Big Daddy's Cottage-Gulf Front Private Home Sleeps 22

With brand-new flooring, furniture, and bedding throughout, this beautifully updated beachfront home is ready to welcome your group of up to 22 guests in comfort and coastal style. The moment you walk in, the sweeping, unobstructed Gulf views through the wall of windows and the spacious private deck will put you in instant relaxation mode.
The open-concept layout on the main floor is designed for togetherness, whether you’re cooking meals, playing games, or simply soaking up the view of the emerald-green water and soaring seagulls. A large flat-screen TV anchors the cozy living space, and there’s plenty of room to dine with two tables that each seat six, plus a breakfast bar with seating for ten.
This level also features a king-sized primary bedroom with Gulf views and a private en suite bath. Down the hall, one bedroom offers two queen beds and shares a full bath across the hall. On the opposite side of the home are two more bedrooms—each with two queen beds—and a third full bath in between. A full-sized laundry room completes this floor for added convenience.
Upstairs, a second living space invites you to kick back and relax. Multiple couches face another large flat-screen TV, and a table for four is perfect for board games or cards. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer more stunning Gulf views, creating an ideal spot to unwind after a day in the sun.
Also on this floor are two additional bedrooms, each with two queen beds. They share a Jack-and-Jill style full bath, making five full bathrooms in total—each with a tub/shower combo. Every bedroom is outfitted with a flat-screen TV, ensuring comfort and privacy for everyone in your group.
A private dune crossover leads you straight to the sand, making it easy to set up your beach gear and get your toes in the water. After a day of sun and surf, fire up the gas grill for a seaside dinner. With parking for 10 cars, there’s space for everyone to come together.
This is a non-pet-friendly home. Smoking is not permitted inside or on the property, and events are not allowed. Minimum age to rent is 25.
Big Daddy once hosted his large family and friends at this beloved beach house each year. It was a home filled with laughter, relaxation, and reconnection. Though he is no longer with us, his family hopes that the tradition continues with your group—and that you create your own lifelong memories in this special place.

Loved the location and the house. The only thing I would improve on in the listing is to show a floor plan of the house. The beach and water were perfect! I loved the lack of people on the beach by us.

The layout was perfect for our large family and the views were outstanding! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and has lots of room for large groups to gather. The private walk-over was amazing as was the outdoor shower. We can't wait to come back next year!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Ive rented many homes for family and vacations and Christian retreats but this location by far was THE BEST. From the get go- the customer service from the management company was exceptional. I made a call to them on the first day requesting more utensils and within 10 mins the utensils arrived! The home was clean, spacious and the kitchen had all the extra stuff needed such as blender, mixer, big pots, etc.... Coming back soon!

This was one of the best vacations that my family has had together, probably all time. We have been coming to the Gulf Coast (mostly Destin) since 1987 ( we have only missed 3 years int that time frame), but this was by far one of the best. The house was perfect and just steps from the beach. It was clean and well furnished for a large group. Blue Moon did a great job of getting us in and they were very responsive if we had a question and they checked on us regularly. I would and will definitely stay here again,

The house had all the amenities we needed. Very easy access to shopping destinations and attractions on the beach or on the mainland. We enjoyed walks on the pier to observe dolphins, fish and sea turtles. I would recommend this property for large families and groups with children. We hope to visit again in the future.

We loved having large windows to enjoy the beautiful water even when we were in the house. The boardwalk was great especially for us older ones to not have to trudge through the sand. The house is beautiful and well equipped. The management group really easy to work with from first to last contact.

The kids/teens loved the upstairs living area and felt they had their own private place to stay. The house was neat and clean and had everything we needed. It was perfect for our family gathering.One minor issue: the shower in the upstairs bathroom did not work; apparently the faucet was painted over and you could not turn on the shower lever.

There was plenty of room for everyone, the views were spectacular, and beach access was very handy. Comfortable furnishings made it feel like home. We did a lot of cooking and everything we needed was there in the kitchen. The rental company was always quick to respond to questions by text, even after hours. Everyone, ages 65 to 6 months, had a great time at Big Daddy’s

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My extended family has staying at this particular location several times over the years when it was managed by companies other than Blue Moon. What a positive change!! The house is very comfortable and has all the amenities needed for a large family. We had one issue due to the freezing weather which was fixed within a couple of hours of my calling. Blue Moon staff is very responsive and courteous. The beach is gorgeous and there are awesome sunrises and sunsets! I would definitely recommend Navarre Beach and this particular property to anyone looking for time away with family.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The moment you walk in the door and see the "emerald green" waters, your vacation begins! No crowds in front of your beach house, it's like your own private beach, even during Memorial Day week. Always had a quick response from Blue Moon Vacation Rentals, very easy to work with! Great lay-out with upstairs and downstairs living areas. Our group was 10 adults and 7 kids, ages 3 to 11, and we didn't feel crowded at all. Something we didn't expect, was the fun that the little ones had, playing in the sand and finding shells in the area next to the stilts,(under the house), which was mostly in the shade. And the outdoor shower (hot and cold water) was so helpful! We also rented 3 "Cool Cabanas", which were delivered and picked up by Barefoot Beach Equipment Rentals.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love Navarre Beach, and on paper and in the photos, Big Daddy's seemed to fit the needs of our family as far as floor plan and bedroom allotments go. The house was clean, and had plenty of kitchen items and all of the things that we needed to enjoy our stay. However, they have replaced the floor on the main level with gray plank flooring, which is poorly installed and has gaps visible between the planks. When we opened kitchen drawers in the island there was a mildewy smell. The bathrooms, though clean and useful, are older and small. I just feel like, for the price they were asking, that the house was not comparable in quality to others we've stayed in. If you're going to ask that much money, pay a professional who will do a good job installing your floors and don't have a loose outlet at the base of the kitchen island.
