BAY HOUSE - Steps to its own Private Beach - Amazing Sunsets on the Water

This 3K sq. ft. mid-century home is on its own 144-foot HUGE private sand beach on Pensacola Bay just minutes from famous Palafox St. This fabulous property has beach chairs & toys, a firepit, kayaks & unparalleled Florida fun just around the corner from fun bars, breweries, restaurants, ferries, culture, etc., etc., etc.

The immaculate Bay House is the only vacation rental in Pensacola that is right on its own large private beach just feet from Pensacola Bay. Walk out your back door and you are literally right there…on the sand beach and wading in the clean salt water. The beach has its own fire pit surrounded by six Adirondack chairs to sit and roast marshmallows, watch fireworks many Friday’s and Saturday’s, and chill with a cold drink with your toes in the sand.

Collect seashells and sea glass on the beach or swim or wade right from your own beach. Take the kayaks out for a ride around the bay or to nearby Bayou Chico to see the million dollar yachts as you pass pelicans, dolphins and other sea-life.

On many Tuesdays and Wednesdays in season, you can watch the famous Blue Angels F-18 Super Hornets practicing their highflying stunt maneuvers right in front of the Bay House. This property is DEFINITELY one-of-a-kind for an unforgettable and unmatched beach experience ever.

Bay House
We arrived to find a surprisingly good location and VRBO. The house is creatively decorated with various nautical themes and everything they could think of to ensure a pleasant stay. They also provide things that you might not expect, like kayaks and beach toys, which go great with the private beach. The private beach was amazing. The first night we were there, we were kayaking and had dolphins swimming around us. The house is in a good neighborhood and is very centrally located and close to great restaurants and attractions. We highly recommend this Bay House for you and your family.

Hideaway Private Beach!
We had a great time at the Bay House. The private beach was amazing. It was truly private. There were several kayaks that the we all enjoyed, beach toys for the little ones, plenty of beach chairs, and a fire pit on the beach. The morning we were leaving, we saw dolphins. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked with the necessities. It was very nostalgic for my husband. It reminded him of going to the beach house as a kid. All the kids and grandkids had a blast. We will definitely be back.

Perfect for families with young kids
Was beautiful! Still the ocean, but not deep water right around the house. Our kids were able to play by the shore as much as they wanted. We watched the Blue Angels practice one morning. Having a private beach area was definitely worth it!

Beautiful private beach!
The private beach and location of the home was amazing! The home was very clean and fit our 2 families (4 adults and 2 kids) well. The decor is unique and had antique items which may not be good for young kiddos. The host was easy to communicate with before and during the stay. The only reasons it’s not an overall 5 star is that there were a couple soft spots in the flooring in the kitchen which need to be fixed and we weren’t able to use the grill. It was too dirty and there were only 2 burners that worked. Overall we enjoyed our time there and would go back!

Summer Family Vacation
Great house and super location on Pensacola Bay. Private sandy beach was a huge plus so we didn't have to drive to a public beach. Had a great time riding scooters around town, attending a street festival, shopping at Joe Patti's, visiting the Naval Air Museum, historic lighthouse, and a lot of other things. Pensacola is one of my favorite cities and I plan on returning in the future.

Great house with a beautiful private beach. It was rainy when we were there so a comfortable couch for movies and an indoor dining table would have been nice.

Comfortable and relaxing
This place is perfect for relaxing and recharging. The view is amazing and the beach is literally just steps from the back porch. The house is older but has all you need. It reminded all the adults of going to your grandparents house, it’s not fancy but feels very welcoming. The neighbors are kind and welcoming and there is a park just down the street for younger kids to play if needed. Definitely looking forward to coming back again

Best experience for the whole family
We took our mother vacation to see the beach. She is 73 and probably won't be able to make that trip again. She loved it and said was the best vacation she had ever had. Just can't say enough about the whole experience. Highly recommend.

This is paradise!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This property is so unbelievably perfect! The private beach is truly private - there were days when we did not see anyone other than our family. We're not sure we can ever stay on a public beach again! And for those of you women who are typically warm, this house A/C is phenomenal even at night. I know that sounds silly but it's such a huge perk! The kitchen is big enough for at least 5 adults and an infant, the beds are all comfortable. We took the bikes out in the neighborhood, and our family tried kayaking for the first time! We made so many memories here! Donna is available with just a text, and she gave us great recommendations for restaurants and carry out. Thanks Donna and Joe for a beautiful experience!

WOW!! I cannot say enough good about this property and host. Everything was as pictured and described. Donna was excellent and always quick to answer questions and take care of all of our needs. The house had everything that you could want for a vacation and more. The beach was right out the back door. Couldn't ask for a better location and vacation. If you're coming to Pensacola this is the place to book!!

Stayed 3 nights and plan to go again!! Great house fantastic location. It is close to downtown Pensacola and just two bridges away from a public beach. Although we definitely preferred the private beach at the house. The house was clean very spacious and the beds were comfy. Unique atmosphere everywhere. The back porch was lovely and great to enjoy view of ocean out of the sun. We even got to see Blue Angels practice. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful stay
Overall amazing place to stay. The back yard is incredibly beautiful and has an amazing view! We had a small wedding ceremony here and it was such a beautiful place to have it. The hosts were super nice and easy to talk to. Plenty of room in the house and cute little attached cottage. Only complaints are that the bathroom in the little cottage is very small and if you are over 6 ft tall you will have to squat to use the shower (which is objectively funny), and that the main shower in the house needs some maintenance. Other than that, a great place to stay right on your own little private spot on the water.

Home away from home 🏡
My husband and were just married on New Years Eve and wanted a nice quiet place to stay on the beach ⛱ we found it here at Sanders Beach! We absolutely loved it!!! Watching the sunrise every morning and listening to the ocean waves on our own private beach was just what we needed ❤ The home was clean and comfy. The owner was very attentive to our needs which wasn't very much since they offered everything we wanted. Loved this place and definitely will be back!!! ❤

Great Bayfront Home - October 2022
My husband leased this property for my birthday because of the bayfront location. We love to fish and sit by the water til sunset. Nice, quiet neighborhood and neighbors. interior of the home is more like a museum than an actual live-in dwelling. Lots of old fixtures and charm, but it won't give you that comfortable, warm fuzzy, home-away-from-home feeling if that's what you're seeking. The retro bathroom tile and fixtures brought back sweet memories of my great grandmother's home. The kitchen appliances are really retro and adorable! We never used them because we were afraid we'd damage them :) We TRULY enjoyed the OUTSIDE of the home MORESO than the inside. This home should be given some kind of historic landmark honor because it just has that kinda feel. Mrs. Donna was gracious enough to share the home's rich history with us. The rooms were nice but the bed was not comfortable. My husband has serious allergies and he was stuffed up the whole time because the home had a closed up scent and it needed a good thorough dusting. I'm a stickler for ceiling fans. I won't even turn one on until after I've inspected it. All of the celing fans were dusty. We could not open the blinds or windows because they were stuck and appeared to not have been dusted or cleaned. The REAL selling point of this property is the outdoor area. The private bayfront is ALL THAT! For the price though, the interior should be better kept and more comfortable for guests with children/families. Thanks to our hosts for their hospitality and kindness.
