About this property

Luxury Beach Home, Gated, Beach Front, Pool, Granite, Bay pier, bikes

Location, location, location!!!

'Beach Haven,' as we call our home, has 3200 sq. feet and was built in 2006. It is the first home as you enter a gated community of 15 homes and HAS THE BEST LOCATION OF ANY RENTAL PROPERTY WE KNOW OF ON PENSACOLA BEACH!!! Walk a few steps to the beach, the pool, the bay, or the bike path - or just sit on the balcony and watch the waves, the sunset, the surfers, and the dolphins! The physical address for the home is 1 Calle Marbella, Gulf Breeze, Florida.

Beach Haven has beautiful, sweeping, unobstructed views of the beach from the large windows in every room of the house. The living area is much larger than in most homes, and all bedrooms are upstairs. Two King Master Suites are located in the “towers” and have attached large bathrooms. The West Tower Suite has a shower and a soaking tub, while the East Suite has a shower only but does have the added bonus of a door leading directly to the outside balcony.

The two Queen Bedrooms share a bathroom with a shower only. Both of these Queen bedrooms have a loft bed built in over the closet. These beds are appropriate for children ages 12 and up. It is your responsibility to determine if your child (or adult for that matter) can safely navigate the ladder up to the loft bed. We simply can’t be responsible for any falls due to the use of the loft beds. The King bedrooms have plenty of floor space to accommodate air mattresses, but the Queen bedrooms do not.

The “Surf Shack” is located down in the garage and has two bunk beds, both with a queen on bottom / full on top. This room is not near a bathroom, but seems perfectly suited for tweens/teens to stay up all night playing video games and texting. Additional sleeping areas are located on the main living area, include two twin daybeds.

The beach is just a few feet away, however, you do have to cross a two lane road. Don't let this alarm you, the beach is VERY easy to access. I have stepped it off myself, and it is 100 steps from my door until I hit sand. A bike path runs right in front of the house also, so it is great fun and is very easy to ride bikes into town. The pool is about the same distance from the house as the beach. It is shared by all the houses in the subdivision and ranges from 3.5 feet to 6.5 feet at its deepest. Then, you can walk right down to the bay, which is about a block. The subdivision has a pier, and it is always fun to set out the crab trap. I’ve found that younger kids actually prefer playing in the bay area where there are less waves and lots of interesting creatures. Last year my kids found live sand dollars and collected and raced their own hermit crabs. I’ve also heard from my renters that the fishing from the pier is quite fun. You can see a video showing the house in relation to the pool/beach on the Beach Haven Face Book page.

OTHER FEATURES
The house has unique hardwood teak floors and ceilings, beautiful granite countertops, marble bathrooms, Wi-Fi, flat screen televisions in every bedroom, a front loading washer and dryer, and a fully stocked kitchen. All linens are provided. I provide enough paper products to get you started. What more could you want??!!

BOOKING INFORMATION
You will want to secure these dates as soon as possible, as we cannot hold your dates without a deposit. Please be aware that requests come in daily and I will book the first guests that meet the reservation criteria. If you decide to book Beach Haven:
Just Press Book Now
No pets, parties, or smoking allowed. Any evidence of any of these activities will result in a forfeiture of your entire deposit. If you have a boat or RV – it must be parked off site or fit in the garage. Our neighbors are only too happy to report parties or other neighborhood rule violations and persistent violations of any rules will result in your eviction from the house.

If for some reason you must cancel, please notify me IMMEDIATELY and I will work diligently to rebook the house in order that you may receive a full refund.

We want all of our guests to treat this home as if it were their own, well…maybe even better. We bought the house out of foreclosure last year and it was stripped to the bones – no door knobs, light fixtures, appliances … even the bathroom sinks were missing! We spent long hours restoring and furnishing the house, so we are looking for families and groups that will treat it (almost) as lovingly as we do. We trust that you are exactly the kind of guest(s) that we will welcome to this home again and again. Thank you for your interest in Beach Haven.

Excellent property!

