East Bay Vacation Rental w/ Dock!

Reviews

• A great place to stay in Gulf Breeze!

  5/5

  This was a great place to stay in Gulf Breeze. If you can climb stairs then this is a great apartment above a detached garage. You have your own entrance and even your own driveway to park in. The apartment was clean and even smelled good. :-) It was just as pictured. There is a laundry room in the corner of the garage to use if you need it and there are also kayaks to use if you want them. We didn't use the dock since we had relatives just down the street but it was a lovely area to sit and watch the sunset or to enjoy gazing over the water. We would definitely stay here again. Sandy was great and helpful for any questions we had. It's easiest to reach her by text or phone call as the messages I sent through VRBO did not get to her but maybe that's because the rental is set up through Evolve instead. Glad we found this charming place to stay!

• Beautiful Property, Amazing Sunsets!

  5/5

  The rental unit at this property is very nice. The hosts are very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The dock is the best for sunsets and fishing. As a newer rental, this place has so much potential. The only thing to keep in mind is the entire unit is upstairs and the grill that is supplied does not heat well so make sure you contact the owner prior to going to see if it has been replaced if you intend on grilling. The owners Jack and Sandy are very responsive and accommodating. We would consider staying there again for sure!

• Great place to stay in the Gulf Breeze area!

  5/5

  This quiet apartment over the garage was exactly as pictured and was clean and even smelled good. If you can climb stairs with your luggage and supplies then this would be a good place to stay. Sandy was nice and helpful with any questions we had. We didn't use the dock since we had access to another one just down the road but the dock was a very nice space and a lovely place to watch the sunset or to use the kayaks. The beds were comfortable and the living space is completely your own and the washer/dryer is available to use and is located in the corner of the garage. Please note, if you are short, you will not be able to reach the chain switches for the ceiling fans and lights. The chains are very short and I am tall and could barely reach them.

  The TV is a Roku set up but you'll need to sign into each of your own apps to use it. (A suggestion would be for the owners to set up the guest feature on the Roku account so each guest would only need to sign in one time to have access to all of their apps from their own account vs having to sign in 5 or 6 times, once for each app.) The AC works well and the kitchen has the basic equipment needed to cook and even had some storage bowls with lids which were helpful for leftovers or to use for making a salad.

  I booked through VRBO but then got a confirmation from Evolve. I had not heard of Evolve before. I don't know if they are affiliated with VRBO but the owners did not get any of my messages sent through VRBO where I booked. So if you book through VRBO, be aware that messages don't get to the owners. It is better to call or text them with the phone number provided by Evolve.

  I would recommend this rental if you are looking for a quiet and private place to stay in Gulf Breeze. I hope it is available the next time I will be in the area.

• Perfect Stay in Gulf Breeze

  5/5

  The apartment is beautifully decorated, and the layout is perfect. We felt right at home with everything we could possibly need, and it was sparkling clean.

  Waking up to the view of the bay in the super comfy bed every morning was fantastic. We enjoyed relaxing and lovely sunsets on the dock. We took the kayaks out and met some of the friendly neighbors. Fishing off the dock was lots of fun.

  Sandy and Jack are the nicest, most accommodating hosts we've ever had. We can't wait to return!
