Great House

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.

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!

Confortable Cottage by the Sea

A nice room for the kids, bunk beds and their own TV. Main room can host 14 guest. Cottage comes with all the beach toys one could want. One story easy to keep clean on sandy soil. An old school Florida style beach cottage. You will enjoy!

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!

This property was not at all as it was displayed. There were many many leaks inside the property that we notified the owner about, but was obvious the leaks had been happening for a while due to the amount t of damage already done. We spent more time cleaning up water and rewatching towels to clean up said water than doing anything else. The back yard was full of weeds and grown up to the point that we couldn’t even use it unlike the pictures. There isn’t a comfortable place to even sit in the house. Majority of the furniture is outdoor furniture. We even left early due to being so uncomfortable.
The disgusting smelling water leaking from under the sink and dishwasher.

Family beach vacation 2023

There was 11 of us ages 4 to 60. Everyone had a great time there was even room for everyone to sit down at the same time. The house was really close to the beach and had everything we needed. It was an older house and didn’t have all the steps to get into it a big plus for me. Very clean and nice. A very short drive to restaurants. Plus the beach was not crowded

Good property, closse to the beach. Check in was easy and good communication from the owner. Things that could use improvment. Cleaning of oven, microwave and fans (little details). Kitchen: Excessive pot and pans, most are in bad shape and need to be replaced (toxic).Love that the light switches were labeled. Please consider something similar for the kitchen utensils/appliances/ect. Backyard looked overgrown. The roof patio deck was amazing. Loved the outdoor shower, being able to rinse off before going inside. Thank you. Would absolutely come back!

Cozy house, great location

House was cozy and clean, well furnished. Everything worked well and there were plenty of towels and kitchen dishes. The deck at rooftop level was great, we sat up there every morning and evening and just enjoyed the breeze and the ocean sounds. Very nice patio and deck furniture. The house is older but seems to have been kept up pretty well The backyard was very overgrown with weeds and lots of sand bur stickers and was unusable for anything. If it was cleared and the stickers taken care of, it would be awesome for volleyball, hammocks, or whatever. The location was perfect for us, right across the street from the beach and there are two easy beach accesses literally just steps away from the house. This is located in a very nice neighborhood. We would stay here again for future visits due to location, price, and beach proximity.

We loved our stay

It was a great week, and we absolutely loved our stay. The home was very well cleaned, and well stocked with anything we needed. The only warning I would give is to make sure if you go out to play volleyball to make sure you wear full tennis shoes because of the coast sandbur!! They hurt!! My husband pulled up as many as he could find but we still had to check our dog’s paws every time she went out and pull the burr out. But it’s a plant and out of the owners control, just be aware they are there. Also picked up some walking to the beach so again, it has absolutely nothing to do with the home owner, just be aware and check paws and don’t go barefoot. The walk to the beach was not bad at all, the beach was never crowded, I highly recommend it!!! Happy vacation!!

House needs work

The house was just ok. The location was great! But, there were a few issues with the house. The landscaping needs a major makeover, long weeds everywhere, unable to use volleyball net in the back yard. The upstairs deck has boards missing. The chimney leaks when it rains causing big puddles of water on the living room floor. The pull out sofa bed had cheetos and looked filthy! The pics posted online must be very old, the ocean view is now almost completely blocked by other beach houses now. Photos show nice colorful beach chairs in the yard but they werent there when we were there. If you can get passed all that you will enjoy your stay. Overall we enjoyed it.
