Description

In delightful Dune Allen Beach, this classic beachfront vacation home has four bedrooms with enough sleeping accommodations to sleep up to ten gulf-goers. Goodnight Dune sits upon a bright crystalline dune, steps away from its own stretch of shore overlooking the glowing jewel toned gulf. The home's front looks out across Scenic 30A onto Oyster Lake, which is a precious natural treasure filled with fish and fowl.  A wraparound balcony on this raised home takes full advantage of this great observation point with multiple views of the sensational scenery. Part of it is an open sundeck that spans across the entire beachside of this home with a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, and a grill. This invites guests to enjoy the views and listen to the soothing surf sounds while sharing favorite drinks along with some savory barbeque.

The open living area, dining, kitchen, and bedrooms are all on the raised second-floor level. The spacious look is accentuated by luxury vinyl plank flooring and a wall of windows with double glass doors in the center framing the glittering gulf. The comfortably appointed interiors feature a blend of fashionable Vintage Modern and beach-inspired cottage styled furnishings. Stylish décor includes nautical accents, prints of colorful fish, and beach scenes throughout. A plush tufted latte colored wraparound couch on one side of the living area and a beige couch that doubles as queen sleeper sofa face the beachfront views as well as a flatscreen TV for visual entertainment. Nearby a rich honey-toned hardwood picnic table provides a charmed casual dining ensemble. The open kitchen includes veined white quartz countertops, custom live-edge shelving, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of cabinet space.

The Master Bedroom Suite and an adjacent Guest Bedroom both feature king-sized beds and have individual access to a balcony with lovely views of the coastal dune lake. The Master Bedroom also has a full en suite bath with a vintage-tiled walk-in shower. Another nice Guest Bedroom has a queen-sized bed while a bunk room with a twin over full bed and a twin trundle. The Guest Bedrooms have access to a full hall bath that doubles as a convenient powder room.

Besides spending quality time at the beautiful beach, paddle boarding, or kayaking on Oyster Lake and trying your luck fishing, this locale offers lots to do. Dune Allen Beach serves as the western gateway to the wonderful world of life along Scenic 30A. Picture perfect coastal villages are a short distance away, which provides fun family adventures. The Santa Rosa Beach village center of Gulf Place is less than two minutes away, featuring an array of dining spots, friendly bars, galleries, fashion boutiques, seasonal festivals, and open-air concerts. Two popular restaurants are within walking distance. The Vue on 30A is part of the old established Santa Rosa Beach Club with Floridian as well as Caribbean seafood fare elegantly served from a dining room with superb views of the gulf from high atop a sugary dune. Another popular restaurant is called Stinky's Fish Camp, and despite the strange name, it serves fresh-caught seafood with daily specials displayed on a chalkboard. This place looks like a Southern fish camp with lots of hardwood, high ceilings, a wide selection of beer, and ample wine variety.

I come to Destin every year for a family vacation and this house was perfect. Very well located and very easy and close to the beach

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Goodnight Dune was the perfect fit for your annual Destin-area getaway. This Gulf-front home along Scenic 30A offers one of the best locations for easy beach access and family time, and we're so glad it delivered. We look forward to welcoming you back with Ocean Reef Resorts on your next trip!

Spacious Home with Amazing Views & Easy Beach Access!
The home was great! Just as shown in the pictures. Great back deck, close to the beach with incredible views. Plenty of space for our entire family. Love the location. Ocean Reef was easy to work with and made the entire process easy to check in and depart. We will stay there again.
Mike H from Edwards, CO - Stayed February 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that the home was exactly as pictured and provided plenty of space for your family to enjoy. The back deck, stunning views, and prime location near the beach truly make for a special stay. It's great to know that Ocean Reef Resorts made the check-in and departure process seamless for you. We'd love to welcome you back for another memorable stay on 30A!

The online pictures really do not do justice for this property. This is an amazing place to stay. Right on the beach and lots of privacy. I will be back!!

Our Stay 2024
This property is perfect. The location is perfect. The appliances are great and the dishes, silverware, glasses are plenty. The beach was amazing. We spent almost every day on the beach. We only ate out 2 out of 7 nights. A short walk to the village has so much to offer as. We went to the Gularium and the Gulf Breeze Zoo. The whole time, this property is like a 2nd home. I highly recommend this property for a comfortable vacation!!!

Great Family Christmas Gathering
Spacious, beachfront, convenient, well equipped, Perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. We had a wonderful time and will be returning. My only suggestion is it would have been nice if the property had a burn permit so we could have had a beach bonfire.

Goodnight Dune and Ocean Reef are AMAZING!
Ocean Reef is the only place to rent from in the Destin/Santa Rosa Beach/30-A area. The houses are like being home. Everything you need is there. They are clean, modern and vacation ready. Their houses on the 30a beachfront have become our family tradition. We feel at home in their rentals and the staff is beyond welcoming and helpful.

Perfect location
This house was very clean, updated, had all the supplies you need (grill, blender, coffee makers, etc, chairs and umbrella for beach, bikes). Best of all though is the location on the beach. Can’t be beat!

Beautiful home
This was a beautiful property inside and out, and had exactly what we needed. Everything was clean when we arrived, and the beds were so comfortable! We couldn’t ask for anything more than that view and proximity to the beach ! Thank you so much!
