Lovely home, great size for our group of 8. Room to be together or to have space as needed. Location is good. Enjoyed time in the pool and loved the proximity of Johnson beach. Highly recommend this rental!
10.0 / 10.0
What a wonderful welcome to the aptly named Dreamboat Paradise: it was so thoughtful of Shirley to provide us with fried chicken, beverages, and snacks so that we didn’t have to go grocery shopping immediately. And that was just the beginning! Our recent stay at this property is one that we will remember fondly. The floor plan of the home was perfect for our family - three generations - with four bedrooms and four baths. Each couple or family group could have their own space, ensuring that we had privacy as well as togetherness during this fun time. The large dining room table accommodated all of us, enabling us to share meals and games. Another table in the breakfast “nook” allowed puzzle-lovers to work on a puzzle throughout the week without having to move the pieces. The “apartment” above the garage was a great setting for video games; no one downstairs was bothered by the sounds or any monopolizing of a television in
a more public space.
While we loved the interior of the home, we spent much of our time outside enjoying the pool at all hours, an advantage of a private pool over a communal one. We also spent plenty of time at nearby Johnson National Seashore.
Sand and sun and sno-cones; pool play and puzzles; karaoke and kayaking; books and board games; Olympics and baseball (nice of the Guards to play the Orioles last week 🙂); and fishing too! A great week! We are grateful for the use of the home and Shirley’s helpfulness and hospitality. A five-star experience! KG

The house is outstanding, one of the nicest rental homes I’ve stayed in. It was so warm comfortable and inviting we had no desire to leave the house to go to the beach. We spent most of our time sitting out back enjoying the peaceful canal. The kids loved fishing and even caught some blue crab in the trap that’s located in the garage. The kids also kayaked for the first time and had a lot of fun. Having the pool, fishing and kayaks at your back door was so nice. The pool table was also enjoyed that’s located in the garage. Hands down this is my favorite vacation home, I don’t have one negative thing to say. The host Shirley is so kind and goes above and beyond on EVERYTHING. She has definitely set a standard for rental homes for me moving forward. Many thanks to Shirley for allowing me and my family to stay in your home to create another year of vacation memories.

Photos just do not do this property justice! The high ceilings, layout of the home (perfect for our two families) and ample amenities made our week away fantastic! Shirley was a top notch host and all of the thoughtful touches made this our favorite VRBO we've visited to date. Dinner upon arrival, thoughtful treats for the kids, the most delightful pool temperature and hot tub, and pool table were all amazing. We also loved being able to kayak and paddle boat out to the lagoon and were even delighted one morning to catch sight of dolphins. It is also a short drive (or walk) to Publix, local dining, and of course the beach. We had a wonderful time and hope to return in the future!

My family absolutely LOVED it! We love the area and the location was nice because we were in between the things we love to do in Gulf Shores and Navarre. Our host went ABOVE and BEYOND to make us feel welcome and supported in our stay. From the food in the fridge to help with the pool, Shirley was the hostess with the mostest. Our whole family enjoyed the pool, especially on the days when the weather was too chilly for the beach. It was so much fun to see dolphins near our place. We would absolutely love to get to come back here again. Highly recommend!

Dream Boat is an all star accommodation and Shirley is #1 hostess!

Owner was so kind, even had items in the fridge, deli chicken and potato salad, so we didn't have to run to the store after a long drive. None of the usual of stripping beds before leaving, which made for a easier departure in the early morning. Can't say enough great things about the location, the home and Owner will definitely want to go again.

Dreamboat paradise was absolutely wonderful in every way. Prior to arrival our host Shirley ask our beverage preference and left a variety of snacks and drinks. Along with an arrival meal of chicken and potato salad in the fridge. The property is absolutely stunning! Beautifully decorated yet very comfortable. Our trip was a blended family vacation to include smaller children and teens. We had such a great time hanging out at the pool, cooking, and grilling that we only left to go to the beach once. The kayaks and paddle boat on the open water was definitely a highlight of the trip. We were able to see the Blue Angels practice when we were out on the water. The property has everything you need from cooking to recreation. Plenty of towels and beach towels, floats, beach chairs, ect. All the rooms are furnished with plenty of blankets and throws to make for a cozy relaxing night after a fun day of swimming. The beds are all comfortable, especially the master king which was like sleeping on a cloud. The master bath is very relaxing and spacious. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The back covered porch is definitely a great entertaining area. Our teens took over the upstairs area. They loved that they had their own little living area to hang out and do some video gaming. My son said the TV was great for gaming. We had a great time! I could go on forever about how wonderful this experience was. A big thanks to our host Mrs Shirley for making our trip so pleasant.

