Boat Lover’s Dream!
Stayed in unit 6B. We had a great time staying here. Lori was easy to work with and made planning our vacation even easier. The property is in a great location to anything orange beach or gulf shores you’d like to visit. You can easily walk to the public beach 5 mins away. We even walked to dinner one evening to Cotton’s restaurant. Plenty of fishing to be done just from the docks. Even ran into her husband on property during that week that took time out to check in on us to see if we needed anything. This was our 3rd SB in orange beach overall 10/10 would recommend.

Stunning Beach View! Heated Pools! Family Friendly
the condo was beautiful Diane was a great host answered every question me and my family had and very polite we will for sure rent from her agian for another vacation.

Apartment w/ Boat Slip in Holiday Harbor Marina
We decided to book an Airbnb last minute and this was such a great find! It was a great location being only a short drive away from so many cute restaurants and beaches, and was the perfect size for 2 people. Very clean and felt very homey.

3 Bed 2 Bath Oceanview Condo! Close to Everything!
Was a little leery of staying on the 19th floor, but the elevators are extremely fast. Never had to wait too long for a ride. Jay’s place is clean and comfortable. The only complaint I have is about parking- which isn’t any fault of Jay. Our stay was less than 24 hours and still had to pay the same fee we would if our stay lasted a week. Prorating for parking would be more favorable.

Ocean-views, easy beach access, beautiful remodel
Host provided great arrival/departure instructions. Quiet and relaxing. We had a great spring break! Great location, away from the main attractions, but quick drive or walk to get what you need.

Minutes From OWA And the Beach! Also Work Crews!
Would definitely stay again. Great place, kind and responsive owners.

Sea Glass #306 GulfFront 2BR/1.5BA steps to beach!
Angela was amazing to work with! Will stay with her again!!

Bluewater 306 - Gulf Front Corner Unit
We had the BEST Easter weekend at this beautiful condo. We felt right at home! Allison was super responsive and helpful with all our questions. We definitely recommend this for a perfect beach getaway.
Waterfront house rentals

Amazing views - private water front home sleeps 9
It's easy to feel right at home here! We were a group of 6 and the house was perfect for all of us to sleep comfortably but still have our space. We were staying in Pensacola to visit my niece and this location was perfect so she can come back and forth from base to spend time with us. We loved how relaxing the space was, we really didn't have to leave. We mostly stayed in and enjoyed the MANY! amenities provided. The kitchen was well stocked too so cooking was easy. And nearby is a great Thai food restaurant (Thai Curry House) if you don't feel like cooking. We spent a lot of time out on the water in the kayaks, enjoyed the amazing massage chairs, and spent the evenings watching the gorgeous sunsets in the hot tub or on the pier. Being here makes you truly appreciate nature. The neighborhood is so quiet and safe. Dennis was such a gracious host and even let us extend our stay. He was also an excellent communicator, we felt very taken care of.

Dauphin Island Home - Great for large families
Great rental on the canal. Walkable to the beach. We enjoyed using their bikes for rides into town and the kayaks for trips around the canal. Rental was well laid out and well furnished.

Bayside Bungalow - Full Bayfront House with Pier
The Bayside Bungalow has everything you need to have a wonderful getaway…a fabulous location, amazing views, nice amenities and lots of comfort! It also has the bonus of having the most kind, caring hosts. Russell and Ashton genuinely care about their guests and it shows in everything they do and how they communicate with you. They are the true definition of a 5 star host!

Kayak the Bay
Great place on secluded little section of gorgeous Mobile Bay. What more could you want?

Apr27-May3 Open, Pet Friendly, Backyard Beach
The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful on the back deck with the pelicans, seagulls, squirrels and big beautiful blue heron visiting everyday. Loved watching the boats pass. It was close to the main strip, but far enough away that our stay was quiet and relaxing. Would stay here again

Got it Reel Good River House!
I was there for bird watching, specifically migrating birds. I probably chose my dates a week early as I saw a lot of birds but only a few migrating through. The place was cozy and clean. I had my dog with me and we enjoyed visiting the Daphne Dog Park daily and our early morning and late afternoon walks at the property. I had only one issue which was quickly explained by Stephen and staff. I appreciate the quick responses. Thank you!

Home in Fairhope- Water & Wood Properties
This place is the epitome of perfection. Beautiful home with absolutely everything you need. Safe yard space, and a beautiful dock you could kayak, fish, and enjoy the bay. It was an incredible visit with family and I will definitely stay here again.

“Hidden Treasure” Waterfront Beach House!
The beach house was just what I was looking for. I wanted a small quiet place to spend my birthday with my dog. I loved the location. It was private and scenic. A short walk to the beach. The house was stocked with all of the essentials. I would definitely recommend. Thank you so much!!
Waterfront condo rentals

Cozy Waterfront Condo
such a beautiful, quiet stay!!!! We came with our 2.5 yr old and the Little Lagoon was the perfect "beach" for him. We felt that our accommodations was just the right size for our needs. It was also an easy, walkable distance from the beach front.

Sunset on the Bayou near NAS/Downtown Pensacola
Great place to stay when you are in the Pensacola area. Quiet, good views and central location, close to naval base as well as beaches, restaurants, other activities. Very clean and comfortable. This is our third stay and we may be back yet again.!

Private Beach, Pool, Beach Gear & Boat Slips
This was the best place we have ever stayed at. Perfect location. A view of the bay right outside on the porch. We spent a lot of time there watching dolphins. The private beech is just right across the street. The space was also so comfortable. Plenty of room to relax. We loved it here and are planning on coming back!

Island Lovers Dream. Snowbirds welcome!
It was our first time to Perdido Key and it was great staying in the condo; it had a full kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms for my son and myself, and was well equipped. My son was all about screencasting to the TVs which worked seamlessly. We hung out on the balcony as well. Nice place!

P2-1808 Newly Renovated 2B Island View Oasis
Great place. Booked based on the pictures of all windows open (no side blinds covering any of the view) and the "Friends" leather recliners facing the view. Exactly as pictured. Much bigger than the pictures show. Would def stay here again. Streamlined with everything you need in bathrooms and kitchen and nothing you don't need so the closets, cabinets, etc. have TONS of storage for your items if needed.

Waterfront Condo on Pensacola Beach
Condo is as described & in a peaceful & well-kept neighborhood. Host is especially helpful & responsive, & offers helpful recommendations for the area. Great location in close proximity to all activities in Pensacola. Beds were comfortable & bathrooms were meticulously clean. Kitchen was well equipped for basic needs. We particularly enjoyed the waterfront view while sitting out on our balcony each morning, watching the birds & water. Also enjoyed the Dolphin-watching boat trip with the company Jolly Dolphin. Overall a great stay and would stay here again!

Quiet Pensacola Beach Condo Sleeps 4
Perfect for our weekend needs. Just outside the busy district but a short walk to get to the heart of the beach activities. A short walk to beach access. Clean and tidy. Recommend highly.

Waterfront Condo in Gulf Shores
We had a wonderful stay! It was easy to find and get into the condo with John’s detailed instructions. It was very clean, the view was stunning, and the area was mostly quiet which we enjoyed. We have stayed in gulf shores in the past and wanted to get away from the busy/loud crowds, which is exactly what we got staying here. Absolutely loved bay bliss and we will be returning in the future!
