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.

Beautiful apartment in the perfect beachfront location! We were looking for a place where we could avoid dealing with elevators, and this was exactly what we wanted.The condo was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Since everything had to be replaced after the hurricane, the owners clearly invested in quality—they didn’t cut corners, and it shows.The location is fantastic, within walking distance of John’s Pass, great restaurants, and other local attractions. Jack and Betsy were on-site and made everything seamless, answering the few questions we had and ensuring we had a wonderful stay. They are truly exceptional hosts.We have found our beach gem and can’t wait to come back. We will definitely be renting here again!

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!
