Emerald Waves Hideaway - Free Heated Pool & Gaming

Your Private Gulf Coast Retreat - Less than 10 minutes from America's #1 Beach



Welcome to EMERALD WAVES HIDEAWAY, a newly renovated 3-bedroom home designed for families seeking the perfect Florida beach vacation. Enjoy the best of both worlds: Pensacola Beach (named the top beach in the USA by Condé Nast Traveler) just minutes away, plus your own oasis with a private heated pool and game room for ultimate flexibility and comfort.



Prime Location:

Nestled in peaceful Gulf Breeze, you're ideally positioned between multiple award-winning beaches and local attractions. Pensacola Beach's world-renowned sugar-white sands are less than 10 minutes away, Navarre Beach 20 minutes, with restaurants, shopping, golf, and family entertainment all nearby.

The Property:

Our spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests. You'll find luxury DreamCloud king beds in the master bedrooms with premium linens throughout, plus a third bedroom with bunk beds perfect for kids.

Amenities That Make a Difference:

Private heated pool in screened lanai—no bugs, no crowds, no extra fees. Swim morning or evening in complete privacy.

New game room with entertainment for all ages, perfect for downtime between beach adventures.

Fully equipped kitchen with premium appliances including air fryer, blender, and everything you need to prepare family meals.

Coffee and tea bar equipped with Keurig and drip coffee maker to start your mornings off right.

Beach essentials provided—chairs, umbrella, and toys so you can head straight to the sand.

Why Families Choose Us:

You're not paying luxury beachfront prices, yet you're close enough to experience America's best beach daily.

It's the space, privacy, and value that hotel rooms and beachfront condos simply can't match.

We had a great time at Emerald Waves Hideaway! It was the perfect space for our family, and we especially enjoyed the privacy and the heated pool.

This is a lovely, clean, cozy, beach home with well kept yards in a friendly neighborhood. The bright cool colors and beach decor inside were a perfect welcome to our vacation. The pool and game room were such fun added treats for our kids (and for me, I have to admit). The beds were comfy and everything was in working order. Our host was very polite, patient, and quick to respond; he was very easy to talk with. The only suggestion I would make is to bring a kitchen sponge for cleaning pots and pans. Everything was great. We’d definitely stay here again.

Outstanding location, very convenient to Downtown Pensacola, Navarre Beach, and short drives to Elgin and NSA Pensacola. Plethora of restaurants nearby, would recommend the Pointe, Golf Club Restuarant/Pub for some great steaks. Rooms were well apportioned and decorated, comfortable beds and linens. Onsite laundry made the long stay enjoyable. Easy check in and out, excellent rapport with host, Wayne, Everything was above board, making it a stellar location for those having business or just a well deserved vacation in Gulf Breeze.

Great location and fun property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emerald Waves! The heated pool and game room were a big hit with our kids. We loved having space for the in-laws to join us too. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The location was great to visit both downtown Pensacola and Pensacola Beach. The neighborhood was quiet and well decorated at Christmas! We will definitely stay here again when we visit the area.

We loved our stay Emerald Waves Hideaway. The house was very clean. The neighborhood was nice, quiet, and conveniently located with restaurants and grocery stores within a close distance. The property owner always responded quickly to any questions/emails. We especially enjoyed lazy evenings by the pool. We highly recommend staying here and would stay again if we are ever in the area.

I truly enjoyed my stayed at the home. Communication was smooth. I loved that the TV remotes all worked with each TV, it made it easy when a tv remote died during our trip. No complaints. The pool and game room was the highlight of our stay. Everything was clean and provided amenities like ice cooler, chairs, umbrellas and toys for the beach!

Spring break vacation

We had a wonderful time at the property as the house/pool/game room were perfect for our family. When we arrived the pool heater was not working and the pool water was cold, but as soon as we told Wayne, he had someone over the next day to address the issue promptly and were able to enjoy both the pool and surrounding aria of Gulf Breeze/Pensacola. For anyone traveling with kids/teens we highly recommend this property, thanks!

This place is great! Wayne communicated everything thoroughly and clearly. He noticed the WiFi was down when we arrived and called to fix it before we even had our car unloaded! He is on top of things! The house had an abundance of towels (bath and beach), the showers had shampoo/conditioner provided, the screened in pool was fantastic and had lots of floats and toys. The kitchen had everything we needed plus extra trash bags, dish soap, dishwasher pods and a fully stocked coffee bar area! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The lawn and pool guys were quick and non intrusive. If we ever return to that area we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
