The property was amazing and well stocked! It has anything you can think of. The short walk to the shore is a game changer as you don’t 100 ft of beach to trudge through to get to your spot. We purposely chose this place hoping it was a quiet, family oriented, non crowded beach and this place fits the bill!

Joe was great, met us at the house and gave us a tour around to show us everything we needed. The house was in amazing shape and had everything we needed. The location was perfect just in front of the boardwalk so great access to the beach. We really liked the crows nest with the 360 view. Area was quiet and the beach was not too crowded.

Our stay at this property was so beautiful and relaxing. The location right by the water and a quick drive/walk to shopping and restaurants was perfect. Checking in and out was quick and easy and the house was very clean! The garage was even full of beach chairs, toys, wagons and other items making our beach days, even more fun without the hassle of bringing all of our own items from home.

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Christina Leonard

Host profile image
We are proud to be locals. We raised our family here on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. This is our private home we wish to share with other families. Wonderful place to create memories!

Why they chose this property

Right across the street from the Gulf...50 yards from the water. Unimpeded Gulf access... like having your very own private beach! The free flowing floor plan allows for easy living in a comfortable, relaxed setting. The 1300 square feet of covered deck space and a 3rd level observation deck offer many places to find your own private piece of paradise and get away from the crowd and just chill! We have a 3-Day minimum rental for every month except JUNE and JULY which are 7-DAY MINIMUM

What makes this property unique

Located right across the street from the Gulf with views of Santa Rosa Sound as well. Great home for large families! Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, no condos in the area, ideal for families with small children.
Imagine spending the day on the Gulf, and never having to use an elevator nor a public restroom! Ha!
