A definite change of pace from the normal “beach trip”. The grounds are immaculate, the pool view is beautiful, and the house provides plenty of space for adults and kids. We spent our time swimming, grilling, kayaking, and throwing cast nets from the beach. A

We loved this property and house. Beautiful area and plenty of room for kids to ride bikes and run around. The pool was great and fishing off the pier was a bonus. Very happy with it all the way around. Our family of 7 were comfortable there and the host was so friendly and communicative. Anything we needed, he was right there to help. Loved feeling like we were in our own little oasis and had our privacy but close enough to the beach area to drive and do activities there. I would recommend this host and property a thousand times over!

This place was AMAZING! We stayed 5 nights celebrating our Anniversary and also Birthday. The property description was very accurate but some what unerstated in a good way. You will feel as though you are on retreat in the wilderness with lots to see and hear. Daily we viewed bottle nose dolphins swimming by pelicans diving on bait Ospreys were always around. The villa easily accommodated our large group of 10 adults. The 3 bed rooms one with bunkbeds and the loft made the place feel bigger with ample room for privacy. We were so happy to be away from the crowd due to the Blue Angels Airshow being the same weekend of our booking. The kayaks on site were super convenient. We loved everything about Osprey Villa you wont be disappointed.

Perfect getaway

I couldn’t have imagined a better week away with my family. This property is like none I’ve seen before. We enjoyed soaking it all in, swimming in the pool and exploring the property. Our kids especially enjoyed the swings, pool and seeing lizards, frogs, crabs, dolphins and 2 friendly cats. Stacey was a wonderful host!

Feels Like Your Own Private Island

Osprey Villa was a gorgeous rental house. We loved every minute of it. The host was easily accessible and answered our questions via text very timely. We loved the views, the amenities that were offered (including bikes, kayaks, pool table and infinity pool over looking the bay, private beach). It was about a 30 minute, very easy, drive to the public beach and more action and dining. We loved having our privacy. Highly, HIGHLY, recommend!

An amazing place to stay

We loved, loved our stay at Osprey Villa! It is the perfect combination of peaceful relaxation with a lot to do. The house & grounds are absolutely beautiful, and we enjoyed bikes, kayaks, pool, boat, etc. Thank you for leaving the crab trap for us- loved crabbing & fishing! We canoed & kayaked with dolphin twice- amazing. The outdoor screened in cabana became the kids’ cafe where they made meals for us. Great hangout spot. We will return and definitely recommend it to others. Thank you!

A place all to yourself

This property is tucked away from the Hussle and bustle of day to day life. The pool from the infinity pool was amazing. The house was open concept and very clean. Within a half hour to beaches bars and restaurants. Some friendly neighborhood cats might visit! The owner lives next door but you wouldn't know it. Everyone keeps to themselves. He was very responsive when needed though. All in all we would rent again.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but with all the pictures we took on this vacation, it still is just not enough to convey the absolute beauty of this property. Driving in past ponds with fountains, ducks waddling by, flowers everywhere lining brick paths and towering trees with swings. Opening the door to the house itself felt like coming home..but walking out to the back patio was magic. The pools edge blends into the water of the bay and walking down to your own private beach was perfect. We watched dolphins daily, played Marco polo for hours, caught and released blue crabs, kayaked sunsets and sunrises. There were even kittens!! Everything was beyond perfect. None of us wanted to leave! The house was stocked with anything we could have wanted along with super comfy beds, linens, towels etc. We will absolutely be going back!! This trip gave both us and our two girls (6 & 11), core memories that will last us a life time!! Cant say enough. Thank you so much for having us!

