It was the perfect size for two adults and two young children. The entire place was very clean. We were glad it had a dishwasher and washer and dryer. There is a private outdoor shower that we used many times to rinse off after being at the beach. Wonderful unobstructed view of the gulf from the front porch! ##### James H. ### 6/10 Okay #### Thomas M. May 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Front in a Great Location, for couples that have a pet. Beach Front vintage cottage that allows a pet and is ideal for a couple. It’s been remodeled to current standards on the interior. Exterior is barebones but has a covered patio with an incredible view of the ocean. It’s priced correctly.Only thing that could be said as a possible suggestion, is to verify there is a pest service being used as there were a number of bugs in the place, specific the Rollie pollies, and some very tiny microscopic insects that were in serious numbers and primarily visible on the tile floor, they would be too small to see on furniture. ![View from beach overlook back to the cottage.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e700d9ba-9361-4891-a259-9b2c2521cb0d-1748395744438.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Off the deck overlook at the beach.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/23430260-c00e-4dd2-a597-d8e726b30977-1748395744436.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Thomas M.

I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The washing machine was not working until Thursday, and we arrived on Saturday. Once the repairman came, it took 20 min change out the connection. Dune Allen offered for us yo use the washers at their office but not exactly how we wanted to spend our time. We would have appreciated getting a repairman sooner. Plus, when calling about not receiving a check in code at 4 p.m., the man I spoke with was rude. TV didn’t work in bedroom. I don’t recommend Dune Allen. ##### Deborah Y. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jeannette W. Sep 4, 2016 #### Not great The best part of this place is the beach! We had a good time, but would not return because of two things. The kitchen countertop is all broken up and is at least 50 years old. Unsanitary and disgusting looking. Also there is black mold growing in the wall of the main bathroom. If these things were fixed, we would return. Also sheets were in bad shape with rough "knots" We should have expected this for the economical price. We had hoped for better .......... ##### Jeannette W. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2016 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 14, 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Perfect location Location is great! We contacted management about all the loose boards on the steps leading to the water. Also the water hose needs to be replaced. Hope the stairs will be addressed before someone gets hurt. The couch and chair need to be cleaned. The mattress in the sleeper sofa is the worst I have ever seen, very old with springs and dirty. King mattress and two twin rooms were comfy. Outdoor shower was nice. The steps leading to the beach are shared with a cottage across the street. Would have been nice to be informed because we thought it was our private access. Black mold on the air vent in the kitchen. Floors not cleaned, sand and dog hair still on floor. Need more utensils only 6 forks. Bring door mats or you track sand inside. Even with these issues we will return because the location was perfect. If you rent a bike through live well they only have beach cruisers no gears. Disappointed that reviews from years ago have not been addressed. PLEASE FIX THE STEPS LEADING TO THE BEACH. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah W.

Oct 16, 2017 #### This home itself was nice, but the grounds really need to be cleaned up. The driveway is sand, which is okay, but you literally get caught with burrs when you get out of your car. The grounds are very overgrown and full of plants that have nasty, prickly burrs on them. This includes the path to the deck that overlooks the Gulf. They have hoses connected from the house to the deck so that you can rinse things off, but the hoses are all split and useless. Inside the home was nice with an older kitchen, but well stocked. The bathrooms have been updated. The master bedroom has a king bed that is comfortable, but for some reason you can't move on it because the bed frame squeaks loudly. ##### Pat D.

Aug 14, 2015 #### Best family vacation ever! Idyllic setting, quiet beach, private walkway and deck. Convenient to great food and dining (Shrimpers for fresh seafood, The Donut Hole and walk to Stinky'a Fish Camp for great Creole seafood) and down the road from WalMart if you forget something. Easy access to Destin or PanamaCity for entertainment for the kids. Large kitchen that we cooked in daily. There was a funky smell in the microwave that hopefully has been remedied and the fridge did freeze a good bit of our produce on their preset levels. Could use another comfortable chair or loveseat in the living area if more than 2-3 people in the room. When polled, it was unanimous among the family members that this was the best place we have ever stayed on the beach and we usually go 1-2 times yearly and have stayed in Seagrove Beach in the past. ##### Angela T. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Chris J. Apr 24, 2015 #### Great Beach House We loved the location and the beach was great. We would definitely come back! There were 2 negatives. First, I was not happy with the sharing of the walkway to the beach. I think this should only be for the Beach Cottage, not for the Beach Cottage and the Beach House. We were interrupted many time throughout the week with our neighbors and it was quite intrusive. We payed good money and I didn't like this aspect of the rental. Also, I know we were at a beach, but if you don't like sand in the house, this is not the place for you! The house was great with the exceptions of these 2 issues. However, I would come back every year if the walkway was exclusive to the cottage. ##### Chris J.
