A South Walton vacation is all about relaxing in a beautiful coastal oasis. Dune Betty is a beach vacation rental in Gulfview Heights in Santa Rosa Beach that helps you achieve just that!

With three bedrooms and two full baths, this charming beach home can host up to eight 30A vacationers.
Tucked in a secluded spot among coastal flora, guests immediately feel a sense of privacy upon arriving at this vacation residence. The first level is dedicated to covered parking and a refreshing private pool. The living and sleeping quarters are located on the second floor. Inside, the house is warm and welcoming, full of natural sunlight that filters in through large windows. A vaulted ceiling highlights the spaciousness of the open great room. The living room has a comfortable seating area with a white couch, matching loveseat, and two accent chairs. This setup faces a TV mounted on a chic coastal cabinet. Honey-toned floors flow seamlessly into the dining area, which features a table and six hardwood chairs. Between the living and dining rooms, a glass door opens onto a furnished screened-in patio, an extension of the home’s wraparound balcony. Back inside, the quaint kitchen has white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and ample storage and counter space.
The bedrooms are just as sunny as the main living area. Each room is colorfully painted and adorned with simple but elegant beach décor. In the primary suite, you will find a queen-size bed, desk, a flatscreen TV, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in shower.

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.

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.

Quiet Seaside Stay
We really enjoyed our stay! The location is fantastic, just a few minutes walk from the beach. The combination of outdoor space and indoor space was perfect for our family.

The property did have issues, the master bedroom mattress was damaged and the property management replaced it. The light and fan did not work on screen porch and it was repaired as well. It was an inconvenience to deal with while on vacay but the property management team handled it. Once the issues were resolved we were able to enjoy our vacay. Yes I would stay at this property again but would suggest that more lighting be installed outside.

Badly broken mattress, not fixed by mgmt, disappointing.
Bottom line, this rental would be five stars if the management company had actually done something to fix the badly broken mattress in the master bedroom. They emailed a "so sorry to hear, we've called maintenance", but never followed up with us, never told us if it would be fixed, and thus it was never fixed.
The mattress had a 2-inch deep, full-length tear in the top pad, exposing the springs and making it impossible to sleep on. We slept on the twin beds in the other room the other 4 nights. Very disappointing.
I hope this is fixed at least for the next guests!
A truly nice property otherwise, clean. Bathrooms were well kept.
There is only one 2-person bed. The other rooms have twin beds and bunk beds. If you have more than 2 adults, they will be sleeping on twins or bunks, FYI.

The perfect getaway
This house was perfection! It was decorated beautifully, conveniently located to a public beach access, and in an adorable area that was close to Seaside and Destin. We loved our stay here!
