Bayfront Lodge-Beautiful & Unique East Bay Retreat

NOTE: If your group is large and need more accommodation, please see my adjacent vacation rental at Vrbo # 1014417.

Beautiful setting directly on East Bay with its own private boat ramp. Bring your boat! This six bedroom, five bath home is located only 15 minutes from the pristine Navarre Beach, one of only ten National Seashores and eight miles of undeveloped gulf-front. Four out of seven of the world’s sea turtle species nest along this seashore—also home to towering dunes, migratory birds, and miles of trails for exploring. Not too far from Pensacola Beach, not too far from Navarre Beach, but very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Pensacola.

Everything you need is close, but you are still nestled in a residential neighborhood.

Private and serene, this beautiful bay-front home boasts the tranquility of a lake house, the recreational potential of a beachfront cottage, and endless possibilities for summer entertaining or an engaging winter get-away. The boat ramp offers access to all that East Bay and Pensacola Bay have to offer, including access to the Gulf of Mexico. With multiple layers of lookout decks, covered porches, and a dock, this home has amazing sunset views to offer all year long.

Enjoy watching dolphins swim around the dock while sitting on the expansive patio. There is a fire pit as well as two grills for guests to enjoy.

This unique home has a beautiful open floor plan with gorgeous natural light and timeless cedar and cypress beams. It is well-equipped with a gourmet kitchen, formal and family living rooms, a formal dining room, and outdoor dining, all overlooking the water. Featuring two kitchens, two laundry units, and ample space to sleep 24 people on mattresses (w/ 3 additional fold-up twins), this home is the ideal location for family reunions, conferences, and retreats.

This house was the perfect size for our family of 12…..and we didn’t even use 6 of the twin beds. It is located 30 minutes from Pensacola Beach. The house had so many fun activities that some days we didn’t leave the house. The owners communicated very well and were quick to respond. We will definitely stay at this house again.

Amazing vacation for our family!

The house was perfect. We felt like we were in an island of our own. The kids spent hours in the warm waters.....safe for all ages and we had dolphins swim around us almost daily. It’s a perfect place for a big family to enjoy and make memories. We would definitely love to rent the Gulf Breeze Lodge again next year.

Amazing Place to stay!

This is the second time we have stayed at Bayfront. The first year we enjoyed the cabin. This year we had a much larger group so we decided on the lodge. We were very pleased. It is the perfect location, just a short drive to Navarre Beach and it offers plenty to entertain the family right there at the lodge as well. The house was very accommodating and clean. We will definitely be back.
