Loved my stay, unique experience! I’ve never been on a houseboat before and it was really lovely! It was so relaxing sitting on the porch and watching the beautiful vessels come in and out. The house boat itself was clean, bright, and well appointed. Wish I could’ve stayed more than 2 nights!

This place was very nice and didn't disappoint. Everything was clean and smelled good inside. None of the furniture or anything had bad smells. I am a big "smell" person and this one passes my "smell test" 100%. Everything was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our staycation. We will definitely be back and rent again.

Everything was as advertised. Check-in was easy. The houseboat was clean. comfortable and well-appointed. The downtown area, with its many eateries, bars and shops, was a short walk. The drive to Pensacola Beach across the long bridge was relatively quick with a beautiful view of the bay. All guests couldn't be more pleased with the experience at Seville Harbor Marina.

Perfect property for our boating vacation. Convenient to local attractions by water or land. Boat slip and trailer storage was definitely a plus. House boat was very clean, well maintained and furnished with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The staff was very quick to address issues and/or questions. We plan to return in the future.

Stay on a gorgeous houseboat!

The sparkling clean boat is in a small picturesque harbor, walking distance to everything. The furnishings are new, the bathroom is full size ( with a flush toilet as opposed to a marine pump style), the kitchen is fully stocked and it comes with beach towels and toys. Easy parking.

Great accommodations, with or without a boat!

This was our third stay. Marina staff is always very helpful. Launch ramp is about a mile away if you bring your boat. We fished for three days and the best fishing was off the front porch of the houseboat!Downtown Pensacola is a short walk with many restaurant options. This is a great place to enjoy the water and local life.Highly recommended!

Everything work except the air mounted on the wall above the television, but there was a unit in the window worked fine. I would stay here again, the only problem which was small was people keeping the carts at their locations on the docks, but we managed and it was still a good stay,
