The View! Hidden Gem! Pristine! Quiet Retreat! Charming! Go fish! Dock a boat!

Dock Holiday, the latest addition to our "fleet" of 4. is located on Pensacola Bay in Seville Harbour Marina (facing east). This one-bedroom, one-bathroom floating getaway sleeps 4 people (queen bed + queen sofa sleeper), full bath (shower only), and features a fully equipped kitchen with full-size appliances, the bar/counter and dining table provide plenty of seating. Relax on the front porch and enjoy your morning coffee, a view of the bay, or a glass of wine at the end of your day.

You are a short walk away from Bartram Park and Seville Square, which hosts many local festivals and events in the heart of the historic district. Take in many great restaurants, local bars, art galleries, museums, Blue Wahoo's baseball, Ice Flyer 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.

Of the four, Dock Holiday has the best view of the bay from the marina and with that comes the most exposure to some swaying with an east wind. For some, it will gently rock you to sleep and for others, plan accordingly.

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 - standard door widths throughout).

Great

Our stay was wonderful. We could not have asked for anything better. The unit was everything per the description. It was the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. Clean! Well equipped! Close to everything! (We attended the Wahoo games and walked to and from) safe! Wonderful!

Fun Staycation

Only problem was tv. No local or National news. Interested in renting again in November during Art Festival. Not sure of dates yet, but would like to look at a couple of 2bedrooms before booking.

Houseboat with a view

This is the best houseboat of the four that are in this marina. It’s a walk but once you’re settled it’s worth it. Thank you Ms Jo Dee for the little gifts. It made my day.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

I can’t believe we found this place at the last minute but I’m so glad we did. It’s the furthest walk in the marina but a gorgeous walk indeed and worth it for the final view you get from the front porch. The place is immaculately clean and has SO much space. Way more amenities than a typical rental- toiletries, games, smart TVs, cleaning supplies, etc. we can’t wait to come back with the boat.

Unique and wonderful experience! Check in was very easy and everything you need is available on the property! Host was wonderful and available if needed. The view off of the front deck was spectacular! Even got to see some very playful dolphins! Highly recommend if you are looking for something a little different than the ordinary!

We always seek out houseboats when traveling to Florida and this location was one of the best. Very nice accomodations in a peacful, immaculate marina with wonderful views. Just a short walk to old town Pensacola and a short drive to Pensacola Beach. Definately 5 stars!

Truly a Gem

We were lucky enough to book this property for my son and my husband for a guys weekend in honor of Veterans Day. And it did not disappoint. The house is SO cool- complete with its own dock and a true house boat atmosphere. You don’t get any close to waterfront than this. The guys enjoyed walking out the front door and fishing right there. Everything was well stocked and clean, with so much within an easy walking distance- restaurants shops and more. We will definetly be booking again our next time in the area. Hosts were very accommodating and provided all useful information needed.
