About this property
Sitting on the dock of the bay!
Sleepy Bay has almost 4 acres of property which has a variety of birds and squirrels, including white squirrels, that thrive in abundance within the beautiful Magnolias, and Live Oak trees with draping Spanish Moss. This property is on East Bay at the mouth of East River. Looking out over the bay from the private deck, or canoeing/kayaking, fishing, or just swinging on one of the two wooden bench swings, are activities ready for your enjoyment. Whether you choose to encounter these activities or just cruise over to Navarre Beach, which is only four red-lights (4.7 miles) away and approximately a 10-minute drive, depending on the time of day. You will have the opportunity to experience another piece of paradise on Navarre Beach. Navarre Beach also boasts the longest pier into the Gulf of Mexico that you can enjoy by fishing or just walking on the pier. Don't forget to slow down and watch the sunset in the backyard!
This 1100 square feet "mother-in-law attached apartment" with 10-foot ceilings and two private entrances is attached like a duplex, both houses are private with separate entrances and decks.

The oversized main bedroom has a king-sized bed with a separate entrance (2 private entrances) from a PRIVATE, LARGE, WRAP AROUND DECK, that overlooks the bay. A gas grill is located beside the over 100-year-old Magnolia tree which the deck surrounds. The oversized bathroom features a spa like shower and oversized jetted tub. The property has a private electric gate (a remote for gate is provided for your stay) and yard is fenced except for the 300 feet of bay front, so it is perfect for your fur babies. The views are amazing and walking to the dock is encouraged.

About the host
Hosted by Frank Oatman
Frank and I, Stacey, are both special education teachers who have been teaching for thirty years. Both of us love people, so teaching has been the perfect career choice. As we near retirement we are looking towards the next chapter in our life. Eventually, we would love to retire and build a few cottages for guests. We truly appreciate our peaceful life on the mouth of the East River as it opens up to East Bay and we want to share with others. We hope that everyone who stays with us enjoys this property as much as we do on an everyday basis.
Why they chose this property
Beautiful view and serenity! If that is what you are looking for, this is the place for you. Watching the sunset from the private wrap around porch is never the same and never gets old. Bird watching is also great. Keep an eye out for Eagles, Ospreys, Hawks, and a multitude of other birds, that can be seen from the deck. You may also see not only grey squirrels, but hopefully also the white squirrels, playing by the Live Oaks.
What makes this property unique
Take out our one-person canoe, or two Kayaks, or bring your own, and launch from the backyard! If you have a small boat, 21 foot or smaller, bring it and launch from the East River Boat Ramp (about 1/2 mile) and tie up to our dock. You can leave your boat tied up during your stay. Life jackets are required for all watercrafts and are provided. Please let us know if you want to take out the canoe/kayaks and we will provide a watercraft waiver to sign. Even though Navarre has a low crime rate, for extra security, we have exterior security cameras at the gate entrance of property, and exterior of our part of home and parking area. There are not any cameras on your vacation rental side of the residence or your private deck area.
