The four-bedroom house at 310 Ariola Dr stands on the sand at Pensacola Beach, its main level lifted to the second floor and wrapped in windows facing the Gulf of Mexico, and it sold furnished for $2.75 million on September 16, 2026. That closing led five reported home sales across the Pensacola, Florida metro area for the week ending September 20, 2026, a group that totaled $7.79 million.
Water runs through the rest of the week’s list as well: a rebuilt lakefront house at Star Lake in Perdido Key, a bayfront property in the Perdido Manor enclave, a Sound-view beach house at Navarre Beach and a canal-front home in the Polynesian Islands section of Gulf Breeze. Private boat lifts came with the Star Lake, Perdido Manor and Polynesian Islands properties, and the Star Lake house, built in 1961, was taken down to the studs and rebuilt in 2019.
