The house accommodated our families very well. The location is perfect. You have an ocean view and a 1 min walk to the beach. There was an issue with the elevator, but it was promptly repaired the same day. We did not have any issues communicating with the host or Gulfshores rentals. We would definitely stay there again.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We're glad you enjoyed the house and those amazing views. We would love to welcome you back for another beach getaway soon.

Brand new beautiful vacation home. Nicely laid out and comfortable for 10-14 people. Great location. Close to the beach and everything downtown Pensacola Beach. We rented the golf cart too & loved it!

Thank you for the excellent 5 star review! This house is absolutely gorgeous and a great example of a high end home with fantastic furnishings and amenities - close to the beach which is steps away! Hope to have you back soon, Gulf Coast Getaways
House was awesome. Has everything and more. Pool and beach access tremendous. The great responsiveness by Bri, the property manager was excellent. If an issue arose (and they were all minor issues like needing a battery) all we had to do was text her and it was immediately addressed. Her support made the stay all that more enjoyable as to our peace of mind. Definitely will try to stay again.
Tuscan Sun is a lovely home on the beach. The location was great, although I was a little disappointed that the construction was still ongoing across the street. Not so much for noise, as for the parking on the street. The workers parked right next to the beach path, so it was difficult for people, especially kids, to see oncoming cars when crossing the street. Understandably, that is not the fault of the rental. The house was clean, comfortable and well appointed. It also afforded amazing views from the balconies. There was plenty of room to spread out for our large group of 17. The ice maker wasn't really working on the refrigerator, but it was not a problem to buy additional ice. The two dishwashers came in handy with so many people making food. All in all, it was a wonderful rental, and we would definitely recommend.

Thank you for great 5 star review. People are allowed to park on the south side of the beachfront street, but they definitely should not block the beach access point that is right there. Future guests should know that the construction is in its final finishing stages and the house that was built is just about done. Thank you again for the review and we hope to have you back soon ! Gulf Coast Getaways
The house is brand new & beautiful! The views are spectacular & the location is perfect! Beach access is right across the street & just steps away! The beach was very quiet & so much less crowded than others we’ve visited in the area!
We had 14 people & the pool/pool deck were a little small, but we loved the views & having the pool on the second floor! Warning to parents - there is a steep spiral staircase going down to the ground level from the pool deck, which was very stressful with our toddlers! We ended up having to use a patio table to block it, but having a gate there would be ideal!
We wished there was hand soap in each bathroom, so plan on bringing/buying that, along with toilet paper, beach towels, laundry detergent, laundry soap, coffee filters, hair dryer, etc. as not much was provided - they did warn us ahead of time about most of this, so we came prepared.
We had a couple electrical issues, but the management company was very responsive & got everything fixed almost immediately. They were also very accommodating with our check in/out!
Would definitely recommend this spot!
It was a very nice 4 level house with an elevator! All the rooms were very accommodating. A lot of space and bathrooms for everyone. We did have a little issue with the grill. We were unable to use it, but everything else was great! It would have been nice if they had a ping pong table as well as the pool table that the supplied. Also, the bathrooms could use magnifying mirrors and we could have used some full length mirrors as well.
Thank you for your 4‑star review and for choosing Gulf Coast Getaways. We appreciate your feedback — if there’s anything we could improve to earn five stars, please let us know via your Vrbo message so we can address it. We hope to host you again.
