The space One of Pensacola’s architecturally significant Victorian homes. The house construction initiated in 1902 by Steamboat Captain James M. Flynn and was completed around 1904 when the Thomas W. Brent, Jr. family moved in. Over the years it has also served as a hotel, bed-and-breakfast, advertising agency, and more. Previously featured in Southern Living Magazine.

We had a large group of 13 stay for family vacation. The place was perfect! It was so nice and clean, check-in process was easy, and communication with the host was top notch. Would definitely stay here again!
What a beautiful, historical place. Every room was beautiful and we saw something new every time we entered a room. The stain glass pieces were stunning and the crystal glimmered in each room. The location was perfect. We walked to Gallery Night and to The Palafox Market. Great restaurants are within walking distance. We had a perfect weekend staycation
I stayed here with the head party for a wedding in Pensacola. This rental served as an excellent place to relax, prepare, and facilitate travel for our out-of-town guests. The house was spacious and allowed for some great photos!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this awesome huge victorian home. Our family had plenty of room ro relax and enjoy their stay. Wonderful communication with host.
The location of this property is perfect. 15 minutes from the airport, and a 5 minute walk to downtown. We were close by everything and did not have to pay to park.
We loved this beautiful old home! The rooms were large and decorated so nicely. Very impressive house. Also location perfect to walk from downtown restaurants .
One of the few homes I’ve stayed that the “sleeps#” is 100% accurate. Beds are all comfortable queens. Decor is perfect. This place has a personality. Downtown is quiet and subdued, but still close enough to all the fun. Owner is incredibly helpful and available. Perfect stay.
We hosted family for our son’s wedding this weekend. Very cool place and sooo much room for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves! We had an amazing stay!
This is an amazing house managed by a wonderful owner. The house is immaculately maintained and clean as well as located in a very nice historic area. The owner was the best we've ever dealt with. I could not say enough good things about this stay!
We were in town for our son’s wedding. This house was perfect for our family and extended family. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very clean. The accommodations in the house were excellent. The host is very attentive to details in the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommended 100%. The home was absolutely beautiful.
