Be sure to contact us quickly to capture rental of our very nicely furnished, private, elevated home with exceptional location and beautiful views of The Gulf and The Sound
Location . . .
Our quaint, newly constructed, two bedroom and two bath beach home sleeps eight cozy and is located directly between the Gulf and the Sound and it's renown sugar white beaches.
A short walk via Avenida 18 in either direction takes you directly to the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico or The Sound. Look closely at our web listing photos to see how close you are to both beaches.
There is a sidewalk and boardwalk located at the south end of Avenida 18 providing easy access to The Gulf, and there is immediate access to The Sound via the north end of our block, Avenida 18 via the street. It takes you right onto the beaches of The Sound to what is locally known as 'Babies Beach' because of shallow, calm, clear waters.
Boater's Delight . . .
Should you choose to bring your boat, it is also convenient to anchor your small boat in the Sound and park your trailer on our driveway. This allows for easy traveling back and forth to our home between boating adventures so long as you don't mind a short wade to shore.
The bottom is sandy and the waters are deep enough to allow for mooring of most small boats. You can also keep a watchful eye on your vessel with unobstructed views from our home while you grab what you forgot, come home for dinner or just take a breather in preparation for the next adventure out.
Surfer's Delight . . .
Our location at Avenida 18 is a favored local's surfing spot in the Gulf because of wave breaks. Check out our Facebook page to see recent guest's review!
Parking to Yourself . . .
Plenty of parking is available on the large driveway and under the home to park your cars, RV, boat, boat trailer or jet skis.
Beach Travels . .
Set out for the beach with a wagon provided complete with four beach chairs and an umbrella to protect you when wanted for a day in the sun. Return from your day at the beach and enjoy an enclosed outdoor shower with both hot and cold running water to refresh and bathe in comfort.
Community Park . . .
The beach community park is adjacent to the home and has plenty of amenities to offer including tennis and basketball courts, eighth mile jogging track, gazebo, playground equipment for kids, and roller hockey rink. Crosswalks and sidewalks take you safely to and from.
Perfect for Families . . .
A private, fenced yard is provided for the safety of little ones vacationing with you. 'Babies Beach', as it is commonly known by locals because of it's shallow, calm waters, is only a little over a block away on The Sound, affording a relaxing day at the beach for children of all ages. You also have an unobstructed view of this beach to keep a watchful eye from our home.
In addition, a Wii game system with over a half a dozen games is located in the Guest bedroom to provide fun entertainment for youth and family..
Views . . .
Awesome views of both the Gulf and the Sound await our guests from the home, along with enjoying the breezes and the opportunity for basking in the warmth of the Island sun or in the cool shade our home and upper and lower decks provide.
Perfect for Beach Weddings . . .
We are also located across the street from both beach churches, Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church and the Pensacola Beach Community United Church of Christ, affording a perfect location for participating in that special wedding celebration.
Free Summer Trolley Travels . . .
Free Summer trolley travels begin Friday, May 28 and runs from 4 p.m. to midnight, seven days a week through Labor Day. A trolley stop is just steps away on the corner from our home, providing you with access to free, fun, safe and easy listening Island tunes as you travel to and from the core beach area, where the finest in dining and fun entertainment await you. Trolley stops are numbered so riders may use their smart phones or computers to log into or call the electronic tracking service to find out the arrival time for the next trolley. Tiki hut stops are being built along routes now to provide landmarks and rest in the shade for smart trolley riders who prefer to ride and not worry about finding parking. Trolleys run as far as to the entrance of Ft. Pickens at the West end of the Island and as far as Portofino Condominiums at the East end of the Island with a whole lot of stops and fun to be had between!
Enjoy the best . . .

Perhaps one of the best Beach Houses on Pensacola Beach. First, this house is nearly new and has all of the amenities that you would expect, everything works and is in top notch condition. It has panoramic views of the "sound side" to the north and the Gulf of Mexico just to the south. This is basically a home away from home, except that it's in paradise. The location is perfect, close enough to all of the attractions to walk or bike (bikes provided) yet far enough away for some peace and quite. It's a two minute walk to the gulf with all of your beach stuff in tow with a little beach wagon (provided). As a note, the beach access is at Avenida 18, a locals beach known for its consistent surf breaks, so bring your long board, paddle board or kayak. All in all, this is a great place to stay on Pensacola Beach. I look forward to visiting again soon will certainly recommend it to all I know. Good Eats: Breakfast: Native Cafe Lunch: Dog House Deli Dinner: Peg Leg Pete'sRecommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Dear Michael, We are very glad you enjoyed your stay in our home. Thank you for taking the time to share what you liked about our home and our location on beautiful Pensacola Beach. We are very fortunate to have such a great location on the beach. You are right about some of the best wave breaks for Gulf surfing at the end of our block. Being able to paddle board and/or moor a boat at the other end of our block in the quiet Sound harbor is another locals favorite. Thanks, again, Michael, for your stay in our beach getaway and care of our home. We look forward to your coming back! In the interim, safe travels and very best wishes.

