COMMUNITY: Beach Haven is a quiet residential community located on Scenic 30A in Santa Rosa Beach. It is a quick drive from Grayton Beach, Seaside, and Sandestin and less than an hour's drive from two commercial airports (33 miles to VPS, 38 miles to ECP). There are numerous nearby day attractions and site-seeing opportunities within a short drive to other popular communities such as Destin and Panama City Beach.

DINING and SHOPPING: With close proximity to local restaurants such as The Vue, Shunk Gulley, The Perfect Pig, Stinky's Fish Camp, and Sunrise Coffee, you can take advantage of the area's best-kept dining secrets. After enjoying your morning coffee or a nice meal, enjoy a leisurely walk or quick bike ride to check out various boutique shopping stores to get some local flair for yourself or your loved ones.

WALTON COUNTY BEACH ACCESS: Key Points to Remember

Walton County offers more than 50 beach and bay access points, making it easy to enjoy the 26 miles of coastline. While you are welcome to traverse the wet sand along the entire shoreline, be mindful of private property. Below are five of the closest beach access options:

Lake Causeway Beach Access (directly across from the subdivision) – Ideal for quick visits and scenic walks but limited in space for extended stays.

Fort Panic Beach Access (0.7 miles west) – A county managed beach with a boardwalk, sea oats, and a spacious shoreline. Amenities include parking, bike racks, showers, and restrooms.

Topsail Hill Preserve State Park (2.6 miles west) – A stunning, unspoiled coastal preserve offering a peaceful and secluded beach experience. The park features over three miles of pristine white sandy beaches, towering dunes, rare coastal dune lakes, and scenic hiking trails but requires an entry fee. This is an excellent spot for nature lovers, offering opportunities for birdwatching, fishing, and exploring Florida’s unique ecosystems.

Dune Allen Beach (0.9 miles west) – A modest access point across from Stinky’s Fish Camp, featuring a newer restroom pavilion with multi-stall restrooms, outdoor showers, benches, and bike parking.

Ed Walline Beach (0.8 miles east) – A popular spot near Gulf Place, Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, and other local favorites. Features a covered pavilion with picnic tables, grills, and a second-floor balcony for Gulf views.

For more details on all beach access points, visit the Visit South Walton website.

Great house and location!

We had a wonderful family vacation at Seas the Day in Dune Allen. The house was very comfortable, pretty and had everything we needed. The location was perfect. We loved that we could easily walk or ride to the beach. If needed we could run back to the house. There was always enough room for us at the beach. The community pool was nice too! We also liked being close to Gulf Place. Really enjoyed being at this end of 30A.

Overall very nice

I was worried about the small beach front. We went down early at about 7am to set up our tent and there was usually already people set up at the front but we still had a good spot. There was always room for us. The beach is so pretty we didn’t go to any other beaches. The house was overall clean bathrooms/kitchen but the floor was still pretty dirty. We had enough towels but there was a small starter pack of 6 dish pods, small laundry detergent, we had to buy extra of both plus trash bags, paper towel, toilet paper etc Overall had a nice family vacay! It’s a good location easy to walk and the trail around oyster lake it pretty!

Great place to stay!

Great place to stay! We had 3 families! Beach is close and easy walk but the only downfall is the public access only allows about 30yds wide to setup between private owners and they don't play! We got up at 5am every morning to ensure we had a front row seat! Kids loved the bikes! Stayed during July 4th and it wasn't crowded at all!

Second Year at Seas the Day

This is our second year in a row staying at Seas the Day in mid-June. Clean and well-maintained. Very comfortable beds and 3 full baths. Really appreciate the starter pack of dish detergent and laundry detergent. We cooked most meals and had everything we needed. A new perk this year is the use of four bikes, which is great. Easy to get in touch with management if necessary.

Peaceful and Relaxing

We had such a wonderful stay in this lovely home. It is so peaceful and relaxing! It is so quiet sitting on the porch and watching the trees swaying in the breeze. And the beautiful ocean beach is just a 2 or 3 minute walk away. Makes me think how blessed we are for God to give us such beauty to behold!

Great Stay!

For the 2nd year in a row, this property was our home away from home for our annual family beach vacation. We had a great stay and will consider this property again for our next trip to the area.. Two ideas to improve the guest experience... 1. Replace the light fixture (or just the bulbs?) over the dining table. That area is too dark. 2. Remove the decorative glass jars in the bath on the main level and install a towel bar for hand towels next to the sink. A towel bar is also needed next to the sink in the hall bath upstairs.

Great Family Trip!

