A full size washer and dryer are also located on the second floor for your convenience. We provide complimentary high-speed internet if you do have to work or study remotely during your stay. We also have a wifi printer in the master bedroom. In the back yard, we provide a propane gas BBQ grill and grilling tools for your cooking enjoyment. We do ask that, if you do use the grill, you please clean the grill for the next guest prior to your departure. Thank you for doing this for those that come after you, just as it was done for you before your arrival. We provide six beautiful Priority Coast cruiser bikes with baskets that are included with the house (save a lot of money by not having to rent bikes!). You'll get the code to the bike locks once you book. The bikes are on a rack in the front of the house. New for 2024, we also have a brand new street legal, six person electric golf cart that you can rent (only $525/week extra through Turo) for your stay. It’s got lights, sound system, premium seating, and a fold down back seat that is perfect for hauling the beach chairs, umbrellas, and your cooler (all of which we provide) to the beach - 5 mins away! We also provide six beach chairs and three beach umbrellas included with the beach house. The closest beach access is Stallworth Lake (no toilets/showers), and the next closest (with toilets/showers) is Walton Beach Access, which is just a 5 minute drive (your car or our optional golf cart) from the house. You're just minutes from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Cypress Dunes and its surroundings areas are perfect to explore on a bike. Miles of paved trails along the beaches of South Walton are ideal for biking during your visit to Cypress Dunes. There are over 18 miles of scenic 30-A bike trails that wind through the area’s coastal dune lakes and villages.
