Visit the House
Take a Tour
See firsthand the home away from home we provide for military and veteran families receiving care along the Emerald Coast.
What to Expect
A welcoming home built for families
Fisher House of the Emerald Coast is more than lodging — it is a comforting, private space designed so families can stay together while a loved one receives medical care.
Our home on Eglin Air Force Base was dedicated in September 2010 and welcomed its first guests the following month. At almost 11,000 square feet, the House features 12 private guest suites, a spacious kitchen designed to accommodate two families comfortably, and many shared common areas.
Typical occupancy runs 75–80%, and when the House is at capacity we place additional guests within our community through partnership hotels — because there is always room in our inn for a military family in need.
Got a referral to another facility for greater care? We go with you. Many of our families receive care in Pensacola, and our families stay in hotels near their loved ones thanks to our generous supporters who love our military like we do, and show it with their financial support.
A tour is the best way to understand how the House supports the families who serve those who serve. To arrange a visit, please reach out and our team will follow up with details.
Schedule a Tour
Tours run monthly, with open house twice a year
Would you like to see the home that comforts so many? We host tours once a month — the second Wednesday of each month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. — and open house events twice a year.
If you need help with base access, please note that and sign up early. Our house managers will help with a little heads up.
Keeping the House 5-Star
Community-funded refreshes that keep the House like new
Annually, our community group raises funds to keep the house 5-star, as it was originally donated to us in 2010. Funds have been used to purchase new furniture for the rooms receiving the most use.
In 2019, our community group raised enough funds to have the entire home exterior refreshed with a durable, and very lovely paint, and to refinish all the concrete surfaces around the perimeter. This makes them slip resistant, wheelchair and cane friendly, ADA compliant, and also very lovely.
We have refinished all the cabinets in the kitchen and the laundry room. The gift has been accepted by our generous host, the 96th TW — thanks General Cain! — with work beginning soon. Stay tuned for more on the whole-house refresh, which will include much-needed bathroom updates generously funded by Eglin Federal Credit Union.
Always 5-star love for our families.
