About this property

Blue Ox

Summary:

New Listing!

This cozy blue cottage offers a simple and comfortable stay for up to 5 guests. With three bedrooms and one bath, it's a great choice for families or small groups looking for a laid-back getaway.



Located in a central but modest neighborhood, the area is more residential and working-class than touristy—but it’s just a short drive to Pensacola’s beaches, parks, and attractions.



You’ll have access to high-speed WiFi, a TV, and a pet-friendly space. The home is kid-friendly too. Please note there are two separate units located behind the cottage.



The Space:

Charming, Farmhouse-Inspired Interior with Open Living Space



Step inside this recently updated home and enjoy a warm, farmhouse-inspired interior designed for comfort and connection. The heart of the home features a wide-open living and dining area, perfect for gathering with family or friends. The large dining table invites shared meals, game nights, or casual conversation, while the open-concept kitchen makes it easy to cook and socialize at the same time.



The living space is filled with natural light and thoughtfully decorated with cozy touches that give it a relaxed, welcoming vibe.



While the bedrooms are on the cozier side, they’re clean, comfy, and well-suited for a restful night’s sleep. Each one provides a peaceful retreat with enough space to unpack, unwind, and settle in.



The home also includes a standalone laundry room, offering added convenience for longer stays or families traveling with kids.



Everything has been recently updated, blending modern function with classic farmhouse charm—creating a space that feels both homey and fresh.



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to the entire home, including the cozy living areas, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. Enjoy the large backyard, perfect for relaxing or entertaining.



Driveway Parking is available for two cars, directly in front of the home.



For added convenience, there is a keyless entry system for easy check-in and check-out.



Feel free to make yourself at home and enjoy all the amenities we have to offer!



The Neighborhood:

Convenient, Budget-Friendly Location in the Heart of Pensacola



This property is located in a centrally situated, working-class neighborhood—practical and quiet, though not upscale. Some surrounding homes are older or in varying states of upkeep, so the area may feel more lived-in than polished. It’s not a tourist destination itself, but it offers a great jumping-off point to explore Pensacola affordably and easily.



Because of its location, you’ll be:



5–10 minutes from Downtown Pensacola, home to local restaurants, coffee shops, nightlife, and historic attractions like the Pensacola Museum of Art and the Saenger Theatre.



5 minutes to Bayview Park, where you can enjoy walking trails, bayfront views, a dog park, picnic areas, and kayak launches.



10–12 minutes to the Pensacola Bayfront, ideal for fishing, jogging, or catching a sunset.



20–25 minutes to Pensacola Beach, known for its white sands, clear water, and family-friendly boardwalk.



Close to several grocery stores, gas stations, and casual dining options.



The neighborhood itself is quiet and residential, with limited foot traffic and a relaxed, local vibe. While it may not offer scenic walks or touristy charm, its central location makes it easy to get just about anywhere in the city quickly—making it a smart choice for visitors who want to explore Pensacola without overspending on accommodations.



Interaction with Guests:

We’re here to ensure you have a fantastic stay! While we respect your privacy, we’re just a message away if you need anything or have questions about the property. Feel free to reach out for local recommendations, assistance with the home, or any other inquiries.



Enjoy your time at Banana Cabana and make yourself at home. We look forward to hosting you and making your stay memorable!

We have had a great stay at the blue ox. We never felt unsafe. My husband and son walked our dogs at all hours of the day and night. Neighbors are super friendly. The house has everything you would need for short or long stay. Comfy beds to rest after a long day.

Disliked: Location
The beds were extremely uncomfortable and the bathroom is extremely small. There is no circulation inside the house. The house next door is abandoned on cinder blocks and there is a homeless person living in the park next door. The neighborhood looks rough but we weren't bothered. It's fine for a short term but wouldn't recommend longer than a few nights

The house is small but was clean and pet friendly. The home was located in an area that is less than desirable, the house next door was boarded up and abandoned, and there is no yard for your furry friends despite the listing stating there is. Directly behind the house is 2 apartments. It was quiet at night and no one bothered us during our stay. The bathroom is extremely tight. The bed frame was very loud and creaked and cracked if anyone moved at all during the night. Overall if you’re looking for a place to sleep at night this house is a good solution. If you're looking to spend more time in the rental or looking for an area with things to do then this might not be for you.