Excellent home in a beautiful location. Absolutely perfect for a family. Great beaches are just a minute walk away. When it's time to leave the beach, a great backyard and deck offer plenty or room to relax. The home was immaculately maintained and perfectly styled. I absolutely recommend the home to anyone traveling to Pensacola.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

This was a wonderful home to rent. This was my first time renting through vrbo so, I was a little nervous. After this experience I think I am done with hotels where possible. Renting a home is the way to go...and actually was less money. Carole, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. All of the pics and descriptions were accurate and the home was as described. The home was clean and had been taken care of. It was nicely decorated. There were extra linens and blankets and pillows. The master bedroom was very spacious and the master bath had a very large jetted tub. Our kids loved the wii game system and some games in the second bedroom. ( and we loved that it was in that bedroom , so anyone not wanting to hear / play the wii could relax in the front room )... They had a blast to come ' home' after a fun day out on the beach and play the wii before bed. Side note: there is a Red Box for rentals just down the street at the Circle K, for Wii rentals or movies. The decks on both side of the house were great! Hubby loved the paved walking/ running path next to the road. He loved running in the mornings as the sun was rising. We appreciated the sand toys. ( and not having to buy some) The kids just grabbed a bucket and we headed to the beach. The beach was amazing!!! The sand was amazing!!!! So pretty, so soft.... The beaches were very clean. This home was the perfect location for us. So close to the beautiful beach...and just a few minutes from the shopping area of Gulf Breeze for groceries. And just a few more minutes to Pensacola. Our favorite things to do: Chase n fins dolphin cruise ( docks just down the road from this house, close to the toll booth) it was a blast!!!!!!! We saw about 24 dolphins in the wild! Also, we went to the Gulfarium. It was about 50 minutes away. We got there early and beat the crowd. We had signed up the kids for animal encounters...so they could actually touch and feed the seals and sea lions. It is not Sea world, but great for a smaller aquarium. Our favorite food while in the area would have to be: The Fish House in downtown Pensacola. It was amazing. We are already talking about a return visit next year!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Wow! Thanks so much for sharing how much you enjoyed our home and the location on beautiful Pensacola Beach. You've made me miss it all the more! We look forward to hearing back from you again for a future stay. In the interim, thank you for taking the time to share with us what you liked about your stay. Very best wishes, Chris and Carole Bayer Pensacola Beach Vacation Home Getaway . . . Priceless!!!

Property was very nice--situated on the corner so easy to find. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was fully stocked with flatware, glassware & dishes. Overall the home was very clean which was nice. Stayed here off season so there wasn't a lot of traffic or other people made for a nice getaway. Bikes also were a bonus and the neighborhood is great for running. Owners were responsive to our needs and provided lots of advice for things to do during the stay to make the most of Pensacola. We really appreciated the attention to details.Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

This was a great location for our long weekend (3 nights). We had perfect weather and the beach & water were beautiful. We loved having the bikes, beach toys, and especially the wagon to use. It made the trip to and from the beach so easy. The house is cozy, with a roomy master bedroom. I loved the decor! The blinds all through the house are great, but window treatments to help with the morning sun would have been nice in the bedrooms. A king size bed and newer mattress would have made for more comfortable sleep. Besides those two minor things, this was a perfect spot for us. The owner made everything super easy and the house was VERY clean, which is so important to me. We'd definitely book this home again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your review, Stacy. We are very pleased to hear you had a great getaway weekend and ranked your stay in our beach home at the highest ranking. It is a great compliment to us. We are also glad to gain your feedback on suggested improvements to the home. We will work toward these improvements so that your next stay with us will be "all you could ask for". Thank you, again, for the review, Stacy, and for all the time and efforts made to share your review with us and other prospective guests. Our goal is to make everyone's beach vacation stay in our home one they will always remember, treasure, and desire to come back again! We are looking forward to hopefully hearing from you in the near future. In the interim, our very best wishes to you and yours, and safe travels. Sincerely, Chris and Carole Bayer

My husband and I wanted a relaxing getaway. We couldn't have asked for a better location. This house is in a residential part of the island. It is close to all the action (about a mile), but far enough away that you have some privacy. The 2 balconies are ideal for relaxing and enjoying outdoor living. The south facing balcony gives you a view of the gulf (a couple blocks away), a couple of loungers, chairs and a small table. Great for your morning coffee, a few cocktails, reading, and tanning. The north facing balcony has a table and 4 chairs. You have great views of the sound (a block away). The house is well furnished, it has a well stocked kitchen (all you need is food). The owners have thought of everything. We will definitely be back. Already planning a week with my girlfriends.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

