Family Trip

The house was great for a large family trip. Our three year old really enjoyed the pirate ship bed set up and it was a quick easy walk to the beach. The heated pool option was also a nice touch since it wasn’t warm enough to swim in the ocean.

Family Spring Break

This house was perfect for our family with kids and grandkids. The rooms our nice size for adults and can have kids stay in room (pack & play). The room for the kids is awesome! The pool worked great for us and with 8 adults and 5 kids we grilled out most nights. We thought about renting a golf cart but it is not necessary. The walk to the beach is close and kids 4 under 10 easily walked to the beach. Communications with owners is excellent. We would stay there again if we come back to the area.

Great place for families

Perfect place for families. Kids room was amazing. Public beach can be crowded with all the issues the city is having between the public beach/private beach owners. However, there is a park just up the road that has a trolley to take you to the beach at the park and it was beautiful. Much better then fighting a crowd and lots of walking trails.

Family Celebration!

Great house! Easy walk to beach, although we rented a golf cart as well. Pull wagon included at the home was helpful. Our group featured 5 grandkids ages 11-18, who enjoyed the bunk room. Plenty of dishes and cooking utensils, etc. The 13 of us had enough room for family meals and games. The three porches/balconies were perfect for a little solitude. Ran the laundry practically nonstop. The pool, although quite small, was refreshing and another popular place to hang out on several loungers. We loved Dune Allen Beach. Reasonably busy, but not too crowded. Can reserve chairs & umbrella sets (online, ahead of time). Nice restrooms conveniently located at the public beach access. Jessica was an attentive host. It was a memory-making vacation for our family! Thank you so much!

Great 30a getaway

Chose this location specifically for it being in Dune Allen Beach. Love that end of 30a, and this house did not disappoint. Great space for our party. 6 adults and 9 teenagers. Senior spring break for my son, and other family/friends. Bunk room was great for the guys, and bedrooms were great for all others traveling...comfortable beds by the way. Easy, as advertised, 5 minute walk to the beach. The pool was the perfect size and a great hangout spot in the evenings. Had an issue or two from some unforeseen circumstances, but the property owners were super quick to respond and more than accommodating. Not sure if I'll travel with a party this size in the future, but would choose this place again if I do.

Fabulous girls’ getaway

Thank you Jessica and Michael for sharing your home with us! We had a very relaxing long weekend celebrating a friend’s birthday. House is in a very convenient location, short walk to the beach and Stinky’s Fish Camp which was great for lunch and cocktails. Also a short drive to many other great restaurants. Heated pool was great too, plenty of beds for all of us (we had 10 women), furnished kitchen, nice decks on various levels, etc. Can’t wait to come back!

Amazing home made for an amazing vacation!

Our family and friends, 11 in total, LOVED this beautiful home. The location was SO convenient to the beach and dining. The home was conducive to family time, as well as alone time to curl up and read a good book. Having the private pool was very enjoyable. The communication by the host, Jessica, was excellent all throughout the booking, stay, and checkout. I highly recommend this beautiful home for your vacation on the Emerald Coast!

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Rice-Pugh

Host profile image
Be our guests! We are passionate about making memories for families; and have been hosting family-friendly vacation rentals since 2020. We decided to start hosting after we got married in 2019 and centered our lives around our mutual values (family and travel being two of them!)

We are grateful for all of the memories we've built while traveling together through vacation rental experiences. We're also building a family of our own - as of the time of this writing we have an 18-month old son and another baby on the way. We hope our experience as guests, as a family, and everything we continue to learn as parents, helps us to be great hosts and anticipate the needs of you and your family while you vacation as our guests.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the sugary white sand and turquoise water of the Emerald Coast! Our property has the beach house feel and it just screams family! This house was drawn to me because it reminds me of cherished memories of my family's annual beach trips to the Outer Banks NC. This area is perfect for families' and I look forward for our property to become a memory maker for other families and our own as well.
