Beautiful house and great location. The extras that come with this house such as beach toys and chairs along were way more than expected. They were very accommodating on short notice. Really good communication with quick responses. Wish we could have spent more time there.

Very, very well stocked kitchen and beach toys and chairs! The place was extremely nice, the only thing I would caution is that the second bed in most of the bedrooms are just unfoldable chairs. It’s not actually a twin bed like the picture shows. We were suppose to have more people stay at the house but I’m so glad 2 backed out or it would’ve been uncomfortable. However, if you have young children, it is not a problem.

House was adequate, served our needs. Bedding was okay. Kitchen is well equipped, however problems with the ovens, 1 doesn’t properly close and the other basically doesn’t function. Elevator was helpful with taking luggage/grocery’s up. Beach amenities were nice. Hot water was a struggle, I am sure due to tankless water heaters. Beach access was great. Overall I would say our stay was pleasant.

It’s a big house with plenty of room for big groups. They had everything we needed. It’s on a quiet end of the island and is nice to be away from the busy boardwalk area if you’re with kids. The beach is a short walk, so be ready to haul everything, but they have a couple nice wagons to use. It was nice to be next to the pool as well. I’d recommend this place if you like the Pensacola Beach area.

Family beach visit

The best vacation ever. The kids loved the gameplay and we all loved the corn hole boards as a pastime when we weren’t at the beach. I cannot say anything bad about this property or Katrina (owner) The grandkids even said best place we have stayed at. And we usually visit annually with our family.

This was the perfect home for a beach vacation, with easy access to the beach and the bay, and in a gated community. The accommodation was very comfortable. We appreciated the large spaces to gather on the decks, living room, and game room. Beach toys, chairs, and umbrellas were a special treat. Katrina was very responsive and communicated with us often. This was our best family gathering to date. I highly recommend this home.

Last Minute to the "Gulf of America" for Memorial Day!

Three Generations wanted to head to the beach as soon as school was out. We were so happy to find this comfortable, well appointed, conveniently located home. The owner thought of everything and made it available for us right down to the beach chairs, umbrellas and baby gates. Communication w/ Katrina was a breeze just like the porch swing! We enjoyed an unexpected firework show by Portofino from the deck. The community pool is viewable from the house and the dock and bay are just a short walk. I highly recommend for a large family or group and will definitely return.

Most amazing house ever!

I have been coming to Pensacola for 20 plus years and this is the best house I have ever rented. The house was stocked with any and everything you could need. It even had a fully stocked spice drawer! The balcony views are incredible. The neighborhood has always been a favorite of mine. Gated with a pool and a pier in walking distance. This house is the best in the neighborhood. Katrina thought of everything when it came to games, beach gear, the best beach chairs, beach towels, shampoo/conditioner in every bath and every kitchen appliance you could ask for. I will rent this house again!