We enjoyed staying at this beach cottage! It’s very close to the beach. I’d say about a 5 minute easy walk. The beach area is public and it’s on the small side. The areas on either side of it is private and heavily monitored. We went down every morning about 9:30 or so to set up our umbrellas and chairs. Then we’d go back to the house and wait for everyone to get ready. We never experienced any issues with finding a good spot. We did notice other people being told to move if they were not within the public beach range. The beach house was comfortable and well equipped for a family of 8 including a toddler. Beds were extremely comfortable and bathrooms were spacious. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and utensils. We also used the grill one night for bbq One morning we took a walk down to Gulf Place where there are areas to shop and eat. It was an easy 10 minute walk even while strolling a toddler. There are 4 beach chairs and a wagon included which we used each day. However, we brought our own beach umbrellas and other beach items. All in all we had a great time visiting Santa Rosa Beach and staying in this beautiful house. Hope to come back again sometime.

Very Comfortable and Close to Beach Access

This house is much more private than it appears from the street. The back porch looks out onto Oyster Lake and is secluded by trees and vegetation. It is tucked back off 30A so no road noise—but it’s only a 2 minute walk to the public beach access. It’s a narrow public beach that is aggressively policed by the neighboring properties—so if you need to set up a base camp you need to be careful where you set up. This was a beautiful location—about halfway between Gulf Place and Topsail State Park. Much less crowded than the bigger access points across from Stinky’s and Gulf Place. We biked to Grayton Beach (twice) and Seaside and to Topsail State Park, but found our sliver of public beach to be the nicest and least crowded. We spent some time at a nearby public park with skating, soccer fields and a splash pad and lots of shade..We had five teens and they played soccer and rugby one evening on a shaded soccer field. Also played “foot golf” at Watersound. The house itself is extraordinarily comfortable for a rental. The beds are insanely comfy—all of them! The couches are also comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped—we cooked most nights. Huge pantry. Stocked with a small welcome kit so you can at least have coffee before getting groceries. And about that—don’t go to Publix on a Saturday afternoon or evening!!! Super crowded! Outdoor shower. Beach cart and chairs. Plenty of parking, although it’s a straight driveway and we had to rearrange cars a few times. Tastefully decorated and not outdated, and just flat out comfy as home!

Great family get away

We absolutely loved our stay. The house is even better in person. The kitchen is open and has everything you possibly need. The bed were comfortable. The location is fabulous with a short walk to the beach. We brought our bikes, and didn’t need to use the car for the entire week!

Early Thanksgiving with the family

My wife and I were pleasantly surprized with this house. The kitchen was better equipped than my own kitchen and with very nice utensils. Everything around the house worked fine including the jacuzzi tub which was a favorite with my wife. The beds were firm and comfortable and the whole house was inviting to us. My four grandsons slept well in the one bedroom with the two bunkbeds. We think that we made a good choice to select this vacation house for our 7 day stay. (Thanks also for the beautiful sunsets we enjoyed that God provided right across the street on the beautiful beach)!!

We enjoyed our week in Seas the Day despite the clouds and rain... thankfully we still got some beach time! Beach is a quick and easy walk. The home was in a quiet spot and had everything we needed - house was clean with comfy beds, kitchen was furnished with quality dishes and cookware, and our fur baby was happy to tag along. We’re already planning our next trip!

Great family getaway!

This home had just the right layout and amount of space for our family of 9. My wife and I appreciated the bedroom on the main level, which allowed our daughter and her family to use the large owner's suite upstairs. The back porch offered privacy and was a great place to hang out during the rain. The two minute walk to the beach was perfect and made it easy to run back to the room to grab lunch or take a break from the sun. We would stay at this property again if traveling to the same area.

This property was the cleanest I’ve stayed at in Florida in a long time. The beds were comfy. The WiFi worked well. Everything we needed was in the kitchen. They even supply more than one day worth of laundry soaps and such. My family had a wonderful time.

Great Location & Fun

We enjoyed our stay at Seas the Day. The location in proximity to the beach, pool, and restaurants and shopping was excellent. The beach, like most others on 30A, was a small strip of public beach with private beaches to either side. We did not have any problem with over crowding, even at the peak of vacation season. Because it was so close, we would go in the morning and set up our beach chairs (included with the house) and umbrellas (brought with us), and then we would head to the beach once our kids were up and around. We liked having a small, private feeling, back yard and used the grill for several meals. The pool was just a few houses away and was small but great for taking an occasional dip. There was some normal wear and tear on the house itself, but the beds were comfortable and the house easily accommodated 4 adults and 6 children. We had a great week at Santa Rosa Beach and would stay here again.
