Welcome to your Nautical Nirvana at the Hugh House, an unparalleled coastal gem nestled in the tranquil surroundings of the East Bay. This luxurious waterfront property invites you to immerse yourself in its timeless maritime charm blended with modern sophistication.

Greeted by the stunning panorama of the shimmering bay, you will immediately fall in love with the scenic views that surround this beautiful abode. Engulfed in a medley of rich maritime hues, this exceptional property is a homage to its nautical surroundings, with tastefully themed decor that conjures the romantic nostalgia of seafaring adventures.

Designed with your ultimate comfort in mind, your Nautical Nirvana boasts four cozy bedrooms, three pristine bathrooms, and two king master suites with private en-suites, offering ample space for relaxation. The interiors mirror the charm of the outdoors, with each room offering a symphony of crisp, fresh updates and maritime inspired elements.

Boasting a spacious split floor plan, the Hugh House promises room for everyone to spread out and find their own personal nook. Your stay is perfectly designed for both relaxation and productivity. Fast, reliable Wi-Fi supports remote work and schooling needs, so you can easily transition from work mode to vacation mode within seconds.

Experience the epitome of relaxation as you submerge into the soothing waters of the Nautical Nirvana's seasonal hot tub. Positioned to offer magnificent views of the East Bay, this private oasis is a beacon of tranquility amidst your waterfront retreat. The comforting rhythm of bubbling waters and the mesmerizing dance of the nearby waves create a serene symphony of relaxation. Whether it's to unwind after a day of exploration or simply to indulge in the tranquility of your surroundings, the hot tub offers an intimate space to rejuvenate. With the change of seasons, the hot tub experience evolves, making each soak a unique memory. From crisp autumn evenings to cool winter nights under the starlit sky, or refreshing spring mornings with the sound of the bay's waters as your soundtrack, the seasonal hot tub turns ordinary moments into unforgettable experiences.

As daylight fades, gather in the great communal spaces and make the most of our smart TVs equipped with a wide array of streaming services. Dive into the latest series or indulge in a nostalgic movie marathon - the choice is yours. The blend of classic nautical aesthetics with contemporary amenities creates an environment that feels timeless yet technologically refined.

The Hugh House also warmly welcomes your four-legged family members, making it a rare pet-friendly paradise. Imagine lounging on the dock with your loyal companion by your side or playing fetch in the soft, warm grass. Here, every family member is considered in creating a homely ambiance, and that includes our furry friends.

This waterfront haven serves as your personal gateway to the bay, offering a private dock, perfect for sailing enthusiasts. Take advantage of the nearby public boat ramp and dock your boat right at home. With fishing poles provided, you can spend serene mornings or starlit nights casting lines and making memories.

A fully-stocked, contemporary kitchen is at your disposal, ideal for preparing coastal feasts, complimented by an array of coffee, tea, and cocoa options that will satisfy every palate. Unwind in the large communal rooms, host a friendly competition with the provided board games, or enjoy a cookout with the outdoor grill, while savoring the breathtaking bay vistas.

Just a short 10-minute drive from your Nautical Nirvana, soon to be an even quicker 3-minute journey once the bridge is completed, you'll find a charming family-friendly park on the opposite side of the bay. This park serves as a refreshing escapade from the comfort of your bay-side retreat. Or, for the adventurous at heart, take a thrilling kayak ride across the bay and find yourself amidst verdant parklands in no time. The park also offers a boat ramp, allowing you to effortlessly drop your boat into the water and sail the short distance back to your private dock. The park's playground is a wonderland for children, providing the perfect outlet for their energy. This nearby park enhances the convenience of your stay, offering a slice of fun and adventure for everyone in the family.

The Hugh House is not merely a vacation home, but a lifestyle - ideal for quick getaways, local or not, business travelers, traveling nurses, family visits, snowbirds, or anyone seeking to experience bay-side living without the commitment of ownership. This year-round destination is situated in a serene residential neighborhood on the cusp of becoming the new hot spot along the Forgotten Emerald Coast.

Embark on a journey where 'Bay Dreamin' converges with 'Seaside Serenity.' Experience a realm where the music of the gentle waves, the dance of the playful sunlight on the bay, and the whisper of the coastal breeze become the soundtrack of your unforgettable stay, where you will find your Nautical Nirvana at the Hugh House.

Peaceful and beautiful
Great property! The Kayaks were a huge hit with all of us. Spacious yard and house. Loved chilling on dock and doing a little fishing too. Master bedroom was huge and all beds were comfortable. We all slept great! Our dog loved watching all the sea birds from the dock. Couches in living room were relaxing! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us ✌

Great location - away from the hustle and traffic of the beach. Close to all major grocery stores, food, and coffee shops. The pier was perfect for unwinding by doing some fishing.

Great Place to stay
The property was perfect for us. We took our puppy with us and the back yard and space behind was great. The property was fantastic. We have a couple of very minor issues (toilet handle was broken, door sitcking, etc). We contacted the management company and they were very helpful and very courteous. A couple of items we would suggest to the owner would be to add a little more silverware. It maybe because of the number of people we had, but we were consistently running out of silverware. Other then that though, the place was great and we would definitely recommend to friends and others.

Very lovely place
The place is really nice and clean. We couldn’t use much of the outside amenities but the dock at the back of the property was really cool. We liked the big tablet at the entrance with information about the surroundings, restaurants, etc. Overall a very good experience.
