Beautiful setting directly on East Bay with its own private boat ramp. Bring your boat! This six bedroom, five bath home is located only 15 minutes from the pristine Navarre Beach, one of only ten National Seashores and eight miles of undeveloped gulf-front. Four out of seven of the world’s sea turtle species nest along this seashore—also home to towering dunes, migratory birds, and miles of trails for exploring. Not too far from Pensacola Beach, not too far from Navarre Beach, but very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of Pensacola.
Everything you need is close, but you are still nestled in a residential neighborhood.
Private and serene, this beautiful bay-front home boasts the tranquility of a lake house, the recreational potential of a beachfront cottage, and endless possibilities for summer entertaining or an engaging winter get-away. The boat ramp offers access to all that East Bay and Pensacola Bay have to offer, including access to the Gulf of Mexico. With multiple layers of lookout decks, covered porches, and a dock, this home has amazing sunset views to offer all year long.
Enjoy watching dolphins swim around the dock while sitting on the expansive patio. There is a fire pit as well as two grills for guests to enjoy.
This unique home has a beautiful open floor plan with gorgeous natural light and timeless cedar and cypress beams. It is well-equipped with a gourmet kitchen, formal and family living rooms, a formal dining room, and outdoor dining, all overlooking the water. Featuring two kitchens, two laundry units, and ample space to sleep 24 people on mattresses (w/ 3 additional fold-up twins), this home is the ideal location for family reunions, conferences, and retreats.

Bayfront Lodge was everything we could have hoped for. We had plenty of space and amenities. Our family are pretty serious cooks and enjoyed a well stocked kitchen including quality pots and pans and a wide assortment of tools and appliances. The 3 refrigerators accommodated everything we brought. Paddle boards and kayaks were so much fun! The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. We would definitely return!

This property was absolutely perfect for our annual family vacation. We travel with a large group and this house was more than accommodating for all of us! The house was absolutely stunning! I would recommend this property to everyone that is looking to stay in the Gulf Breeze area. We couldn't have asked for a better property to host our vacation.

What an awesome property to host our family (17) for our Christmas vacation 2023. The amenities were amazing from the kitchen to the Master suite, upstairs apartment and the crows nest. Anything you could possibly need is right there for your use. The grandkids enjoyed my serenading of Sittin on the Dock of the Bay when I’d head outside. The kids, wife and even myself enjoyed kayaking as well as paddle boarding We hope to book this property again during a warmer time of year.

Beautiful retreat like lodge setting with lots of space for extended family. Incredible waterfront with our favorite part…big dock for hanging on the water for meals and games and sun. Owners/managers were fantastic. Looking for our next opportunity to return.

Space to have your own downtime and big family togetherness each day! Paddleboarding, reading, kayaking, cooking and eating, playing games, swimming, and enjoying the calm waters and breezes. :-)

We had such a wonderful stay at Bayfront lodge for our family reunion. I would 100% recommend it to anyone. Even though we had 25 in our group, we felt there was plenty of room and lots of amenities for everyone. The apartment area was especially nice for my niece who had a 4 month old baby. That back room was easier to keep quiet for naps and the extra kitchen was perfect for making bottles. Grocery shopping and the beautiful Navarre beach being close was great. Hosts were so friendly and communication was perfect. Being right on the water was so magical, especially at sunset. We enjoyed eating meals and fishing from the dock. Even saw some dolphins and rays while out on the kayaks. We are so hoping to return again in the future!

Great place to celebrate our parents 50th wedding anniversary with family from across the USA! They made it very easy and were extremely helpful. Not always easy to find a place that can work with our wheel-chair bound son and a large extended family--but this place was awesome!

We loved everything about our stay, the house was spacious, had everything we needed, lots of outdoor space to hang out. It was perfect for a family gathering. It was such a blessing we could all be there together comfortably.

Amazing property equipped with everything and anything you need to spend wonderful time with large group of people. Pictures and video on Vimeo don’t do it justice.
What makes it even better is the amazing people that welcome and accommodate us, Diana and Jim. Very responsive to our concerns and requests.
To Carol, thanks for opening your home to us, it was an experience our group of families and fiends will never forget.

This was our second stay at this peaceful lodge which our family enjoys. The relaxing time and use of the water equipments were a hit for the young adults. The pier was a hot spot for fishing and use of the crab nets. The most memorable time is watching a sunrise and sunset, spectacular! We would use again and again.

