LP8 Pieces of Eight Unique and Rare Beach Home with Gulf Views and Boardwalk!

3BR / 2BA / 10 Guests / Boardwalk to Beach / Pet Friendly / Gas Grill / Outdoor Shower / Golf Cart Accessible / Parking for 4 Cars / No Boats and Trailers Permitted in Neighborhood

Pieces of Eight is a charming beach house located in a quiet neighborhood with captivating views of the Gulf from the back deck, living room and two of the three bedrooms, and is just steps from the gated boardwalk leading directly to the beach. Pieces of Eight rests on stilts leaving the ground level for parking and shaded outdoor seating.
The grand ceilings and striking fireplace give this home a romantic and cozy feel with bursts of nautical and tropical décor and textures. The Livingroom is comprised of two couches and rocker recliner, made for watching a movie on the TV with cable and Wi-Fi or gazing out the back windows and door at the view of the water. The family can gather around for boardgames, cards, read a book or select from a movie provided on the shelving area next to the TV. The desk with lamp and chair is beneficial for those working from home or for distance learning assignments.
Make yourself at home in the kitchen preparing meals with crisp white appliances, open shelving, spacious counter tops, a regular coffee maker, dishes, basic pots, pans and utensils. Savor your freshly cooked meals at the glass dining table with seating for eight. The master bedroom (BR1) and bathroom are just off of the living area and can be closed off for a private, intimate retreat area with access to the back deck. Unwind in this suite with a King bed, nightstands, closet, luggage rack, chest for your beach attire, wall mounted TV and accent chair. The bathroom has a tile vanity, separate from the tub/shower. For your convenience, there is a full-size washer and dryer tucked neatly in the bathroom. The other two bedrooms are situated on the other side of the home. Rest in the guest room (BR2) consisting of a Queen bed, nightstand, accent chair, closet, chest and wall mounted TV and a glass door accessing the back deck. Kids will love sleeping in the bunk room (BR3) made up of a Twin over Full bunk bed and an additional Twin bed, nightstand, closet and wall mounted TV. The shared hall bathroom includes a double vanity and tub/shower. Take in the back deck where there is plenty outdoor furniture for everyone to enjoy the rolling dunes, the awesome ocean views, sunbathing, stargazing, sipping your morning coffee or a cold beverage.
Under the house, there is parking for four vehicles, a shaded deck with a large table and bar for entertaining, escaping the heat and enjoying the cool ocean breezes. Take advantage of the outdoor shower with hot and cold water for rinsing off after your beach excursions.
This home is just blocks from restaurants, shops and nightlife. Look no further for a better location to bring the family to play, entertain, take in the ocean breeze, or walk over to the beach.

Perfect beach house!
We were very impressed with all aspects of the property and would stay again. The descriptions and images were accurate and the house and was even better than expected. All appliances and AC were great, all the kitchen items you would need, so many towels, outdoor shower etc.

Perfect home in perfect location
This is my second stay at LP8. The tiny neighborhood is perfect, the walkway to the beach is right next to the house and the house is delightful. Clean as can be, comfy beds, TVs in every room, great deck on the back and an underneath parking and patio area. I always try to stay in this house when I go to Port A. It’s perfect!

Beautiful house and a great location
House was clean and beautiful. It is a little older but very well taken care of. Lots of little amenities, beach towels, washer / dryer, and stuff like that there are not at a lot of rentals. It is a great location, quiet and secluded yet very close to beach and other areas to do things. Highly recommend.

Nice View/Nice Staff
Overall a good experience. House was nice. There were a view rotten boards and items that weren’t the mostly toddler friendly on the deck under. But the staff and host were great and so was the location.

Very very good
This property exceeded my expectations. It wasn't formal and fussy, but felt like visiting a family member's home. Rooms were comfortable and laid out well. Kitchen was very well equiped. There were lots of beach towels. boogie boards, chairs, and even dog toys. Absolutely a joy. The boardwalk to the beach was right out the front door and the drive (if we wanted to take the more stuff) was only a block away.. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is nicely decorated and furnished. It’s far enough from the busy streets of town and just minutes from the beach. We look forward to visiting again.

We had a great time at the beach. We could walk directly out onto our own boardwalk to the beach. Close to town, shops, restaurants, etc. The master bed was very comfortable. Glad we were able to bring our dogs!

Not worth the amount of monies paid
The beach amenities below house were sub par for a vacation beach house. Grill was corroded and only two burners worked. Spicket for water house handle was broken. Outside shower was unusable. Water handle to adjust flow was broken. Inside of house: Sheets/Blankets were dirty. Floor was unswept with a lot of sand. Air conditioning registers in living area dripping water. Dryer was not drying towels. Had to set cycle two to three times. Very dissatisfied and we drove from Chicago. Called in to check out on last day and stated the above. They mentioned that why did I not call. With the numerous things that I mentioned that there was never a proper preinspection of the property not to have known all issues. Will never use again.

Boardwalk to the beach, or short 1 minute drive. Deck overlooks the sand dunes. Functional and fun, beach decor. Not fancy but not lacking anything either. Great value and great location!

Great Beach Location in Port A
Great location for playing at the beach, close to town and beautiful private home. We will be back! House has basically 2 private wings so perfect for families and 2 -3 couple. Very comfortable furniture and well stocked kitchen. Very nice deck with no access from the ground. Very private. Covered parking and nice patio under the house with outside shower and dining area. We stayed down there during the hot part of the day because the cross breezes reminded us of Hawaii. Also, you can bring your dog and they had dog blankets and water bowls for the pooch!

Pieces of eight
The location of this home was excellent and we enjoyed the small LaPlaya neighborhood. The house itself served us well. The layout was great for the three of us. The home could use a few updates, but nothing that bothered us during our stay. We enjoyed the views and close proximity to the beach. We did have trouble figuring out the tv system, when needed for a rainy day, but Alex from the rental company was very helpful in solving the problem.
