THE GULF FRONT SUNSET
Important Information

September 26, 2024, Hurricane Helene tore through Dekle Beach and completely destroyed many homes. Winds over 140 MPH and 16 feet storm surge which acted like a tidal wave. This means everything under 16 feet tall was underwater. The Gulf Front Sunset miraculously survived. The swing on the mezzanine was left suspended in the air with nothing underneath it. The main house above and everything inside were somehow undamaged and in pristine condition.
The staircases and the mezzanine are reconstructed Also, much repair has been done to the downstairs electrical and plumbing . The AC unit was washed away and is replaced.
Unfortunately, the two kayaks were washed away and have not replaced them. I will not renew the Directv. The new wifi company has the internet up and running faster and better. Bring your own passwords and watch Netflix, etc. If you have a youtubetv.com subscription, that is good , too. Any subscription you have at your home will work at the house.

Our 2 bedroom 1 bath house sits on high stilts directly overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Located in undiscovered Dekle Beach, Florida. It is a retreat from everything. It's a scalloper, Fishermen, birder and stargazers' delight We are about three miles up the coast from Keaton Beach. The home overhangs the Gulf, with the high tides lapping against the sea wall. The porch/deck looking out on the Gulf. Sunbathing is great right on the 3rd story wrap around deck. There is an open mezzanine floor between the house and the ground level with a hanging twin bed swing! Covered parking at ground level with three open bays. Great for grilling in a rain, baby cribs and lots of people room. Relax and read on the swinging bed on the mezzanine. You will enjoy breathtaking gulf views and fabulous sunsets.
There are 3 full bays open for cars and boats. NO AIRBOATS AT THE GULF FRONT SUNSET, sorry. No street parking. Steps down into the Gulf of Mexico! PETS(no more than 50 pounds each and no more than 2 pets.) are allowed, but message Martie, the owner, about them). Guests pay $10 a night for one or two pets on the honor system to the housekeeper, Kerri. Please leave cash in the envelope provided or just. on the table with your name on it. Thank you, Martie.

Great place especially for outdoor enthusiasts
This a great place to stay for birding, exploring area salt marshes and pine-palmetto woodlands. The home was very comfortable. It was lovely to be right on the water!!! We loved reading on the swing bed on the middle deck!

Quick getaway
This house was perfect for a getaway while looking at the area for retirement. The owner was very wasy to work with, even allowed me to add two extra days at the last minute. If you're looking for a location with a great sunset, this is the house. The daily sunsets where amazing.

Perfect location! Beautiful home!
One of our best family vacations, four children ages 9 to 12 loved kayaking, snorkeling and scalloping. Best sunsets and night sky we have ever seen. Wonderful gulf breeze for almost our entire stay! We will be back, hopefully sooner than later.

Great little place!
We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book again. The house was quaint and had everything we needed. We enjoyed using the kayaks and the kids LOVED chasing and catching crabs. Neighbors are friendly and view was amazing! Martie was attentive to our needs and quick to answer any questions we had.

With out a doubt... fantastic location, views and accommodations.
Quite simply put, this is a great get-away place to unwind. The sunset view with dragon flies on patrol in abundance combined with location puts this vrbo home on our top 3 list. Our host did a follow up to insure we made it in and to insure we found everything to make this a enjoyable start to a great weekend. Thank you again for listing in vrbo and sharing your home.

Overall it was a nice place but there were no outside lights. Had to use the flashlight on our phones to go down the steps.

Nice quiet experience
Exactly what i was looking for. Secluded quiet and far away from your urban noise. The only downside is that you have to discard the garbage on a public dumpster about 15 min away. But I guess it's a small price to pay if you want to be away from the crowd.
