of dishes, etc. It was also in a great location - steps from the beach. I'd highly recommend this house!

Annual Family Beach Vacation

Loved our stay at Daniel Dunes! Our family of 9 people had lots of space and the garage full of play equipment (including beach, bikes and ping pong) made this beach visit very enjoyable (with no additional expense)! This was our 6th annual family beach vacation - we have tried 4 other locations (in Destin) and finally discovered THE one for us! We have already reserved Daniel Dunes for 2020 and our family was discussing next year’s vacation plans as we walked out the door!!!!

Wonderful house with an amazing location!

We loved our stay here at Daniel Dunes!! We have never been to this area of Florida and immediately fell in LOVE. The location of this house is great and we felt so welcomed from the moment we stepped in the door. We rented a golf cart and spent days going to Seaside for lunch and adventuring around the area. Our children spent tons of time in the warm pool and kayaking in the lake. Our favorite spot in the house had to be the porch swing. The sunset from there is UNREAL. We definitely will be back to 30A and will forever cherish our memories in this house. Thank you so much for being such a great host! :)

Beautiful home by a beautiful quiet beach!!!

We had a wonderful week at Daniel Dunes. The house was clean, well stocked and very spacious. We spent our days using the kayak and paddle boards on the ocean, enjoyed seeing many ocean creatures (one day we saw 5 dolphins and one of the paddle boards was within a paddle length of a mom & baby dolphin swimming by!), road the bikes for miles everyday, riding through the different neighbourhoods of 30A and played in the pool whenever we could fit it in. We really enjoyed all the balconies and ate all our meals outside while enjoying the views. We had a problem with the door lock one evening, but it was dealt with efficiently. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a beautiful quiet location on 30A.

March 2023

Fantastic time at Daniel Dunes. We have been doing yearly trips to the area for the past few years. Daniel Dunes has tons to offer. The outdoor amenities were plenty. We used them all. Bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, fishing poles, beach cart etc! Daily swimming, fishing, beach trips were had. The proximity to the beach is perfect! Front area was used for soccer, baseball and football! Locally, we visited the shaved ice shop a few times, Khave and Cream, and went to dinner at Beachcamp brewery. Marina (host) is great and easy to work with. Timely responses and a great source of information. We enjoyed this part of 30A more than the “busier” sections that we’ve stayed at previously. Hoping for a repeat 2024 adventure!

Wonderful pool

The house was large but lacked in bathrooms. 6 teens using one bathroom which contained the washer/dryer also! Not convenient. The kitchen was well stocked and dining table fit all 12 of us. There were two large king bedrooms with beautiful bathrooms, upstairs. The in-law suite was connected to the garage. My husband and I shared the king bed and my sister slept on the pull out sofa. We all shared a tiny bathroom which was attached the the bedroom.At night she had to go through our sleeping space to use the toilet. The space contained a small kitchenette. However, we could not get upstairs where the rest of the family was located WITHOUT going outside and up approximately 15 steps to deck outside main level. When it rained, there was no way to get to family without getting soaked. It rained about everyday. Not all day but it rained. Now, THE POOL was awesome. Large enough to accommodate all of us at one time. We loved it. Plenty of chairs and floats. The beach was so so at this location. The walk was short. But not a clean beach. Saw no Walton county cleaning the beaches. Very crowded, too.

TONS OF EXTRAS!

Daniel Dunes is loaded with lots of extra fun for families. There is a swimming pool that can be heated, a lake in the back with a private dock for dishing, a grill which we used for 3 meals, 4 kayaks, plenty of adults’ & children’s bikes, lots of beach chairs & beach umbrellas. There is a bed-sized porch swing overlooking the Gulf which is great for naps. We rented for Thanksgiving & were delighted to see 2 refrigerator/freezers and a double oven to hold & bake our Thanksgiving dinner. The owners could not be a nicer person to rent from. They make their guests feel very special.

50th anniversary celebration

This beach house is very functional. It has everything that it advertises except "2 minutes from front door to water". It is more like 10 minutes. The owner is exceptionally nice and helpful. However the pictures on the website show a stunning home and this house is on the shabby side. The furniture is beat up, pillows need to be replaced ( at least in the mother in law suite) and the cupboards need to be cleaned out to remove broken or unusable dishes. For example there is the bottom of a blender but no top portion for it. The beach cart is a life saver and wonderful to use. The garage is pretty cluttered and we set aside 3 broken beach chairs. However there was plenty of water and sand toys to accommodate most anyone's needs. We also enjoyed the ping pong table except because the garage was so crowded it was hard to play. Overall we had a wonderful time and as I mentioned it had everything we needed for the week. I guess we were disappointed upon seeing the house after seeing the pictures online and the reviews of others that had used the house.

Perfect Spot

We have been coming to the South Walton area for the past 10 years and stayed in many different neighborhoods. We finally found our favorite! Seagrove Beach is secluded enough where the beaches aren't crowded, but still close enough to bike to restaurants and shops. Daniel Dunes had so many extras that we can't think about ever renting anywhere else again. I could list everything out, but just go stay there-you won't be disappointed! Marina is great to work with and VERY responsive! We texted her as we were driving for dining suggestions and within a minute she texted us back with several of her favorites. She is passionate about the area and it really showed in our conversations. We already referred our friends who are staying later this summer! Thanks again for sharing your home and making our stay memorable. Until next time!

Views make this house!

We were pleasantly surprised how nice the views were from Daniel Dunes. Also, it was really nice to be on a dead end so the kids could play without many cars driving, and it was much quieter than other areas. Seaside and Rosemary beach were just a short drive, so we ended up renting a golf cart since we saw so many others did so as well. The house is very well stocked with everything we needed, and just a short walk to the beach. Marina at 30A Guest is very good with communicating quickly whenever we had any questions. Thanks for a great stay!