Very impressed with this beast of a property. We had two adults and many, many teenagers for spring break. The house is located in a prime location in Pensacola, just a 3-5 min walk to the water. Since it’s the first house on the street, you get amazing views of the sea. The pool table was enjoyed every night by the adults and the kids. There is ample room for everyone to spread out! It’s not a modern and sterile rental home - this home has personality. It has books on the bookshelf and puzzles and games to play on rainy days. It was extremely well stocked for cooking and has two refrigerators to keep everything cool. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Best location on the beach for sunrise & sunset views without leaving your porch.

There are so many wonderful things to say about this beach rental; the home is beautifully decorated, great floor plan and the kitchen has everything you need, Perfect location for teens because they are walking distance from the beach and the sound. Our teens also loved the pool table and their own space downstairs. Hostess was great, very easy to work with. It was a perfect getaway for our Thanksgiving gathering and we look forward to returning to Beach Haven

Comfortable Stay

The house was just what the 10 of us needed; space to be together, and apart. It is in a great location with the beach just across the road, and the Gulf Islands National Seashore, east and west side of Santa Rosa Island, was easily accessed.

Great week with the family

We had a great week staying at this home. It was one of the best equipped homes that we have ever stated as far as the kitchen and beach toys that have been left behind. A few small issues that we had were addressed super fast and efficiently. You can tell that these owners take pride in their home and go above and beyond to make sure everything is ready for guests!! Would recommend for a large family for sure

Great location

A beautiful home with plenty of seating, towels and tons of beach toys. Beds in rooms are very comfortable. We used a couple of fans in the bunk room to help with air circulation and our teen granddaughter and her friend slept in that room. Great owners to work with and already booked our return vacation. Walkable to sound and gulf beach and the trolley stop is close-by.

Wonderful week in a wonderful property!

Everything was great. The house was spacious for our large family group and everyone loved the experience. The only negative thing is we encountered a mouse roming about with droppings everywhere. We were able to catch the mouse on the last day of our stay, but was wondering why to droppings were everywhere if the cleaning people had just been there when we arrived. We would love to stay there again in the future and woulid recomment it to everyone. Thanks again!!

Fantastic beach house!

Our group had a wonderful time staying at Beach Haven. The owners have done a fantastic job of thinking of everything people would need for a beach vacation. Some of our group flew, so they had limited ability to bring beach toys, towels, kitchen supplies, etc. The house had it all, which made the trip so much easier. Communication was great, and the house was described accurately. We had a wonderful time and would love to stay again in the future!

Great Stay

Short walk to the beach (3 yo had no problem walking without being carried), lots of room, tons of beach toys and chairs (and a wagon to cart it all back and forth AWESOME), kitchen is well supplied as well. The home is beautiful with lots of personal touches to it. You can tell that it’s loved. Neighborhood seems extremely safe, we accidentally left a car door wide open one night and everything was still there the next morning. It’s slightly further down from the main part of town without being far (couple minute drive), perfect location. We had a great time. 😁

Perfect access to beach!

This house is as beautiful as it is depicted in the pictures. We rented it for a week. The first half we had our adult children and their significant others. The second half of the week we invited couple friends. It was a few yards to beach access in that area it was not crowded whatsoever. The property owners were wonderful to work with and stayed in communication with us making sure we had everything.

I am Don Doty We live in Brookhaven, Mississippi (which we affectionately refer to as 'Mayberry') about 100 miles north of New Orleans. The best way to contact me is through e-mail or text.

Why they chose this property

We rented a house in the neighborhood with some friends just last summer and absolutely loved the location. We have been vacationing in Gulf Shores, AL, Destin, Ft. Walton Beach and have never had this great of a location - beach/pool/bay/bike path - it just makes for something to do all the time.

What makes this property unique

This is not your typical rental handled by an agency. Beach Haven and Sunset are the only rental properties we own at the beach and we have furnished it for OUR family to enjoy. We have many extras included that you will just not find in other homes. Plus, we have taken great care with the furnishings and decorations. You will love it.
