Waterfront Retreat w/ Private Dock & Sunset Views—Walk to Pensacola Beach
The dock. The Sound. The sunsets. The trolley at your door.
This beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath waterfront townhouse on Santa Rosa Sound puts you right on the water — with a private 100-foot dock, stunning water views from the living room, dining area, and master suite, and one of the most coveted locations on Pensacola Beach island.
Whether you're fishing off the dock at sunrise, watching dolphins cruise by in the afternoon, or settling in for a sunset that turns the Sound gold, this property delivers a genuine waterfront experience for families and groups of up to 8–10.
Why guests love this property:
Private 100-foot dock — fish, paddleboard, tie up your boat, or watch the Blue Angels fly overhead during air show week.
Trolley stop just in front of The Local — free island trolley (summer months) takes you straight to the beach, Casino Beach, and restaurants — no parking, no driving, no stress
The Local next door — wine shop, deli, groceries, and beach snacks steps from your door
5-minute walk to Pensacola Beach public access — best of both worlds: peaceful waterfront setting with beach access right around the corner

About the Area
You're on Santa Rosa Sound on Pensacola Beach island — one of the most scenic stretches of Florida's Emerald Coast. The Sound is calm, wildlife-rich, and stunning at sunset. The Gulf side is a short walk away. The island trolley runs past your front door in summer, giving you easy access to the whole island without ever needing to move the car.
This is also one of the best locations in the area for Blue Angels Air Show week (July) — the dock gives you a waterfront viewing platform that's hard to beat.

Blue Angels Air Show Week — July 15–18, 2026
This property is one of the best-positioned rentals on the island for air show week. The Blue Angels fly over Pensacola Beach and Santa Rosa Sound at 2 p.m. on Thursday (practice), Friday (dress rehearsal), and Saturday (official show) — and your private 100-foot dock puts you right on the water as they pass overhead.
Avoid the Casino Beach crowds and parking gridlock entirely. Watch from the dock with your group, coolers in hand, as the F-18 Super Hornets make their passes over the Sound. It doesn't get better than this.
Trolley access from your front door means you can head to Casino Beach for the full show experience, then retreat home when the post-show traffic backs up. Smart.

Wonderful place for families! Clean! 2 rooms with bathrooms attached. 10 min walk to beach… or can drop stuff off at entrance to beach! Got to see Blue Angles practice at Fort Pickens! That was free and awesome!
