About this property

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).

Check out Baydream (#1832982), Decked Out (#2511119) and Seaclusion (#2814013), also!
During your stay at this houseboat, you're just a quick walk from Destination Archaeology Resource Center. Laundry facilities are available.
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities and a water dispenser
  • Just a 2-minute drive from Pensacola Bay Center and 12 minutes from Pensacola Naval Air Station

This houseboat is perfect. We loved sitting on the porch looking out over the bay. My son fished off the porch and loved it! Our favorite stay with VRBO. Very comfortable, perfect for 2 or a small family.

Great location

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!

The unit was very clean and comfortable. It is safe, within walking distance to downtown restaurants and the ballpark, and very private. There is a popular restaurant which is not part of the marina, but right there. The fishing is great right off the front porch! The manager is very accommodating and responsive to any request. This is a very special spot. You won’t regret staying in Doc Holiday.

Floating Oasis

Beautiful houseboat that is vacation ready and so relaxing. Host is AMAZING!! Communication was easy, check in/out was a breeze and boat slips were plentiful. Location has restaurants so you having to cook is optional. Afternoons on deck were peaceful and enjoyed watching fish at night under the lights. We will be back!!

Relaxing get-away.

I wanted to stay somewhere different and this was it. We stayed busy so we didn’t spend too much time here. If I could do it differently, I would have made time to fish. Perfect for watching the sunrise while drinking coffee. The house was perfectly decorated and clean. Glad we stayed here.
