Feel the sea in Gulf Breeze
Between Butcherpen Cove and English Navy Cove, the barrier isle of Pensacola and the old oak groves that pepper this salt-washed section of the Florida Panhandle, little Gulf Breeze sits nestled on its own pinprick of a headland. The setting makes Gulf Breeze vacation rentals the perfect launchpad for adventures to the white-sand beaches, undulating dunes, and wild campgrounds of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. And it's got a homey edge, with local BBQ grills and small zoo attractions up its sleeve to boot.

Gulf Breeze bathes in 300 days of sun
300 days of sun a year make Gulf Breeze a great place to come in search of sand, sea, and sunbathing conditions, no matter the season. That said, winter can often bring sporadic rain showers and chilly mercury levels. Much better is a trip between spring and late fall. You could book your Gulf Breeze vacation rentals in March, April and May to get heat in the 90s. You could come between June and August to have some of the hottest days for hitting the Pensacola beaches. Or you could come in October, when rates are a little lower and the weather's still great.
