Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Yearly Santa Rosa family get together was perfect. The home had all that we needed and was clean and comfortable. The home is steps away from the beach, located behind a beach front home but it still has unobstructed views.

Johnson family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is my 56th year vacationing on Dune Allen beach.....I’m very familiar with the beauty of this beach and it is one that holds many many memories from my life since my own childhood. We are now into the fourth generation of family at this beach, having stayed in dozens of rentals by dozens of extended family members.The Proctor house was rented by my aunt several summers over 30 years ago. It is reminiscent of the old style Florida beach houses built after the cinder block ones. It is a lovely and spacious house, and we enjoy the space for family meals. There are some pieces of furniture which need attention as they are a bit wobbly...tables and chairs. I personally like the antiques which furnish the house. However, if I may be honest, there is a bit too much clutter decor, seashells and personal items which disallow us to us some of the spaces....but we appreciate the size of the spaces to gather with family and friends on our trip.I would like to know if the bedspreads and the sofa covers are cleaned in between renters.....we try to respect the furnishings but I am hopeful that they are washed for each family....I would recommend this rental to others who appreciate the space it provides....PS...I am from Lafayette, La, not Baton Roige...

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt review—and for being part of the Dune Allen Beach story for an incredible 56 years! It’s truly special to hear about the generations of memories your family has made here, and we’re honored that the Proctor house could be part of that tradition. It looks like the review may have been posted under Aquarius, but we believe it was meant for the Proctor House—and we’re so glad you stayed there! We’re glad the spacious layout worked well for your family meals and gatherings, and we appreciate your thoughtful comments about the furnishings and decor. We’ll definitely take a closer look at the wobbly furniture and consider how to better balance charm with functionality in the shared spaces. Regarding your question about cleanliness: yes, the bedspreads and sofa covers are cleaned between guests. We understand how important that is for comfort and peace of mind, and we’re committed to maintaining high standards. And thank you for the correction—we’ll make sure your hometown is noted properly as Lafayette, LA! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back for many more years of memories.

Wonderful long weekend! The home was just right for our group of 5 adults, but could hold more people. Very clean and had a terrific ocean view and easy beach access!

Nice Little Beach House

Place was as advertised and worked perfectly for our 2 families and 3 kids for a total of 7 people. Beach is right there which is really all you need to enjoy your time at this property. Would definitely return.

The only problem we had with the property is the down stairs bedroom.

The property is in a great location. The cleanliness and property management are fantastic. The only issue we had was the downstairs bedroom/bathroom. It says nothing in the articles about the house, that the room is barely big enough for the bed and the bathroom being separate. You have to walk outside across the breezeway to access the bathroom. Might be ok for teenagers, but not for adults... There isn't much bedroom storage for clothing. Some of us had to live out of our bags for the week. Overall the house was great and we had a fabulous time.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed this beautiful house and great location! Yes, we do advertise that there is a fifth "bonus" bedroom with full-size bed located at ground level that has its own downstairs entrance. We apologize if you were not aware of this when you made your reservation. Despite the above, we are glad you enjoyed the house and beach and we hope to welcome you back again soon!

Aquarius

Stay was great, property management was fantastic and very helpful. Only complaint is the 3rd bathroom was not connected to main area and don’t think that was clearly stated. It did say it was on lower level but didn’t realize would have to go outside to get to it.

Great Beach Getaway!

This was a sort of last minute trip for our family and we sure did luck out with our rental of the Aquarius property! It was absolutely wonderful. The house, beach and location were perfect for our mixed group of newlyweds and parents with teenage kids. The layout of Aquarius is perfect with each of the four bedrooms having wonderful views of the ocean and lakes and a main living area in the middle of the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with ample dishes, pots, pans, kitchen gadgets, etc. The. screened in porch had various setting options and the pier/walk way was equipped with 2 feet showers and 1full shower. Santa Rosa is a lovely beach community perfect for families. We hope to return again soon. Thank you!
