Watch Dolphins on your own Private Beach! Renovated! Boat Launch Extremely Close

Completely Renovated and Remodeled ! Are you tired of staying in a cookie cutter condo and fighting for a space on the beach? If so, look no further than Papa Roy's Paradise! Papa Roy calls his paradise the Peace & Contentment Lodge or the P&C Lodge. His mantra is 'Do nothing and rest afterwards.' Located on Spring Branch just off of Perdido Bay, Papa Roy's Paradise is a little slice of heaven. You can drink coffee in the glassed porch and watch for dolphins or relax with a cocktail on the beach and view the sunset. Inside, there are two bedrooms, a large living area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a spacious glassed/screened porch. For your outdoor pleasure, there are kayaks, paddle boards and even a slide on the dock. On the white sandy beach, there is a gazebo with a sitting area and a grill. Bring your boat and fishing gear! With a little luck, you can catch fish and crabs. In ten minutes, by boat or car, you can be at Pirate's Cove enjoying one of their cheeseburgers in paradise and drinking a world famous bushwhacker. Also, there are many other restaurants located in the area that specialize in local seafood. The sugar sand beaches of Gulf Shores and Pensacola are a short drive away. Fresh fruit and vegetable stands abound in the area! The butchers at the Elberta Grocery will cut your filet, t-bone or porterhouse to order and wrap it in wax paper. They also make and sell the finest sausage in Baldwin County.
Please inquire if you are interested in winter monthly rental discount!

We had a wonderful stay at Papa Roy’s! From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect relaxing getaway. We loved fishing right off the dock, kayaking around the water, catching hermit crabs, and even watching dolphins swim by. There is so much to do — you truly don’t even have to leave the property to have an amazing time.Our 6-year-old had an absolute blast and was entertained the entire trip. The sunsets each evening were breathtaking, and ending the night with s’mores around the fire pit was the perfect cozy touch.Such a special place for making family memories. Communication with the host was alsoexcellent and timely!

Beautiful property!

We absolutely loved our stay! We were able to see dolphins & catch fish from the shore or dock every day. And the pavilion outside is a great way for the kids to get out of the sun or snuggle up and watch a little TV.

We loved it! A great place to spend the week with the kids!

The property was very kid friendly! We loved that the kids had a private beach to play at while also having the water right there to swim in when they got hot! It was the perfect get away for a week of relaxation and fun for all of us and still close enough to go shopping at the outlet stores and have some fun!!
