About this property

Entire place

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.

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!

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.

Navarre Vacation

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

Fabulous stay

My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay at the Sleepy Bay rental, and we can’t say enough good things about it. The unit was very comfortable and spacious, and the property was incredible. We enjoyed the sunsets from the dock and although we didn’t get to use the kayaks, there were two available for use as well as a canoe. The following are some of the things that we appreciated: fully stocked kitchen with a dishwasher, games and puzzles, cooler, beach chairs, beach towels, shampoo and toiletry items, laundry soap, etc. We felt very safe during this stay since the property is fully fenced and gated. We can highly recommend this rental and hope to return again.

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 and comfortable

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.

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.

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.

Just What I Needed

Relaxing and beautiful! Home is clean, well stocked with many extras that are above and beyond…Cooler, beach chairs, inflatables, kayaks etc! Outdoors area is peaceful and well cared for. My dog loved the freedom to roam. Coffee in the swing on the bay dock every morning was a perfect start to the day. Frank answers any questions in a timely manner and his wife as well. I hope to return again.

Great for snowbirds!

As retirees, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer spot to land for the winter. We enjoyed many sunsets on the bay. Even our adventuresome cat enjoyed exploring the expansive property. Stacey and Frank were outstanding hosts! We enjoyed their welcoming hospitality and fun and friendly nature. Our unit was quiet, private, well maintained, and easy access. The location was convenient for visiting Milton and the Blackwater Forest with bikes or day trips. There are 2 excellent restaurants within a short bike ride. So much to see and do. The Navarre beach and Gulf Islands Seashore, Saturday markets, the Holley Hill pottery event, Sea turtle rescue, wildlife rescue, all were things we enjoyed while we were there.
