• Amphitheatre Splash Pad remains closed until further notice.
• A 10:00 p.m. curfew for non-resident minors continues to be enforced in an effort to prevent congregating throughout the property.

We are also compelled to ask our community as a whole to please honor safety guidelines while on property and as you travel about our South Walton towns. When enjoying our public spaces and while staying with us in one of our vacation rental homes, please follow social distancing protocols and CDC safety guidelines for hand washing and responsible monitoring of your personal health condition. Please understand that operations for many amenities and services have been adjusted and that restaurants and services within the larger community continue to operate on a restricted basis. You many also wish to bring supplies with you from your point of origin, as supplies in the area are still quite limited. Know that Alys Beach staff will wear face coverings and, depending on contact protocols, gloves while on property, and know that we do so in the hopes that you will feel more comfortable rather than less so, and in the hopes that this effort will continue to encourage the well-being of all. Visit South Walton is an excellent resource for availability, safety protocols and guidelines for visitors to the area.

It is our intent to stay focused on achieving our reopening goals in the safest and most effective manner possible, however, it is important to remember that things may change at any time. Our teams here at Alys Beach will continue to put every effort towards recreating a safe and hospitable environment where our owners, guests and associates can find a warm and sound refuge. We will move forward responsibly and cautiously to return to a place where we can fully enjoy all of the beauty of life in Alys Beach, and with the mindset that we will continue to move through this strange time together, with grace. We are thankful for the support of our Alys Beach friends and family.

Alys Beach is a good choice for a vacation because there aren't that many rentals relative to other towns and not many people on the beach. Also they manage all rentals and cleaning.
