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.

This is the most beautiful home in the most beautiful location. We absolutely fell in love with the whole area but the beach was beyond description. We had a fabulous, sunny week there and cannot wait to return. The neighborhood was very quiet and everyone was so friendly. The hosts always responded immediately if we had a question and were very kind. My new favorite place!

Highly recommend! We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be back! The home was clean and inviting, yes a bit dated, but in a cozy, familiar way. We walked in and felt right at home! There were many beautiful antique pieces that I would have loved to have in my own home! Having the private beach was perfect for our family with young children. They actually ran straight to the beach before we even unloaded the cars. The air conditioning worked perfectly and the water pressure was better than expected. The beds were very comfy and the rooms are good sizes. The neighborhood is great and even with some construction going on close by it was very quiet and so peaceful. Donna is an excellent host and offered food recommendations for our stay. Definitely go get the steamed shrimp from Joe Patti's. We couldn't catch any fish, so next time we will make a trip to the pier or maybe find another fishing spot. But the kids really enjoyed all the beach toys, kayaks, and making smores on the beach. We didn't need the cottage, but Donna was kind enough to let us have a peek inside and it is beautiful! Next time we will have to bring a few more people and book that as well! We can't wait for our next trip.

We got to see the Blue Angels practicing!

Your own private beach house sitting, peaceful and grand,A VRBO Pensacola jewel, set down right in the sand.Decorated like a museum, treasures to see,The warm breeze through the palms, gulls and pelicans wheeling free.Blue Wahoos nearby, swinging, the crack of the bat,Fans on their feet with a cheer and a clap.Then Blue Angels roar right overhead as the sky turns bright,Their jets carving thunder in dazzling flight.Bushwhackers blending, sweet frozen delight,Creamy and boozy from morning to night.Riding the beach cruisers to the Oar House with cheer,Then back to the bay house for another cold beer.Breakfasts at Coffee Cup, Nassau grits on the plate,And a fried country steak that sure tastes great.Fuel for the day, with stories to share,Pensacola mornings beyond compare.From your own private beach, complimentary kayaks a gleam,Gliding through sunlight like part of a dream.Dolphins pop up, and the paddles make rings,Simple joy found in the quietest things.Fishing poles ready as the evening draws near,Casting for stories with laughter and cheer.The tug on the line, the splash and the fight,Dinner could bite in the soft fading light.Donna the most awesome host—just a text away,Sends Joe, her handyman partner, with plunger in hand.Up on the roof he looks over his land,The pipes unclogged, the toilet set right,Stars are shining through the soft Gulf night.I’d tell you to stay here, it’s pure heavenly delight…But please just not on my nights.

Stay was ok. Things I felt could have been done better. -Beds definitely need new mattress, to call them soft would be understatement, after day 3 it wasn’t comfortable anymore -kayaks are functional, however very old and the seats back support is non existent… definitely not for longer rides-yes it’s a private beach but it was the least “swimmable” out of all beaches we visited. -Fishing rods need upgrade, we ended up buying our own -Front doors are not necessarily the sturdiest doors and I feel like forced entry would be easy by unwanted guest (yes I know we were very close to local pd) All that being said, everything I mentioned can be fixed with some capital, this house probably makes within two weeks of renting … it has potential for an outstanding rental.Communication with owner was super easy and I believe they are nice people who should maybe refresh parts mentioned above This is just my honest review, I wish them all the best.

A Pensacola Gem

From the beginning stages of planning to our last day, Donna made our stay in Pensacola beyond wonderful. She was thoughtful, prompt to respond, and went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We took advantage of biking through the neighborhood, exploring downtown Pensacola, and of course enjoying the beautiful private beach. Our family watched the Blue Angels practice and dolphins play right outside the back porch. The kids had an excellent time looking for crabs and exploring the sand bar. Pro Tip - visit Joe Patti’s and order shrimp and crabs steamed “Donna’s way”- order medium to large peeled shrimp with tails on. At check out, ask them to steam them with medium spice and extra lemons. You won’t regret it!! Absolutely loved our stay! Thank you Donna!

Don't miss this gem!

This gem of a house/location did not disappoint! The house was wonderful, the views were spectacular, and the host was super friendly and accommodating! We vacation in Florida every year and hope to move there in the very near future, this was one of the best houses and locations we have stayed at! If you are a fan of the Blue Angels, they will fly right over the house! Thank you, Donna, for sharing your home with us and for being so kind and courteous! We will defiantly be coming back!

You can't beat a private beach like this!
