We stayed at this property over Thanksgiving. It was a beautiful place to have family gather as we visited our son at NAS Pensacola. The property is spacious and the views are stunning.

We loved the house, very comfortable and we loved the back yard. We caught a Crocker, hard head and a stingray. And we saw a Hugh maybe 40” Red fish swim by. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Family Vacation
Lone Palm on the Bayou was everything we hoped it could be - we had a great time. Our boys loved fishing off the dock and the property was located close to Pensacola for the Blue Angels as well as Perdido Key and various beaches and shopping, etc. The bonus of the free excursions was great as well.

The property was very clean, with a well-stocked kitchen for cooking meals for the family. Waterfront was perfect for fishing and watching wildlife. Great vacation spot!
This house was amazing. So peaceful and relaxing. We even saw a dolphin off the dock. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for us and our 4 kids.
We had a great time here, the street was quiet & we were able to launch our boat and keep it at the house. We caught crabs and took the boat out to the sandbar daily!
This was the perfect location for our family. Our boys loved fishing off the dock, playing ping-pong, and enjoyed their privacy in the two bedrooms on 1st floor. My husband, Mom and I loved the views from the dining room and the open spacious kitchen and family room. Quick drive to the grocery store and to the beach. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is your place!
The house was very nicely updated with the large windows and deck giving a great view of the bayou. The kitchen was up to date and bedrooms large with comfortable beds.The only negative was the spiral staircase that could be a challenge for the old or very young. The garage was a big plus as we could launch our kayaks out the back and store them inside at night.
The location was real quiet and private but still close to the beach, restaurants, and stores.
We had a blast! Fishing from dock, easy to get to Pensacola and Orange Beach area. Peaceful neighborhood with great view. House had everything we needed and the outbuilding was great for storing fishing gear. If you have anything bigger then kayaks or small skiff plan on using the public ramp about 10 minutes away. At high tide there is a rock pile thats hard to see by the dock house the first time coming in, be careful to not nick up your prop!Definitely saving this property for return visits!
This is obviously a very old property with waterfront dockage and boat house. The accommodations were all updated and very comfortable. There is a boat ramp but the total height of boat and trailer need to be less than 8 feet for you to be able to use it, as it is accessed through a garage. Overall, we were happy with the place and its location
Our family loved our time at Lone Palm. The house is beautifully decorated, furnishing is new and comfortable. Once we unpacked, it immediately felt like home. The property sits in a secluded and quiet neighborhood, close to shopping and beach. Grandkids loved fishing from the dock. Everyone is already talking about making plans for next year’s vacation, staying at the Lone Palm. Thank you Dan and Patty for the terrific communication before and during our stay.
We booked this for the access to the water and the 4 bedrooms. It was spacious enough for 2 families and a grandparent. There were 9 people total including 2 one year olds. The water access was great and we caught lots of catfish and crabs. We stayed a week and had a blast. The location was great - right in between Pensacola and gulf shores Alabama so we were able to see both beaches during our visit. Only 40 minutes to both areas. There is beach access in perdido key just 10 minutes away which was super nice for evening crab hunting. Overall the house was great for our needs.
Nice place, great location, water is nice, strange late night activity.
My family of 6 came down for fun in the sun with our boat. House is well maintained and in a great location. The ability to back the boat into the water thru the house was not possible due to angle of the trees and obstructions, but I launched right down the road. We enjoyed having the water and paddle boarded the buoy. Ping pong was also fun. The house did have some strange night time occurrences that we couldn't ignore.

Great rental, looks like photos, great fishing dock out back
This was a great house, private, on the water, and we loved the view. Two porches and a fishing dock outside. Nice comfortable couch and had everything we needed in the kitchen. There was some beach items in the garage thay came in handy. Not suitable if anyone in your family has trouble with stairs, there is no way to avoid them as theres no downstairs bathroom. The spiral staircase inside is tight and difficult for older individuals and the downstairs bedrooms could use better mattresses. Chairs on dock need replacing, one was broken. We would still book here again though, its a nice house with a great location and the kids loved fishing all day and night!!
We had a great time on our stay. There is plenty of room for everyone and it’s conveniently located to stores and restaurants. We would love to come back someday.
Beautiful and functional property with dock for keeping boat in water and great outside space. Living and dining area were perfect for a larger group of people. The kitchen was well stocked and great for cooking! Neighborhood was quiet, but conveniently located to stores and restaurants and easy access out to the beaches at Perdido Key. Would definitely stay again!
My family enjoyed this vacation tremendously. The teens were able to easily join the WiFi. Some of ladies were able to relax with wine. Hubby spent 80% of the time fishing from the deck. The rest of us enjoyed the hammock, lawn chairs, balcony, etc. we even saw dolphins in the bay. The beach was also beautiful. Everything our family wanted to enjoy from fresh seafood to McDonald’s was close to us. We would definitely look to select this property for future vacations to the area.
