Cypress Dunes

Looks really nice.
Ashwood Development also did the development (Jubilation) that we came <this close> to buying into out here. Quality homes, nice amenities, landscaping with native plants.

As a homeowner and current resident of Cypress Dunes I have a couple of observations. I have never noticed anyone using the Topsail property to access the beach and we were the first full-time residents in CD. Besides, it would be a daunting hike through the scrub oaks and rolling dunes. Secondly, the distance to the public beach access is no further than it would be from parts of Phase 2 and all of Phase 3 in Water Color. Last time I checked, the prices in Phases 2 & 3 were quite a bit higher than non "gulf front" homes in CD. In addition to that, there is a shuttle service that is provided to homeowners in Cypress Dunes that will taxi them to the public beach access. The amenities center is second to none and affords some of the best views on all of Hwy 30A. The good thing about these views is that they will always be there since the property does back up to Topsail Park. The low monthly dues which include use of the pool, fitness center, and lawn maintenance are extremely attractive. Just some observations and facts from someone who "knows" the development rather than an outsider expressing their opinion.

Thanks for a great first hand report on Cypress Dunes. You're right about the negative comments on distance to the beach - sure is a lot closer than many new developments on 30A including 2nd & 3rd phases of Watercolor, and the gulf views at CD from many lots and the amenity center are gorgeous.

New house on lot 137 sold last week. It is close to the recently opened amenity center.

Is this the first recent sale in Cypress Dunes? According to the Walton County Appraiser's site, the last sale they show is from March. Have there been any other sales since then?

Re: Private beach. Sounds like you are talking about the homes that front the beach at Stallworth Lake. The beach in front of those homes is NOT private. They own to the High tide line only which is way high...otherwise like all beachfront it is private only to a point. There is a public beach access point at that location and a few people in the know go there a bunch particularly during the summer when the relationship between the amount of algae and tourists is at its peak!!!
