This seafoam blue coastal escape radiates Southern charm with its crisp white balconies and charming picket fence. Just steps from the shoreline, the home blends upscale comfort with breezy beach living.

Step inside and be welcomed by sunlit interiors adorned in soothing beach hues and elevated by tasteful decorative accents. The main floor features a spacious open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area—perfect for gathering with friends and family. The gourmet kitchen boasts an oversized island that seats 6 and a peninsula that also seats 6, stainless steel appliances, modern fixtures, and ample room for culinary creativity. The adjacent dining table seats 8, positioned to take in beach views from the wall of windows. The first-floor bunk room is a kid’s paradise with 4 built-in twin-over-twin bunk beds, while the living room offers a plush pull-out sofa to sleep 2 more guests.

This serene sanctuary also includes a dog crate for your single approved pup. The two additional king bedrooms each boast private ensuite bathrooms with sleek, modern showers, plush bedding, and a calming coastal atmosphere to recharge and unwind. The magic of After Dune Delight continues outside. Both upper and lower balconies offer beautiful Gulf views, inviting you to unwind in the shade with the sights and sounds of the sea just beyond.

Our host was responsive and kind, the house is gorgeous, has a ton of room, comfortable beds and furniture, and a stellar kitchen. The view from the top deck was lovely, and you can see plenty of ocean. The walk to the beach is only a few hundred feet. We loved our time here and would more than happily stay again! ##### Victoria H.
