Poolside Retreat! Private pool & hot tub! Only 5 min to Beach!
Looking for the perfect place to stay for your beach vacation? Look no further! Our beautiful, newly furnished home has everything you need for the perfect vacation including your own private pool and hot tub!!! The pool is in a screened in enclosure (bye bye bugs) and surrounded by a covered patio with comfy seating, a sit up bar w/beverage fridge, outdoor TV and a dining table for six. Or kick back and relax poolside in our hammock.
This home is located in a nice neighborhood 5 minutes from the beautiful white sands of Perdido Key and Johnson's beaches. It is 2 minutes from Big Lagoon State Park and less than 5 minutes to NAS. In fact on Tuesdays, you might even get a sneak peek of the Blue Angels practicing. . . super cool!
Our 2300 sq foot home features five comfortable bedrooms with their own smart ROKU TV. Plus we have two luxury twin EZ roll away airbeds available for our 11th and 12th guests when needed. They are stored in the master bedroom closet along with bedding for the beds. There are two full bathrooms (one ensuite in master bedroom with walk in shower and garden tub). The open floor plan allows everyone to be part of the fun and flows right out the backdoor to the poolside retreat. The large well stocked kitchen provides all the amenities needed for those that want to prepare their own meals including a crock pot, pancake griddle, blender, and drip coffee pot (plus a French Press for those that prefer that).
Guests will need to log into their won streaming services for TV viewing. TVs are set up in "guest mode" which facilitates easy log in and log out for guests.
The pool and hot tub are just out the backdoor (which has a deadbolt for child safety). The pool is not heated and is 6 feet deep at it's deepest point. Please swim responsibly and parents/adults are responsible for their children's safety.
Our hope is that you have a wonderful stay at our home while in Pensacola. We are accessible by Airbnb/VRBO message centers or text/call if there is an emergency. If you have questions or concerns during your stay, please contact us immediately so we can address them.
You will want to have a car to be able to experience all the fun Pensacola and the surrounding areas have to offer.

Excellent stay. Everything was great. Awesome communication and no issues. Pool was wonderful and the air conditioning was top notch. Can’t say enough about our stay.
Best place we have stayed in our 5 years of going on our Florida yearly vacation. Close to ocean. Great location. Host was amazing and willing to go above and beyond to make our enjoyable. Pool and hot tub was amazing to our vacation. TV in every room. Best was TV on patio to swim and watch TV or even listen to music. House was beautiful. Loved the layout. I would highly recommend this house to any future guests and would return again. Host even recommended beaches and restaurants. The Salty Pearl restaurant was our favorite for fresh fish.

This is a great property, I loved the stay, and the owner provided all that you would need for the beach. (Chairs, umbrellas, water toys, and even a cooler). This was truly and amazing vacation.
Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach, golf state parks, and restaurants
we spent two weeks in this beautiful five bedroom home. It was furnished with all the amenities that we needed. All of the beds had high-quality bedding. Well stocked kitchens and bathrooms. Nice, quiet neighborhood.

We loved hosting you Cara! Thank you for taking such great care of our home and we hope to host you again in the future!
Home was exactly what we needed for large family. It was well kept up, clean, updated and fully functional. Good location and plenty of parking. Hope to enjoy another stay in the future.
Very kid friendly house! Sound machines in every room, 2 pack and plays with sheets included, sippy cups are provided. Having the pool was wonderful for our stay

Erin we are thrilled you enjoyed staying at our home and it makes us happy that the amenities we provide served your family well!
Home was up to date and very clean. The pool with bar was an added treat. There were 7 of us on motorcycles, and the beds/baths were accomodating. We used one of the inflatable beds however it did not hold air for very long (moved to couch during the night). Home is very close to NAS Pensecola which allowed us to visit the .museum and see the Blue Angels fly. Only regret was we could'nt stay longer! We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great stay. Host provided many helpful items that made our stay easy! Be aware one of the bathrooms is in the primary bedroom. This worked for our families staying together but took a bit of extra communication. :) Pool, hot tub, and outdoor spaces were great!
This home is excellent, clean and comfortable. The owner responded promptly to my emails throughout the weekend and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was well stocked with all essential items and much more. She went above and beyond. My family and I really enjoyed this vacation. Beyond 5 stars!!!
We had a full family of 12 and everyone slept comfortably. Plenty of space for all. Great size pool for a pool day. Host was very welcoming, she made sure to communicate if we had any questions during our stay. Which we didn’t, because everything was great. The house provided everything we needed which allowed for minimal packing. Great experience!
From start to finish Kim and Aaron were amazing hosts. My family and I travel all over and never stay in the same place twice, but we're already planning our trip back next year! They literally thought of everything! Nothing was a miss! It's such a good location to visit both Pensacola and Gulf Shores Alabama. Everything was so clean and organized! It really felt like a home away from home. The enclosed back patio with the pool, bar and outdoor tv with lounge chairs was AMAZING! Thanks again! We will be back!

