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 absolutely loved staying at Sleepy Bay! It was our daughter’s first time to the beach and she had a ball. Being able to escape the busy and head back to the Bay, after a long day at the beach, was such a treat. It truly felt like a home away from home.

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.

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!!!!