The property is gorgeous, so clean, has everything you need. We only left the house for ice! The bay is gorgeous and we saw dolphins every day. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. Diana and her team have a strong attention to detail and want you to have the perfect stay! This is my second time at the lodge and we will be going back!

The Cabin and The Lodge had everything imaginable and more when it came to cooking, relaxing, enjoying the water, and outdoors.
We all enjoyed the amenities and each other. We only went to the beach 2 of the 7 days!
Thank you for sharing your homes with us!

The host was very helpful and provided us with information to make our stay memorable. overall it was 5 stars! we hope to return in the future .

Have stayed at different large houses for several years for New Years week.. this house was right at the top but having to stay quiet once 9pm came made it difficult.

Wow, we loved BayFront Lodge and the water and the surroundings. We were welcomed into a warm and inviting home, decorated for Christmas! Twelve of us, including my parents and my 2 siblings and I and our partners and children, (both grown children and pre-teens), enjoyed a week of special times at BayFront Lodge. The Lodge has wonderful group spaces for all of us to gather, including the large family room, open kitchen and huge back deck; as well as plenty of charming, private spaces/bedrooms with balconies, when some of us wanted to read or nap or have some quiet time. During the cooler days, we played many games, read books, enjoyed the backyard fire pit, took walks, enjoyed coffee in the backyard and on the pier looking at the water. On the warmer days, we used the paddle boards and canoes, went swimming and visited Navarre Beach and other local beaches. Our hosts were SO nice and so responsive. We were treated like family. Thank you Carol, Diane and Beryl!

This house was amazing, spacious, and beautiful. The manager was so kind and helpful, going above and beyond what was expected of a manager. The owner, Carol, always answered my questions within minutes, and so did Diana, the manager. The backyard was set up so pretty with lots of seating and a nice fire pit. I loved the lighting along the porch and on the dock. The pillows were comfortable. The back deck/patio area was a fun and pretty place to hang out. We had two nights of making s’mores around the fire pit. The dock was fun. The water was only like four feet or less for a very long ways. So we didn’t worry about our kids, all ages 12 and up. We saw dolphins a few times, once from our deck and once while canoeing a ways out. We were so happy with our decision to stay at Bayfront Lodge. We definitely hope to go back!!! Thank you, Carol and Diana!!!

Bayfront Lodge was in a great location and they were very accommodating with any questions or needs that we had. We had a wonderful time and loved being on the water. Look forward to coming back again!

This place is perfect for a large group. The setup was good and we were so very comfortable there. Ours was a family week and we had four generations there together. The place was just what we needed. We may do it again and get the small house too. Thank you!

Could not have ask for anything better. Non stop swimming and playing in the bay to just mins away from the ocean. Lots of room to spread out and lots to do around the house or out in the community. Beautiful property in a beautiful location. Don't miss it.

Carol made renting the house such an easy process. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking to get away and relax. There is something for everyone and the house is absolutely amazing!! We did not want to leave! This has been a dream of mine and it has far exceeded my expectations!! The Bayside is so calm and relaxing, great for the little ones without too much worry and super close to the ocean with the sugar white beaches. Diana and Jim we're there to great us and were available if we needed anything. The house was so clean when we got there, their staff did an amazing job!

Great Place for a family getaway. Owner was a joy to deal with and will definitely be looking at this property in the future.

This house by the bay has many things to offer in a beautiful setting. The beach is only 15 minutes away.We had 2 families with 11 total people and could have easily had 1-2 more families with all the space. Unique setup with different levels, beds and room types.We enjoyed as much time as we could outside. The deck, dock, fire pit and landscaping are put together well. We utilized the canoes and paddle boards in the garage quite often during our stay. It was quite easy to get them in and out for adults and kids on very calm water.Overall a great place with plenty of room for multiple families. Our interaction with the property owners was easy and helpful. We would certainly return in the future.

Due to the pandemic, we were unable to celebrate my husband’s military retirement with a formal ceremony. We chose instead to rent the Bayfront Lodge for our immediate family and close friends. It was the best decision we made! The lodge was immaculate and so incredibly beautiful! We would absolutely recommend to others. Looking out over the ocean in the morning with a cup of coffee was refreshing, and we made memories in the evenings sitting around the fire pit watching the sun go down. We had a wonderful time!
