About this property
Watch Dolphins on your own Private Beach! Renovated! Boat Launch Extremely Close
Completely Renovated and Remodeled ! Are you tired of staying in a cookie cutter condo and fighting for a space on the beach? If so, look no further than Papa Roy's Paradise! Papa Roy calls his paradise the Peace & Contentment Lodge or the P&C Lodge. His mantra is 'Do nothing and rest afterwards.' Located on Spring Branch just off of Perdido Bay, Papa Roy's Paradise is a little slice of heaven. You can drink coffee in the glassed porch and watch for dolphins or relax with a cocktail on the beach and view the sunset. Inside, there are two bedrooms, a large living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious glassed/screened porch. For your outdoor pleasure, there are kayaks, paddle boards and even a slide on the dock. On the white sandy beach, there is a gazebo with a sitting area and a grill. Bring your boat and fishing gear! With a little luck, you can catch fish and crabs. In ten minutes, by boat or car, you can be at Pirate's Cove enjoying one of their cheeseburgers in paradise and drinking a world famous bushwhacker. Also, there are many other restaurants located in the area that specialize in local seafood. The sugar sand beaches of Gulf Shores and Pensacola are a short drive away. Fresh fruit and vegetable stands abound in the area! The butchers at the Elberta Grocery will cut your filet, t-bone or porterhouse to order and wrap it in wax paper. They also make and sell the finest sausage in Baldwin County. Please inquire if you are interested in winter monthly rental discount!

Roy's Paradise was a dream! The house was beautiful and clean. The tiki hut by the water was where we spent most of our time. We watched dolphins, fished and relaxed there the entire week. Michele was a great host. She was kind and answered all of our questions promptly. We will definitely be coming back in the future.

My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing time. The house was cozy and inviting. We watched the dolphins and jellyfish off the dock each morning. It was exactly what we needed. A nice quiet getaway.

Thank you Kari for your kind review! We hope to host you all again!
Thank you for your time to leave a review. We are sorry the weather and the daytime pier construction next door impacted your stay. While these external elements were completely beyond our control, the pier appears to be finished. Thank you again for staying with us and we wish you the best!
We had a great stay. Wonder place and great location. We took our boat and accommodations were perfect. Owners were very easy to deal with. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you Steve for your kind review! We look forward to hosting you again!
We had a wonderful stay at Papa Roy’s! From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect relaxing getaway. We loved fishing right off the dock, kayaking around the water, catching hermit crabs, and even watching dolphins swim by. There is so much to do — you truly don’t even have to leave the property to have an amazing time.Our 6-year-old had an absolute blast and was entertained the entire trip. The sunsets each evening were breathtaking, and ending the night with s’mores around the fire pit was the perfect cozy touch.Such a special place for making family memories. Communication with the host was alsoexcellent and timely!

Thank you Travis. We are so glad you had a great stay!
We absolutely loved our stay! We were able to see dolphins & catch fish from the shore or dock every day. And the pavilion outside is a great way for the kids to get out of the sun or snuggle up and watch a little TV.

We loved it! A great place to spend the week with the kids!
The property was very kid friendly! We loved that the kids had a private beach to play at while also having the water right there to swim in when they got hot! It was the perfect get away for a week of relaxation and fun for all of us and still close enough to go shopping at the outlet stores and have some fun!!
We had an amazing time. This property is so cute and the view and dolphins are just breathtaking. Would definitely recommend.

You can travel many miles and not meet a character quite like Papa Roy. A shrimper for pleasure, not for profit, he washes his cares away each day in the beauty of his surroundings. His home, the P&C Lodge, in the Gulf Coast town of Josephine, Alabama, is a place where peace and contentment prevail. He spends his retirement enjoying life and savoring every bite. His mantra: 'Do nothing, and rest afterward.' This is Papa Roy's Gulf. Head south for a visit and discover yours.
