Very Good

You do have a partial beach view from the balcony.I would give a higher rating but, the furniture leaves a lot to be desired. The couch is terrible. The king bed was comfortable. Overall cleanness was good except for the dirty streak on the living room ceiling coming from the air duct. The air filter was filthy.
We stayed at this property for a friend's wedding weekend. It was just what we needed...2 BRs and 2 full baths for four adults.

Thank you Karen for the five-star review! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you again soon.
The location was great and only a short walk through the complex to get on the beach. The unit was very comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Did notice that the tile floors seemed to accumulate a lot of sand/dirt. We have stayed on the beach and understand some sand will always find it's way in, but this seemed to be more than normal. Though overall enjoyed our stay.

We have stayed at a lot of beach rentals and this rental by far was the worst when it comes to cleanliness. The side of the bed in the bedroom with the two beds had a nasty looking stain and a huge rip. The bathtub had black hair on the side of the tub, dont even get me started on the mold on the night stand in the blue bedroom and the rusted lamp. Just pathetic. I would be ashamed if I was the owners of this property. They obviously take no pride in their rental. We took several photos of how bad the inside was. And the decor, looked like stuff that came from a thrift store or got free off the side of the road literally. And in the bedroom with the two beds, the fan squeaked and woke my daughter up in the middle of the night it was so loud. So replacing the fan would be a good idea. We will not be staying that this condo again. Save your money and go elsewhere where its actually clean vs nasty. I will say though the location is nice and the actual property was nice. Condo was just awful. I blame the owners.
This place has potential for 5 star rating. Beach access, nice place with reponsive management. But, not as clean as I like to feel comfortable. Seems like it hadnt been stayed in for a while. The sofa is trash, looks ok, but it feels like sitting on boards. This was a problem
Overall was nice stay, need more kitchen towels and clothes to wash dishes. An extra set of sheets for the futon would be nice , only one set provided.

Our goal is to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all our guests, and your input helps us work towards that. We hope to host you again!
We had a blast at our stay! The condo J1 was cozy and looked like the pictures… The only negative was there were no pillowcases on the king bed pillows and none in the condo to put on them. The furniture (couches) are pretty old looking and need updated. Everything else was good! The pool is small and can get crowded, but that’s everywhere. Beach access was nice!

The condo is in a great location with a quick walk to the beach. The condo was a little outdated and the air conditioner broke while we were they. The maintenance crew attempted to fix it during our stay, but we ended up leaving a night early.

Your comments on the unit being outdated have been noted and will be addressed in our continuous improvement efforts. We hope you give us another opportunity to host you in the future.
Best regards,

Really convenient unit to get in and out of. Great parking spot and a single flight of steps to the door. Beach is really close. Living room sleeping was a futon and a foam mattress stored in a closet which wasn’t what we expected but it worked. No carpet so you will feel sand on your feet everywhere but there’s no helping it; you’re at the beach. Washer and dryer were really nice.

The location was excellent. There was a terrible smell and the floors were nasty. Living room furniture needs to be replaced. Called property management about the floors and they were very polite and said they would send someone out. No one ever showed up. The sink had leftover food in it. We sprayed febreze and disinfectant spray everyday trying to get the smell out. The place would be nice with a deep clean and updated furniture.

Pensacola Beach Getaway
Nice little getaway... No frills or luxury, though. Deco is bland, Location is great! We had no working TV in 1 bedroom, no toaster working and blinds broken in living room upon arrival. We called the next morning and they sent repairman within an hour over to fix things. The website needs updating since it says no hairdryer and there are 2 in condo. Furniture needs updating, very uncomfortable.
We enjoyed the space with 7 people- one being a3 yr old. Wish the weather was better but the days we did get to enjoy were wonderful. The beach at this location was the most cleanest and beautiful by far that I have been. It is a very quiet family zone.
We loved that we could keep our beach supplies close and walk.
The only downfall I think we needed a broom to probably keep the sand outside better- this was the first Vrbo that we didn’t have that.
Nice overall experience. Will recommend to others and will stay again.

Great location, from the moment we walked thru the door of the condo it was disgusting! floors were filthy, sandy, kitchen was horrible stove had food stuck to it, coffee maker didn't work, towel bar in bathroom was broken, furniture was stained and dirty.
We were grateful to have such a nice, safe place to evacuate to on such short notice as Hurricane Ida approached New Orleans. Though unable to enjoy the property as much as we would have liked, it was a clean, comfortable space. I appreciate management’s flexibility, working with us on short notice.
