Family friendly "gem" of a home just min away from Navarre and Pensacola Beaches
Leave your day-to-day behind! We want you to feel at home in our Emerald Cottage! Minutes from Gulf Breeze Zoo, amazing restaurants, fresh seafood, and white, sandy beaches make this the perfect place to stay. Approx. 8 miles to Navarre beach and 15 miles to Pensacola Beach! Plenty of space to hang out indoors and outdoors. Enjoy the private backyard and covered patio at your home away from home. Busy day at the beach? Come back to cool off and stretch out in your own private space between the fun. There is plenty to do when you venture out and plenty of space to relax and enjoy when you return. The Emerald Cottage is a real gem and we hope you enjoy your stay enough to share it with family and friends and come back every time you return to the Emerald Coast. (FYI for guests: A Ring doorbell camera does monitor the front porch area of the home.)

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This place is clean, nice and included everything we needed. It was super quiet and sits in a neighborhood between Navarre and Gulf Breeze so we had quick access to all the resources and conveniences around the area.
The host’s were beyond gracious, very hospitable and kind. They responded quickly to all our communication about the place. They even went out there way to order a blender for us the next day that we desperately needed for my husband’s medication. Their place was very clean and very comfy. Love loved the place and the hosts.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home. The neighborhood is quiet and set back from the main highway, yet conveniently close to the beach and stores. The furnishings and amenities were clean and in great shape. The owner was very responsive to our inquiries while we were in the home. Everything was just as advertised.
Very clean & well supplied home! The kitchen had every little thing I needed for my stay. The dining table was big a beautiful. The backyard even was so beautiful & well maintained. I didn't bring my children for this stay, but they would have had a wonderful time with the cabinet of games & beach supplies. And especially for little kids it was relatively baby proofed with minimal delicate decor. Overall a wonderful stay!
My stay was perfect. My guest and I enjoyed ourselves. The house was very clean. It was stocked with everything we needed. There was more than enough towels. The kitchen was stocked with utensils, plates, cups, pots, etc. The backyard is very big. I would definitely recommend staying here. 10/10!

About the host
Hosted by Chris & Lindsey Howard
Our family lives in SW Ohio and we have traveled to the Gulf Breeze area for the past several years. We fell in love with the Emerald Coast and The Gulf Breeze/ Navarre area the first time we traveled down. It's been our goal to be able to share our love and the beauty of the area with others through our vacation home. Our goal is to someday live here but for now, we are happy visiting our second home and we hope you love it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
This home was perfect from the moment we saw it. From the curb appeal to the beautiful open interior, we knew this one was meant for us.
What makes this property unique
This home is tucked away in the back of an up-and-coming neighborhood. Minutes from the beach, minutes from shopping and food, near the Gulf Breeze Zoo. You will be near Destin and Pensacola but in the relaxing town of Gulf Breeze. Minutes to all the fun but away from the hustle and bustle of the big city!
