Best renal I've ever had. The owners do all they can to make your stay comfortable - lots of little touches. The house, though small, if very comfortable and feels bigger that it is. Highly recommended.
The house had a coffee bar, a hot chocolate bar chips, muffins, milk, all kinds of condiments even have a toothbrush with their own toothpaste for each person spending the night. It was very inviting.

Our stay was phenomenal! Very clean and the amenities were such a convenience. The hosts are spectacular and fast with communication. 10/10 I would love to stay again when visiting Pensacola.
Hosts went above and beyond in making us and our pups feel welcome. Holiday decor; amenities; extras like dog toys, warm socks, and and beach gear; all made for a wonderful, stress-free stay. Even the "House Rules" made you feel at ease! 1000/10 would book again!

Thank you so much for your kind words Peggy, We are glad we could help you find some comfort during your difficult time. We are also happy that your beautiful pup had a good time. Please come back & visit.
Our stay expericene was exceptional! The host took extra time and care of all of the details of our stay. The cottage was very clean and stocked. Lots of amenities and extras. Amazing booking, would highly recommend.
After a long hard 10 hour drive with my two girls and worrying, is the place secure for my puppers, is it clean from previous puppers families, do the pictures really reflect what the place looks like currently? Trying to drive hard to get here before dark...I made it and from the time they got out of the car the yard was secure. There was a welcome basket for my girls, bowls, and beds for them. You wouldn't even know another dog had been here, walked the yard... clean, perfect for my girls....im thinking thumbs up, I can make do....but no they had me covered as well, coffee set up, snack basket, lemonade stand (pictures to explain). Place is clean comfortable and backyard was nothing but relaxation for me and exploring for my girls. They are a 5 host I 100% recommend staying here. Thank you to the host for accommodating my changes and walking into your home knowing my girls are also set up for the stay. I would most definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property
My husband and I wanted to get away from the busy city life, we decided to make beautiful Pensacola our home. Our neighborhood is quiet, we are walking distance from a supermarket, 7 minutes from Sander's Beach (great for fishing) & 3 minutes away from a great seafood restaurant, 10 minutes from downtown & depending on traffic 15 to 20 minutes away from Pensacola Beach. Pensacola is very dog friendly, dogs are accepted almost everwhere, including many beaches. Cool places to hang out everywhere: Blue Wahoo Stadium, Goofy Golf (visit one of the oldest golf courses in the country with great prices & they have a 20 foot tall T-Rex); a must see for kids, Roger Scott Dog Park (nice park with small & large pups areas), National Aviation Museum-3.3 miles from our cottage, we also have great eateries like MiSu street food (delicious truck food), the Garden at Palafox+Main, Scenic 90 Cafe, Joe Patty's Seafood, the Fishouse, Shrimp Basket, Bubba's Sweet Spot (4 mi. away & great sweets), & all are dog friendly.
What makes this property unique
Family friendly,bright, airy,peaceful, on a quiet street, cottage restored to former glory with modern appliances & amenities. 10 min from downtown, 7min from Sander's Beach. Big fenced yard, beautiful covered front porch and spacious back deck with solar string lights, luscious plants & a grill. Outdoor dining table great for al fresco dining. We have a game room with foosball, ping pong table, corn hole set & much more. We also have beach gear available (beach chairs, beach umbrella, a cooler on wheels, beach toys, a picnic basket etc...). Ultimately, we are trying to create lasting memories for our guests & their pups.
