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.

Zen! Refreshing! Spotless! Relaxing! Welcoming! Well-appointed! Dock your boat!

Seaclusion, the third Houseboat in our "fleet" of 4, is located on Pensacola Bay in Seville Harbour Marina (facing west). This two-bedroom, one-bathroom floating getaway sleeps 4 people (2 queen beds) and features a fully equipped kitchen with full-size appliances and a banquette dining table with plenty of seating. Relax on the front porch and enjoy your morning coffee, a view of the boats or a glass of wine with the sunset.

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 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 - standard door widths throughout).

Check out Baydream (#1832982), Decked Out (#2511119) and Dock Holiday (#4128908), also!
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a patio, and a refrigerator.

Serenity on the water…

What a wonderful stay! We enjoyed every min we spent in the home. The front porch was a great place to unwind, the views of the water and harbor were peaceful and set the atmosphere for a tranquil night. So many great things to say about this property that anyone considering staying should look no further and enjoy something different and unique in downtown Pensacola!!!

Stunning Houseboat

Absolutely stunning and exceptional houseboat. 5-stars is not even a high enough review. Everything was as listed and better. Furnishing, super comfortable beds, and so clean. I would highly recommend staying here. Stellar communication with the property manager. Two very nice restaurants in the marina. Walk to downtown is less than 5 mins. Don’t think twice; book it! We will be back.

Perfect location and a beautiful place!

We stayed for a long weekend in November. We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch with our morning coffee and again to see the evening sunset. We had several events to attend in downtown Pensacola and were in walking to distance to many of them. We had everything we needed and the place was immaculate. Will definitely book again on our next visit.

Wonderful Houseboat

We celebrated our 38th anniversary there. We walked in to a super clean beautiful house. Beds were so comfortable! On the kitchen table was a Happy Anniversary gift bag. In the bag was a small Nothing but Bundt cake, a gift card to The Oar restaurant which was fabulous. Thanks so much!

2nd stay as grand as the first

This was our second stay at Seaclusion. It was just as we remembered from our first stay over a year ago. The house was very clean (thank you Stacy) and charming. Plenty of room for 4 people. Fully stocked with necessities AND coffee. Short walk to downtown Pensacola. Great communication from Jo Dee about our stay and what was happening in town that weekend. 100% recommend.

Scenic getaway location.

The houseboat and adjacent property is fabulous. The rental is comfortable and well appointed. I highly recommend this property. The only caveat is that we specifically searched for a wheelchair accessible property and while the pictures showed the houseboat to be open and accessible it is actually quite tight and limiting for a wheelchair user, especially the bathroom. Being seasoned travelers we usually bring accessible equipment and were happy we brought a portable ramp to allow access onto the houseboat deck. Access in and around the marina is good. All in all this is a fun vacation rental spot.

Slice of paradise in downtown

We really enjoyed our small family “staycation”! We had a small issue at check-in that was quickly resolved by the owner, and she even went above and beyond by giving us gift cards to a local restaurant to make up for it. The location couldn’t be better as it is walking distance to downtown establishments and the baseball stadium. We’ll be back!
