Loved our stay.

Our families often rent properties all over the country. This was definitely one of our favorites. It’s situated very nicely with the idea of enjoying the outside amenities as well spending quality time with the people you love. It was an outstanding property and we enjoyed it very much.

Amazing Property!

This property was absolutely perfect for our annual family vacation. We travel with a large group and this house was more than accommodating for all of us! The house was absolutely stunning! I would recommend this property to everyone that is looking to stay in the Gulf Breeze area. We couldn't have asked for a better property to host our vacation.

Amazing vacation for our family!

The house was perfect. We felt like we were in an island of our own. The kids spent hours in the warm waters.....safe for all ages and we had dolphins swim around us almost daily. It’s a perfect place for a big family to enjoy and make memories. We would definitely love to rent the Gulf Breeze Lodge again next year.

Once again the Bay Lodge was a perfect place to gather the family. The adult kids enjoyed the water equipment and everything was close by. Our grandson enjoyed his first visit. I would highly encourage families to stay at the Bay Lodge. Thank you Carol and team Bay Lodge!

This house was the perfect size for our family of 12…..and we didn’t even use 6 of the twin beds. It is located 30 minutes from Pensacola Beach. The house had so many fun activities that some days we didn’t leave the house. The owners communicated very well and were quick to respond. We will definitely stay at this house again.

The property is gorgeous, so clean, has everything you need. We only left the house for ice! The bay is gorgeous and we saw dolphins every day. The rooms are beautiful and spacious.

Amazing Place to stay!

This is the second time we have stayed at Bayfront. The first year we enjoyed the cabin. This year we had a much larger group so we decided on the lodge. We were very pleased. It is the perfect location, just a short drive to Navarre Beach and it offers plenty to entertain the family right there at the lodge as well. The house was very accommodating and clean. We will definitely be back.

Celebrating Dad’s Life

Thank you for bringing our large family under one roof to celebrate our Dad’s life. The house accommodated the gathering of his six children and their extended families with activities for the young and old. We would definitely use this property again for our next visit. We highly recommended this place for its quiet, beautiful view so relaxing to reflect.

Great place to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary with family from across the USA! They made it very easy and were extremely helpful. Not always easy to find a place that can work with our wheel-chair bound son and a large extended family--but this place was awesome!
