About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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).

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.

Immaculate condition, very welcoming and friendly hosts who communicate really quickly. It was lovely being on the water, and during winter, it was very peaceful. The houseboat is in walking distance of Pensacola Downtown which was nice. Great place to stay.

Absolutely the best!

This was such a unique and fabulous experience. The boat was very clean with all of the comforts of home. So much better than a regular hotel experience. It's within walking distances of almost everything and the hostess was wonderful! Will definitely recommend and hope to come back again!
