My wife and I stayed 34 nights at this townhouse and we would rate it 5. Great location right on the beach which is gated, private and not crowded. The townhome is beautiful and quiet. Tom was a great host and always responded to any questions within 5-10 minutes.

Beautiful beachside retreat.

This condo is so lovely, comfortable, fully equipped with everything anyone would want, decorated with style. The view is amazing and having 3 decks is a real bonus. The outdoor gulf side setting is quiet and serene. My first reaction when we opened the drapes was WOW. The hosts were thoughtful and responsive A very positive experience in every respect.

Thanksgiving stay

This property and location was excellent...much better than expected. The unit was beautifully updated and had plenty of space for our family. There is a public beach access close by which only caused minimal disruption to us riding bikes in the area. We had a great Thanksgiving weekend here!

Perfect Spot for Family

First timers to the area and were very impressed with the location. Literally steps to a very private beach and right in the middle of any attraction or restaurant you may want to go to. Space was clean, quiet and comfortable for a family of five with three kids 7 and under.

Beautiful home on lovely beach

This was a beautiful 3 level home with great views only a very short walk to the beach. The property was very nice and the owners were easy to work with. My granddaughters and I had a lovely "girls'" trip here. The bedrooms were comfortable and everything was just perfect for us.

I have stayed in Tom and Carla's beautiful unit many times and it is always wonderful. Tom stands available for any problems that may arise, but they rarely do! They have covered all the bases and made sure their guests can enjoy a relaxing, stress-free vacation.

Awesome Beach Condo

Perfect location to enjoy the view and access to the private beach. This condo is close to restaurants and shops on 30A yet in a quiet neighborhood. Condo is well-equipped with everything you need for a great vacation. We’ve already booked it again for next year.

Great stay at the beach!

This was our second time renting this wonderful condo on the beach. The place has everything needed to prepare all of your meals. We bought fresh fish several times from Buddy’s and cooked it at the condo. Very close to Seaside. We frequently ride our bikes to town and ride around the trails in Watercolor or head east for a 6 mile ride to Rosemary Beach. We will be staying here again!

Great location, condo, and beach!

We loved this place so much and will definitely stay there again. The condo was just as pictured and even better. We loved the location in Santa Rosa. The beach was private for the condo only so there was a lot of room for us especially since it is right next to Deer Park. Lovely families staying in the other condos which made for a great experience also. The only negative is that there is little to no cell service in the condo if you have Verizon. We were able to get texts with the wifi and had cell service down on the beach.

Relaxing week at the beach!

This is the third unit we’ve stayed in at Walton Dunes, and the one we’re most likely to return to! The unit itself is clean and comfortable, and and had everything we needed for a family of four. The kitchen and bathrooms are updated and clean—everything was just easy. The kids loved the bunk beds and loft space in their bedroom, and we loved the comfortable bed and ample storage in the primary. It’s literal steps from a perfect, private access beach, so you don’t have to worry about getting out at the crack of dawn to claim a spot. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this unit again—thanks for a wonderful week!
