(If unavailable see our new property #1062650)
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 Pensacola
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!!!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Dear Tim & Evie,
We had such an amazing week! We really appreciate your allowing us to stay in your adorable home. Your recommendations for children were wonderful!

We look forward to returning!

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(90 traveler reviews)
It looked fine when we first went in then the cockroachs came out! we found lots in kitchen .
We would never stay here again! Roaches every where, not just kitchen. We tried calling and emailing owner multiple times b/c they said we could contact them anytime to no avail. I think we r done with home away.Which is a real shame b/c we rented one in mederia, fl in jan. that was perfect. This was supposed to be a nice vaca when we took our son and daughter to college for the first time. We ended up leaving three days early due to the roaches. We really expected a phone call or email from the owners. We sent them pictures of roaches thru email and got nothing. Very disappointed !
Great Home and Excellent Location!
The home was just the right size and had everything we wanted and best of all is the location. We could easily get to the beaches and downtown too. We were pleasantly surprised by great restaurants within walking distance.
Can't wait to come back!
Thank you Tim and Evie, this place was perfect for our vacation. Everything was provided and ready to go. This Cottage is truly a hidden gem. Clean and great communication. We will be coming back!
Lovely
Our family really enjoyed our stay!
Sehr schöner Urlaub
Ein sehr schönes Haus, klein aber fein!
Lage ist sehr gut.
Die Betten könnten mal erneuert werden.
Beautiful & Perfect!
We were in town for a wedding and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. Tim and Evie have so much in the home you don't have to buy much of anything! The house was clean and well maintained, rooms were perfect and the kitchen was just big enough. The only downfall was the tiny narrow tub...just made showering a little uncomfortable. Aside from that, all our friends staying on the island at hotels and some condos complained about how dirty, unkept or smelly their rooms were. We were excited to have an amazing place to stay and call home for our visit. Will definitely bring my family back and stay here in the future. THANK YOU TIM AND EVIE FOR PROVIDING A HOUSE THAT FEELS LIKE A HOME and at such a reasonable price! Bless you!
