About this property

Waterfront Big Family: Secluded Sanctuary 4 Boat Lovers & Kid Heaven

Location: Josephine, Alabama located on Arnica Bay, the Intercoastal Waterway. The property is across from Bear Point, down from Pirate's Cove and adjacent to Ono Island.

Accommodations: 9 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, two large kitchens, and two large great rooms with one sofa sleeper. The property now sleeps 20 comfortably.

If you are looking for a large and exquisite vacation home on the Alabama Gulf Coast, you have come to the right place. Perdido Beach, Orange Beach, and Gulf Shores are just minutes away. The Jones Family Beach House, in Josephine, Alabama, is an ideal place - not only a boater's paradise, but a boater's wife and children's paradise as well. Nearby Marinas include, Orange Beach Marina, Sportsman's Marina, and Barber Marina. Touching Arnica Bay, and Perdido Bay to the south, it's just a few minutes to Perdido Pass Bridge and the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico. The Intercoastal Waterway makes dining by boat a breeze. Motor or sail to the docks of Lulu's, Tacky Jack's, or Cobalt's just to name a few. Have you ever been to the movies or a concert by boat? Now you can! The Wharf is just a short boat ride away. Want exciting night life? Cruise to the Flora Bama for live music, or grab a World famous cheeseburger at neighboring Pirate's Cove. Bring your boat and you will find paradise just off your private mooring and private dock. A Public boat launch is less than a mile away.

Watch the dolphins swim as your kids romp and play. See the mullet jump, catch speckled trout, and trap blue crabs. Cook in our outdoor area on an electric grill. Maybe you want to smoke ribs, or roast a full pig on the open bar-b-que pit. Perhaps a low-country shrimp boil is what you have in mind with the two large picnic tables. Crawfish boils are fun too!

You will also enjoy your stay on the sprawling 7 acres making it ideal for nature walks, and long bike rides. Bare feet and smiling faces guaranteed. Sunsets and memories you will never forget.

So bring your babies and your in-laws. There's plenty of space and privacy for everyone. You'll know when you've arrived because the sandy road to paradise is paved with palmettos and azaleas. Pull under the house and step foot into the mud room area. Leave all of your troubles in here. Just a few steps to the second floor, and you will enter into a spacious, large open cooking, dining, and gathering area. The balcony and the view are perfect for coffee and cocktails. There are three bedrooms and 1.5 baths in this area. The washer and dryer are accessible from this floor. Take just a few more steps to the third floor, and you will enter into 'space heaven'. Six more bedrooms, four additional bathrooms, and a second kitchen and great room lend itself for multi-family gatherings. This is an even better view of sailboats and sport fishing boats.

Activity, activity, activity! This is the 'Snapper Capital' of the World. Deep sea and sailboat charters are readily available. Inshore day fishing charters are available for plenty of specks and reds. Motor boat rentals and dolphin cruises are literally at your back door.

Secluded, Secluded, secluded! Leave the chaos, traffic, and crowds behind. This place is a sanctuary!

Great quite location but so much close by to do. Boat accessable.
Large well appointed family home. Two kitchens on two floors. Accessibility to the Bay and easy access to walking, trails and shopping. Tastefully decorated. Owners are very easy to get ahold of and communicate information promptly.

Great House, Great Hosts
We couldn’t have been happier with our time spent here. The house was perfect for our large family (we’ve struggled finding rental houses in the past that don’t feel cramped). Ashley and Pete were very welcoming, responsive to our questions/concerns, and were willing to bend over backwards to make our trip comfortable. The children ended up having more fun in the small beach area next to the pier than the larger Gulf Shore beaches nearby.

Amazing
The house was beautiful and plenty big enough to accommodate our party of 18. We have rented several homes from VRBO and this was by far the best. We had 4 generations of family, making wonderful memories. The house was stocked better than any we have stayed in. The host were very friendly and kind, checking on Us throughout the week. The children had a blast swimming in the bay, and watching the dolphins from the balcony. Thank you so much Ashley and Pete Jones for allowing our family to stay in your beautiful home. You made us feel like family. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Beautiful & spacious!
We rented for a family vacation, 16 of us. The house was spotless and spacious. Excellent communication with the owners! They were attentive & quick to respond. The backyard & pier was beautiful & we spent a lot of time hanging out by the water. We can’t wait to go back!
