BAY HOUSE - Steps to its own Private Beach - Amazing Sunsets on the Water

This 3K sq. ft. mid-century home is on its own 144-foot HUGE private sand beach on Pensacola Bay just minutes from famous Palafox St. This fabulous property has beach chairs & toys, a firepit, kayaks & unparalleled Florida fun just around the corner from fun bars, breweries, restaurants, ferries, culture, etc., etc., etc.

The immaculate Bay House is the only vacation rental in Pensacola that is right on its own large private beach just feet from Pensacola Bay. Walk out your back door and you are literally right there…on the sand beach and wading in the clean salt water. The beach has its own fire pit surrounded by six Adirondack chairs to sit and roast marshmallows, watch fireworks many Friday’s and Saturday’s, and chill with a cold drink with your toes in the sand.

Collect seashells and sea glass on the beach or swim or wade right from your own beach. Take the kayaks out for a ride around the bay or to nearby Bayou Chico to see the million dollar yachts as you pass pelicans, dolphins and other sea-life.

On many Tuesdays and Wednesdays in season, you can watch the famous Blue Angels F-18 Super Hornets practicing their highflying stunt maneuvers right in front of the Bay House. This property is DEFINITELY one-of-a-kind for an unforgettable and unmatched beach experience ever.

Private beach!

Great place for family time! The house is located close to downtown, the beach, and NAS Pensacola so there are lots of options of things to do. The Blue Angels show is a must see! Having firewood provided for a beach bonfire was very appreciated. There is also a little cottage you can rent that is super cute. Donna is very helpful and easy to contact.

Adorable beach house

Loved staying here, the owners provided a lot of extra things (beach toys, bikes, kayaks, firewood ). Loved that we could just walk out the back door to the water. Family loved being able to have a fire on the beach. Lots of great restaurants close by. We would stay again.

Summer Family Vacation

Great house and super location on Pensacola Bay. Private sandy beach was a huge plus so we didn't have to drive to a public beach. Had a great time riding scooters around town, attending a street festival, shopping at Joe Patti's, visiting the Naval Air Museum, historic lighthouse, and a lot of other things. Pensacola is one of my favorite cities and I plan on returning in the future.

Perfect for families with young kids

Was beautiful! Still the ocean, but not deep water right around the house. Our kids were able to play by the shore as much as they wanted. We watched the Blue Angels practice one morning. Having a private beach area was definitely worth it!

Beautiful private beach

Great house with a beautiful private beach. It was rainy when we were there so a comfortable couch for movies and an indoor dining table would have been nice.

Best experience for the whole family

We took our mother vacation to see the beach. She is 73 and probably won't be able to make that trip again. She loved it and said was the best vacation she had ever had. Just can't say enough about the whole experience. Highly recommend.

Relaxing, private and beautiful decorated beach house

This place is amazing. The house is spacious and beautiful decorated with antiques and art work. My husband enjoyed reading the historic art collection. We have a private and quiet beach with an incredible view! We also enjoyed the kayaks. Love the big tvs, and that they have internet access. Thank you we definitely will be coming back!
