Fantastic Vacation!!!

Our adult children got together and decided that we should do a whole family (adult only) vacation this spring. After much research we chose the Beach Club in Pensacola Beach. It was a great experience starting from the first conversation with Lila. Lila = "southern hospitality". She is friendly, and very helpful. We only had one small problem during our stay. When I called Lila to report it, she said that she'd get someone to take care of it right away. The repairman was at our door literally 2 minutes after my call! Lila even made a followup call to make sure it was taken care of. As for the accommodations, they were beautiful, and the views were spectacular! We were "wowed" from the moment we drove up. We enjoyed walks on the beach, swimming in the pools and ocean, lounging in the hot-tubs, and driving around exploring the area. But it was so nice to come back "home" and just be together as a family. In our opinion, it is the premier place to stay on Pensacola Beach. Close to the activities but private. We would definitely vacation there again!

A little piece of Heaven..

My family and I rented this condo for our first FAMILY vacation. All i can say is this condo is simply AMAZING! I travel to florida alot, we have rented million dollar homes and this condo blew them away. I can not explain how much my family loved staying at this condo. Loved waking up in the morning watching dolphins play just yards off the beach shore, everything is within walking distance, shops, resturants, pier, watersports, etc. The codo was so clean and relaxing. We stayed in Jan. so the pool outdoors was not heated (did not stop some of the family from swimming anyway..:) but the pool indoors made up for that. We traveled down the road to Fort Pickens, we had such a wonderful time there. I would strongly reccomend going there. I want to thank Lila for making this trip possible for us. We made so many wonderful memories while on vacation there. We plan on visiting again!

Owner response:It is thrilling to read comments like these. Family vacations are so important. The memories last forever and that is what it is all about.

We stayed at The Beach Club for my daughter's graduation from Univeristy of West Florida. There were nine of us ranging from age 18 to 81. Plenty of space for everybody. The condo was immaculate. The views exquisite from every window in every room. My only regret is that I did not discover this piece of paradise before, as I frequented Pensacola several times a year while my daughter was attending school. The owners are quick to answer any questions. Check-in was a breeze. The amenities at The Beach Club were enjoyed by ALL!!! You can't help but feel special staying here. Thanks for the hospitality shown to us before and during our stay.

Owner response:Thank you for submitting your review. We are thrilled that your stay was so enjoyable. Attention to every detail is important to us because we want you to return time and again. Congratulations on your daughters graduation from UWF. We know how proud you must feel.

VACATIONER

We just returned home from a week stay at this condo under the Owner John, This was our 2nd stay at The Beach Club our 1st was in John's 3 bd room condo but we enjoyed it and talked about so much from our last trip we had another couple that wanted to come this year. The place is by far one of the best places I have ever been. It has everything you would want at your finger tips. This time on our 2nd day at the condo our coffee pot stoped working one call to John and he had another one sent to our condo. All of the staff are pleasant and always asking if they can get you anything. The Beach Club is close to everythng you could want. Resturant, shops, etc. We are already planning our trip for next year and what we want to do on our next stay.

Owner response:Thank you Vicki, it means so much to have returning guests that appreciate the quality and location of the Beach Club. I also appreciate your comments about the coffee pot, regarless of the size of the problem we address things quickly. Meeting your vacation expectations is our first priority. We hope to see you and your family back again. John

We booked this property on a very last minute whim and could not have been more pleased. What a wonderful experience!! Everything was exactly as described and the owners went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The property is beautiful and the unit was spotless. Can't wait to return again!

Owner response:Thank you so much for those kind words, we believe there is nothing more imortant than to properly clean and sanitize your vacation home. I will pass your comments along to our whole team and we are truly grateful you chose us to spend your valuable vacation time with. We sincerely hope that you and your family will come again.

