About this property

Sunny and Spacious. Quiet Waterfront Home Perf 4 Big Families/Boat Lovers&Kids

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 property

We enjoyed our time at the house. We had 12 people in our group and there was a ton of space! The sand area was nice for the kids. They swam and made sand castles all while never having to leave the house. We saw stingrays and dolphins from the pier. Just a short drive to the gulf for a dolphin cruise or to catch some waves.

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.

It was our 4th annual Cousins Trip. There was 18 of us

We had a blast! The house was amazing with plenty of room for everyone. The owners were great. You could watch dolphins swimming from our deck. We rented pontoon boats and could dock them right there on the property. It was all so awesome and I highly recommend The Jones Family Beach House for your next vacation destination

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 Home and Area

This house was perfect for our family get together. It was clean and well supplied! We had four generations staying there and all of them had a great time. The hosts are amazing and were very quick to respond. We will be staying here again in the future! I can’t say enough good things about this house. Having nine bedrooms was so nice so everyone had their own space. The yard was well kept and the kids were able to run around and play games without a care in the world. This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy some family time!!

Family Vacation

We had the best stay! This house is large, roomy and accommodating. We had 10 adults and 4 children under the age of 8. No one felt crowded. The outdoor space was great! We loved having the water right in the back yard for swimming and fishing. Would definitely recommend this home for rental. The host family was so easy to communicate with and answered any and all questions we had.

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.

Excellent Family Experience

The Jones family house is absolute perfection! There was plenty of space & our favorite spot was enjoying the breeze on the deck. Kids loved riding waves on the boogie boards & seeing dolphins. Fishing & crabbing off the pier was also a big hit with our group. Definitely recommend & we'll be back!

Perfect getaway!

This property was amazing! We had a party of 17 and there was plenty of room for everyone! My nephew brought his fishing boat, so the men could fish every day while the women and kids hit the beach! He loved being able to just tie his boat up at the Jones peir! The men loved the outdoor grilling are right by the water. The communication with the property owners was phenomenal! Could not have asked for a better experience!

Loved this Home

Our family of 13 stayed here and it was wonderful. The location and the view of the bay is just perfect. My kids loved swimming in the bay, fishing (we caught lots of catfish) and crab hunting at night (lots and lots of crabs on the dock at night). We rented a boat and visited a public beach but mostly appreciated having so much space and a fully stocked home. It really felt like we were at home we were so comfortable. The appliances are not brand new (not a complaint, they worked just fine) and the home is not immaculately clean (it was sufficiently clean for our family, but could use a good deep cleaning). But overall, we really loved this home and would come back in a heartbeat if we could!

Perfect for a large family group!

We had a small family reunion of 15 people and rented the property for about 5 days. The hosts were amazing in their excellent communication before, during, and after our stay. We had lots of questions and they were very prompt and helpful in answering them and making recommendations that helped make our stay a great one. The house is perfect for a gathering like ours with a large great room on the main floor with comfortable seating, a well-equipped kitchen, and seating for 14 at tables and more at the bar. The bedrooms were all very nice. All the spaces were well-maintained and just perfect for different family events. The upstairs kitchen and living room came in very handy as we prepared large meals. The yard is very large with lots of shade and places to sit, cook, and eat by the water. We had a shrimp boil right on the waterfront! There's also plenty of parking and very clear instructions about dealing with things like garbage and recycle. I would recommend this property without any hesitation!
