Top of the Dunes

Enjoyed our stay. Great location with private beach access. We enjoyed the quaint tight knit development. The only thing we really noticed that was not great was master bathroom shower was hard/semi-dangerous to get in and out of. Great house overall. We’d book again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the great location, private beach access, and the charm of the community. We also appreciate you bringing the master bathroom shower to our attention. We’ll have it reviewed to see how we can make getting in and out safer and more comfortable. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home overall and would book with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back! 😊

Cute little neighborhood right by the beach! Keeping up with beach fobs was a bit difficult but we loved the pool and the area. Would stay again!

Thanks so much, Ashlynn! We’re so happy you loved the neighborhood, pool, and beach access — it really is such a great spot! Totally get that the beach fobs can be a bit tricky to keep up with, but we’re glad it didn’t take away from your stay. We’d love to have you back anytime!

We love the location. Beach access was super easy. Wish there was one or 2 more fobs but we hid them in bushes for the rest of our party to use by the beach gate. Each bedroom having a bathroom was great. The master doesn’t really have a master bath per se but it was fine for us. We would def stay here again. The 8 kids w us biked to seaside and food and ice cream and came and went to the beach and pools without us.

The house was absolutely perfect! So very nice and a great location. I would absolutely stay here again. We did have some issues getting into the house but once it was figured out everything was wonderful!

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I hope you were able to check out both of our local pools. Seaside is super close, and I just love the cute shops and great restaurants. See you all next time!

the whole house was perfect for our group of 6 adults and 5 children. the whole house was clean and spotless which is saying alot for a beach rental. it's a quick 5 min walk to the private beach or 5 min walk to the public beach access. the manager was quick to respond and even was able to give us an early check-in. I will definitely book this rental again next time I come to 30A

Thank you so much. We enjoyed hosting you. I love how close we are to the beach. Then if it's a windy day you have the pool. We cannot wait to host you again.

Place was clean and nice and the pictures matched the experience. The only thing missing from the place was bikes (4) mentioned in the description but they give a discount on local rentals. Managers were responsive and really accommodating. Made for an easy stay and in-and-out.

The house was perfect for our group of Mom’s and sons. We had plenty of room to spread out and the walk to the beach was basically 0.10 of a mile away. The pool is 2 houses down. Perfect!

We had 2 families (4 grownups and 7 kids) staying at this house and it served our needs well. We especially liked how there was a bathroom for every bedroom. The thing that we loved the most was the proximity to the beach. It was a very easy walk, even with little people! We were disappointed to find that the pool closest to the house was not heated, however we overheard a local realtor during a showing across the street that the other neighborhood pool was heated (this wasn’t in any of our home instructions, so we were happy to get this insider tip!)

Liked that every bedroom had a bath attached. Close to the pool and beach. Kitchen well stocked.

Great place for multi family groups! The two parking spots are tight for full sized vehicles. But Easy street parking on Eastern Lake Road (runs in front of house). Very quiet, no street or neighbor noise. Having access to community pools is great, such an easy walk to beach. We have stayed on beach and off beach and really liked ability to get out of the ocean winds at the pool and our porches. House was well stocked with kitchen gadgets and small appliances. Blow dryers in bathrooms. Walk in showers on first and third floor. We rented bikes and rarely drove. Old Florida Fish House and Steamboat Grill are just a few blocks away-easy walk. It could use a good sweeping, but not terrible. It’s vacation! You will enjoy this house!

I would propose renaming this home to "Top of My List"...because that is where it will be when I plan my future vacations. We have been coming to Seagrove for over 10 years and this was one of the nicest homes we have had the opportunity to stay in. The house had everything we could possibly want to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. The walk to the beach takes less than 45 seconds- super easy when you are hauling all of your beach gear. Kitchen is fully stocked with every appliance/utensil you could ever need. Brand new gas grill that we unfortunately never had the chance to use. The den area off the kitchen is super cozy and the hang out spot for the entire family to relax before bedtime. HELPFUL TIP! I recommend renting two chairs and an umbrella to hold your spot on the beach (the beach umbrella company sets up at 5:45am...do yourself a favor and sleep in knowing they are reserving a front row spot for you!!) $40 a day, or $30 a day if you commit to the week. Justin at Emerald Cost Vacation Rentals is TOP NOTCH, and represents the homeowner well with excellent customer service. And the homeowner was very responsive to any questions we relayed thru Justin. Look no further, and move Top of the Dunes to the top of your list. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We've just returned from spring break at Top of the Dunes. I've rented in Seagrove for years and have never stayed in a house so well-designed and well-equipped! For a large group, this house has the perfect plan for everyone to have plenty of space together and apart. The décor was beautiful and comfortable and the kitchen was equipped with everything we could possibly need. We had a great week!

We recently stayed at this property and thoroughly enjoyed it! The layout of the home accommodated the ten of us. The home was clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. Our only concern was that the double bunk beds were very short. I would say that anyone over age 11(or 5'2"+) would not be comfortable sleeping in the bunks on the third floor. Also, I would suggest that you rent the beach chairs/umbrella and not wag your own down to the beach. Overall, however, we loved this beach house. We wish we were back at Top O' The Dunes right now!

We have updated the bunks on the 3rd floor. Two out of the four beds have been upgraded to full size twin beds.
