Holiday rentals with a kayak in Pensacola Bay

The home was amazing, we didmt do much this trip. We wanted to just fish. The dock below the house at the boat ramp was were i spent alot of my time. It was perfect to just relax and fish. The kayaks were also nice to have. The home was beautiful and we had everything we needed. The blue angels flying over was great, i got really good videos as they fly pretty low so its a great experience to see!!! The waterpark in pensacola is very budget friendly!!! I will definantly return 10/10 on this home. You are away from all the heavy crouds but so convienant to everything!!

This place is not only in a great neighborhood that feels welcome and secure, but it being 8 min from some of the most laid back and beautiful beaches in the area is so undersold. I went to the beach at sunrise and sunset daily while working remote for 3 weeks. I barely went to the more popular ones in the area because this local one is so great, and if you like scuba diving the best dive shop, dive pros, and boat charters are only 10 min away. Also has very quick and easy access to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores Alabama, which in my opinion is the best parts of the local area.

My family and I celebrated a long vacation here the week of Memorial Day and Donna’s home was a perfect stay. We enjoyed the large clean rooms, the amazing porch, the private beach, and the access to kayaks, bikes, and the fully stocked kitchen. The neighborhood was cute and close to a large pier, downtown, and small roads perfect for a morning bike ride. It was incredibly peaceful and the most amazing way to spend the week. We are really grateful for the opportunity to stay here! We hope to return soon!

Our family had a blast, the place is private, just as described and close enough to the beach and other amenities. we enjoyed the waterfront, kayaking and making s'mores in the fire pit at the back porch. Well worth it.

Very nice place, location, we felt like we were home. Enjoyed our stay and very reasonable price.

Beautiful home inside and out. Prefect for a weekend getaway with waterfront views. Every thing you could want. I would stay here again!

Family of 4 plus one small pup all enjoyed a wonderful staycation with a beautiful pool, yard, house, and location. Beautiful space with lots of lights. Very clean, easy to location, host communicated very quick, and would be willing to stay again in the future. Thank you so much for hosting my family and allowing us to call your space home for a few days!

Our family trip with 6 adults and 4 kids (ages 5, 3, 2, 1) was a great success in large part to this great Airbnb! They were always extremely responsive and helpful above and beyond what was expected! Everything was as described and the guidebook was very detailed and helpful since we weren't familiar with the area. The location was perfect between multiple beaches as well as Pensacola and Orange Beach for restaurants and activities. Definitely recommend this as a great option for you and your family!

Don’t hesitate, stay here! It was so peaceful and cozy with every amenity you could think of. A great kitchen stocked with all appliances, dishes, utensils. The shower was great. She had everything we needed for the beach.. it was wonderful not having to buy/rent an umbrella and chairs. The beaches were very close but you still get to go “home” in the evenings to the quiet of the country. Having coffee on the screened in back porch and watching the creek was very peaceful in the morning. A great value and well worth every penny!

Such a cute cozy place! My boyfriend and I loved the decor and it was so clean!! Kimberly was in top of everything she’s such a great host. Definitely book here so worth it. The beds are so comfy too you will sleep like a baby!

Enjoyed our stay at the octopus cottage. Vincent was great. Felt like our personal concierge. He even bought us a shade umbrella to use at the beach AND offered aloe for sunburns 😂. All in all great stay. Only complaint is that despite it being close to the beach as the crow flies, expect a 30 minute drive to the beach on the weekends. Closer to 15 minutes if there’s no traffic. But traffic slows down VERY easily. However none if that reflects in Vincent or the octopus cottage. Would stay again!

We’re repeat visitors and our stay this time was just as lovely as the last. The Nest offers a cozy place to hang out, bed down, and base from. We love spending time kayaking the sound and watching for wildlife. Beaches, seafood, and all the Ft.Walton/Destin vacation fun is close by, but the Nest is homey and easily fit our family of four. Very grateful for laundry to wash bathing suits in between beach days!

It was the perfect home away from home! Great location, when we go back to Pensicola we will stay again.

From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found somewhere special. Our hostess was the best we’ve ever encountered, genuinely kind, attentive, and clearly passionate about creating a beautiful experience for her guests. The cottage was absolutely enchanting with original doors, creaky floors that tell a story, and antiques that give the space so much character and history. It felt like stepping into another time, in the best possible way!! The private beach on the bay was pure magic. Quiet, peaceful, and breathtaking. The hostess had an amazing selection of beach gear available in the storage area, which made beach days even easier and more fun! Just a short walk from the cottage was a lovely park that was perfect for our kids to run and play. It made the stay even more family-friendly and convenient. We can’t wait to return. This place has our hearts!

Wendye was super responsive and proactive as our host. We planned to bring our two goldendoodles and typically use a playpen instead of a crate. Since the house rules say a crate must be used, I ran the playpen by Wendye for approval and she was very understanding and accommodated us by allowing the use of it instead of crates. Overall the stay was exactly as expected and we were very happy to have chosen this host and property! Thank you!

If you ever find yourself vacationing in Gulf Shores...... this is the place to be! They have numerous activities as well as the perfect location for enjoying everything the town has to offer!

Stayed here while evacuating from Hurricane Milton. Check-In process was super straight forward, the hosts were very understanding of our situation and allowed us to check in early after we drove 8 hours from the Tampa area! The cabin was charming and relaxing. Good internet and environment to get some work done. Plenty of activities to do on-site. Great views of the water! We were even able to use the kayaks at the stay. The fishing was great too, we were able to catch over 45 fish in the 3 days we were there. While there was plenty of stuff to do on-site, everything you need is within 5-10. The beach and great restaurants are super close. Definitely will be coming back under different circumstances!

loved our stay! such a beautiful & clean home inside and out! the hosts were wonderful and responded so quickly! they also have an elevator if you are handicapped which really came in helpful when we had my mother-in-law over! loved the amenities and everything that it offered. can't wait to stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was great. So peaceful! Joseph did well at communicating as well! We hope to go back again!

I booked Stephen’s place for my parents for their honeymoon and they loved it! They enjoyed the privacy, simplicity and peacefulness of the cabin and they loved sitting on the dock. Stephen was also super helpful and accommodating with checkout.
