About this house rental
The Allen House - Dune Allen Beach offers an interpretation of South Walton's beach scene that is focused around pure relaxation and complemented by outdoor adventure. Situated minutes east of Destin on the start of the magnificent Scenic 30A, this intimate beach community hosts a private beachfront custom cottage known simply as the Allen House.
The Allen House is perched directly on the white sand beach of the Gulf of Mexico and affords its visitors front row seats to some of the most spectacular vistas in the country. Constructed on sturdy wood pilings, this Dune Allen vacation home literally sits directly on the beach. A roll-up wraparound balcony makes accessing the interior of the home convenient for all. Once inside the residence, guests will put at ease with the calming earth tones and open floor plan. This charming beach cottage was designed to capture views from each room in the property.
On the first floor of the Allen House - the living room, dining room, and kitchen all view out onto your very own private beach. In addition to the main areas of the home, the first floor also houses the primary bedroom with a shared full bathroom and an additional guest room that hosts 2 twin beds with a full private bathroom. Both of these rooms look towards Oyster Lake.
Venturing to the second floor of the Allen House, guests are welcomed by a bonus living room. This location offers seating, a small dining table, a flat screen TV, and a pair of sliding glass doors leading to the second floor balcony and its incredible gulf views. To the west of the living area is the second king bedroom, hosting beach views and a new flat screen TV. The eastern bedroom of the cottage hosts two queen beds. Both rooms share a Jack and Jill bath with a tub/shower combination.
Not only is the Allen House Beachfront in South Walton, it's also steps from Oyster Lake, a rare coastal dune lake that offers a chance for guests to fish, kayak, or venture out on a stand up paddle board- the preferred method of transportation in this area. Dune Allen also will charm nature lovers with two additional coastal dune lakes as well as Topsail Hill State Preserve, with wonderful trails and the highest dunes on the coast. Although nature is the number one draw to Dune Allen, civilization is not far and some of the best restaurants in South Walton are located within Dune Allen, with Stinky's Fish Camp being within walking distance. Head just a little further east and discover Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, WaterColor, and Seaside- all offering their unique rendition of the perfect beach lifestyle in South Walton and home to boutique shops and delicious dining options.
First Floor: Living Room with Balcony Access, Kitchen, Dining, King Primary Bedroom with Shared Walk-In Shower, Bedroom with Two Twin Beds and Walk-In Shower, Laundry.
Second Floor: Bonus Den with Balcony Access, King Bedroom, Jack and Jill Bath with Tub/Shower Combo, Bedroom with Two Queen Beds.
Allen House stands as the western gateway to South Walton's scenic 30A and is only moments away from the lively amenities of Sandestin in Miramar Beach. Allen House's prime location includes convenient dining options. Stinky's Fish Camp, known for its fresh-caught seafood, is just minutes away, and you can walk down the beach to The Vue on 30A for Caribbean-inspired seafood with sweeping Gulf views.

Great property!!! We couldn’t be more pleased with the location! It’s perfect for a family with little children!
10.0 / 10.0
Right on the beach. The beach behind the house is just for those who stay at the house so you don’t have to get out early to save a spot. The house is nice and the deck is trex decking not wood which is wonderful especially when you have a toddler. Our stay couldn’t have been better. Highly recommend this house.

This house was perfect for our family and teenage friends! Our daughter brought 2 friends and 3 more joined later in the week. Very private beach in front of the house. Kids had a great time biking as well. Wonderful restaurants and shopping are a short drive!

By far the best location we have ever stayed at on a beach. The house location could not be any better than what it is- directly 100 feet from the gulf front, with crystal white sandy warm beach (never burning hot sand). The design of the house is nice. The house needs up-keeping. The rooms upstairs smelled like urine/ mildew, with clogged up bathtubs. The kitchen cabinets smelled bad.

The house is large enough for 8 people to have plenty of space. The kitchen was well stocked and a nice size. The house is right on the beach, and you don't have to walk very far to the water. We all had a great time.

This was the perfect house for our family of six and my parents for our week long vacation. The house is tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings. It isn't overly fancy which is nice with 4 kids. I wasn't worried they were going to break anything yet it was a very pretty and inviting environment. The bathrooms could use a little bit of updating but overall very happy with the condition of the house. The location is great. Even though the houses around us were all booked with large groups, we felt like we had the most private beach space. It is close to stores but away from the bustle of town. The views from both sides of the house are lovely. We had to do a little bit of cleaning ourselves when we arrived because I am very picky. Mostly wiped down the kitchen counter as some of the bar area seemed to have been over looked and cleaned the windows to maximize the gorgeous view. Other than that, everything was clean. The only caution is that the house is not far from the inlet of the lake behind the house. This leaves much to be desired when wind and waves distribute the algae from the tributary down the beach. That said, from one day to the next the water can change. One day it was algae green, the next crystal clear and probably the most beautiful I have ever seen it on 30a. It literally changes over night. We loved our time at this home and plan to be back!

Our family truly enjoyed our week in early March. Some in our group swam, temps in 68-70, like California, perfect for walks on the beach. We rented chairs everyday on our sunny week. The home worked out well, loved the upper balcony, den upstairs as well as the large wrap around deck downstairs. We even enjoyed wonderful massages (lady came to our home)in the upper balcony area for all the ladies one day. Great gift from my daughters for my birthday!
The kitchen was equipped well for, layout of home perfect and property management gets 5 stars for shipping home something left accidentally. They are great to work with and happy to help in any way. We had 3 cars to park outside and this was the only concern , with one way in and out. If the owner could add a turn around, would be fabulous. Don’t miss this getaway over a little inconvenience!! We would love to come back and spend a week again with our family in this beach home that breathes ocean air, and serenity.

This house was perfect for our family. We would definitely recommend it to anyone!!! We had everything we needed!! We will be back!!
