Nice

Great location on the beach, but please be advised although the rental is pet friendly, Inlet beach is not. Permits are available to homeowners and resident, not to renters. Spoke to a couple that said the permit number was provided by the owner. Not this one.

Another great week in Inlet Beach

We've rented this house quite a few times over the past 25 years and have accumulated many happy memories here. This week was pure relaxation. The house has been updated nicely and we liked the beach chairs and umbrellas that were set up for us every morning. The casual, relaxed vibe of the house is still the same and the location is unbeatable. You truly "cannot get closer to the beach".

Needed some R&R

The home is beautiful and the views are breathtaking! We enjoyed the view while having coffee in the morning on the patio. We enjoyed being able to go for walks/run and easy access to 30A. Hope to come back soon.

Girls Trip

This house is amazing!!! It's right on the beach, so you can just sit on the porch and enjoy the ocean! We have been renting this house for 24 years and it's our absolute favorite in the 30A area! The owners are super nice and easy to work with. All my friends that have come down throughout the years love this place!! I highly recommend it!

Fantastic vacation

We stayed at this property and we were more than happy. From the front steps to the ocean was maybe 30 yards. The water was incredibly clear. The provided beach chairs were just icing on the cake. From the covered front porch to the upstairs deck to the living area in the house the views and the sounds of the ocean waves were mesmerizing. Large bed rooms and a furnished kitchen nothing else was needed. Location location location. This is the place to be with its own private beach.

Great location

This house is in a great location... steps from the beach. Jay, the umbrella man, was great! provided chairs & umbrellas daily for us as well as a bon fire and s'mores. The kitchen was well stocked including the gas grill that came in handy. The only thing that could stand for some improvement is the sofa and a few of the mattresses. They should probably be updated. Very lumpy and uncomfortable. Overall, a great place on the beach.

Perfect location

We had a great stay at Inlet Beach! The home is the perfect Florida beach house. It doesn’t get better than being right on the beachfront and beach setups are provided making vacation life so easy. We even scheduled a bonfire with Jay which was great. Home is well stocked. Extra fridge in the garage was nice to have. The views from the porches are amazing and it’s a short walk down to the dune lake at Camp Helen. We rented bikes and it was an easy ride into Rosemary Beach. Will definitely return. My only suggestions are to replace the upstairs carpeting with a more beach friendly solid flooring and ditch the extra cribs in the bedrooms.

Always a wonderful stay

Great location and wonderful host Damon was very attentive and easy to communicate with. House has lots of everything you need. Only wish bedrooms had queen beds and just provided pac n play bedding for little ones instead of full baby beds.

Fabulous location - toes in the sand

Our family loved the house and location! It was so close to the ocean - literally toes in the sand when you step off the porch!! It has a pool located close and close to town. The only issue was wishing there were more either queen or king size beds because we have taller people in our family. Everything worked in the house and Damon was good to respond back to us! Jay was very helpful and put chairs out plus checked on us. We also enjoyed the Cafe Aroma- donuts, coffee and ice cream. We also took a sunset tour with Paradise Adventures and loved it - enjoyed our captain and co-captain Nolan & Courtney!

Best Location

It’s all about location, and this property has it. In over 30 years of vacationing in Florida, we have never been this close to the beach…5 steps down the back porch, 2 steps across a stone pathway and voila. Your toes feel the warm, white sand of beautiful Inlet Beach. And, what makes this beach spot so great is that the Gulf of Mexico is very close by. Sitting on the back porch one afternoon listening to the waves crashing in was just heaven. Props to Jay for setting up our chairs and umbrellas each and every day of our stay. If you want the beach, this is the place!!!

Fantastic House on Quiet Beach

The process from check in to check out was simple and easy. We’ve stayed almost everywhere From Destin to PCB and this is our favorite spot. Multiple families had plenty of room and you can’t beat being able to walk right out to the beach. The beach area was very quiet and we had no problem getting the same spot every day. Beach chairs and umbrellas were an added plus that most places make you pay for.

About the host

Hosted by Damon Dismukes

We built this house in the mid 80's to enjoy family and rent when we were not using the house. It was built for vacationing and enjoying the beach.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

Inlet Beach is the perfect get away for families or multiple families. The property has a state park less than half a mile east with a large coastal dune lake that is accessible from the beach. Lots of beach that you do not share with many people. Quiet but not far from many activities such as shopping and dining.
