About this property

Bayfront Lodge-Beautiful & Unique East Bay Retreat

NOTE: If your group is large and need more accommodation, please see my adjacent vacation rental at Vrbo # 1014417.

Beautiful setting directly on East Bay with its own private boat ramp. Bring your boat! This six bedroom, five bath home is located only 15 minutes from the pristine Navarre Beach, one of only ten National Seashores and eight miles of undeveloped gulf-front. Four out of seven of the world’s sea turtle species nest along this seashore—also home to towering dunes, migratory birds, and miles of trails for exploring. Not too far from Pensacola Beach, not too far from Navarre Beach, but very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Pensacola.

Everything you need is close, but you are still nestled in a residential neighborhood.

Private and serene, this beautiful bay-front home boasts the tranquility of a lake house, the recreational potential of a beachfront cottage, and endless possibilities for summer entertaining or an engaging winter get-away. The boat ramp offers access to all that East Bay and Pensacola Bay have to offer, including access to the Gulf of Mexico. With multiple layers of lookout decks, covered porches, and a dock, this home has amazing sunset views to offer all year long.

Enjoy watching dolphins swim around the dock while sitting on the expansive patio. There is a fire pit as well as two grills for guests to enjoy.

This unique home has a beautiful open floor plan with gorgeous natural light and timeless cedar and cypress beams. It is well-equipped with a gourmet kitchen, formal and family living rooms, a formal dining room, and outdoor dining, all overlooking the water. Featuring two kitchens, two laundry units, and ample space to sleep 24 people on mattresses (w/ 3 additional fold-up twins), this home is the ideal location for family reunions, conferences, and retreats.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Litz

Host profile image
It’s hard not to fall in love with the unique tranquility of East Bay. That’s exactly what happened when we dropped by one summer to visit some old family friends. When we purchased the Lodge and later the Cabin, we didn’t see countless months of repairs and renovations, we saw dream homes with eccentric character. Leaky ceilings and damaged walls seemed to be a distant footnote in light of our vision to use this plot to foster and encourage community and family.
What started as a family project quickly morphed into a community affair. As weeks turned into months and these projects continued endlessly, we became acutely aware of how many people were needed to get these homes repaired and running. We are so grateful for all the help we’ve received and the lasting community that was built. The result of this nearly two-year-long project and seemingly elusive dream, is a unique get-away space that can be tailored and utilized in countless ways.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful home became a family project/adventure, and we've enjoyed every step of the journey. We hope you enjoy the peacefulness and adventure potential of this place as much as we do.