Great Condo, Amazing Facilities, and a Good Time

Myself and five others stayed here for our final Spring Break ever and we absolutely loved it. John was very friendly and accomodatating, gave us fantastic advice about local restaurants and other hot spots (Ask him for advice on where to go when you stay, some of the places you would not find otherwise). Amazing price for what we received compared to anywhere else on the Island. The unit was wonderful and was exactly like the pictures posted, very clean and neat. Plenty of space to fit more pepole as every person/couple had their own bedroom in our group. The indoor pool has the largest hot-tub I have ever seen. Thank you again for housing graduate students, we really appreciate it. The only thing that could have improved our stay was some warmer weather. We would definitely come again when/if the opportunity presents itself.

Owner response:Thank you so much for those very kind words and I wish all in your group the very best as you enter your chosen fields after graduation. Your group is exactly what we love to have for spring breakers and I am glad we met your expectations. I love recommending those places that only the locals really know and I frequent when going out. We hope that you and all of your party remember us in the future when you need a extended break from the world of work. John

This unit is absolutely beautiful. We stayed here for Mardi Gras weekend and loved it. Unfortunately, we only had a few hours on Friday night to enjoy it as we attended all of Mardi Gras festivities on Saturday and Sunday. We will definiately return when the weather is warmer and we have more time enjoy the beach and the condo. The interior design is gorgeous! John took great care of us to ensure that we had everything that we needed. We had four couples and it was awesome that each couple had their own bathroom to accompany the 4 bedrooms. Thanks John!

Owner response:Thank you for staying with us this year and enjoying the festivities at the beach. We always enjoy seeing our local freinds come out to the island and take advantage of this property We are happy that this home met your expectations and had enough room to give all four couples the space and privacy they needed. We hope that you will consider us again when you need that special place at your beach, Pensacola Beach. Thanks, John

Perfect for family and plenty of space!

We attended a family reunion and this condo was perfect for a gathering place through the weekend! There is plenty of room in the living area - and seating - for all your occupants and many visitors. We used 3 total condos for the weekend, and there was plenty of space to sit, relax, enjoy the views and enjoy each other's company without being on top of each other. All the bedrooms were beautifully furnished and decorated - but still so comfortable and welcoming. We will definitely look to stay in this condo again when our plans bring us to Pensacola Beach! Thank you, John, for a great condo and helping make our reunion weekend so enjoyable!

Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to post a review, they really help first time guests when selecting a vacation home. We enjoyed having your family and hope you come back soon. John

We just got back today and this condo and entire setting is number one in my book. I have stayed a lot of nice places and this is definitely beautiful. Not only that, but it is in a wonderful location. It is literally walking distance to many entertaining places. I think the only complaint is that the fire alarm managed to only need batteries in the middle of the night and would beep every so often, but that is not anything that cannot be fixed in a minute. We all liked the place so much that we are trying to figure out how we can come again only sooner next year. I would also like to extend an extra thanks to John who we almost gave problems to prior to our stay! Thanks for being patient and trying to work with us when we thought we would have to cancel. Danielle and Shane Degruise

Owner response:Thank you, we will try to do better alarm maintenace. Please come back again.

The view from the balcony is incredible - it offers a panoramic view of the beach and the sunsets. The pool and facilities are terrific. We will be back next year !

The condo was absolutely beautiful! Very spacious with great panoramic views of the Gulf and the sound. The workout facility was clean and modern, and the pool area was very spacious and very clean. Our children had a great time! Beach Club's location was very convenient to the beach, stores, and local restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beach Club and look forward to a return stay!

Just spectacular! The Beach Club is the premier address that you should consider for your next visit to Pensacola Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our visit. Dealing with the owner John was a great experience from our first call. He is straight up, and nothing misrepresented – you will sense that he is building a customer base and looks for return business. John will treat you like a brother you never had and this was important to us. The Beach Club is at the center of everything in this great and historic beach community. It is a strikingly beautiful property, well maintained and clean, having everything you need for a memorable family vacation. The security codes and locks are quite innovative and your family will certainly feel safe and will rest well. Speaking of which, the beds were surprisingly comfortable which made for a restful and wonderful vacation.I can’t wait to return! John, I’ve said it all – just the way it was, and now if you would contact me about a discount on our next visit – it would be even better!!Doug B from Jonesboro, GA

Owner response:Wow! Thank you, it was a pleasure having your family here and we will look forward to your return. John
