Enjoy all that Pensacola has to offer from this traditional 1930's NW Florida cottage centrally located in the fantastic neighborhood of East Pensacola Heights only 3.5 miles to Downtown/ Palafox Pier, 4 miles to Pensacola International Airport, 7.7 miles to Pensacola Beach and 8.7 miles to NAS Pensacola. This two bedroom/one bath cottage is for the guest that desires and appreciates a true, 1930's Pensacola cottage which showcases the original heart pine flooring, tongue and groove ceilings and wainscoting, yet through a tedious 2009 renovation, has all the expected modern conveniences such as granite countertops, dishwasher, enhanced fixtures and central heating and air conditioning. Extreme care was taken to preserve original architectural characteristics while enhancing the livability and comfort of the home. The floor plan provides maximum space utilization with an open living to dining room and the fantastic period ‘Jack and Jill’ bath is conveniently accessible from either bedroom. The “Florida” room off of the kitchen holds the full size washer and dryer as well as storage for beach toys, and other convenience items. Arguably the best part of the home is the inviting front porch swing; day or night, what better way to watch the world pass by! While this home can sleep up to four, it is primarily intended for a couple or small family get-away. The home is located 2.5 blocks from a city park with full playground, baseball fields etc., 4 blocks to an amazing family owned deli/grocery store (Apple Market), 6 blocks to a stretch of U.S Hwy 90 known as "Scenic Highway" that has a multitude of great family owned restaurants. With certainty, and as guest reviews attest, we believe this is the perfect accommodation for those interested in venturing from traditional lodging options while refusing to compromise high standards of safety, cleanliness and comfort. Our guests receive the best value of any place in town. Balance due only 14 days prior to arrival (most others are due at booking or 30 days out) and because we know life can abruptly change the best made plans, we remain extremely flexible to all cancellation requests. We hope you choose this 100% truly owner operated labor of love to be the basecamp in your Pensacola travels while making memories that last a lifetime. – Tim & Evie

About Tim and Evie Thoner
Our house has been a pleasurable pastime...our labor of love. We fancy the idea of devoting our passion into a home with character and 'good bones' by bringing it back to life. For us, it is fulfilling to take part in beautifying a neighborhood one house at a time. It is just another way for our family to be productive members of society.
Tim and Evie Thoner purchased this House in 2009
Why Tim and Evie Thoner chose East Pensacola Heights
We LOVE the location. East Pensacola Heights is a gem, situated on a peninsula with Escambia bay to the South and East and Bayou Texar to the West. This neighborhood is convenient to the beach, downtown, the mall, airport and has many of it's own restaurants and even an amazing 'old time' grocery store just 4 blocks away. Homes in East Pensacola Heights vary from the early 1900's to new construction happening on vacant lots today! The area has maintained as a clean, safe, working class neighborhood for over 100 years and that truly has something to be said for it.
What makes this House unique
From this location, you can explore Pensacola and the surrounding area easily and efficiently. There is a locals favorite deli/market (Apple Market) with full service espresso/Coffee bar 3-4 blocks away. Public park with water access (suitable for kayak/ paddle board) 2 blocks away, park with baseball field and children's playground 2 blocks away. Marina and Public boat ramp very close. Many Fantastic restaurant's within 1/2 mile. And of coarse the worlds most beautiful beaches 10-15 min away!!!

Accurately advertised.
Nice cozy residence in a quiet neighborhood.
Perfect for couples and families!
We loved the stay here, it was in a perfect area in a quiet neighborhood. Only 20 minutes to the beach and 5 minutes from the store. It had all that we needed and more and me and my boyfriend loved that the historic features still preserved. Definitely plan on coming back!
Awesome Cottage
This little cottage is perfect for a short time in lovely Pensacola! The home is quiet, close to all major attractions and held up fine without issues when a huge storm came in one night!
Exactly as advertised
Nice little house in a nice little neighborhood. Everything was clean, and seemed to be well taken care of.
Liked Our Stay
We spent 1 week at this house in Pensacola,FL. We enjoyed our time here and found it very relaxing, especially getting away from the Wisconsin winter weather. House was clean on the inside and had everything we needed except it would have been nice to have some lawn chairs to sit on in the backyard while grilling out. House was roomy for two adults and was cozy and comfortable.
Lovely place
3rd year and not the last we hope!

Rates & Availability
Additional information about rental rates
Our philosophy is that all hard working families deserve a vacation without breaking the bank! We only require a minimal $100 deposit to secure the reservation. This is where vrbo/homeaway adds their service fee, so your initial charge will be $100+ the site service fee of 8-12% of the total rental cost. Balance is not due until 14 days prior to arrival. Deposit refund is conditional based upon property condition. If damages are incurred or excessive cleaning required deposit funds will be utilized to return the property to the condition in which it was received.
