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.

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!

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.

We love it!! It’s so beautiful quiet and relaxing. Close to downtown. Love watching the boats and sometimes we even get to see Blue Angels fly.

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.

Beautiful private beach!
The private beach and location of the home was amazing! The home was very clean and fit our 2 families (4 adults and 2 kids) well. The decor is unique and had antique items which may not be good for young kiddos. The host was easy to communicate with before and during the stay. The only reasons it’s not an overall 5 star is that there were a couple soft spots in the flooring in the kitchen which need to be fixed and we weren’t able to use the grill. It was too dirty and there were only 2 burners that worked. Overall we enjoyed our time there and would go back!

Wonderful Oasis
This is a beautiful place to stay! The private beach was lovely and there were lots of amenities throughout the property. We lost power at one point due to a storm, but the owner was quick to respond and had us back up and running in no time. Great hosts. Thank you for a lovely stay!

20th anniversary and 40th birthday trip
The property was perfect! Literally walk out the back door and walk right into the bay. Local restaurants and breweries are great and short drive to the beach. The best of both worlds! Will definitely stay here again the next time we travel to Pensacola.

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.

Comfortable and relaxing
This place is perfect for relaxing and recharging. The view is amazing and the beach is literally just steps from the back porch. The house is older but has all you need. It reminded all the adults of going to your grandparents house, it’s not fancy but feels very welcoming. The neighbors are kind and welcoming and there is a park just down the street for younger kids to play if needed. Definitely looking forward to coming back again

Beach Views, In Town Convenience
Just a short drive to Joe Patti's seafood market, other groceries, downtown, restaurants -- and yet we were able to put our toes in the sand, utilize the provided kayaks, and sit on the wonderful porch and watch the waves for hours on end. Kitchen was well stocked, interiors were dated and eclectic but that was just fine with us. We loved it. Many thanks to our hosts.
