About this property
Private Villa + Private Beach + Boat + Infinity Pool + Kayaks
You have found Osprey Villa!
The most unique vacation villa available on the American Riviera, and one of the most sought after properties on VRBO!
Osprey Villa is part of a 3 home private family estate. This is our home and we care for it and maintain it ourselves.
See more at OspreyEstate . Com !
The overall setting is very much a nature park.
This property is about being outside and enjoying the abundance of water, plants, flowers, trees, grass, and all living things.
Osprey Villa feels like perfect seclusion, but its really only about 15 minutes from all the traffic, crowds, and noise!
Located in the Pirates Cove area, on the north side of Wolf Bay, about 3 miles due north of Orange Beach, and only 10 minutes from OWA-- where you will find the spectacular new Water Park, Amusement park, restaurants, and the Legends show (highly recommended).
NO crowds and NO traffic! Lots of open space. Lots of real Gulf Coast Treasure.
If you're tired of vacationing in a shoebox, packed into a big building with a bunch of people you don't know, you might like this.
Osprey Villa is maintained and cared for to the highest of standards, and those who know and enjoy the difference will appreciate our unique home and our quest for cleanliness.
This is an extraordinary piece of real estate, unlike anything in this area, and is fully equipped for a unique and relaxing vacation.
Osprey is not fancy or pretentious. You will feel relaxed here.

Something you won't find at most vacation rentals....Trees! Osprey Villa has thousands of trees and plants! Palms, live oaks, magnolias, river burch, cypress, red oaks, oleanders, bananas, loblolly pines, redbuds, azaleas, lemons, satsumas, peach.... goes on and on - we've catalogued over 10,000 individual plants, and nearly 100 species on our 37 acres of land.
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 (fishing hawks), pelicans, ducks, dogs and cats occasionally, geese, dolphins, speckle trout, the occasional fishing boat or dolphin tour boat, the occasional cigarette boat making a high speed run in the Intercoastal, crabs (jk), the pool dribbling over the infinity edge, the breeze blowing through the palms, or maybe some Bob Marley tunes coming from your Cabana.
What you are NOT likely to hear: Traffic, crowds, announcements, elevator dings, horns, sirens, people complaining, or annoying people (unless you bring 'em....and PLEASE don't bring annoying people to our property)....
Osprey Villa is very easy to get to. The Villa is located approximately 40 minutes from Pensacola Airport, and little over one hour from the Mobile Airport. Drive times are approximately four hours from Birmingham, five hours from Atlanta, nine hours from Dallas / Houston / Nashville.
Grocery service is available :-) For a fee, you can have the pantry and refrigerator stocked before you arrive. Just send us your shopping list. . We can also assist with catering for your parties, and helicopter tours or hot air balloon rides over the beautiful American Riviera. We can also assist with fishing trips...anything from a back bay trip, to a bottom fishing trip, to a super lux tuna or marlin trip. Just ask. We are life long residents and we can help you with just about anything.

The property was beautiful and peaceful. The property owners were very inventive and responsive to anything. They actually went out a purchased bicycles because they did not have enough for our group. What a great gesture! Also, the ice machine on site is a great feature! Highly recommend Osprey Villa as place to stay!
My family and I enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful, host is attentive. Everything we could need or want was either on the property or just a short drive away. Highly recommend!
This is the most amazing property we have stayed at ever. The most relaxing 5 days I and my family have had in a long time. My 85 year old Father-in-Law loved it, my 3 year old grandson loved it and all of us in between.
We loved our stay here! It's a little off the beaten path but totally worth it to get away from the traffic and crowds! It was very relaxing! We rented the owner's pontoon boat and were able to cruise into the Bay and have lunch at Tacky Jacks. Also our teenagers boys were able to fish for Redfisb right off the boat dock! Beautiful pool with gorgeous views of the Bay! We saw dolphins swim by in the mornings! The owner lives nearby and he was very helpful anything we needed! We loved it so much and will definitely be back!

beautiful place
Our family (7 seniors) stayed at Osprey Villa this February and loved it. Despite below-normal temps, we enjoyed the outdoor facilities as well as the lovely interior of the place. Our host was always available to answer questions. The Villa wouldn't be very kid-friendly, as everything is open to explore, but there are other properties within the Osprey Estate that are quite suitable for families with young ones. We'd certainly go back.
Amazing break from the world outside. Beautiful, clean, different and pay the extra for the pontoon tour. We loved the place and will be back.

Amazing!!!!
This place exceeded our expectations! It was really unreal! I had amazing views and accommodations. We did not feel like we were in Elberta, AL but somewhere tropical! The house was modern and very comfortable. It was fun to have an extra boat to cruise around. The outdoor kitchen was also a huge plus. The owner quickly responded to any questions and/or needs. I highly recommend this wonderful place!
