The stay was great. The master bedroom was very warm despite the rest of the house being cool. There were a few things left behind from the previous guests and there was an unwanted critter guest, but that’s how it goes in Florida I am told. Was spacious and plenty for our family!

Very satisfied. It was a dated home with minir cosmetic issues but we knew that when booking. The living room did only have one couch as actual living room seating. There were addition patio style seats but we didn't spend a whole lot of time at the house so it wasn't a big deal for our small party.

Location is great. The host is responsive. It’s a dated house. The cleanliness unfortunately for the price and cleaning fee is pretty bad. There was a urine smell in the bedroom and bathroom in the back. The cushions on the chairs had a urine smell. Our feet were black moments after arriving. The sand is everywhere which is understandable it’s a beach house. Just unsure how it’s in beds that were supposedly just cleaned and made. The high chair that was available was so disturbingly covered in god knows what I didn’t touch it. The outside shower is sort of a hazard to get to and hard to operate especially with a baby in one arm. Plus all the old junk sitting under there is sketchy. The deck space was really nice to go up to and the beach being easy to access is a plus. It does the job if you are looking for a place to sleep at night at the beach for a few days.

We had a wonderful stay! House was super comfortable and close to the beach. Working ceiling fans in every room which is a must for us. The backyard was perfect and just what we needed for grilling dinner. Property manager was great and easy to get in touch with. Over all a great house.

awesome place!

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was perfect for all of our needs. Plenty of room and easy access to the beach (what my family loved the most) The town of Pensacola Beach was better than expected. The restaurants were great and just over the bridge was grocery stores and anything else you may need. The beach itself was awesome as well. No need to get up bright and early to find a good spot, plenty of space and no crowds. Stephany was great to work with and was quick to respond to any needs. If you are going to Pensacola Beach, rent this place!

Wonderful neighborhood very close to the beach. We trekked back and forth from the beach to the house with no problem. The back yard was a bit overgrown so we weren’t able to use much of it. The barbecue pit was also not as pictured (it’s a small charcoal pit instead of the stainless steel one pictured). The owner was quickly responsive when we lost power one day (due to an area outage) and kept us updated on the outage. Overall wonderful stay and would return here!
