Family fun at the shore
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.

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 Facebook page.

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 and it was stripped to the bones – no doorknobs, 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.
