About this property

Brick House By the Bay | Bay Walk + Local Life

There's a certain kind of Emerald Coast trip you can't get from a resort condo on the strip. This is that trip. You're tucked into a real Shalimar neighborhood - quiet streets, bay breezes, neighbors out walking - and you're five minutes on foot from the water. Not the gulf. The bay. Which means calm mornings, paddleboard-ready conditions, and none of the crowds.

Brick House By the Bay is a private guest suite on Dogwood Lane that gives you the rare combination of space, comfort, and genuinely local living. It's the kind of place people book for a week and start wishing they'd booked for a month.

Walk in through your own private entrance and you'll immediately notice this feels more like a furnished apartment than a guest room.

The primary bedroom is anchored by a king-size bed and lined with a large walk-in closet - plenty of room if you're here for a week, an extended military rotation, or a remote work stretch. The adjoining bonus room pulls double duty beautifully: use it as a second sleeping space with the comfortable daybed, set up at the dedicated desk and get serious work done, or just make it your reading room. The living area gives you real room to exhale - comfortable seating, Apple TV streaming, and HomePod speakers for whatever sets the mood.

The kitchenette is fully stocked for daily use: full-size refrigerator, two-burner cooktop, toaster oven and air fryer, full sink, and all the cookware and dishes you need. Morning coffee and reheated takeout are easy. So is an actual home-cooked meal.

In the bathroom you'll find a double vanity, a garden soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower - a setup that makes unwinding after a long beach day or a long work day feel like it was designed specifically for that purpose. There's also a half bath for added convenience.

Staying connected is effortless. The suite runs on shared 5 Gbps fiber with high-speed Wi-Fi that handles video calls, streaming, and remote work without a second thought.

An EV charger is available if you need it. During your stay, the paddleboard is yours to take out, and the hanging hammock chair in the space is exactly as good as it sounds.

That's Brick House By the Bay.

While visiting Florida please be mindful we do have tropical bugs - mosquitoes, palmetto bugs, wood roaches, no seeums, etc. While we do actively treat for pests you may encounter a few critters during your stay. If the doors are left open, you will most likely allow these creatures in the home. As much as we’d love a critter free home sometimes it’s just not possible. Let us know if you’ve encountered anything that may alarm you!

The property will be cleaned prior to your arrival. Please note that we do not provide additional cleaning or housekeeping services during your stay. Detailed checkout instructions can be found in the StellarDweller reservation portal, which was sent to you on your booking date.

For your comfort and peace of mind, our property is equipped with a Minut Smart Home Sensor. This small device monitors noise levels, temperature, humidity, and motion near the entry to help ensure a safe, comfortable stay for everyone

We wanted to give you a quick heads-up regarding our front door camera. It functions like a Ring camera and is positioned only on the exterior of the unit. It does not record any activity inside the home - it’s solely for monitoring the entrance for security purposes.

No smoking. No pets. No parties or events. Quiet hours 9:30 PM to 7:00 AM. No backyard access.
