Family Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful time over the Thanksgiving Holidays. The house was very comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for cooking and serving a large group. The owners were very accommodating and we felt like we were guests in their beatiful home instead of renting for the week! The lay out is perfect for several families...two large suites and additional bedrooms.....We would love to stay in their home again! We enjoyed walks on the beach, the hot tub and could have dipped in the heated pool...It was great!

We have stayed at this property three out of the last four years and will continue on an annual basis! There is no better place to stay in Pensacola Beach! The owners have this home situated as a FIRST CLASS production and have thought of nearly everything to make your stay comfortable. The pool is amazing and the home interior is very nice and comfortable! The Hot Tub has been an added addition since our last trip and the ability for PETS to be included in your family vacation is an added plus! The owners live in the area and are available for any repairs or help during a visit. They are extremely helpful in all aspects and have left nothing out! Peg Leg Pete's is a favorite restaurant on all the visits. The beach is 100 yards away and the neighborhood is quiet and great for walks or bike rides! The house is situated in a way that it accommodates a large amount of people, yet is arranged so that people can have their peace and privacy. It is very child friendly with safety gates and plenty of pool/sand toys! Coming from Joplin, Missouri it was a nice, quiet place to detox after all the tornado recovery efforts. There is WiFi available, plenty of TV stations, and the like! You don't want to miss out on this one!!!!

A fabulous beach home that is perfect for a family get-together! If you have small children you will appreciate all the amenities: child-proof gates, toddler bed, Pack N' Play, booster seat, plus pool toys, rafts, floats. Bikes for the whole family were available, as well as a great beach wagon to take all your stuff to beach. Kitchen had all the needed pots/pans for a large family and the frig and cabinets were stocked w/ lots of needed little things: herbs, seasonings, dish wash detergent, ketchup/mustard, etc. Beautiful bedrooms & baths, gorgeous pool, deck, and hot tub. GREAT House + loved Pensacola...lots of wonderful restaurants!

We absolutely loved our stay in this beach house. The house had everything you could ask for and way more. We could have left half of what we brought with us at home, because it was right there for us to use. The pictures do not do the house justice! We all had a wonderful time and the beach was a short walk to everyday. The owners were very nice and helped us out on the few small fixes we needed help with. We will definitely be keeping this in mind next summer.

Our group of ladies stayed here for the second time. We found the home to be fabulous and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the large private pool and relaxed there many afternoons. The owners responded promptly to any questions we asked. Our group is already looking forward to returning here next year because we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

What a wonderful vacation we had at Totally Tan and Sandy. The information contained on the website was great and the house lived up to all our expectations. We had ten adults and three children there for a week. The house was big enough to allow us to all be together when we wanted to and big enough to find a quiet spot when needed! I especially appreciated the kid friendly environment. There were plenty of indoor and outdoor toys but most importantly were the safety features! The gates at the heads of stairways were wonderful. We have two young grandchildren, 20 months and 22 months and knowing they couldn't get away (down to the pool) or fall down the steps was worth a lot. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and serving and the grill was huge. When we didn't eat in, we enjoyed Flounders, Peg Leg Pete's and Sidelines. Thank you for sharing your house with us; we'd love to come back again! The Lanes Tennessee

We enjoyed our stay at Totally Tan & Sandy tremendously. The home provided everything and more for our family. The entire property was maintained very well, the kitchen was completely stocked with a great selection of dishes, cookware and utensils. The large sofa was a great gathering place to watch televsion, relax and play games nightly. I agree with the other reviews ~ the pictures do not do the property justice. We cannot say enough positive things about the time we enjoyed with our family and all of the amenities that made our stay beyond amazing. Definitely would love to revisit and recommend this to families wanting to gather for sun, fun and relaxation. We had dinner one evening at Flounder's and found it to be a great place with good food.
Owner response:Thank you Tracey, Linda and family! We appreciate your kind words and are very happy that you all enjoyed your vacation and our home. We would love to have you back anytime! We offer our house for the enjoyment of families like yours and families like yours make the rental business a pleasure!

