About this property

Peaceful! Inviting! Clean! Perfect! Heavenly floating getaway! Dock your boat!!

Baydream, the first Houseboat in our "fleet" of 4, is located on Pensacola Bay in Seville Harbour Marina (facing east). This floating getaway sleeps up to 6 people - bedroom (queen), loft (queen bean bag bed that is COMFY) and a sleeper sofa in the living room (queen). A fully equipped kitchen (with a dishwasher), a washer & dryer in the bedroom + a bathroom (shower only) adds to the allure of this spacious and immaculate little piece of paradise. Relax on the front porch and enjoy your morning coffee, a view of the boats or a glass of wine at the end of your day.

You are steps away from Bartram Park and Seville Square, which hosts many local festivals and events in the heart of the historic district. Walk to many great restaurants, local bars, art galleries, museums, Blue Wahoo's baseball, Ice Flyer's hockey, shopping, Veteran's Memorial Park and Palafox Street, which was named one of America’s greatest streets. The sugar white sands of Pensacola Beach and Perdido Key are just a short drive away, as is the National Naval Aviation Museum (home of the world-famous Blue Angels).

Bring your watercraft (boat, jet ski, kayak, etc.)!! Launch at a nearby ramp and dock near your Houseboat. Trailer parking is also available. Make sure to mention what you will be bringing (type, size, water/power needs, etc.) when booking.

Additional marina amenities include the "BathMat" (laundry area and restrooms) and "The Grill Deck" (a common cook-out/gathering area) and a fish cleaning station.

Please note that this Houseboat is located on the water in a marina, and you will be walking on docks that may include uneven footing. There are no railings on the front or back decks or along the docks. May not be suitable for young children, people with stability issues, or accessibility issues (i.e. wheelchair - no ramp, standard door widths throughout).

Check out Decked Out (#2511119), Seaclusion (#2813013) and Dock Holiday (#4128909), also!

Perfect Family getaway

Our family of 5 stayed for 7 days. The accommodations were nice and clean. AC worked great (June in Pensacola!). What an amazing place to stay, on the water. We took out 22' boat for a quick getaway to the beach and fish.

Great Experience

We loved our stay here! It’s such a fun, unique experience. We had some rainy days and still enjoyed being on the water rather than just having a wasted beach day. The kids enjoyed fishing from the dock, we saw large fish, crabs and even a dolphin right under our house! Close walk to downtown shopping and food and right by the bridge to drive to the beach. I’d love to stay again!

So different ... in a good way!!!

It was so fun to stay on the water, sit on the front porch, experience a rain storm! This place is very comfortable and spotless. The layout is great and they have all the amenities you'd expect! We loved being so close to the Fish House (Sunday Brunch was amazing) and downtown Pensacola. One caution: don't plan on using the pull-out couch as a bed for guests.

Unique maritimec !experience

Everything was wonderful. We brought along our 23 foot boat and tied up next to the cottage. Every detail was as described, along with a well-appointed kitchen. We only used the main bedroom but we were extremely comfortable. We've lived in Pensacola all our lives, yet this was still a unique and priceless retreat for our anniversary weekend. The Harbor Master, Drew is an extremely helpful and courteous guy. Highly recommend booking this. We'll be back!

The Perfect Find, a boathouse with a boat slip

This was the perfect find as we wanted a house and a boat slip. The house was comfortable and well appointed. The bedroom AC worked like a dream but the main living room AC struggled to keep the place cool. It was full Florida summer, so it was crazy hot outside. We kept all curtains closed and this helped. Great communication from the management company regarding storage of our trailer and in general. The Fish House located at the dock is very good and we had dinner there on 2 nights. We walked into town for the monthly Friday night art walk. We brought our own boat which we docked right next to the boathouse. Although the weather was squally we managed to go deep sea fishing on one day and then stayed in the intra coastal for the rest of our boating time. We had a wonderful time, from start to finish. We were celebrating all our July birthdays and the management company left us a cake and gift card which was a very nice touch. Thank you for a lovely stay. We enjoyed our time in Pensacola!

A Perfect Boathouse Getaway! Need I say more, our host Jo Dee was incredible. I never encountered someone so responsive to questions and guidance as we prepared for our trip. You send her a message, and she literally responds in minutes. This trip was 10 months in the making. We had a group of friends staying in 3 of the boathouses. We drove our boats through the Gulf of America from Bay St. Louis, MS to the marina in Pensacola to see the Blue Angels Airshow. The boat ride was such a great experience, and then we arrived at the boathouse. The stay just kept getting better and better. Our stay was nothing short of perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and well maintained everything was. Not to mention you dock your boat on a floating dock right in front and steps from your front door. The little touches made a big impression. Upon arrival there was a welcome basket full of goodies and snacks along with information about the marina and the area. The porch was our favorite spot, ideal for sipping coffee, enjoying the sunrise or sipping on your favorite cocktail, or a glass of wine in the evening soaking in the sunset. The restaurants on the property are also fabulous and a must. Thank you, Jo Dee, for a magical stay and we look forward to next year for the airshow.

Wow, what a place!

My mom and I rented this house as the "luxury" part of our 2 week trip, as its outside of our normal budget. It did not disappoint. The instructions to get in were very clear, and despite a complete downpour upon our arrival, the house was well prepared to help us dry ourselves out and regroup. The kitchen/bathroom/laundry are well stocked for use. The house was very clean, the instructions clear on what to do when exiting. The living room is a perfect space for relaxong, and the porch would've been better utilized had there not been severe thunderstorms during our stay. We were still able to watch some fishes in the quiet moments, enjoy a race and parade on the road from our harbor vantage point and say hello to the blue heron as we entered and exited our temporary home. We enjoyed this being the lovely end to our long trip. Would've been great to enjoy a little longer. I would highly recommend.
