Description

This raised coastal-inspired vacation home with three bedrooms is bright and spacious, offering the ability to sleep eight carefree guests. It has an outstanding location in the Gulfview Heights neighborhood tucked away on the beachside of Scenic 30A with a brand new heated private pool and updated interior! This rental property is only about a three-minute stroll away from the sugary shoreline. The neighborhood beach access includes a picnic pavilion and convenient bathroom facilities with showers for sandy feet. This beach is very special because it connects directly to Draper Lake. Coastal Dune Lakes of this kind are a rare natural treasure and found hardly anyplace else on our planet. A creek-like estuary crosses the dunes over to the gulf, creating a magical mixture of artisan-fed spring and salted waters through ongoing tide changes. This mixture creates a habitat for an abundant amount of wildlife and a wide variety of fish. Besides enjoying the beautiful beach, many guests kayak or paddleboard on the lovely lake to fish and explore its natural beauty. Here, one can spot Great Blue Herons, Snowy White Egrets, Osprey Falcons, and the occasional American Bald Eagle.

Dune Betty is quite inviting with a raised balcony walkway extends around the front and two sides leading back to a large sun deck. It has a private setting overlooking the trees, an umbrella table with seating, lounge chairs, and a grill for fun outdoor entertainment. The expansive open living area filled with natural light looks out upon this deck with walls of windows and a glass door that leads outside. This living area also features a soaring vaulted ceiling and light honey-toned hardwood flooring throughout that accentuates the spacious look. Creamy white furnishings include a couch, love seat, a hardwood-topped table, and two cozy accent chairs. A flat-screen TV on the other side of the room sits on a chic beach-washed credenza for evening entertainment. A charming dining area near the extended wall of windows off the kitchen includes a maple wood country table flanked by six festive cherry-red hardwood chairs with white cushioned seats. The ample kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, white custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a white subway tile backsplash.

The serene colored Primary Bedroom includes a queen-sized bed and private ensuite bath with a glass-walled walk-in shower. As for the Guest Bedrooms, one includes twin bunks while the other features two twin beds. One is completed in lovely light green toned interiors, while the other is done in a soothing pale blue. They have access to a full hall bath with a separate vanity area and a tub-shower combination.

When you are not relaxing at the beach or splashing around in the private pool, this Santa Rosa Beach locale is near popular restaurants, friendly beach bars, and delightful amusements. Many of them are very close by at the coastal village center of Gulf Place. It features restaurants with casual bars, caterers, coffee shops, fashion boutiques, specialty shops, and galleries. A grassy palm-lined amphitheater in its center provides a perfect place to enjoy live outdoor musical concerts, various art shows, and fun festivals held throughout the year. It is also just minutes away from other enchanting coastal villages along this scenic route like iconic Seaside, including dining establishments, bars, shopping adventures, amphitheater concerts, and fun festivals.

Everything was absolutely perfect.
Loved our vacation at this house. Everything looked great and felt very cozy. We really enjoyed the pool and the very top deck for relaxing! The guest portal made it easy to check in and check out. Loved the message reminders about trash and what to do before departing which was super simple and easy to do! We hope to be able to rent this property for future beach trips to Florida. Loved the atmosphere and the quick walk to the beach from this house!

Perfect home for the entire family
We loved it! Our group ranged from 4 months to 65 years old, and everyone was very comfortable and happy staying at this property. It is so beautiful especially the covered patio. It is in a quiet neighborhood with very friendly neighbors and a super easy walk to the beach. My disabled grandfather walked there many times! What I loved most was that it didn’t feel like a rental home but a distant relatives home. Everyone wanted to come back upon departing. Ocean Reef has been a great company to deal with, and thank you to the owners for sharing your gorgeous space with us.
Amilya T from Savannah, GA - Stayed May 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review of Dune Betty! We’re delighted that guests of all ages in your family were comfortable and happy throughout their stay. It’s especially rewarding to know the home felt warm and welcoming, more like a family retreat than a vacation rental, and that everyone enjoyed the beautiful covered patio, quiet neighborhood, and easy walk to the beach. Thank you for your kind words about Ocean Reef Resorts and the homeowners. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back to the beach again soon!

Great location
Great location close to the beach. Our young children enjoyed the house and pool. We loved the porch for coffee and breakfast. Try the Perfect Pig (20 minute walk) for a great lunch or amazing donuts.

Thank you for the great review of Dune Betty! We’re so glad you enjoyed the fantastic location, easy access to the beach, and that the house and pool were a hit with your family.

Great Trip
We had a great time at this property. We love this location and have been staying in this area for 14 years. The best part about this property was the screened in porch. We spent much time on the porch for meals and coffee.

The house was absolutely gorgeous and we were provided with various amenities that were extremely useful.
Having the towels, dishsoap, and clothes washing pods allowed for us to keep the house clean and not worry about going and buying these items during our vacation. The Guest Portal was also extremely easy to use, I had acess to everything that I needed during my stay and didn't feel like I had to disturb the owner with questions.
Trae Y from Jack AL - Stayed March 2024
Thank you for the wonderful review of Dune Betty! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beautiful home and found the provided amenities and Guest Portal helpful throughout your stay.
