Welcome to The Commodore East, a standout beachfront retreat designed for unforgettable group getaways. This spacious 5-bedroom, 4-bath duplex sits directly on the sand and offers the perfect combination of comfort, character, and panoramic Gulf views. Just offshore, you’ll spot the historic Rachel, a schooner that ran aground in 1923 and has become a beloved local landmark often visible from the property.

Designed for Gathering & Gulf Views

The main level is the heart of the home, featuring a wall of windows that frames breathtaking views of the beach and Gulf beyond. A massive dining table anchors the space, allowing everyone to dine together while soaking in the scenery. Additional counter seating ensures there’s room for the entire group to gather comfortably.

The well-appointed kitchen is a dream for group meals, with a unique oversized prep counter that works equally well for cooking, serving, or casual buffet-style dining. You’ll also enjoy granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and durable hard-surface flooring throughout the home—perfect for beach living.

This level also includes a large pantry, a full-size washer and dryer, and a full bathroom for added convenience.

Private Retreats Across Three Levels

On the second level, the primary suite offers a true escape. Enjoy a king-size bed, private balcony access, and a spacious ensuite bath complete with a garden tub, double vanity, stall shower, and private water closet.

Also on this level are two additional king bedrooms that share a well-appointed hall bathroom, offering comfort and privacy for guests.

The third level is ideal for families or larger groups, featuring a king bedroom and an expansive bunk room. The bunk room includes two triple twin bunk beds, along with a full-over-full bunk and a twin trundle—plenty of space for kids or extra guests.

    This was my family’s second year staying here l, check in is always very easy and the house is always clean. The second floor tends to get a little warm where you start up to the third floor but fans are provided to assist in moving the air around. The only issue we had this year were people coming through our yard to get to the private beach instead of using the public access areas. Other than that our trip was fantastic and the accommodations were right on point. The management company are always very helpful and courteous.

    BEWARE BEFORE BOOKING!! This place was the complete opposite of the listing. There was black mold throughout the whole house, the baseboards/doors were filthy. The washer was nasty from build up from other guest. The bunk beds upstairs were extremely loose and unsafe… although maintenance did fix it we couldn’t use that bed the day we got there. The attic door located in the kids room where the bunk beds were was unlocked and open which was unsafe and hazardous. The shower heads sprayed water everywhere and one was literally duct tapped together which again we had to have maintenance to fix. It rained the first 3 days we were there and three windows on the main floor leaked and the front door leaked so that was highly inconvenient. The window close to the Tv wouldn’t even latch and was detached from the window sill… most of the windows were screwed shut which isn’t safe in an emergency. The window in the kids room with bunk beds would easily open and was very unsafe considering it was on the 3rd floor… although again we had to call maintenance they just put another screw in there to hold it shut. The whole place was nothing like the listing and EXTREMELY overpriced. I would never book this house ever again. The stairs are extremely steep and there’s 3 set of steps which is highly inconvenient when packing suitcases upstairs.

    Had the absolute best time with family and friends. Very clean with plenty of room for our 14 guests. Everything was close by. Beach right at your feet. Could not of asked for a better place.

    The location and the beach access were excellent. I did not think that the bedrooms were very well furnished. Only one bedroom had a chest of drawers or a dresser. I would suggest that the cleaning crew not use fabuloso or whatever the cleaning solution was. It was so strong that it was almost nauseating. The microwave had been cleaned with it and could not be used because anything you put in the microwave taste like fabuloso. But the agent was very responsive and sent us a new microwave immediately. The agents we talked to at Coastal View during the week were wonderful about everything.

    The house was a little different than what I thought it was going to be and had a weird smell which I figured was paint but it served the purpose and we had a great time and a great stay. The management company were lovely people which made the process so smooth and they were quick to email or text.
