Bayfront Lodge-Beautiful & Unique East Bay Retreat
NOTE: If your group is large and need more accommodation, please see my adjacent vacation rental at Vrbo # 1014417.
Beautiful setting directly on East Bay with its own private boat ramp. Bring your boat! This six bedroom, five bath home is located only 15 minutes from the pristine Navarre Beach, one of only ten National Seashores and eight miles of undeveloped gulf-front. Four out of seven of the world’s sea turtle species nest along this seashore—also home to towering dunes, migratory birds, and miles of trails for exploring. Not too far from Pensacola Beach, not too far from Navarre Beach, but very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Pensacola.
Everything you need is close, but you are still nestled in a residential neighborhood.
Private and serene, this beautiful bay-front home boasts the tranquility of a lake house, the recreational potential of a beachfront cottage, and endless possibilities for summer entertaining or an engaging winter get-away. The boat ramp offers access to all that East Bay and Pensacola Bay have to offer, including access to the Gulf of Mexico. With multiple layers of lookout decks, covered porches, and a dock, this home has amazing sunset views to offer all year long.
Enjoy watching dolphins swim around the dock while sitting on the expansive patio. There is a fire pit as well as two grills for guests to enjoy.
This unique home has a beautiful open floor plan with gorgeous natural light and timeless cedar and cypress beams. It is well-equipped with a gourmet kitchen, formal and family living rooms, a formal dining room, and outdoor dining, all overlooking the water. Featuring two kitchens, two laundry units, and ample space to sleep 24 people on mattresses (w/ 3 additional fold-up twins), this home is the ideal location for family reunions, conferences, and retreats.

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.
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!
Beautiful retreat like lodge setting with lots of space for extended family. Incredible waterfront with our favorite part…big dock for hanging on the water for meals and games and sun. Owners/managers were fantastic. Looking for our next opportunity to return.
Bayfront Lodge was everything we could have hoped for. We had plenty of space and amenities. Our family are pretty serious cooks and enjoyed a well stocked kitchen including quality pots and pans and a wide assortment of tools and appliances. The 3 refrigerators accommodated everything we brought. Paddle boards and kayaks were so much fun! The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. We would definitely return!
What an awesome property to host our family (17) for our Christmas vacation 2023. The amenities were amazing from the kitchen to the Master suite, upstairs apartment and the crows nest. Anything you could possibly need is right there for your use. The grandkids enjoyed my serenading of Sittin on the Dock of the Bay when I’d head outside. The kids, wife and even myself enjoyed kayaking as well as paddle boarding We hope to book this property again during a warmer time of year.
Our family loved staying at the lodge, there is so much to do with amazing views! They house is equipped with everything you possibly need to have a great vacation!
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.
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.
We loved everything about our stay, the house was spacious, had everything we needed, lots of outdoor space to hang out. It was perfect for a family gathering. It was such a blessing we could all be there together comfortably.
Space to have your own downtime and big family togetherness each day! Paddleboarding, reading, kayaking, cooking and eating, playing games, swimming, and enjoying the calm waters and breezes. :-)
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.
This was one of our best vacations ever. Every one of us had a great time, from the youngest to the oldest The property was beautiful and was a great experience from the time we arrived til the time we left. Thank you for making it an awesome vacation for our family. We will be back
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. Diana and her team have a strong attention to detail and want you to have the perfect stay! This is my second time at the lodge and we will be going back!
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.
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.

Family Reunion & Wedding Event
This place is amazing and so are the owners! Spectacular views, and beautiful home. Location is great! Very private and peaceful. My family loved it and the Wedding was beautiful. I would highly recommended this place for weddings, any other other family gathering. Enough room for the entire family! Loved it💞💞💞💞🍾🥂
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!
