Mature oak trees and lush landscaping provide natural shade and privacy, creating a peaceful sanctuary that feels far from crowds even though you're minutes from everything.
Private Boat Dock with Boat House: The crown jewel of this property is direct bay access with your own boat dock and boat house. Launch your boat at nearby Bal Alex Park boat ramp (just 1.4 miles away) and keep it docked right at the property throughout your stay. The dock accommodates boats up to 22 feet with maximum draft of 26 inches—bay boats, center consoles, World Cats, and Twin Vs work perfectly. Water averages 3-4 feet deep with sandy bottom, though it can get shallow at low tide (2 feet or less). Cleats provided for tie-up; boaters should bring their own bumpers. No lift available. This setup is ideal for fishing enthusiasts who want easy access to Pensacola Bay's excellent redfish, speckled trout, and flounder fishing, or for families who want to explore the bay and boat to nearby waterfront restaurants.

Multiple Deck Areas: French doors from the primary bedroom and living room open to deck spaces overlooking the bay, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Whether you're enjoying morning coffee watching the sunrise or evening cocktails as the sun sets, these outdoor living spaces connect you to the water.
