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 to getaway
Overall a pleasant stay. The perfect launching point for anglers of every type. The area always is great for fishing. Was unsure on the boatramp and channel depth but the taylor co. ramp was a short ride down the road.

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.

Really Wonderful View
The gulf is right there! Great view with NO people in front. At high tide the gulf is literally right down the steps. Plenty of deck space. Older beachy-kitsch style, so if you’re the modern condo type this may not be for you. I liked seeing all the beach stuff on the walls, etc. Kitchen had everything I needed, which is saying something. Place was clean. Bed was very comfortable. I did not have any problems with my back at all. Note to city folk - This is sort of a middle of nowhere area and there are no close stores or restaurants. Bring everything you think you’ll need with you because you can’t just pop out & buy it. You have to pack out your own garbage (like camping) because there is NO garbage service, so you either have to make a trip to the dump or take it with you. That was the only negative for me, and it wasn’t a big deal. I’d definitely stay here again because I really enjoyed the peace & quiet. I loved seeing only water from the deck or even just lookin out the patio doors, and I liked seeing so many birds too.

Our short stay at Dekle Beach
My wife and I had just an overnight stay at at this home. The owner checked in with us before our arrival and it was clear that she actively managed her property and I mean this in a good way. The pictures of the home are very accurate. Certainly no one will mistake this for a luxury property, but I don’t believe that is the intention. It is very homey and cozy and is not a typical sterile Vrbo listing. The house is right on the gulf and in a small coastal neighborhood of similar homes. We happened to have an amazing wind and rain storm the night we stayed over and the house tolerated the storm very well. Overall, we had an excellent and somewhat unique experience for us norteasterners who we’re headed south toward warmer climes. We appreciated the owner accommodating us for just a one night stay and can strongly recommend the property.

This property is amazing. The home is easy to access and has the best 2nd level bed swing. It’s perfect for a family getaway for rest and relaxation. The sunsets are worth the stay. Bring some wine and enjoy yourself. The bedrooms are comfy and the bathroom is huge. We will be staying again. About 20 min to Perry or to Steinhatchee.
