Searching for a cheerful vacation home that has views of a pristine Coastal Dune Lake as well as the gorgeous jewel toned Gulf of Mexico? You can have it all in this delightful setting right on Scenic 30A in Dune Allen Beach. Laffy Taffy is a modern three bedroom home with two full baths, two half baths, and three stories of Old Florida nostalgic charm.

This Dune Allen Beach vacation home overlooks the glistening gulf towards the south and Oyster Lake to the north so can enjoy the best of both worlds. The location places you directly across the street from the beach walkover so you are a less than a minute to the white sand shore and are ready to luxuriate in the emerald Gulf waters.

The interiors of Laffy Taffy are both cozy and comfortable with a plush long couch that has an abundance of pillows and accent chairs in the main living area. A charming white table with four oval backed decorative chairs and a bench sits nearby to serve as the dining room. The bright creamy white kitchen has an open breakfast bar with four additional seats for the enjoyment of tasty seafood appetizers. A porch outside has additional seating where you may feel the rich salty breeze and hear the soothing sound of the surf when the waves are high.

Three nicely decorated bedrooms are upstairs and the spacious Primary Suite with a king sized bed has a nice balcony facing the glistening gulf as well as a private bathroom. The other Guest Bedrooms have balconies that look out upon the lovely lake. Upstairs on the third floor is a "Bonus Room" which serves as a nice den, has a rooftop Observation Deck where you may enjoy the special scenery. There is also a Queen Sleeper Sofa and Powder Room on this floor, ideal for visiting guest. Besides having the beach close by, the Beach Haven Cottages neighborhood has a private lakeside community pool which is just a short stroll away.

Galleries, seasonal festivals, unique boutiques, restaurants and lively bars are not far away.

Beyond Expectations
Laffy Taffy was beautiful all around. From the nice decor, lush towels and the many outdoor seating options. We loved the top deck which we referred to as the “Tip Top Lounge” where you can watch the ocean waves or catch the sunset. The property managers were amazing with their communication and we never once had a question as they continually sent information our way.

Love this property!
The location of this house is perfect. Directly across the street from beach access and the walk is very short. We had our toddler with us and the walking distance from the house to the beach was a breeze. Beautiful views from each level.The town is not over crowded but still had good restaurants and cute little shopping area. If you enjoy walks you can walk around the loop at the lake on the sidewalks. The property management team was great at communicating. We will be coming back soon!
