About this property

Directly on the Beach

This is a great getaway for a couple looking for total relaxation and privacy. White sandy beaches softened by gently swaying sea oats lie just beyond the living room picture window. A large private pool is just a few steps from the sliding door with an expansive patio for sunbathing after a refreshing swim.

If you should want to hide from the sun, there is a covered patio with table and chairs for your morning coffee and paper--or for your picnic lunch or gourmet dinner. Be sure to allow enough time to relax and experience the glorious sunsets!

This modern, recently remodeled home has a convenient private entrance leading directly into the kitchen... no elevators to contend with while unloading luggage and groceries! The large, fully-equipped kitchen has a large with stools bar for dining, as well as a table and chairs. A bright, sunny bedroom boasts large twin closets and island-style furniture.

This home with can best be described as a duplex with a large rental apartment located on the north side of the ground level. The rest of the home is not rented and used a vacation home for the owner.

Fantastic location right on a beautiful beach. Wonderful sunsets out the back towards the gulf. It was a bonus to have a nice swimming pool. We enjoyed walking to John's Pass with restaurants and local shops. The friendly staff and customers at the Bamboo Bar were delightful to meet. Very nice accommodations and highly recommend.

We have stayed here several times and absolutely love it! We were shocked at how quickly and beautifully this apartment was repaired and decorated after sustaining a direct hit from Hurricane Helene. We got to meet and visit with the owners this time, and they are so nice! We will definitely try to stay here again!

This was an incredible vacation spot. We couldn’t have asked for more! The 10/10 review is spot on and well deserved. The owners were quick to answer any questions or concerns and made the vacation stress free. If you are wanting a beautiful vacation home right on the beach with access to a private pool then look no more. Definitely looking forward to another stay in the future!

Pinch me, please? A one bedroom that's dog-friendly, has room for our teenager (sofa bed) AND is directly on the beach? Never thought I would find such a unicorn. When I say DIRECTLY on the beach, I mean that your patio has a small knee wall and sand is on the other side. Oh and did I mention you face West so sunset views every night? It's a lovely condo, well appointed and clean. Great location, the owners were easy to work with. We'll definitely be back!

Great location, very clean, friendly owners

We had such a wonderful time. This property is clean, homey, private, quiet, in a beautiful location. We loved the back porch overlooking the Gulf and beautiful sunsets. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. This is exactly what we were looking for our beach vacation. It was so nice to float in the Gulf only steps away from the walk out patio. Directly on the beach - this is one of our favorite rentals ever.

Perfect place to unwind.

Great accommodations to relax and enjoy the beach and sunsets. Everything about this place is just perfect. Owners are very friendly and keep the place up to date. Very short walk to the beach and even shorter to the pool. Also the pool and deck are large and well maintained.
