About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Sitting on the dock of the bay!

Sleepy Bay has almost 4 acres of property which has a variety of birds and squirrels, including white squirrels, that thrive in abundance within the beautiful Magnolias, and Live Oak trees with draping Spanish Moss. This property is on East Bay at the mouth of East River. Looking out over the bay from the private deck, or canoeing/kayaking, fishing, or just swinging on one of the two wooden bench swings, are activities ready for your enjoyment. Whether you choose to encounter these activities or just cruise over to Navarre Beach, which is only four red-lights (4.7 miles) away and approximately a 10-minute drive, depending on the time of day. You will have the opportunity to experience another piece of paradise on Navarre Beach. Navarre Beach also boasts the longest pier into the Gulf of Mexico that you can enjoy by fishing or just walking on the pier. Don't forget to slow down and watch the sunset in the backyard!

This 1100 square feet "mother-in-law attached apartment" with 10-foot ceilings and two private entrances is attached like a duplex, both houses are private with separate entrances and decks. Sleepy Bay offers a comfortable open floor plan (no stairs). It is a very large one bedroom with king bed and two closets, one large 4-piece bath with jetted tub and a spa like shower, a fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances, eat in dining area, pull out sleeper sofa in the living area, and full-size washer/dryer.

The oversized main bedroom has a king-sized bed with a separate entrance (2 private entrances) from a PRIVATE, LARGE, WRAP AROUND DECK, that overlooks the bay. A gas grill is located beside the over 100-year-old Magnolia tree which the deck surrounds. The oversized bathroom features a spa like shower and oversized jetted tub. The property has a private electric gate (a remote for gate is provided for your stay) and yard is fenced except for the 300 feet of bay front, so it is perfect for your fur babies. The views are amazing and walking to the dock is encouraged.

We want you to enjoy your vacation in Navarre, and to share our little piece of Navarre's "Best Kept Secret" on East Bay.

We take pride in offering a very clean, smoke/vape free rental, for you to enjoy your vacation.

Note: We are pet friendly and want you to bring your fur babies. We charge $25 per day for pet fee. PLEASE click on Traveler's Box and click with pets if bringing your fur baby. Extended stays can inquire about reduced pet fees.

We encourage everyone to buy travel insurance, for peace of mind.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this serene bayside home! The hosts went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable with everything we could need. With the beach only a short drive away and their dock to enjoy in the evenings, it is truly the best of both worlds. Such a peaceful and relaxing vacation! We hope to visit again soon.

Wonderful Vacation/Anniversary

This was our 2nd stay here and we love it. It has a fence around the property with a coded gate so we feel conformable leaving our jet skis parked in the yard while we explore the area. The boat ramp is only a short drive away to put in the jet skis and ride in the bay. The host think of everything as the house is very well stocked with just about anything you may need. We will be back for a 3rd time!

Serenity on the Dock of the BAY!!!!

Can’t say enough positive things about this property. The house is super cute and comfortable. Host really goes above and beyond with all the little things. The bed was very comfortable. And the view is amazing. Not too far from the beach but out of the hustle and bustle. We would stay here again!!!!

Frank and Stacy went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. It was a very clean comfortable home. There was a lovely view of the water as well. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. We enjoyed the BBQ. Very comfortable bed. It was very close to the beach about a 8 minute drive . Hope to return another time. Navarre is less crowded and congested ! Thank you Frank and Stacy for a memorable vacation

A Fabulous Week At The Beach!

Peaceful relaxing place to getaway from everyday hubbub

A wonderful place! Very clean and modern in design. Very spacious inside and with the property fenced, plenty of room to enjoy the yard and our puppy enjoyed running of the leash. The owners are easily accessible and are wonderful hosts. This was our fourth time staying here and we will stay again in the future.

Nice get away on a nice piece of land.

Love the deck with an excellent view of the river. The rental was very well supplied with things like paper towels, laundry pods, dishwasher pods, soap, etc. The owners were very accommodating when we had to change our reservation to a later date which we greatly appreciated.

Beautiful property!

Very nice home and beautiful property minutes from Navarre Beach and many restaurants. We loved the water view and the dock and that we were able to bring our kayak trailer. They provided so many amenities, so you don't have to pack so much! It was very peaceful and quiet, and the overall comfort level was wonderful. We slept well and they had comfortable furniture throughout. Communication was great. We hope we can visit again.

Gorgeous property and a very cozy home. Beautifully decorated and very clean. Thoughtfully furnished with appliances in the kitchen. It was so nice that they let us bring our dog. She enjoyed having a rug to sleep on. We went fishing off the dock and watched the fish jump. Very recommended and we will return if we are in the area.