Pensacola Beach Home Rental

Review Submitted: 10/05/10
My family (Parents, Son & family and Daughter & family = 9) had a great time the week of Sept. 18th. The home was perfect for us and our three grand boys (3 & under) and especially enjoyed the pool twice a day. We celebrated our grandson's 3rd birthday with trucks and construction toys moving sand at the beach all week. The beach was only a block away and each morning we loaded the large wagon with chairs, ice chest and umbrellas and enjoyed the early mornings and late afternoons at the beach. We at dinner and made two trips to Joe Patti's for some of the best seafood anywhere (and we are from New Orleans)! Everyone enjoy a wonderful family vacation!

Our time at Totally Tan and Sandy was totally amazing!!! The home was incredible. The accommodations were head and shoulders above any other house/condo we have ever visited. The pool was a real treat as were the beach bikes and all the "extras" that made the trip not only enjoyable but easy too. Many of the items we had expected to have to purchase were already there. I can't even say what my favorite feature of the house was because we were pleasantly surprised at every turn. The owners were very receptive when we contacted them about an issue with the gas grill He was out the next morning to repair it. I just can't say enough good things about the week we spend at this gorgeous beach home!!!!!

My wife and I had our 4 children and 6 grandchildren here for a week in July. The home is well appointed on the pool is outstanding. We are retired and travel all over the world and would rate our stay here among the best we have experienced. Very family friendly. Highly recommend.

The website can't capture how great this property is. It was ideal for our stay. 6 adults and 5 grandsons, ages 6 - 16. The view of the gulf was so relaxing, as was the "relaxation couch" that we named the living room couch. The pool is very nice and good size. The neighborhood is like being at home, the kids rode bikes and took walks and played at the school yard basketball court. We were there during Alex, so we had some rain and also during the oil spill. It did not deter our enjoyment of the area. We still played at the beach and in spite of the oil it was beautiful. We discovered the Bay side, went to the beach there for a picnic, and experienced fishing at the pier under the toll bridge in the Bay. Caught so many unusual fish and did some first time crab trapping. I think this turned out to be the grandson's biggest thrill of the trip. Especially when one of them caught a small shark! The Blue Angels were there when we were, but if they had been, we would have gone to see them. We have seen them before as well as the Museum and would go there next time. The property is well maintained. Tim is only a phone call away and took care of a concern we had of the A./Conditioning. We were so content to be at the property, we did not venture out alot. We did visit Crabs and Peg Leg Pete's while there and had a great experience, as well as Alvin's souvenir shop and the fish market. We very much enjoyed the huge grill and the hot tub. We would indeed recommend this property to friends and family.

We had a wonderful stay in your beautiful home. You provided for everything we needed, especially traveling with small children. It was so nice not having to bring all the baby items. The pool was amazing and much more spacious than we imagined. We had an amazing time and would love to come back again.

This was a wonderful place for a family vacation! The listing did accurately reflect the property. It is very clean and well-maintained. Our families live in different states and we all met here for the week. The kids and grandkids had a blast. The beach is beautiful--easy to get to. The cart is great to carry the beach items. The pool is an added plus. The house has plenty of room for all. It is very well-equipped. Next time we will not bring as much stuff! There are great restaurants around. Peg Leg Pete's is our favorite. The Blue Angels practice is a must! There is a Publix nearby for groceries. The owners are super-nice and very helpful in answering any questions we had. We met them in person and they are great people! We will never forget this week--it's all about making memories. I would highly recommend this house and Pensacola Beach to anyone who wants a great vacation. We will most likely return and would love to stay at Totally Tan and Sandy again!

Our family had a wonderful time at this house! Everyone had comfortable rooms to sleep in and we all loved having a private pool. All basic necessities were readily available in this beautiful home. The extras like wireless internet and a hot tub made for an even better vacation. The beach was a very short walk away and not crowded at all. We look forward to vacationing here again!

What a wonderful place to "get away from it all". The accomadations were exceptionally clean and beautiful and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. We found everyone very helpful and nice to work with. And, hopefully we will be able to return again in the near future.
