About this house rental
UNIQUE SET-UP: you have access to not just one, but two private beaches. You are only 100 feet from your private sandy beach and private dock out back on the Northside, facing the Bay Beach. Out front on the South Side, you can start walking toward the Gulf Beach and in 5 minutes you will reach our neighborhood pathway to Gulf Beach. That area is not available to the general public. It's only available to folks staying in the neighborhood.
DOG FRIENDLY! We welcome up to 4 dogs! They enjoy our decks, our beaches, and the pet ammenities and comforts we provide.
OUTSTANDING VIEWS of BEAUTIFUL NATURE: Sunrise AND sunset is visible from the decks and also from double-height windows inside the house, The beach grass sways and you will often see Pelicans and Dolphins! Sit back and soak it all in.
YOUR OWN DOCK and PIER: Walk down private boardwalk 100 feet to the dock. Have fun fishing, or just relax and hang out. Boats can be parked under our large carport, and wheeled down to the water. Or you could moor it to the dock, depending on the size of your boat.
QUICK SUMMARY of INDOORS:
4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths plus outdoor enclosed shower. Spacious 2075 square foot open floor plan with 2nd floor loft/parlor overlooking living room. Huge windows with bay views everywhere in the soaring 18 foot high living room. Well-equipped kitchen has everything. Large laundry room with washer/dryer and sink. Free wifi internet & 3 large flat screen TVs.
OUTDOOR DECKS: Big, double deck out back on the North side faces the bay. Enjoy covered shade and open sunny areas, eating tables, super comfy chairs. Sliding doors in living room and master bedroom open up to this deck. Out front is your second covered deck with a clear view of the Gulf beach.
GRILL: Our Charcoal grill is set up underneath roofed area, with an awesome view of water while you cook.
BEST LOCATION ON THE STREET: Our house is the second to last house on the street (cull de sac). It's a very quiet location, and it's located at the point where the beach is much "wider". That ensures more space, and more privacy.
THIS IS THE MOST PET FRIENDLY PLACE YOU WILL FIND. We actually allow up to 4 dogs, any size. The Sundeck out back has a latched gate to contain the pups. As mentioned already, dogs are allowed on the bay beach and gulfside beach. We have a convenient outdoor doggy hose to wash them off AND we provide washable Dog Couch Covers and Dog Bed Covers when they relax indoors.
BIG CARPORT: Park your cars, trucks or boats under large, roofed carport with solid concrete pad. This pad has a superior design, perfect for water drainage to keep it dry.

8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
The kitchen was very well stocked. The bed and other furniture was comfortable. The view of the bay was quite pretty. The manager had an air conditioner repair company come very quickly, when there was a problem with one of the air conditioners.Overall, the place was clean, however, the throw rugs in the master bath were dirty, as well as deep dirt in corners. The front entrance landing area and front door were pretty dirty. The deck had cushions and beach items strewn about. The description was that the Gulf was across the street. True, but you can’t see from the front, nor just walk across the street. The approximate 1/4 mile walk to the access was easy, and fine for me to do, but a bit misleading.

Wonderful location and plenty of space. We loved the dock
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Lovely house, super location, wonderful to have a private dock. The dogs thoroughly enjoyed the garden and the beach. The house had everything we needed. Deborah, the rental agent, was fantastic. There were a couple of small issues and she fixed them immediately - seriously excellent customer service and a lovely lady. We look forward to returning next year.

We loved this place. The dock was our favorite. We spent most of our time sitting on the dock fishing and talking. I caught many fish including founder right off the dock. The views were spectacular. Would recommend to anyone wanting to relax and get away from a busy life. The house met all of our needs including preparing food that we caught. I would definitely revisit. The host was amazing and incredibly available when needed. Wonderful vacation.
