You have found Osprey Villa! The most unique and sophisticated vacation villa available on the American Riviera, and one of the most sought after properties on VRBO!
The extraordinary centerpiece in a four home, 10 acre private waterfront family estate that is surrounded by 2000 acres of wildlife, and the best recreational waterfront on the Riviera. Unbelievable. Located in the Pirates Cove area, on the North side of Wolf Bay. It's QUIET here! Easy to get to, and away from the tourists! Those who are used to vacationing with the masses in the standard wicker-furnished beach shoebox, well, get ready.....
Osprey Villa is maintained and cared for to the highest of standards, and those who know and enjoy the difference will appreciate what we are offering you. This is an extraordinary piece of real estate, and is fully equipped for exceptional people.
Interesting and unique features and amenities:
Outside:
Kayaks - a fleet of kayaks, no less; lots of bicycles; two private outside showers & pottys (one on each end of the property); a covered motorcoach port that will accomodate the largest RVs on the road (extra fee to use the port); a stone fire pit at the water's edge; 2 large picnic tables; a swim-out beach; boat dockage for up to a 50-foot yacht; covered parking for three vehicles; covered pool lanai with two tables for outdoor dining; chase lounges; and two hammocks.
Cabana:
Screened-in and ready for cooking! The cabana features an antique table w/chairs, 2 ceiling fans, a full size gas range, full size refrigerator, commercial ice maker, huge stainless steel gas grill, pots & pans, sink, and nice bar.
Inside:
Italian porcelain floors throughout; gourmet kitchen featuring a gas range and butcher block counters; a bamboo floored loft overlooking the living areas; plasma tvs everywhere, including a huge 53" HD in the main room, and a 42" in the master bedroom!; pool table; and massive custom glass mosaic tiled showers.
Most don't want to leave Osprey Estate when they get here. BUT, if it's interaction with others that you desire, you are a 10 minute boat ride to The Wharf, where you'll find all kinds of restaurants, bars, shops, Rave theater, and a world class amphitheater featuring the top entertainment available. 15 minutes away by boat is the World famous LuLu's (famous because she's Jimmy Buffet's sister). The beautiful Soldiers Creek Golf Club is only a five minute drive to the North. The infamous Pirates Cove is 4 miles away (best "dive" bar and hamburger joint on the Coast). Are you a shopper? The largest outlet mall in the South is only 10 miles back into civilization. (can't get there by boat though).
And yes, a nice, large, relatively new pontoon boat is on site and experienced boaters are welcome to use it! (you pay for the fuel you use and a damage deposit is required). The boat is great for sightseeing, suntanning, exploring, fishing...! A daily guide is available for a small extra charge if you want help with the boat.
Something you won't find at most vacation rentals....Trees! Osprey Estate has thousands of trees and plants! Palms, live oaks, magnolias, river burch, cypress, red oaks, oleanders, bananas, loblolly pines, redbuds, azaleas, limons, satsumas, peach.... goes on and on.
I know all of this "sounds" really great. But possibly the best feature Osprey Villa has to offer is the lack of noise. What you are likely to hear: Osprey, pelicans, dolphins, speckle trout, the occasional fishing boat or dolphin tour boat, the occasional cigarette boat making a high speed run in the Intercoastal, the salt water pool dribbling over the infinity edge, the breeze blowing through the palms, or maybe some Jimmy Buffet or Bob Marley tunes coming from your Cabana.
What you are NOT likely to hear: Traffic, crowds, announcements, elevator dings, horns, sirens, complaints, or annoying people (unless you bring 'em....please don't, btw)....
Osprey Villa is very easy to get to. The Villa is located approximately 35 minutes from Pensacola Airport, and one hour from the Mobile Airport. Drive times are approximately four hours from Birmingham, five hours from Atlanta, nine hours from Dallas / Houston / Nashville. We also offer an airport car service if needed for a very reasonable fee.
Grocery service is available :-) For a small fee, you can have the pantry and refrigerator stocked before you arrive. Just send us your shopping list. Daily cleaning services are available. We can also assist with catering for your parties, and helicopter tours of the beautiful American Riviera.
Keep Osprey Villa in mind for weddings and reunions. There are some fantastic ceremony locations, and the property is large enough to handle a small - medium sized event. The Osprey Chateau is located within the Estate and is also available should you require more room for guests! |