Beautiful property with the perfect mix of plenty to do yet perfect for relaxing. :)

Could not ask for a better first impression! Upon arrival, we were greeted with personal touches of fresh florals in arrangements that were obviously collected from the super lush gardens on property. (Not to mention fresh farm eggs in the fridge!) Just lovely! We had so much fun just getting to know the home and enjoying the surroundings. We played pool, board games, card games, watched Netflix, read books, went kayaking, boating and fishing on the pontoon, played basketball, sat in hammocks, grilled out AND just sat and soaked in the quiet and amazing beauty of the waterfront property. We had everything we needed and it was truly the best of both worlds...everything to do and nothing to worry about. The beds were comfy, linens nice, property was clean and well cared for. Furnishings were stunning and fashionable. All appliances and cookware were right there. The outdoor cabana was charming and allowed for chilling and grilling. The pool offered beautiful views (our cool weather wasn't conducive to swimming but our grown children did get in a few times.) This is truly a place to reconnect and unplug from pressures. What a haven. Thank you to the Ryles family for hosting us at such a stunning home. We loved every little thing about your wonderful place.

Beautiful property with everything you see in the photos. I liked the cleanliness of the place and how quiet and private the location is. The owner is great and very helpful. Easy access to the south shore beach and grocery store about 20 min away. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely go back someday.

Great place to chill out without the busy of the beach crowds

Everything was great. Pool needs attention with broken tiles and the endless pool feature being broken. All in all, it was a great vacation area. If you have watercraft, this is the perfect place

Happy you enjoyed your time at Osprey! The Infinity edge of the pool isn’t broken - it’s turned off for the time being. There’s a world wide shortage of pool sanitizing products. Our infinity edge creates extra water loss during heavy use, which in turn creates the need for more fresh water - thus much more sanitization is required. Rather than run the risk of having to shut down the pool for lack of health water, we simply switched off that pump. As for broken tiles, yes there are some on the deck. Our plan is this winter to bust up the area around the pool and enlarge it using some our our stone. Thank you again for coming to Osprey!

Relaxing Vacation Away From Crowds

We had a great week at Osprey Villa. This was our first time renting a property and our host was very responsive to our requests and questions. The home was very much as described online, no real surprises, with a peaceful, serene setting. Enough space that our teenage granddaughters could get away from us as often as they wished. We saw dolphins every day except Saturday (maybe they take weekends off). One of my favorite aspects of the trip was that I was completely unaware that we were in the vicinity of a crowded tourist destination until we drove into Gulf Shores for dinner or a visit to that beach.

We enjoyed a super relaxing week, in a very peaceful location. Beautiful view of the bay.

Our family enjoyed a much needed peaceful and relaxing week here. Beautiful view of the bay, where we saw dolphin early in the morning. We also saw several of them when we took the pontoon out for an adventure in the bay. Some of our family enjoyed using the kayaks and bikes. Our fur babies enjoyed the nice yard and swimming in the bay. It was nice to be away from the crowds and enjoy the quiet, yet you could be shopping or eating in about 20 minutes. Family had a great fishing trip the owner had suggested as well. We met the owner while there. Super nice and easy to work with.

The perfect getaway

We had the most wonderful time on Stacy’s gorgeous property, and no details were lacking. The home was spacious, decorated in a beautiful modern aesthetic, and so clean!! Both bathrooms were fit with rain showers, so each day felt like a relaxing spa day. We explored the inlet and the Gulf by pontoon a few times and enjoyed watching the dolphins jumping, while chilling in the beautiful infinity pool. The bonfire was simply amazing and made for yummy s’mores! It was a bit windy and rainy during our stay, so we couldn’t go kayaking, but we will definitely be back in the future. Having Stacy right next door meant that he was always willing to get things ready for us to have an amazing time. Extra special touches: asking us about the ages of our family members and then providing appropriately sized bicycles for each of us; offering to pre-stock the home with groceries; building our bonfire and getting the pontoon loaded and unloaded for us. The house was equipped with all the amenities a family could need-beautiful kitchen, laundry machines, sleeping arrangements for 10-12, wifi, and so much more! It’s also a perfect location for a girls’ weekend or guys’ weekend. Thank you, Stacy, for making sure we had such a relaxing and fun getaway. We highly recommend your property and will be back ourselves!!
