The Retreat at Quayside is a four-acre site in Santa Rosa County, Florida, was fully approved for 23 detached single-family condominium lots; that approval has lapsed but could most likely be reinstated quickly. Adjoining an established neighborhood, the property carries a permanent easement providing access to the Santa Rosa Sound, and the approved plan can readily be converted to a fee-simple layout. The site is served by public water and sewer.
Location & Market. The site is in Santa Rosa County, Florida — one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States, having added about 22,000 residents since 2020 to roughly 211,000. Gulf Breeze itself (population up nearly 14% since 2020) is a sought-after coastal community between Pensacola and Navarre, with a strong small-business, tourism, and medical economy and deep military ties.
Access & Connectivity. The property sits in Florida's aerospace and defense corridor — anchored by NAS Pensacola, NAS Whiting Field, and Eglin and Hurlburt Air Force bases — with easy access to Pensacola Beach, the Gulf, and U.S. 98.
Development Potential. Previously approved for 23 detached single-family condominium lots (approvals that lapsed but could be reinstated quickly), with deeded Santa Rosa Sound access and public utilities in place, the Retreat at Quayside is a strong coastal infill opportunity in a high-growth waterfront market.
