You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Coastal Haven by Gulf and Sound

TWO Gulf-View Balconies • Heated Pool • Gulf & Sound Access • King Suite • Family-Friendly



Wake up to shimmering Gulf views, spend your days with your toes in the sugar-white sand, and end each evening watching the sunset from your private balcony. Tucked away at the peaceful western end of Pensacola Beach near Fort Pickens, this spacious three-level waterfront retreat is where families reconnect, kids make lifelong memories, and beach days never feel long enough.



With room for up to eight guests, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds—just steps from both the Gulf of Mexico and the calm waters of the Sound. Whether you're swimming in the emerald Gulf, paddleboarding on the Sound, searching for shells, or simply relaxing by the water, everything you love about Pensacola Beach is right outside your door.



Highlights include:



Two private balconies with panoramic Gulf views

Direct access to both Gulf and Sound beaches

Heated waterfront community pool

Fully equipped chef's kitchen and spacious dining area for gathering

Primary suite with a Jacuzzi tub

Fun bunk room perfect for kids or additional guests

Peaceful location next to Fort Pickens and Gulf Islands National Seashore

Minutes from Peg Leg Pete's, The Grand Marlin, the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk, and other local favorites



Whether you're building sandcastles with the kids, spotting dolphins from the balcony, exploring Fort Pickens, or enjoying a quiet morning coffee while watching the waves roll in, this is the kind of place where life slows down, memories come naturally, and you'll already be planning your next beach vacation before this one ends.

Perfect for 3 Generation Family Vacation

This is a beautiful condo with amazing views of the Gulf. We brought my mom with us and the loft area was perfect for her. We love being able to walk to the beach. The kitchen and bathrooms are stocked better than most places we have stayed. Can't really walk to anything besides the beach but the drive is short.

Our stay at Idle Wave was fantastic! The property is clean, nicely furnished and provides a beautiful view of the Gulf. Everything you could possibly need for your stay is provided, including beach gear and every detail has been attended to. Our teenage sons and their friends enjoyed the downstairs area while my husband and I occupied the loft area. We could not have asked for better beach access to both the gulf and the bay. We would definitely return to this property.

Wonderful

We enjoyed our stay. The ocean view was wonderful. The condo was very nice and clean. We loved the clear water and white sand! Very relaxing to be on the beach during the day and play Uno in the evening and enjoy the view. We would also go watch the sunset from the canal. We loved it! Thank you!

Good host, clean condo

The condo was very clean and in a good location for families. We have small children and it wasnt too crowded. We stayed the first week of August and the sound was actually more rough than the gulf side. But the location was great so the beach wasnt too crowded. Communication was great with the host.

We had a girls trip to enjoy soaking up the sun. This was more like a home than just a condo. Next time we book it we will know to only bring our clothes. This beautifully decorated home was fully stocked. And had an icemaker that actually worked!! And Good beach chairs for customer use. The location was away from all the hustle and bustle of the stores/restaurants but the trolley took us right there. (Only runs til Labor Day weekend). Therefore it was a peaceful beach time! Not over crowded one bit!! At night seeing the moon and stars off the balcony was breathtaking. Wildlife spotting was also plentiful .At first I was bummed because it is across the street from the beach, BUT the walk was literally less than most wooden walkways connected to a beachfront. The owners communication with us was always easy and quick.
This appears to be AI, but it is not. Low lights b/c of turtle hatching timeframe. Just WOW-
One afternoon there was about 20 dolphins playing
He came basically everyday to fish
