Updated Beach Escape with Private Pool, Spa & Fast WiFi - Walk to the Gulf
Blissful Beach Retreat
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Welcome to paradise by the beach! An opportunity like this doesn't come around often, as this home is located west of Gulf Drive and steps away from the Gulf of Mexico. The secluded location is away from the traffic noise and just steps to a private beach, so you will have your own sense of peace and quiet away from it all. The newly remodeled kitchen is absolutely adorable with bright accents and modern appliances, and a brand new Roman-style pool and spa await out back. The first floor features a separate bedroom and bath that would be ideal for elderly family members or teenagers who want a little separation from the adults upstairs. This beach shack is situated on an extra-large lot and has been owned by the same family for generations with much love. Relax on the front porch for morning coffee with Gulf breezes and then gather around the firepit in the evenings.
Things to Know
Pool heat is included and maintained at 80°F. Additional pool heat to 85°F is available upon request for $32 per day plus tax. A 48 hour notice is required. Heat may not be available if temperatures drop below 65 degrees. We will not be accepting payments for pool heat for the months of May through October
Snowbird-friendly
This property has a 7-night stay requirement.
This property's maximum occupancy is limited to 6 guests.
Code enforcement notification: You are vacationing in a residential area. Please be a good neighbor by keeping the noise to a respectful level during the day and night. Excessive and unreasonable noise can deprive neighbors of the peaceful enjoyment of their private property.

Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”).
