Emerald Waves Hideaway - Free Heated Pool & Gaming

  • Your Private Gulf Coast Retreat - Less than 10 minutes from America's #1 Beach



    Welcome to EMERALD WAVES HIDEAWAY, a newly renovated 3-bedroom home designed for families seeking the perfect Florida beach vacation. Enjoy the best of both worlds: Pensacola Beach (named the top beach in the USA by Condé Nast Traveler) just minutes away, plus your own oasis with a private heated pool and game room for ultimate flexibility and comfort.



    Prime Location:

    Nestled in peaceful Gulf Breeze, you're ideally positioned between multiple award-winning beaches and local attractions. Pensacola Beach's world-renowned sugar-white sands are less than 10 minutes away, Navarre Beach 20 minutes, with restaurants, shopping, golf, and family entertainment all nearby.

    The Property:

    Our spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to 9 guests. You'll find luxury DreamCloud king beds in the master bedrooms with premium linens throughout, plus a third bedroom with bunk beds perfect for kids.

    Amenities That Make a Difference:

    Private heated pool in screened lanai—no bugs, no crowds, no extra fees. Swim morning or evening in complete privacy.

    New game room with entertainment for all ages, perfect for downtime between beach adventures.

    Fully equipped kitchen with premium appliances including air fryer, blender, and everything you need to prepare family meals.

    Coffee and tea bar equipped with Keurig and drip coffee maker to start your mornings off right.

    Beach essentials provided—chairs, umbrella, and toys so you can head straight to the sand.

    Dedicated workspace with high-speed wifi for anyone mixing work with vacation.



    Why Families Choose Us:

    You're not paying luxury beachfront prices, yet you're close enough to experience America's best beach daily. Return home to your quiet neighborhood, take a dip in your private pool, fire up the grill, and let the kids enjoy the game room while you unwind on the lanai. It's the space, privacy, and value that hotel rooms and beachfront condos simply can't match.

Outstanding location, very convenient to Downtown Pensacola, Navarre Beach, and short drives to Elgin and NSA Pensacola. Plethora of restaurants nearby, would recommend the Pointe, Golf Club Restuarant/Pub for some great steaks. Rooms were well apportioned and decorated, comfortable beds and linens. Onsite laundry made the long stay enjoyable. Easy check in and out, excellent rapport with host, Wayne, Everything was above board, making it a stellar location for those having business or just a well deserved vacation in Gulf Breeze.

Jem of a house!!

Beautiful house, great location and the host communicated well and quickly! The house is roomy with plenty of beds for a large family and extra seats for dining also. Location is ideal - great little, quiet neighborhood, but close to restaurants and stores.

Great location and fun property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emerald Waves! The heated pool and game room were a big hit with our kids. We loved having space for the in-laws to join us too. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The location was great to visit both downtown Pensacola and Pensacola Beach. The neighborhood was quiet and well decorated at Christmas! We will definitely stay here again when we visit the area.

July 2024 Family Vacation

We loved our stay Emerald Waves Hideaway. The house was very clean. The neighborhood was nice, quiet, and conveniently located with restaurants and grocery stores within a close distance. The property owner always responded quickly to any questions/emails. We especially enjoyed lazy evenings by the pool. We highly recommend staying here and would stay again if we are ever in the area.

Close to everything in a safe quiet neighborhood

I truly enjoyed my stayed at the home. Communication was smooth. I loved that the TV remotes all worked with each TV, it made it easy when a tv remote died during our trip. No complaints. The pool and game room was the highlight of our stay. Everything was clean and provided amenities like ice cooler, chairs, umbrellas and toys for the beach!

This place is great! Wayne communicated everything thoroughly and clearly. He noticed the WiFi was down when we arrived and called to fix it before we even had our car unloaded! He is on top of things! The house had an abundance of towels (bath and beach), the showers had shampoo/conditioner provided, the screened in pool was fantastic and had lots of floats and toys. The kitchen had everything we needed plus extra trash bags, dish soap, dishwasher pods and a fully stocked coffee bar area! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The lawn and pool guys were quick and non intrusive. If we ever return to that area we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Spring break vacation

We had a wonderful time at the property as the house/pool/game room were perfect for our family. When we arrived the pool heater was not working and the pool water was cold, but as soon as we told Wayne, he had someone over the next day to address the issue promptly and were able to enjoy both the pool and surrounding aria of Gulf Breeze/Pensacola. For anyone traveling with kids/teens we highly recommend this property, thanks!

Our stay

The house was located in a safe/family friendly neighborhood which was awesome! They have everything you need! They even had chairs/toys for the beach! The only problem was that the pool water was too cold to swim in. The weather was nice and I thought the water would have been warmer. It just bummed my kids out that they couldn't swim.

The host, Wayne, was responsive to questions. This is the cleanest property we have ever stayed at. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. The pool is a huge plus. It would be nice to pay an option to heat it about 10 degrees more. Even on a sunny day it was too cool to get in. We will definitely use again.

Family vacation

We stayed at the Emerald Waves Home 08/5/23 thru 08/12/23. Prior to our trip we contacted our host with numerous questions and he was always pleasant on the phone, answered our questions and even sent us pictures of the high chair and pack n play. The house definitely met all our needs; it is very clean, spacious, comfortable and well stocked with bath towels, toiletries and the kitchen had lots of dishes, utensils, etc. The pool was everybodies favorite place and we spent mornings, afternoons and evenings playing in the water. It was a very hot week while we there so the pool and ocean were our go to places. If we are ever in the Pensacola area we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a very fun vacation and being our home away from home!

Perfect work-cation

This is a nicely appointed home in a quiet neighborhood about 15 minutes from Pensacola Beach. The pool was perfect and being able to link my computer to the tv on the lanai made it possible for me to watch my work conference while being with my daughter as she swam. My 16yo son loved having his own room with smart tv where he could escape from his parents. 😁 Wayne responded promptly to communication and offered suggestions for nearby beaches. This is an FYI only…bring your own baggies, aluminum foil, etc. The kitchen was nicely stocked with seasonings and we managed just fine with the pans that are provided. 💯 recommend and hope to stay again in the future!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Emerald Waves Hideaway in Gulf Breeze. This was our first visit to Emerald Waves Hideaway and we loved it. The house was more than we could have asked for…..roomy, clean, well stocked and easy to find. The beaches and shopping was near by as well. And communication with our host was outstanding (Thanks Wayne). We will definitely consider Emerald Waves Hideaway for our next year stay in Gulf Breeze.
