About the host
Hosted by Chris Buzzetta
Hello everyone!
Manor on the Bay is managed by a team of close friends and family that includes Chris and Tom (the owners) and Ashley (the director of the guest experience.) Your main point of contact will be Ashley.
ABOUT CHRIS:
I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. When I was 25 I moved to Enid, Oklahoma for two years, then Clovis, New Mexico. I recently moved to Fort Walton Beach, Florida but have traveled here for work and leisure numerous times. This really does feel like paradise.
My work includes a number of different jobs. From leading an office of workers to a goal to managing training elements for other people. When I'm lucky, I get paid to fly planes all over the world.
We look forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property
"It was the first time my kids had ever seen the beach,
the first time my mother put her feet in the sand in decades,
and our first time gathering as a family since the pandemic."
Cindy Smith, May 2021 Guest
Father and son Tom and Chris Buzzetta couldn't be more different. One is gentle and safe-minded and the other is outgoing and strong-willed. Through the years, their differences grew together to forge not only a loving family but also a well-balanced partnership that brought them to the opportunity at Manor on the Bay.
Tom, with an upcoming retirement from hard work in the grocery industry, was looking for a new opportunity. Chris, after a successful career as a pilot in the Air Force, was looking to diversify. What if he and his father partnered to bring their love of family and gathering to a location accessible to all at this Fort Walton Beach location? Chris and Tom agreed, there was nothing like this location in the area and it was meant to be shared.
After countless hours of dedicated hard work improving the property, the Manor on the Bay was running as a short-term rental providing families a place to relax and reconnect. The Manor was registered as a provider with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to bring dreams of waterfront life to children in dire situations. The vision of offering a space for people to enjoy had become real. 225 Beachview Drive was now, The Manor on the Bay; a home away from home and an oasis of enjoyment.
It is with great pride and excitement that we invite you home, to the Manor on the Bay.
Join us to celebrate this great space, the neighborhood that makes it special, and the community that people travel from around the world to be a part of.

What makes this property unique
There are many waterfront properties out there. But this one has a private beach, two v haul boat lifts, a wet slip for yachts up to 75 feet long, and two jetski lifts. You also have two kitchens and living rooms on the property, 2 laundry rooms and-three separate areas if you'd like to have additional privacy from your group. Check out my other listing for the entire property that included the 1000 sq ft guesthouse.
