Thank you for your review and for choosing Gulf Coast Getaways. We’re glad you enjoyed the direct, steps‑from‑the‑water location and that you found the place nice. We appreciate the 4‑star rating. If there’s anything we could improve to make a future stay five stars, please share details through your Vrbo message so we can address them. We hope to welcome you back.
With warm coastal regards,
Gulf Coast Getaways Team
Our family had a great time! Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, and a very well stocked kitchen. My only wish was that it had a ice maker which would have eliminated several trips to the store to restock our coolers. The view and weather were fabulous!
This place was a dream in the best location. You just can't beat Pensacola Beach and with this house, you are right on it. The private boardwalk was an added bonus and the house, in general, was very accommodating. If you like to cook on vacation the kitchen is stocked which is nice. I can't say enough good things about this place!
This property was perfect location- just far enough from town for an exclusive fun family time, but just close enough to run into town for activities and restaurant dinners!
Love that it’s directly on the beach and has a nice big open cement area under the house too! All the rooms were just what we needed, and great details with the renovation! Fully stocked! Kitchen had everything we needed!!
We would stay here again!

Thank you for the excellent 5 star review. This house is a fan favorite and you described a lot of the great qualities! We hope to have you back soon, Gulf Coast Getaways
Your house was perfect for our 7 adults and 4 children. Only 20 minutes from the airport... 4 bedrooms with attached bathrooms... all on one level... right on the sand for all our children's gear... fabulous kitchen for entertaining... outside shower for sandy bodies... close to the grocery! We had a wonderful stay, and hope to do it again!

Awesome! Thank you for the great review, your description is perfect and helpful for our future guests. We hope to have you back soon, summer of 2022 will sell out quick! Gulf Coast Getaways
We had a great beach vacation, staying in this property. Just steps to the water, short drive to restaurants and shops, great space for a group of our size and the open concept was perfect for hanging out together. Love that every room had their own bathroom and the finishes/amenities were great. The management company was super easy to work with and the text concierge was very responsive and helpful. Great overall experience.

Fantastic - Thanks for great review on the House and our services! Hope to have you back very soon - Gulf Coast Getaways
Beautiful beach, nice house. Easy process to book and strong communication with property management. House has a few quirks, the professional grade oven/cook top could use instructions, one master bedroom has no closet or dresser to use other than a makeshift contraption placed in a walkway, etc. Great beach front with short walk to the water, however it is next to the public access for the community which can create congestion on the beach.

Thank you for the great 5 star review! Our vacation guests love this house and location! There is a booklet in the house that has the appliance instructions, you must have missed that, no big deal. There is public access location throughout the residential portion of Pensacola Beach, however because there is very limited public parking and tons of beach space the beach never gets crowded. Thanks again and hope to have you back soon - Gulf Coast Getaways

The house is nice. There were a few things we had to call maintenance about ,but they were fixed for us. Wiring in kitchen needs work. And hot water heater needs turning up..but all in all we would go back again. Beautiful view.

Thank you for the kind review! This house is currently undergoing a huge renovation and getting a new kitchen, new wiring and several awesome updates - the owners are spending over 150K to update so it was nice before but will be incredible when finished. Renovations will be done in time for March 2018! Hope to see you back!

The house was great but found out at the last minute we had to pay a large amount because we had a wedding. I emailed the owner 3 times to ask about wedding and no answer and at the last minute we had to pay a large amount. That we were prepared for. There are snakes all around the sand dunes around the house. We saw 3 while we were there. House was great except lights above island did not work and the ceiling fans were bad dirty.
Amazing house for our 3-family get together! Great location and just far enough away from town to avoid the craziness. Come prepared with the essentials though - sponge to wash dishes, extra toilet paper (only 1 roll per bathroom), paper towels/napkins and if you're lucky the can opener we had to buy will still be there. Also the towels are a bit thin, so be prepared to do laundry. Even with all these details in mind, I would still highly recommend the house to friends and family simply because of the location and view.
Great stay first week of August in Pensacola. Property is exceptionally stocked—from dish ware for 20+, blender, and all kitchen devices you may need. Additional ice maker (similar to an Opal) is almost worthless—you will definitely need to purchase from a nearby vendor if stocking coolers which should be expected.
Very open floor plan with four bedrooms (2 each side) each with own bathroom. Nicely updated, received no complaints from anyone about bedding/linens.
Huge deck with bbq(didn’t use, I don’t bbq with propane!) and seating for the whole party.
Nicest surprise was tons of beach gear secured in the garage—kayak, surfboard, boogie and skim boards, chairs, and tons of little kid stuff too(didn’t use).
Enclosed shower in the parking area made clean up a breeze after returning from the beach.
Overall, one of the nicest properties we’ve stayed at in P’cola. I highly recommend LazyDays beach service for chairs /umbrellas and other paddleboards or kayaks. They put them out by 9 and retrieve them for you at the end of the day.
We were here at the end of the summer, so the next-door public access wasn’t ideal, but not much of a crowd for us so not a problem.
Only issue we had was the oven has trouble closing—rests about 1/2” open unless delicately placed fully closed. Nice range though with 8 burners if I remember correctly.
We rented this house for a family wedding and took our adult children for the weekend. The house is lovely and very accommodating. There is a problem with the large stove. I have a commercial grade stove, so I know how to operate one. The large oven in this house can not be turned on without setting a timer which is not normal. There is a green binder in the kitchen with directions on how to operate the stove, so be aware of this problem. We were not aware of this problem and so we had to call maintenance. Once they came, they showed us the binder and taught us how to turn on the oven.
Also, there is a public access to the beach right next to the home. We were willing to pay the expense of this home because of the convenience of walking right out to the beach. We did not give a lot of thought to the fact that the public beach access is right next to where you would set up for the day on the beach. On Saturday, we were forced to move down the opposite direction of the public beach, because of the crowds, and the type of crowds that set up within 3 feet of us. Obviously, we were not expecting a private beach, but we had not walked through this possibility.
Overall, the house is lovely and the 4 bedroom/4 bath was perfect for us and our 3 children.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Sept 2023
Thank you for the kind words about this great beach house! We are sorry about the confusion with the oven, this is a gas operated oven which is a little unusual and that is why an instruction book is included. As far as the beach crowding, that sounds like a very unusual circumstance and we have not had that complaint before in the several years we have been renting this house. There is plenty of beach space and this is all residential area with very limited public parking and no high rises or hotels. There are beach access points every couple of hundred feet in the residential areas for public use and it is mostly used by others staying at homes in the area, due to the lack of public parking. The beach is wide and spacious and we may get busy but it is rarely if ever crowded. Thanks, Gulf Coast Getaways
