Map & Owner's Profile
New and Updated, Huge 4 BR/4.5 BA Right on Pensacola Beach!!
Year Purchased: 1990
Why the Owner Chose White Sands
We chose Pensacola because it is simply one of the nicest beaches in the world! I have seen the black sand beaches of the pacific and the pink sand beaches of Bermuda. I have been to the Philippines, Australia, Rio and everywhere in between and none of them compares to the sugar white sands of the Gulf Coast of the family friendly atmosphere and incredible sea food of Pensacola Beach!
Owner's Map of White Sands
This property was purchased in 1990 while I was serving in the military and based in Pensacola. I had always wanted to return to Pensacola after leaving there at the age of 9. Being able to actually live on Pensacola Beach was a dream come true. The property was destroyed in 1993 by Hurricanes Opal and Erin. It was rebuilt and improved by 1995. When my wife Stephanie came along in 2001 she began adding the womans touch that the property always needed. It was destroyed again in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan. This time we rebuilt from the ground up and took the time to put every feature imaginable for both renters and our own family. We feel great about what we have accomplished and based on our guest comments, so do many of our guests! We look forward to sharing our home away from home with all of you and hearing your comments.

Having spent 2 vacations @ Spike's, I can attest to the fact that this is probably the very best 4 b.room rental on Pensacola Beach! The unit is beautifully maintained, the amenities numerous & the location & view spectacular! The owners are accessible & so pleasant to wok with. We live in Pensacola & know the beach well, so I do believe we recognize a good thing when we see it! Spike's rocks!

I can't say enough good things about this property. The house was just as described, if not better. The pictures don't do it justice. We had 10 people in our group and had plenty of room for everyone. We had 5 kids with us, aged 5-14 and they all had a spot. Something I didn't truly appreciate until we were there was the need for lots of bathrooms. At the end of the day, when everyone is sandy, hot and tired, it was so nice to have 4 full bathrooms to run everyone through. But the best part about Spike's Beach Place is the location - right on the beach. Just cross the wooden bridge over the dunes and there you are. We would recommend this place to friends in a heartbeat and would definitely stay here again!

A Great Vacation Townhome

Review Submitted: 06/27/11
This year, we spent our annual Pensacola Beach vacation at Spike’s Beach Place. This was our first time staying at Scott and Steph’s Beach Place, and we were very impressed. Having a private bath for each bathroom, plus a half-bath for use throughout the day is the highest priority of our vacation group, and the condo met that requirement perfectly. One of our other priorities is cleanliness, so we were happy to find the townhome spotless. It was an unexpected pleasure to find that the kitchen is well equipped and includes various-sized, quality cookware. The large dining room table easily accommodated our group for nightly dinners. Having an elevator to transport heavy items or to assist an older person is a definite plus. Scott and Steph are by far the best owners I’ve worked with. They are prompt with assistance and eager to help in any way. Staying at Spike’s Beach Place certainly assured that we enjoyed a wonderful week at the beach.

June 2011 Family Vacation at the Beach!!!!

Your listing described everything perfectly. With the exception of "can't we stay longer?" the entire experience was what we wanted and more. The home fit our family of 7 adults and 4 children (under 12). At no time were we uncomfortable. It is immaculately clean and creatively nautically decorated. From the spacious garage (plus extra parking spaces across the lot) to welcoming kitchen and living areas to three comfortable bedrooms complete with private baths to our own laundry facility to the positively spectacular fourth bedroom with amazing bathroom with soaking tub to (WAIT FOR IT) the most breathtaking view of the ocean, it's a wonderful place for vacationing. We believed you arranged for a private beach just for our family. Personally, I sat in the water as soon as we arrived and did that every day --- soaking in the sun, water, sand, ocean's music and fragrance. Forget thousands of dollars on therapy; come to Pensacola Beach to this magnificent home. I want to return. Our entire family enjoyed a lovely week. BTW -- many eateries were within walking distance.

What a great Condo!! Thank you for making sure that everything we could possibly need was there when we arrived. We have visited FLorida many time over the years, and this is by far the best rental we have stayed at. The Grandkids loved the beach and so did the big kids!! We hope to come back in the near future and stay again in this Condo!! Beautiful home and beach area.

If you're looking for a fantastic place for your family or friends to vacation together, then this is the home for you! It is SOOOOOO convenient to have a private bathroom for each bedroom and then to have an extra one off the kitchen as well! This is hands down THE BEST ONE to rent if you have a larger group to accomodate. There is plenty of seating space in the home and on the deck. We were amazed at the amount of bedrooms you have and then to have even EXTRA sleeping areas in the loft or on the sofa bed in the living room. The home is gorgeous and we all loved your nautical theme. Your kitchen is well-stocked and when we chose to have group dinners at home, it sure made it easy to do this. The beach is beautiful and UNCROWDED and the home's location on the beach allows you to enjoy the beach not only when you go swimming, but also when you're sitting around visiting on the home's main deck. So many stories of our younger days to recall....so many fond memories to share with one another.....all were possible because your home is conducive to a multiple family gathering. Thanks so much for sharing your beach home with us!! It was our 2-year-old grandson's first visit to the beach and what a fun time we had seeing it through his eyes as well. We even bought some pretty seashells downtown and then buried them in various places on the beach so that he could find his own treasures. What a fun time he had! (We may have had more fun watching his expressions!!) If you're wondering whether to rent this place, do it!!!! You'll love it! WE SURE DID!!!! Thanks again!!! I didn't even mention the VERY CONVENIENT ELEVATOR and the LARGE GARAGE and the extra parking areas outside, and the SMALLER DECKS OFF THE VARIOUS BEDROOMS, and the PICNIC TABLE downstairs on the beach where we prepared the corn-on-the-cob for dinner and all the many fine restaurants......

We have rented many condos over the years and this one is outstanding in every way. Now that we are older we appreciate the special touches that makes life more enjoyable such as the elevator to all floors, the bench in the shower, a beautiful well supplied kitchen, and bedrooms with private baths for visitors. We felt cared about and cared for by Spike and Stephanie. We ARE returning.

I recently had a need for an immediate short term get away and I came across this posting and I can not say enough about my experience with the owners and the quality of the rental property. We were only able to stay a few days but I can easily say I was royally spoiled. The pictures shown on VRBO don't come close in reflecting the actual beauty this condo presents when you walk in the door. If you're looking for a fantastic get-a-way in the Pensacola Beach area - don't and I repeat don't pass this property up - you will not find any better. Thank you S&S for sharing your vacation home with me.
