Thank you for the 5 star review! We're glad the check-in went smoothly and the kitchen was well stocked for your stay. Hope to welcome you back soon - Gulf Coast Getaways
The property was as represented online. The location was is a stone's throw from Pensacola Beach Boardwalk, near anything you could need or want, restaurants, shopping, fishing, nightlife, steps away from the beach and a pool onsite just added to experience. Heed the helpful Hints about what to bring, (especially as it relates to paper towels, toilet paper, etc. The view from the second-floor master is picturesque. We had a group of 20 attending a College Graduation. To my surprise and satisfaction there were plenty of towels and a laundry to wash when needed. I have stayed at vacation rentals where that was not the case. The home was beautifully decorated; the layout accommodated several families with no complaints (always a plus). Upon departure and 200 miles away, we realized we had left an item. I contacted Gulf Coast Getaways, they immediately responded and provided instructions on how to retrieve. The family was very complementary about the property. This property offers everything you need to bring a family together to celebrate in one place. I would not hesitate to reserve this property in the future.
This is our family’s second year staying at this property. We love the location and the property is very accommodating. Communication with the host is timely. Had a wonderful time!
Our stay at Villa Primera was perfect - the house and décor is stunning. Views and balconies are amaing. The property manager was responsive and flexible to our needs. Would return and highly recommend!
Perfect size for 12 adults to have their own room, RR and places to work. The pool was a fantastic place to gather and enjoy time together. together. Views, spectrum
We had a group from ages 70 to 10 months. The house accommodated all 18 of us wonderfully! Would definitely recommend the house and location. Communication with the property management was spot on.

We agree! This is just a beautiful beach home, decorated perfectly with a great layout. Thank you for the kind words and we hope to see you back!
We had a very nice stay. The only small item was the description of the path to the beach was listed as being a good bit shorter than the actual path. But that was not too big a deal - it was so hot! The road and sand were blistering. We enjoyed the house and pool!
Thanks,
Mark
This property was incredible for a group. There was space for everyone and at anytime of the day. People could have fun together on the pool level or go to a higher level to have some privacy. The house was well equipped with pretty much everything we needed. It was walking distance to the restaurants, shops and night life! It was steps away from the beach. Will definitely recommend this property to others and hopefully rent it again in the future!
Our family of 17, 8 adults and 9 children ranging in ages from 14 to 2, spent the week! 5 minute walk to a beautiful wide, mostly deserted, white sand, clear water beach! There is a wagon and lots of pool toys and beach chairs available, although the closet is poorly organized and jam packed. Any question or concern that came up was promptly addressed! The beds mattresses could be updated and be aware that there are mostly no dressers for clothing but there are some shelves in the closet. More hangers in each closet would be a nice addition. We would definitely stay here again. And we had a great dinner at The Grand Marlin!
Overall wonderful property! There were 21 of us over three generations with our kids and grandkids.House could use more large bowls and large platter for house that sleeps 21! Awesome having wine fridge-would have liked plastic wine glasses for around pool !We loved watching the Fourth of July fireworks from the third floor deck!!Not related to the property but we wre surprised at the amount of trash on the beach. We’ve been coming to PCB since the late 70’s and have always loved how clean and natural it was but this year was a disappointment. Hopefully that can be remedied through your local leadership.But we’ll be back-we all love it there
We stayed here with our whole family as a last vacation destination for our grandparents. The house is beautiful and everyone was comfortable during their stay. It's not too far from the beach, about a five minute walk. The huge kitchen and indoor/outdoor dining tables allowed for everyone to cook and dine together, which was the highlight for our week. A few family members had difficulty using the elevator. It was sensitive and if not used precisely it would shut down. Normally it wouldn't be a huge issue, but my grandparents are handicapped and relied on it to get in an out of the house. The response times from the property manager and maintenance were swift however, and we were back on track.

Thank you for the great review! Sounds like a 5 star experience! Gulf Coast Getaways
Our family of 20 just left this awesome place! Each of our 5 families had a beautiful room and bathroom, and the 10 kiddos shared the comfy bunks. The location is perfect because it’s minutes from restaurants, and nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Best of both worlds! We would book this house again!
Stayed here for my 40th birthday celebration with friends. Was an excellent choice for beach access, in home private chef dinners, gatherings, etc. The in room bathrooms in every room is wonderful for privacy of every guests. We also loves all of the balconies! We had a wonderful time!
Overall this house is nice. There is a discrepancy with checkout instructions. Text states leave bedding on bed; book in the house states remove all bedding and pile on the bed. Also they need a full size Keurig. The one cup Keurig is not sufficient for 20 people.
We selected this property because we have 3 generations who love Pensacola beach. We like having a pool on the property for the times we can’t go to the beach due to jellyfish or something else. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and the house was clean, beautiful, and well equipped for a family that also likes to cook some of our meals. Close to many restaurants and shops. Close to a beautiful state park that our family loves. This house is perfect for large families and/or a wedding party.
This home exceeded our expectations! We had a group of 15 with all age ranges and the space was perfect. Plenty of space for all to sleep, well stocked kitchen, great pool/outdoor space and very close to the beach!
Beautifully decorated and very clean. Miner things that need to be fixed but nothing that got in the way of a wonderful stay. The pool was fantastic! The "big kids" loved it. The grill worked great. and having two options was a nice surprise. Plenty of parking space for all the families on the trip. Couldn't figure out how to use the tub, so we didn't use it but the shower in the master was wonderful.
We stayed here with all our kids, their spouses and grandkids (17 total) and it was perfect. There were enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to be comfortable. We had 2 very minor maintenance issues and both times someone came out within an hour. The kitchen was well stocked, the pool was very nice, and it was a close walk to the beach. Also the 4th floor bonus room and deck area was great. We spent quite a bit of time up there talking, reading, watching the waves, etc. Highly recommend this house!!
This property was absolutely lovely! We had 5 couples, and the house was extremely comfortable. Each couple had their own room and bathroom. With that being said, we had additional 10 beds open. Its the house you want if your have a big group and kids too. The house was very clean. The views were gorgeous. The pool and outdoor space was absolutely perfect. It was close to everything. We rode bikes to and from the little town. I will 100% rent this property again! We'll be back next year!
Beautiful house, amazing location.. perfect for our retreat!
Everyone complimented on the fact that the furniture, decorations and furnishings were as if this were someone's private home. There is so much space for comfy gatherings. Loved this house and location!!
