From the reviews
We had our wedding here during late November. It was nothing short of amazing! We had 30 adults share the house, with 45 total for the ceremony. The backyard has a beautiful view for photos for any event and plenty of space for activities.
Manor on the Bay place is perfect for a stay in Forth Walton . The location was great. It’s literally a 5-10 minute to the public beach’s, 15 min to Destin, 45 min to Pensacola Beach’s but it’s also very central 8 min to Walmart, 7 min to Publix. Comfy bedroom, and have more beds, and amazing views!
I recently had an incredible stay at Manor on the Bay. The highlight for me was definitely the big pool, which was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The cleanliness of the place was also top-notch, which made my stay even more enjoyable.
I absolutely loved my stay at this resort! The private beach was the highlight – a serene paradise right at our doorstep. Impeccable service, luxurious amenities, and the exclusivity of our own beach made it a truly five-star experience. Highly recommend for a perfect blend of relaxation and indulgence!
Getting married at Manor On The Bay
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
