Bayfront Lodge-Beautiful & Unique East Bay Retreat

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 or 20 min from Pensacola Beach. 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, 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 gas, charcoal & electric 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 well-stocked kitchen, dining and family living rooms, and much outdoor seating, all overlooking the water. Featuring two kitchens, two laundry units, and ample space to sleep 24 people on mattresses (w/ 2 additional fold-up twins and a queen), this home is the ideal location for family reunions, conferences, and retreats.

Ideally flanked by two of the world's most beautiful beaches, Bayfront Lodge not only has it ALL – there’s space to bring EVERYONE! Enjoy captivating views throughout the house! Step on the covered deck & enjoy a warm cup of coffee. Feeling more adventurous? Organize a game of volleyball or take a yak for a spin. As the day winds to an end, wander down the dock to fish, gather around the fire pit, or star gaze over East Bay. Unbelievable sunsets, unparalleled serenity and forever memories await!

This house can be booked alongside Bayfront Cabin to sleep 33-38 people.
Bayfront also offers the use of both properties as event venues. For additional information about the types of packages we offer, please contact us. We would love to work with you to help create your ideal vacation or event.

This house was the perfect size for our family of 12…..and we didn’t even use 6 of the twin beds. It is located 30 minutes from Pensacola Beach. The house had so many fun activities that some days we didn’t leave the house. The owners communicated very well and were quick to respond. We will definitely stay at this house again.

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!

Family Christmas 2023

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.

Wonderful stay - can’t wait to go back!

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!

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.

Family Gathering Again

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.
