Great fishing and easy beach access at Johnson Beach. We had a great time on the deck and fishing from the dock. The ice machine was a nice bonus.

Great property, wonderful location

We scheduled a guys trip to Pensacola to see the air show. This property is well-situated close to NAS Pensacola and is a short drive to Publix and local restaurants. The land across the water from the house is a preserve, and provides an amazing backdrop to time spent on the deck and dock.

Great inside, even better outside

House was clean and very nice inside. Quiet and off the beaten path but close to lots of shopping for necessities and restaurants. The outside deck was amazing. Enjoyed grilling fresh shrimp and fish from the local fish market on the outside kitchen while watching the beautiful sunset over the water. Wish we had time to play a little more with the kayaks and paddle boat available. The heron enjoyed watching us fish off the pier and we liked watching the dolphins swim by.

30th anniversary

I gave this 10/10 in all categories because this house was just that great. The owner communicated well with us before, after and during our stay. The house was lovely. And it was stocked with everything we needed. They had great suggestions of places to eat and we tried a lot of them and they were awesome. We wil be back with our kids and grands

Perfect Easter

Easter vacation with my children and grandchildren was so nice and peaceful and comfortable. Easter morning complete with a wild Bunny in the yard! King Master bed was very comfortable, outdoor area was big and well used by everyone, lots of new outdoor seating for more than we had stay. Kayaking, fishing, catching bait, crabbing, fly overs from the base on practice days, and going to Johnson’s beach and Naval Base kept everyone busy. 10/10 . And an Ice Machine !!!

Serene and peaceful

We really enjoyed our stay at Reel Paradise. Everything was as described. Clean and comfortable with lots of amenities. Close to restaurants but no crowds and so serene and peaceful on the bay.

Just Amazing!

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect in every way. We especially loved watching the dolphins swim in the morning with a cup of coffee from the outdoor kitchen. It was very convenient to the beaches, shopping, dining and all the local favorites. We will definitely be coming back.

Dolphins Visited Daily!

We loved our stay! We had a family get together from Virginia & Alabama. It was wonderful to enjoy the outside with the whole family, cooking, eating, playing, fishing, and watching the dolphins visit daily at dawn and dusk! Thank you.

Great Property!!

This place was amazing. More than what we expected it had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed watching the dolphins and fishing. The deck was the best part of the property that’s mainly where we were the entire time. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Private getaway

We’ve stayed in Pensacola during spring break before and you can’t get a private, quiet moment of peace as it’s all so busy. This rental was amazing because it was literally 1 mile from stores and 5 min from the main events but was tucked back in the bay in a quiet tree lined alcove. We had everything we needed, enjoyed the hot tub, kayaks and peace!

Amazing place!

This place is absolutely beautiful! The outdoor views and deck are phenomenal! Even though it was stormy and windy during our stay, we would love to return next February when the weather is a bit better. We saw dolphins playing and the most amazing sunset! We enjoyed visiting on the deck with family. It was also very nice and quiet and the owners were fantastic to communicate with. This is also a very safe area. We loved it!

Pure Perfection

What a beautiful serene scene to wake up to every morning! The location is quiet & very relaxing but also close to anything you need. The Publix down the road became our best friend. Hub Stacey’s down the road has awesome breakfast as well. We are already trying to plan a trip back!!! The host was easy to communicate with & the house could not be any more easily equipped for relaxation!!

Water water everywhere

Lovely waterfront home. Despite cloudy and mid60’s weather we enjoyed the hot tub, dined Al fresco. House had everything we needed. We loved the amazing restaurants, fabulous Pensacola Lighthouse, NAS Museum and further afield white sand beaches of Santa Rosa Island, Fort Pickens, Live Naval Oaks preserve and closer to home Johnson Beach. We all enjoyed the novelty of being so close to AL a first for these NY’ers.

Calm & Peaceful Getaway

We loved our stay in this cozy waterfront home. The sunsets each night on the water were beautiful off the dock. Hot tub was wonderful. Beds were very cozy. Cooking on the "blackstone" grill was super convenient & delicious. Not familiar with this style of lake house & was surprised to discover the main floor had separate access from the upper floor with only stairwells outside front & back to the deck but was never an issue at all & our teen daughter loved having her own private space. Adam was super awesome with communication even during our stay. Everything was quiet & peaceful yet close by to great restaurants & stores. Big Mikes Steakhouse in Orange Beach, AL was wonderful. Also loved visiting the amazing National Naval Aviation Museum.

This Place Was Amazing!

Reel Paradise was one of the most awesome vacation rentals we have ever stayed in! Everything was just as the owner specified in the advertisement. The house was clean and well kept, and had every household item you could ever ask for. There are three bedrooms and the bedroom on the lower level is really a small apartment with living area and bathroom attached. The best part of the rental was the outdoor living and kitchen area, which is where we spent most of our time. It has plenty of comfortable seating and high end grills and cooktops, sink, bar area and tons of deck space. It also has a hot tub and boat dock on a beautiful secluded small bay. Our family could not have asked for more! The owner was quick to answer any question we had, and even allowed us to add two more people at the last minute. We would definitely stay here again! Also, there were two of the best seafood restaurants we have ever eaten at just minutes from the house. If your are going, try The Point and Fisherman's Corner. Amazing!

Perdido Key Vacation

Great location. Enjoyed our stay, visited for 10 days in December. Very secluded, quiet peaceful location, hot tub was nice, beds comfortable, did some fishing off the pier(limited success), saw dolphins on several occasions, took in some of the sites, NAS museum, gulf shores state park, orange beach, etc. Very short drive to many restaurants nearby. Kitchen and dining area inside is on the smaller side but was fine for our group of 4. Outside area makes up for this as it is very spacious with large covered area for cooking/relaxing. Downstairs accommodation are like a small apartment with its own bedroom, bathroom, lounge area, no inside access to upstairs which was fine for us. Minor thing that needs attention is outdoor chair cushions diffently need a cleaning or replacement. Owner very responsive, gave us heads up to hot tub issue when we first arrived and had it resolved in a timely manner. We really enjoyed the secluded, peaceful location. Thank you.

Gorgeous Property

We had a fantastic stay. This property was everything we hoped it would be. Home was clean. All the amenities you would need for a week were available. Beds were comfortable. The outdoor area overlooking the bay was where we spent the majority of our time even in 90+ degree heat. My husband caught several fish off the dock. My daughter and I really enjoyed use of the kayaks. We would love to stay here again.
