Awesome 50's house!

Date of Stay: 04/19/12 Review Submitted: 04/25/12

We were there for my son's wedding. We had four generations under one roof. Priceless! The pictures do not do this house justice. It is filled with large rooms, nice furnishings and fully stocked for your every need. Everyone in our family loved the house! The only complaint is that we couldn't spend more time at the house. I would have really enjoyed just staying there and relaxing but we had a lot of running to do and activities that kept us from doing that. Next time we stay there (and there will be a next time, for sure) I intend to enjoy it more!

The perfect place

We flew into Pensacola for a 50th anniversary celebration, and five of us rented this house for a week. The pictures posted on VRBO are accurate, but they don't show just how spacious the home is. The home is less than three miles from the airport, and finding our way was no problem. It was a chilly night, and we opened the door to find the heater turned on and a light awaiting us. Everything was spotless, with the kind of homey touches that you'd never find in a hotel or motel, and we really appreciated it. The floors were gorgeous, all highly polished wood, the rooms were big and the lot was huge. The kitchen had everything we needed, and there was even a stock pot on the service porch that I used to make a big pot of chicken noodle soup. I was able to feed all of the relatives the day after the party, and they really appreciated it. We were quite close to the downtown area, and we enjoyed a lunch at the Fish House on our first day there. The Naval Aviation Museum was a fascinating place, one that I would enjoy visiting again; we attended the tree lighting at the lighthouse, and I would recommend it to visitors who come in early December. If we have occasion to return to Pensacola, I would definitely rent this home again.

This house was perfect for our stay! Its was a lot larger than it looks in the picture. The only complaint I have is the main living room needed more decorations and the wash machine ruined some of my cloths. We had to disassemble it to get my shirt out without breaking the machine or ruining my shirt. The house was VERY clean and had every little thing we needed! Our deposit came back quickly! During our vacation and stay here, my boyfriend proposed to me! So this house will always have a special place in my heart! We are planning on having our wedding in pensacola! <3

Great rental. You could not ask for anything better.

You will love this rental. Christie and Tina thought of everything. This was our second stay at That 50's House and it was as good as the first. We were able to entertain our son and his wife's family during their graduation from PCC. The house is very clean with all the amenities provided. Christie and Tina were fabulous to work with. Lots of timely and thorough communication. We loved both our trips staying at this rental and look forward to visiting again in the future. For all you PCC parents, this is a much better option for your family than staying at a hotel in town. Convenient to the college, shopping, restaurants, and a short drive to the beach. Loved it loved it loved it. Thanks Christie and Tina for providing a nice home and so glad we found it.

5 Stars and then some

Date of Stay: 12/16/10 Review Submitted: 12/29/10

My husband and I stayed the weekend before Christmas and could not have been more pleased with this clean, safe and conveniently located home. It was the perfect place for our two young grandsons to spend some time with us. It truly is a home away from home. The pictures do not do it justice. Just having a fenced in yard for the kids and dogs was worth re-booking for next year. The 50' House gives VRBO a good name!

A+++ - Great rental, better than expected.

Our family of six spent four nights in this Pensacola rental. It was great and perfect for our family Thanksgiving spent in the Pensacola area visiting our son and daughter-in-law who attend Pensacola Christian College. It was very clean and up to date, as described. Christina and Tina thought of everything a visitor would need while renting the house with a fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms, linens, and even the laundry room ready with all you need to keep up on the family laundry. The house was much more spacious than we expected from the pictures. It included Direct TV in the family room and two bedrooms, and wi-fi. It is a quick 20 minutes to the beach and very close to all the shopping (the women in the family easily made several trips back and forth to the shopping areas on black Friday). We highly recommend this rental. We have stayed in several rentals in the Pensacola area and this would be our first choice for location, convenience, and a spacious home. And of course, the price is amazing. Thank you Christine and Tina. We are looking forward to our next visit in May.

Why stay anywhere else in Pensacola?

Everything was perfect! We will be back. Convenient location, beautiful hardwood floors, tastefully decorated, well appointed kitchen with all you need to cook a feast, and all this in a 3 bedroom two bath home for the price of a hotel room. The separate living room and den and the dining room with a big table gave us plenty of room to spread out. I cant say enough, go check it out, you will be glad you did

A Great FInd!

The pictures don't do this home justice! It is VERY spacious and well maintained. I have all kinds of allergies(dust, mold, strong perfumes or cleaning odors) and there was nothing in the house that set them off. It was very clean and no overpowering odors from anything used to clean it. The owners put some really nice personal touches like local maps, reading material of various sorts and board games, as well as the standard ones. Much better than most of the time shares we've been to. There is a nice sized back yard with a tall fence. They allow pets, and our dog enjoyed having the backyard to run around in. The neighborhood is quiet, and minutes from beaches, downtown and the University of West Florida. We loved the place! We hope to be able to come back again at some future time.

