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!

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!!

Perfect beach getaway!

Beautiful beach house in a great location! Very clean and exactly as described. The private beach and dock were the best parts! My daughter and i swam and my son and husband fished. The water was warm and calm and they caught fish after fish. There were kayaks, life jackets, floats and more. We all enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful

We loved the property! We saw all kinds of wildlife: conch shell walking on bottom of water, unidentified huge fish sitting at bottom of water, heron, blue jays taking a bath, and best of all a small gray dolphin 3’ from shore. It was also a full moon so we enjoyed the moon and stars from the dock. We walked daily along the road and it was peaceful and friendly neighbors!

Beautiful Family Get Away

We stayed for 5 days, and though we had crappy, cold, and rainy weather we still had a great time. We fished and kayaked when we could. We went to Foley and the Gulf Shores for food and fun. The 24hr live shrimp kiosks are super cool. We would highly reccommend.

Beautiful place, relaxing pace!

As advertised, it was a great place to get away and relax- beautiful and peaceful, beyond the noises of the city and into the sounds of nature. Loved watching the dolphins play just yards from the private beach and dock; and the house itself was warm and inviting with all the comforts of home. Roy was the perfect host, meeting us the morning after we arrived, and seeing us off the morning we left. Highly recommend!

Fun getaway

Beautiful area, we enjoyed the fishing and the area by the pier, unfortunately we did not get to see any dolphins, but had fun fishing and relaxing. Papa Roy greeted us when we checked in and was extremely friendly and helpful. House was very nice and loved the front porch. Will definitely be back soon. Very friendly neighbors also.
