Welcome to Driftwood Cottage, a charming 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath coastal retreat located within By the Sea, one of Navarre Beach's most sought-after gated communities. Perfect for families and groups, this spacious getaway offers direct access to the calm waters of the Santa Rosa Sound and is just a short walk from the sugar-white sands and emerald waters of the Gulf.



Inside, you'll find a bright, open-concept living space designed for gathering and relaxing, along with a well-appointed kitchen featuring a large island, ample seating, and a Nespresso coffee maker. Thoughtful coastal décor, Smart TVs in every bedroom, and beautiful water views throughout the home create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

Driftwood Cottage offers both sides of coastal life. Set on Navarre Beach—a narrow barrier island—it sits between the calm Santa Rosa Sound and the open Gulf of Mexico. Out the back gate, the Sound is shallow, glassy, and warm—perfect for kids, kayaking, and watching the sun melt into the waters. A short walk over the dune line brings you to the Gulf’s emerald water and sugar-white sand. Calm or waves, quiet or energy—you choose the beach to match your day.
