Lakefront home on dune lake connected to Gulf/Short paddle ride or walk to beach



HOME AND SETTING: Burning Daylight is a custom home set on a rare coastal dune lake that looks out to the Gulf. We have provided the perfect spot and all of the essentials to relax and enjoy family time while having easy access to all that 30A has to offer. Hop on a kayak or stand-up-paddle board (provided for your use) and explore the lake and surrounding areas. All the beach gear you need is in the garage. Just pack your bathing suit.

TRUE BY OWNER RENTAL-This is a family owned and operated home. Our goal is to provide a five-star experience. We want to operate the kind of rental we would like to find on our vacation. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

NOT SO HUMBLE BRAG-->-->-->

For a real taste of what it's like to stay at Burning Daylight, enter key search terms under our reviews for common answers to your questions. "Walk to the beach" "Cleanliness" "location" "amenities". We're happy to have our guests do the bragging for us.

Triple master and Bunk Room design, a stay at Burning Daylight ensures private luxury baths for all and dedicated adult, kid and family spaces.

Each suite includes a private bath and sweeping lake views to watch the sunrise and sunset. Each room is also equipped with blinds, flat screen TVs and wifi, in case sunrises and sunsets aren't your thing.

Suite 1 - First Floor. King bed with private bathroom and zero entry shower

Suite 2 - Second Floor. King bed with private bath with tub

Suite 3 - Second floor. King bed with private bath with tub

Bunkroom - 5 twin captain beds with attached bath with two shower and large three faucet sink

The upstairs living area offers a second spot for gathering or to escape for a quiet moment on the couch while enjoying views of Eastern Lake and the Gulf. Read a book, watch TV, play a game or just take a nap.

The Bunk Room sleeps five with custom built-in luxury bunks which include personal reading lights, a charging station and private storage for each occupant. The wall-mounted flat screen ensures all Bunk Room occupants have a perfect view, although sleep will overcome the most avid young television watcher after a day on the pristine Gulf Coast beaches.

The Bunk Room bathroom has a private WC, two showers with private changing areas and a triple-faucet trough sink, offering the perfect blend of private and shared spaces for young guests.

Burning Daylight's gourmet kitchen is outfitted with two full-size refrigerators, two quiet dishwashers and a top of the line four-burner gas stove. Coffee and cocktail stations are located in the butler's pantry, ensuring adequate space for the most avid cooks and those preparing and consuming cocktails. Carrera marble tops the center island, large enough for your whole group to gather around. The kitchen is fully stocked with a wide range of appliances and dinnerware for your group and any visitors. Seated meals for thirteen enjoy lake views.

The screened-in side porch offers a covered outdoor living and dining space large enough for al fresco dining, entertaining or gaming.

The beach is a short walk, less than 5 minutes on foot with PUBLIC BEACH ACCESS at the outfall. Or, launch in one of the included water conveyances from the dock and paddle to the outfall where the Gulf and lake meet. Kids can swim in the protected pool at the intersection of Gulf and lake water.

Burning Daylight guests can rinse off after a day at the beach in the private outdoor shower and drop towels and bathing suits off in the sand room to take advantage of the full-size washer and dryer. Enjoy a game of ping pong in the garage while your bathing suit is on the spin cycle.

Burning Daylight sits on Eastern Lake, one of the 14 rare dune lakes that dot the 30A landscape. Easily explore all of 30A from Grayton Beach to Rosemary Beach and everywhere in-between. Seaside and all of the resort communities are an easy bike ride or short car ride away. Burn daylight shopping, dining and exploring the amenities each of these communities have to offer and then return to Burning Daylight's outdoor deck, where there's room for your whole group to watch the remaining daylight burn over the lake and the Gulf simultaneously.

We had an absolutely incredible stay and can’t recommend this home enough! Being right on the dune lake with direct access to the beach was truly a dream. Waking up to the peaceful views each morning and being just steps away from both the lake and the Gulf made for the perfect vacation.The home was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing week. The location simply can’t be beat, and we loved how easy it was to enjoy the beach while also experiencing the unique beauty of the dune lake.This was one of our favorite family vacations, and we’ve already decided we’ll be booking this home again next year. If you’re looking for the perfect Santa Rosa Beach getaway, this is it!

We’ve stayed at several different properties along 30A over the years and this has by far been our favorite! The location is perfect, giving you the best of both worlds with lake and beach front access. The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The bunk room for our 5 kids was a big hit! Added bonus having 2 washers/dryers, dishwashers and fridges. The garage is well stocked with everything we needed for the beach. The kids loved using the kayaks around the lake and fishing from the dock. Andra was a great host and easy to communicate with. We are already planning our next trip!

This home was ideal for our family. The bed in the primary BR now faces the lake, so when you wake, you're looking out on Eastern lake and seeing the fish jump! It was fun to have bags/corn hole and ping ping, and the kayak to use. Also, the convenience of being able to walk to the Beachy Bean for coffee or pizza was enjoyable. The walk to the beach was quick and easy too-such a great neighborhood, we'd love to return!

The host was very quick to respond and the cinnamon rolls upon arrival were a thoughtful touch. We will definitely be back!

We have been coming to the Destin area for 37 years and we have never stayed in this area so was a new adventure for our family. We had 6 adults and 5 kids. We didnt know what to expect but I can tell you this was the best family vacation we have ever had. Our adult kids and grandkids said we will not stay anywhere else again. This house is amazing and has everything you need for the beach and kitchen is supplied with all you need and more. The two dishwashers and refrigerators in the kitchen was awesome. The beds were comfortable and the bunk room for the grands and upstairs area was fantastic for them. The lake and the kayaks were a huge hit. The grands enjoyed jumping off the dock and swimming in the lake. The beach was a short walk but we had a golf cart that we rented which was a life saver. Last but not least Adrian the host was amazing and can’t say enough about how they take care of this property and she went above and beyond can’t thank her enough for her attention to detail and how responsive she was. We will be renting this property many times in the years to come God willing. Thank you for a great trip and sharing your home. The Malones, Wrisingers and Robinson’s.

This house is fantastic! Adorably appointed, fully stocked with everything you will need, and in such a great location. You cannot beat the water views from every room and the high end finishes. You feel like you are sitting right on the lake. The host is very helpful and has truly made it feel like a vacation oasis. We appreciated that we didn’t need to bring a single thing for the beach and the use of all the lake toys made the experience so fun for the kids. Short walk to the beach was so easy with back pack chairs and large wagon. Everything feels new and clean. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Can’t overemphasize how well appointed this place is for groups, especially those including the children. The kitchen has everything you need to cook for large groups, from two refrigerators and dishwashers to high quality cooking utensils, knives, etc. The upstairs has a bunk room with multiple beds and a bathroom with multiple showers making it very easy for groups traveling with multiple children. We’ll definitely be back.