We definitely had some hiccups with the rental. The cleaning staff was upset we checked in early which was approved by the renter. One of the ladies husband showed up and was UPSET and MEAN. We had to go buy our own paper towels and toilet paper. Each bathroom had 2 rolls and the kitchen had 2 but there were 8 people and we were there over a week. After messaging the renter we were able to get more. So that was nice, just inconvenient.People came to clean the pool Tuesday and the hot tub Monday and Friday. Which is nice to have it clean but didn’t feel private cause we didn’t want to be in the way. The checkout time was confusing. I had proof from a VRBO snapshot and the tvs in the house all say 11am. We had to be out at 10am. Overall it was a great place. The house is very large. Wish it had another bathroom. So nice having the pool. The rooms were cute, lots of pillows. The bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash so that was a bonus. There was a small cooler, beach toys, and umbrella for the beach but the beach chairs were horrible. They all look like they are about to rip. My dad is older so I bought him one that he didn’t have to get so low in. There was what appeared to be a roach in the kitchen under the coffee pot. I notified the renter and she does have someone come spray for bugs. Loved how big the kitchen is and the space for seating to eat was great. The fridge was completely cleaned out so no condiments but there was oil. Lots of kitchen supplies.

Ashley's stay got off to a bit of a rough start for everyone. We actually didn't authorize an early check in as we had guests check out the morning of her arrival and it takes my cleaning team the full 5 hours to clean the house. When Ashley's group showed up early, it threw my housekeeping team off as they were finishing up cleaning and preparing the house for Ashley's stay. My housekeepers were upset because they said the guests came right into the house as they were trying to do the final mop and they were yelled at to move their car etc. etc. Definitely not the kind of start we hope for. I personally talked through things with Ashley on the phone so thought we were all good.
Due to Ashley's early check in, my housekeepers were not able to do a double check of supplies so when we found out some TP was missing, we did supply them with more TP and paper towel the first morning of their stay. We generally stock 6 rolls of TP per bathroom (so 12 total) and 3 rolls of paper towel (2 in the kitchen, 1 at the outdoor bar)
Regarding the pool and hot tub service - our amenities are very important to our guests and keeping them in optimal shape is a priority for us. We hire a professional pool company to service the pool on the same day every week and our guests are made aware of it. A member of our team services the hot tub twice a week (Mondays & Fridays) to ensure it is clean and ready for guests; again our guests are made aware of it in our listing and in check in instructions. These services are to ensure an optimal and safe experience for our guests.
Check out time is at 10 am at our house; I still don't understand how VRBO was showing it differently as we have checked all of our settings. Unfortunately on Ashley's day of check out we had new guests coming so we couldn't accommodate a late check out or it would have affected the next groups stay. Also to speak to our TV's - they are smart ROKU TVs that we have set in guest mode so that guests will automatically be logged out of their streaming accounts after they check out. The default log out time for guest mode is 11 am so an hour after a guest has checked out; the time displayed on the TV has nothing to do with our check out time. ... .it's just the default. We are sorry this was confusing for Ashley's group.
We do appreciate the heads up about our beach chairs and the bug that was found in the kitchen. We will inspect our beach chairs and we do have our house sprayed every quarter to help manage the Florida bugs.
Lastly, we love to host guests and really strive for a five star stay for each one. When that isn't achieved for whatever reasons, we re-evaluate what we can improve on and take the necessary steps. We also encourage guests to reach out if they have questions or concerns during their stay so that we can address them in real time.