Loved it

Guest: Go Blue (Kalamazoo)
Date of Stay: 06/19/10 Review Submitted: 07/02/10

We loved the house, it was roomy, clean, comfortable, a nicely equipped kitchen and laundry, on the same floor, had a great fenced back yard for our dog. A clean garage that we used to keep the van out of the heat. The kids loved having their own room, we did also. It was a good neighborhood, quiet and close to everything that we wanted to do. There were books and games there that were fun to play with the family. We can not say anything else except it was awesome and we couldn't ask for anything more. Hopefully this comment does not make the schedule fill up so we can't book it again. We will definitely make plans there again to visit our daughter that is attending college there.

We spent a week in that 50's house and enjoyed it so much. We found it to be clean, and comfortable. It was very nicely furnished. The large yard had a clothesline for our wet swimsuits and beach towels, and was a perfect place for our dogs to play frisbee. The covered patio was furnished comfortably and offered a nice place to grill out. A new Weber was provided for our use. The home was cozy, yet large enough for us to host a dinner for our extended family. Everyone had a place to sit. We highly recommend this property to others, and will look forward to staying again in the future.

This house was perfect for our group. We wanted a place where everyone could have their own space and not feel cramped up in a tiny hotel room. The house provided everything we needed for a great price. I was extremely impressed with how clean and comfortable the rooms were. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Pensacola.

Great Memorial Weekend At A Great House !

Guest: Breezyno (New Orleans)
Date of Stay: 05/28/10 Review Submitted: 06/01/10

Myself and 8 friends spent our Memorial Weekend in Pensacola, Florida at That 50's House. It was a blast. The house was so comfortable and roomy for all of us. Nice kitchen to prepare meals in and great backyard with a covered porch that was wonderful in the evenings. Loved the Tiki bar in the den. Beds were comfy and there was really good water pressure in both bathrooms. Very close to stores and dining options and just a short drive to the beach. That 50's House is located in a nice neighborhood and everyone felt comfortable leaving their vehicles there. The owners were sooo easy to work with during the booking process. Everyone said it was their best beach weekend ever. We all look forward to staying in That 50's House again, very soon!

Home away from home.

Guest: RRW (Branson, MO)
Date of Stay: 05/13/10 Review Submitted: 05/21/10

My family and I enjoyed our stay here. It literally felt like home. Great place for the family. Peaceful neighborhood. Close enough to all the attractions you would like to see and far enough away from them to not be disturbed by noisy crowds and wild parties. Awesome. We loved it. It felt like we lived there for years.

FANTASTIC DEAL AND HELPFUL OWNERS

Guest: Norm and Alice (Jackson, MO)
Date of Stay: 03/18/10 Review Submitted: 05/12/10

We were the family that followed the previous comment regarding no return deposit. We received a call from the owner on the way down after a long hard trip and long delay at the airport, that the home may not be ready for us and we may have to stay elsewhere as the home was filled with smoke from the previous tenant. They said they were trying feverishly to clear the smell out and clean and had opened windows and tried to fumigate and we would see when we got there how it was. We got in late at night and were greeted by the owners to see if the home was OK with us. There was a lingering smoke smell and the smell of the cherry disinfectant used, but we were able to stay with the owners being more than helpful. Our adult children came to stay with us to celebrate their grandmothers 90th birthday. It was a perfect place for the family to gather with plenty of room and a very nice home that was well kept and had comfortable beds and well furnished with anything we needed.

House great! But they kept my deposit!

Guest: Elena L. (Aptos, California)
Date of Stay: 03/15/10 Review Submitted: 05/04/10

BEWARE! OWNERS WILL KEEP YOUR DEPOSIT MONEY FOR NOTHING!!! I had a nice stay at this home, when my mother in law died and I went back for her funeral. BUT! The owners kept my deposit saying I had caused "smoke damage" in the home. I rent from VRBO often and I have never not received a deposit back. I left this home in pristine condition. I had one fire in the fire place! It felt contrived, like they were looking for an excuse to keep my deposit money. I asked for receipts on what they spent the money, after much haggling, they sent me receipts for Renuzit and Febreeze totalling $14.61!! They also said I broke a bed (I didn't) and that I had more people than agreed on, also not true. Think again before going here unless you want to spend extra money. The house was nice though! Really left a bad feeling for me about a sad time.

Owner response:We appreciate the nice comments left by this tenant about our home. We also believe that it is a great house, and we work to ensure that all of our guests have a positive experience. It is regretful that she used green wood (twigs and branches from the yard) in the fireplace which filled the house with smoke and that she broke the master bed (photos available upon request). It would have been much preferable to us to return the security deposit than to deal with the aftermath of the smoke.

Our vacation comes to an end today and we just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed ourselves and felt very comfortable and at home during this past month. We loved the house and all the convenience that came with it. I don't even want to leave. Thanks a bunch and we will definitely keep the 50's house in mind the next time around.