This beach property is even better then the listing description, very close to bay and gulf beaches, view from both decks and the interior did not look like your average beach rental, very nicely and comfortably decorated. Very clean and having a washer, dryer was great. The owners and property manager were very quick with response to any questions we had. My husband and I stayed for a week, hosted family and friends from nearby Gulf Breeze, it really felt like home. The outdoor shower with cold and warm water was great to clean up the kids. The Grand Marlin was our favorite restaurant, great fresh fish. Joe Patti in Pensacola is the place to buy fresh fish for the bbq. Tuesday night Band on the Beach was a lot of fun, bring a chair , something to eat and enjoy some good music. Take in a ball game at the waterfront stadium in Pensacola, cheap seats, decent food, friendly people. The supermarket in Gulf Breeze is just a quick hop over the bridge and is very well stocked. We had a wonderful time and will be back again.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks so much for your kind comments about your stay in our home on beautiful Pensacola Beach. You sound like locals doing all our favorite things to do too! Joe Patti's Fish Market, Bands on the Beach and the new Wahoos baseball team are exceptional things to share together when visiting Pensacola. I'm glad you got to enjoy a little local flavor! We are looking forward to hearing from you again for a return visit! We do believe some of the very best memories are created while staying at Pensacola Beach. We have ours also. Thanks, again, and very best wishes. Sincerely, Chris and Carole Bayer

We had the best vacation! The house was perfect, absolutely everything we needed. Excellent location, close to both Sound and Gulf, access to Sound was great for the younger kiddos. Loved the fenced yard, all of the gear available for the beach, the beach cruisers, the kitchen had everything we needed, couldn't ask for a thing. Enjoyed having two patios, both with excellent views and a table and chairs on each. Decor was nice, home was clean...we will be back next year!Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1992
About the owner: We are a family of four where Dad has been the primary bread winner and Mom has held part time jobs throughout the years while raising two sons. Employment opportunities in health care finance brought us to Pensacola and then moved us on to Miami and are now moving us to Jacksonville! Our Pensacola Beach home is now a Vacation Rental Home for others to enjoy as their 'Home Away from Home' . 'Thank You' for staying with us!!! We are sure you will enjoy your stay in our slice of absolute paradise!
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes:
We purchased our beach home the same year we started our family, twenty years ago, after moving to Pensacola for employment. This home is special to us and is where we hope to some day retire and rejoin our friends and neighbors. Although the home was remodeled a bit at a time over the years as a result of storm damage and then almost completely rebuilt following the hurricanes of Ivan in September '04 which flooded everyone on the Island and Dennis in July '05 which took the top off our home, what you experience when you stay in our home now is the combined efforts of architectural design and construction by some of those very same long time beach neighbors and friends. When you live on P'Cola Beach you become more than a member of the community. You become part of a beach family whose bonds are strengthened because of being just that . . . a beach resident who has a deep appreciation for the beach life. There is nothing like it. You are amongst others who are willing to accept the risks of living on the Island in order to experience and enjoy the beauty and glory of it every single day when living on it. You will experience this same wonderfully friendly community environment when you choose to stay in our home on beautiful Pensacola Beach.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
When staying in our beach home, you'll enjoy short walks to either the Gulf or Sound and the renown white sand beaches and the option of an enclosed, outdoor hot/cold shower to freshen up on your return. A Community Park with Tennis Courts, Basketball, Roller Hockey, jogging track, playground equipment and a gazebo to rest in the shade is just across the street. The trolley stops steps away on the corner from our home. We even have a bench at the edge of our carport to sit and relax while waiting for the trolley to take you to and from the beach core area to experience some of the finest dining and to purchase those souvenirs to remember your get away stay. Both a community church and Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church are across the street for Sunday worship. Boaters will enjoy the cove like harbor at the end of our street in the Sound which affords mooring of small boats while making a short wade to shore to come back to our home to enjoy meals or pick up what or who you may have forgotten. There are bike paths up and down from one end of the Island to another. Historical Ft. Pickens is at the west end of the Island where Geronimo was once kept prisoner and is a must see to appreciate. The Fishing Pier at the center of the business area is one of the longest that extends out into the Gulf and affords some of the best fishing as a result. The East end has nationally protected shores also affording limited development on our unique Island. Don't forget exploring in town either to see the home of the Blue Angels jets and pilots at the Naval Air Base. Diving in the area is great too with the Oriskany the largest artificial reef and latest diving spot to explore. The historical downtown area is also a great place to shop and dine. Be sure to check out the renown fish market on the water for a one of a kind experience. Pensacola is a gem and limitless really in all it has to offer. Stay, explore and you're sure to enjoy. Best wishes!