My family of 5 rented this house along with my sisters and their kids (10 people total), and I can’t say enough good things about this property. It looks even nicer in person than the pictures, it was incredibly clean, and the location was perfect. It is located in a quiet area away from all of the heavy traffic of the bigger beach towns, and there is a beautiful beach that my group enjoyed within ten minutes. The house is within an hour or less of some other great beaches and towns if you want to venture out (orange beach is about 15 minutes, gulf shores 30 minutes, and Pensacola beaches and shops about an hour). The adults and kids (teenager included!) loved the pool and all of the other amenities (the pool table was a hit), and we really loved how the house allowed all of us to have our own space (the upstairs area was closed off a bit and perfect for families with younger kids), especially lots of bathrooms. Shirley, the host was amazing…super easy to communicate with during our stay and she even had snacks and beverages waiting for us and the kids upon arrival!! I would absolutely stay at this house again.

We loved our stay. The house is specious with enough space for 2 families ( 2 adults and 2 kids each).
We enjoyed the heated pool, hot tub, paddle boat, pool table in the garage. The house has absolutely everything you would need during a stay and owner Shirley is a wonderful host. The house is on a dead end street with almost no traffic. We loved that this property sits on a channel with water access to bay. Will definitely book again if in the area.

Before we even booked with Shirley and were just considering renting her property she was so prompt answering all of my questions. What a beautiful home she has! It was very clean and had lots of "extras" that you rarely find in vacation rentals. She had a pack and play and high chair for us to use for our 8month old which was so convenient to not have to pack those items. We spent most of our time swimming in the heated pool and fishing. The beach was so close and the area the home is located in has so many great restaurants. You will not regret booking this home and working with Shirley. She went above and beyond to make sure we had all that we needed and ensured we had such an awesome vacation! We will definitely be back!

We stayed here for a long weekend in Perdido Key with friends who retired in the area. The house was in a great, central location, well equipped, and gave us plenty of room to spread out and relax. Our hosts went above and beyond to make us welcome. I hope we can stay here on a future visit!

We have stayed at many places but this particular property stands out the most because of how much it felt like home and the nice touches included by the host. The pool was so warm and pleasant. The hot tub was really warm too! Pool table fun. Quiet neighborhood. Clean home with beautiful furnishings. We felt safe at all times. Some great restaurants in the area such as Fisherman’s Corner. Not a far drive from all the action and beautiful beaches. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend! Thank you Shirley for all your thoughtfulness.

10.0 / 10.0
Everything was as described with the exception of the boat dock, which doesn't exist (I am guessing there was a delay in building it). This didn't affect us in any way as it's off season (end of November) but may matter in warmer months of someone is booking based on this detail.
So many amenities I can't list them all. Shirley was a great host. She had snacks and beverages waiting for us on arrival. She was wonderful at communicating. As it was off season she allowed us to check in early as there were no guests before us. I am sure this wouldn't be possible with back to back bookings but many places wouldn't allow this regardless.
Loved the hot tub, beds were comfortable, plenty of space fpr everyone. I really liked that the home is on a dead end road so there is no traffic. That's a siper plus f0r those who may come with little ones to put them more at ease. Only a few miles (if that) from numerous beaches. We did spend some time at the beach when it was sunny out but water qas way too cold for us to swim (as was the pool). Shirley did tell me that they are having pool heat installed by the end of 2022 so tjat is a BIG plus for guests staying off season. We really only needed to buy food and a few incidentals for our stay. The home even had laundry detergent, spices for cooking, storage containers, plastic wrap, and much more. So many items that I have never had in any rental home I have stayed in which has been more than a dozen.
We will definitely stay in this home again.

Rented this property for a friends vacation. We wanted something with a pool and close to the beach. The host went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. She had fried chicken, potato salad and a bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge. The house was super nice. The host keeps a little of everything you might need. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and seasonings. Only negative is it says boat dock and there isn’t one. However, they are in the process of building one. If that’s important, you may want to ask before you book. Host is easy to contact and will resolve any issue as quickly as possible. Will definitely rent this house again.

House was beautiful and big! The kids lived in the pool. We enjoyed the outside space and definitely used it daily. There was more than enough room to accommodate 11 of us. Beaches are within a few miles as well as grocery stores and restaurants. Great location. Homeowners are VERY responsive to any questions and even left goodies for the group.

The property was fantastic for our family. We loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom. It’s beautifully decorated. I cannot say enough about the hostess. She was so kind, upon our arrival there was a meal in the fridge along with adults beverages. She also provided a cake for our graduates. I have never rented a home before where we received such individualized care. We all felt so special. We will be back!!

This property is very nice. We had a group of 13 and had plenty of room. The house is only minutes to the beach. We had a wonderful vacation and Shirley was always there to help with any questions we had, and even had suggestions for places to take the kids and places to eat. We would definitely recommend for your next vacation stay.

Dream vacation
This place is amazing.. 5 minutes from the beach, 30 min from Gulf Shores, 20 min to Floorbama, yet tucked away in a neighborhood for some privacy.
The owners are top notch. Easy check in, even had sandwiches and drinks in fridge on arrival.. The pool was perfect size to cool off in or lounge in and a hot tub!!! The home is beautifully decorated and plenty of space for family and friends. Let me not forget a spot for you to dock your boat Perdido Bay. If you want to get away where you can live in luxury like a local this is the place.
