About this property

White Sands Cottages - Gulf & Bay Views & Access - 4 BR/3.5 BA

New home, finished in May 2002. This spacious home has spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico on one side and beautiful views of the Little Sabine Bay and Sound on the other side. The living floor is on the third floor with high ceilings. On the Gulf side is a large deck with two sets of tables and chairs. On the bay side is a balcony with a gas grill.

There is a full kitchen with a dishwasher, microwave, etc., and Corian counters and sink. There are three TVs in the home with a VCR and DVD in the living area. An intercom makes it easy to call everybody to dinner. We have everything you need!

On top of the house is a fourth-floor open deck that virtually the entire island can be viewed from.

The walkway to the Gulf is 50 feet from the property down our driveway, with no roadways to cross. Next to this walkway is one-fourth mile of dune preservation area, which gives you an undeveloped and unobstructed beach to enjoy. Across the street behind the house is Little Opal Beach, which gives you an unobstructed access to this quiet beach. You can even pull your boat up here.

Within walking distance, approximately one mile, is the center of Pensacola Beach with shopping, restaurants, and nightlife.

The large, master bedroom has a king-size bed with a large bathroom with a whirlpool bath and two sinks. The remaining three bedrooms have large, queen-size beds. There are two futons in the living area that make two more double-size beds. All bathrooms are tile floors and cultured marble vanities. There is even an outside shower to rinse off when coming from the beach!

You must be 25 years of age or older to rent the property. Families only, please.

Security deposit: A security deposit of $500 will be required. This payment will be refunded within 15 days of departure, providing there is no damage or missing items. If replacements of missing items and/or repairs to the property are required as a result of your stay, the security deposit will be applied to offset these costs. You will be responsible for the entire cost of the repairs, including lost rentals, even if the cost exceeds the security deposit.

Payment: To confirm the reservation, one half of the rent is due as a deposit at the time the reservation is made. The balance of rent, taxes and security deposit must be received two weeks before the date of arrival. If payment is made by check, the balance would be due three weeks prior to arrival.

Great Easter weekend

This was a great house for 3 couples and a teen. Very spacious and well furnished with amazing beach access. I wasn't prepared for the number of stairs but once all luggage and supplies were brought up was able to better control the number of trips. Garage and outdoor shower definitely a bonus

Beautiful and spacious home

We stayed here for spring break with family. Four of my grands had never been to a beach before, and now they can’t wait to come back. The house is clean, comfortable, spacious, and so easy to get to the beach. Very gracious owners, easy to communicate with

Pure bliss…

This place was perfect for us! The deck was the place my adult sons and I spent hours talking and connecting in the wee hours of the morning. The stars, the sound of the waves…it was exactly what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and supplies; the entire place was clean. There was plenty of room for us and the closeness to the beach was the best!! We had one small insignificant issue and the owner responded quickly. (Turns out I should have changed the lightbulb 😝). We would definitely stay here again!

Cleanliness

We were surprised that the kitchen had not been cleaned properly. This was our 4th visit to this house, it has always been cleaned very well. We're wondering if it's a new cleaning crew. There was even an empty water bottle on the floor in the master bedroom. We cleaned the kitchen and had a fantastic time in this house.

Anniversary Trip

Honestly, the listing on VRBO doesn't do this place justice. This place was very comfortable for my wife and I, our three kids, and each kid brought a guest, everyone over the age of 16. Check in was easy, you don’t have to do anything, the owner sends you an email with the garage codes and you’re in! Three bed rooms on one floor, master has a huge bathroom with shower big enough for two and a jacuzzi tub. The other two bedrooms on that floor share a bathroom but each bedroom has its own toilet/sink and then they share a shower. The 4th bedroom is on the floor with the kitchen, dining room, and living room and has a full bathroom. The kitchen is fully stocked, enough place sitting for probably 20 people at least. Plus all the kitchen stuff you’d need for whatever you might be cooking. There’s a balcony off the dining room where you can see the gulf. Plus there’s a top deck where you can see the gulf and the bay as well. The ground floor has the garage and outdoor shower perfect from coming home from the beach and rinsing off. The beach is probably a three minute walk and where this place is located the beach wasn’t busy at all. There are some beach toys/chairs/wave boards there, we left some wave boards and noodles for the next people as well. The only negative I would mention. The outside balcony is above the master bedroom and maybe needs a rug under the chairs/tables, the noise of moving chairs from our kids after we went to bed got loud several times.

We had the best week staying here! Perfect for our family of 10. House had everything you needed and more. House has a 4 car garage but only will fit smaller vehicles- no trucks which all my family had but vehicles were manageable parked elsewhere. Excellent walking distance to beach. Very accommodating.

This was not our first time staying at this property. We chose to return due to the location and what the property has to offer. We have communicated with the owner over the past few years that we have stayed and he has always been very quick to respond with any questions or concerns. We have always enjoyed our two week stay. Thanks for another amazing two weeks!

This house was everything as advertised and more. The proximity to the beach was second to none and the location was centrally located for all of our planned activities. There was plenty of room for 11 of us, age ranges from 9 months to 53. Access to the beach is literally 50 feet away and it wasn't crowded the whole week which really made the experience that much better. We set up on the beach first thing in the morning and went to and from throughout the day. We spent the mornings drinking coffee on the deck and the evenings on the top floor deck watching the sun set with our favorite beverages. The grandkids favorite activity was catching crabs on the beach in the evenings. Overall, I highly recommend this home and will be back in the future.

PERFECT!!

We have stayed at many different homes between Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach and this is the very first place that we have zero complaints about. Maybe not complaints, but the first house we can't say, "it'd be perfect if it was just for..." This house was perfect. Had everything you needed. It was by far the cleanest house we've ever been in. Even out on the deck the window sills were clean! Beds were all super comfortable. I love the room/bathroom setup as the 2nd floor has the master & bath and two queen rooms with a shared tub/shower, but a jack and jill bathroom so each room has their own toilet/sink. (only one room has a direct door to the bathroom, the other has to go through the hall) All three showers had excellent water pressure (this is normally our biggest complaint as we all have very long thick hair). We loved the whole house speakers/radio/intercom. We will definately be coming back to stay here.

Steinbach stay

We greatly enjoyed our stay. It was very close to beach. It had all the things we needed and plenty of space! It was much appreciated. I will add that there was work being done on the house next door that could get loud, we just tried to be gone during the day. This has nothing to do with the owners and they could not control that but it was noisy.

20 Stars out of 10

The house was clean and very well laid out. We had 7 people in the house and never felt crammed. The deck is right off the living room and the rooftop deck was a lot of fun. Had plenty of seating on both decks. There is a huge kitchen table for eating and games! The kitchen is very well stocked with pots, pans, tableware, cups and glasses. Having the grill right off the kitchen was very convenient! There is not a huge view of the beach, but having the house so close to the beach was awesome! The bedrooms were good-sized with plenty of bathrooms. Would definitely stay there again.
