The Story of Screaming Reel Properties
The salty Florida breeze carried the laughter of children building sandcastles as Michelle Bentley watched from their waterfront deck. Beside her, Jody squeezed her hand, a silent testament to their shared dream come true - Screaming Reel Properties.
It wasn't always sandy toes and turquoise waters. Their story began years ago, fueled by a shared love for people and real estate. They yearned to merge their passions, turning a simple desire into a purpose. With a big dream and even bigger hearts, they began with just two one-bedroom apartments, a humble foundation for what was to come.
They poured their hearts into meticulous care and exceptional service, transforming those two apartments into a haven of unforgettable experiences. Soon, their portfolio expanded, encompassing houses and apartments across Pensacola, each meticulously chosen to offer unique character and charm.
As the business flourished, the Bentleys' dream grew beyond them. In 2021, Jody's brother Cary and his wife Debbie joined the fold, solidifying Screaming Reel Properties as a true family affair.

But Screaming Reel Properties wasn't just about vacation rentals; it was about creating a warm embrace for all. Guided by their Christian faith, the Bentleys fostered a welcoming environment, emphasizing respect and kindness for everyone who crossed their threshold. They understood that guests arrived with diverse backgrounds and beliefs, and their commitment extended far beyond the walls of their properties.
Today, the Bentleys' dedication to faith, family, and hospitality remains their cornerstone. Their passion for Pensacola shines brightly in an experience crafted not just through exquisite accommodations, but also through genuine warmth and understanding. With every guest they welcome, they share a piece of their family legacy, creating memories that linger long after the Florida sun sets on another unforgettable day.

Why they chose this property

This quiet family friendly neighborhood is safe, and quiet and offers so many parks, restaurants, shopping and more all within minutes.

What makes this property unique

This property has two units on one lot! The guest cottage and beside it is The Cozy House! Ask us about booking them both together!
