Celebrities have been taking big swings with their Airbnb listings lately, but one out-of-the-box stay on the platform is a home run.

Since 2020, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos have listed their entire Double-A baseball stadium on the home rental site. And unlike the one-time offers from Hollywood A-listers, anyone can book the unique beach town stay.

Blue Wahoos Stadium costs $5,143 per night, and includes two queen beds and four bunk beds. For the price of admission, the listing boasts, guests will have unfettered access to the ballpark.

"Want to hit with your friends in our batting cage? Be our guest!," the listing reads. "Want to play catch on the field at 11:30 PM? Be our guest! Want to take batting practice while having a couple cold ones with the boys? Be our guest!"

Guests are even allowed into the team's clubhouse, which features TVs, couches, ping pong tables and padded chairs normally reserved for ballplayers.

The bedroom at Blue Wahoos Stadium sleeps a maximum of 10 guests.

The 5,000-seat stadium, which was built in 2012, is one of the more popular stadiums in the Minor Leagues. It has been named Southern League ballpark of the Year on three occasions.

For an additional fee, guests can purchase food and beverage packages. They might need it, as the kitchen only includes a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and toaster.

Still, that hasn't stopped the Blue Wahoos from scoring a perfect 5-star rating as hosts from the 36 reviews on Airbnb.

But keep in mind that if you book a trip to Pensacola, you might not be the only people in the stadium.

"The Blue Wahoos reserve the right to host additional events during the duration of your stay," the listing reads.
