Luxurious Home w Private Heated-Optional Pool Directly Across from the Bch

This luxurious 4 King Bedrooms, 3.5 Bathroom (PLUS 4 bed bunkroom!) beach house has a private, fenced-in pool (which is able to be heated for an additional charge) is located DIRECTLY across the street (small side street) from the beach... end of driveway is 20 strides to Beach Access #9. It is beautifully decorated and can sleep a total of 12 people.

***The maximum people in this home is 12 people. *** Must be 25 years or older to book this unit and at least 2 guests of the age 25!!

You now have the option to have the pool heated! There is a $40/night charge for this and has to be added to all nights of your stay. You can let us know anytime prior to your arrival that you would like to add pool heat.

This home is so beautifully furnished and is one home off the beach. When you walk out the front door, Beach Access #9 is 50 steps from the front door! The living room, dining nook and kitchen area is in the wide open, well-lit area taking up most of the first floor. The kitchen is fully stocked, has granite counter tops and a kitchen island for extra prep space.

There's a half bathroom just beyond the kitchen for guests to enjoy. There's a door off of the eating area that leads you to the fenced-in private pool, grill, outdoor seating and outdoor shower area.

Master Bedroom #1 (first floor) - King size bed with 2 side tables, a dresser and TV as well as a walk-in closet with plenty of room for your clothes and luggage. The master ensuite bathroom has a glass-enclosed walk-in shower and separate room with the toilet.

A large laundry room with a full sized washer and dryer is located on the first floor between the 1/2 bath and the master bedroom.

Master Bedroom #2 (second floor) - King size bed with 2 side tables, a dresser, tv and door leading out to your own private balcony with beach views! The master ensuite bathroom features a glass walk-in shower, free standing claw-foot tub and large bathroom area with a walk-in closet adjoining.

Walking down the hall there's a Bunk Room on your right (2 full size bunk beds capable of sleeping 8 small children) with a table and lamp in between the bunk beds. Please note there is no door on this room. There is a curtain hanging to provide some privacy if needed.

Across from the Bunk Room is the second Full Bathroom on the second floor. This bathroom has double sinks, a linen closet and tub/shower combination.

At the end of the hall are the final two bedrooms, both bedrooms have King Size beds, two side tables, a tv and a dresser in each room. Each room has a large closet as well.

This home is so beautifully decorated, from the furnishings to the artwork on the walls! We are so excited to share this home with you and are happy to answer any questions you may have. We also have a "sister home" two doors down if you have a larger group than this home can accommodate. It's name is Bama Breeze and is the very same layout with the same high quality furnishings.

This home is in a very popular area with restaurants and attractions nearby. It is located within walking distance to St. Andrews State Park AND Schooners - a locals' favorite here on PCB! There are many other restaurants close-by as well such as Sisters of the Sea, Captain Anderson's, Patches Pub, Dat Cajun Place, Andy's Flour Power and Grand Marlin among others. The perfect place to enjoy the beach, then have a wonderful meal at home by the pool or head out to one of our wonderful restaurants!

Perfect location, plenty of room for our group of 11. Ages 5mo-50yrs. We loved the private pool. Pots, pans and a grill perfect for having a night in. Beds were comfortable. Great shower pressure and temperature. The upstairs bedrooms do stay a little on the warmer side, luckily we had brought a small fan. We will definitely stay here again!!

Fireworks on the Fourth

We absolutely love this home away from home. The house rental experience was perfect for car/parking access - unload at the front door, quick run to the store, no question parking. The private pool was a favorite activity for the kids. Rooms and bathrooms were spacious, quiet, and private. Beach access was just across the street and a short walk to the beautiful white sand. The double sofas and two club chairs were comfortable and enough seating for our large party. The two hard working air systems kept us all cool, upstairs and downstairs. We will definitely return soon and highly recommend this peaceful getaway!

A beautiful piece of heaven!

From the moment you walk in the door, this house is absolutely breath taking! Someone put lots of LOVE into the house. The beach theme decor, driftwood art and gorgeous paintings are in every room. You won't be disappointed. Everyone in our group was amazed with this house. Be aware that the bunk bed room is small and has no door. The beach access is right across the street with a wooden walkway most of the way to the beach. Nobody wanted to leave. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing stay!

Our one week stay here was perfect and on point! There was more than enough room for 6 adults and 4 kids. House is tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. Location is perfect with the beach literally less than a 30 second walk and multiple restaurants, Publix, etc., within a short driving distance. Pool was a nice addition and large enough for both kids and adults to enjoy. Tracy was very responsive and a pleasure to communicate. Thank you for a memorable stay!

Tough Review...

Tough Review for me. Tracy was there for us whenever we needed... Her outreach was impeccable. My deep reservation was due to the overall cleanliness of the home. During the stay I provided Tracy images, so none of this should come as a surprise upon receipt. The AC wasn't working properly on the 2nd floor and that turned out to be a result of heavily caked dust and who knows what on the AC handler filter. The AC piping was also twisted, separated and soaking wet from condensation. Tracy sent the AC company two days after we arrived... They were due to head back after our departure. I the technicians wake, just about everyone came down with a sinus thing that coincidentally came on fter the techs replaced the filter. As for the rest, the cleaners definitely took shortcuts that have built up over time (hair and dust on base moulding, dust caked up in doors and island pendant lights etc). Tracy did refund the cleaning fees. Again Tracy did her best and I think as property manager she's shortchanged with the vendors service provided. The location wasn't terrible, just far from Pier Park... Home has potential... Just need the right crew taking care of it.

We had a great time at this property!

This house has many excellent amenities. First, everyone enjoyed the private pool. Second, the beach was a short walk from the property. Finally, there was ample room in the house for multiple families. However, picking up food items for an extended stay, will require driving through some traffic. Overall, this is a good location.
