About this property

Downtown retreat by the Bay, Bruce Beach, Blue Angels, parades & fish market!

Welcome to Nauti-Cola, a stunning home in the heart of downtown Pensacola, perfectly situated across from Pensacola Bay and Bruce Beach. Just a 10-minute stroll away you’ll find incredible restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and Wahoo’s Stadium. From the balcony, enjoy peekaboo views of the bay, spot dolphins and birds, and even catch the Blue Angels practicing overhead. We are just 5 minutes from Pensacola Yacht Club and 15 minutes from Pensacola Beach! Pensacola does parades like nowhere else and you can watch the floats drive by and cheer them on as they “pre-party” before lining up hours before each parade! It is a blast!

The well-appointed kitchen is perfect for preparing fresh seafood from Joe Patti’s, only a 5-minute walk away, or mixing cocktails to enjoy while watching the post-game fireworks from the balcony. Relax in the sun on the balcony or unwind in the backyard, surrounded by a nautical-themed interior that’s both stylish and functional.

With three spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, Nauti-Cola is the ideal getaway for extended stays. And when you’re ready to hit the sand, Pensacola Beach is just a 15-minute drive away. This is coastal living at its finest!

Great location! My son and I ran the Pensacola Half Marathon that started at Wahoo Stadium, just a few blocks away. It’s also an easy walk to Palafox Street. We made a long weekend out of it and had a great time. The house was clean and cute.

Overall this place was a wonderful stay! The description of the property was accurate- it was very clean. There’s a small access to a small beach across the street but the drive to Pensacola beach was about 20 minutes. A quick walk to many restaurants and things to do!

Excellent overall. Having 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was very convenient for our group of 5. The host was very quick to reply to questions. Main Street is a busy street but noise was not too bad. We sat on the porch and watched the people go by!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Wendling

Host profile image
Originally from Colorado, we LOVE to travel and decided to sell everything and buy an RV and tour the country. We weren't looking for anything in particular, just a new adventure. So we pulled up our roots and headed out to explore and possibly find a new home base.

The trip took about 2 years and was filled with many fun adventures! When we stayed near Pensacola we fell in love with the area! The restaurants are amazing, the people are kind, the community supports local businesses and artists and there is always a festival or event to go to! Then we saw the beach and we knew we had found our piece of paradise!

Now that we have a couple STRs and our home here, we have discovered that we truly enjoy creating experiences for guests here in Pensacola that are unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

This area is walk-able to all the great things Pensacola has to offer. It's right downtown and has views of the bay! You can see the post game fireworks, hear concerts and relax on the balcony looking at the bay. There is a new park and beach area across the street with beach chairs and a kayak launch area too!
It's right across the street from Joe Pattie's fresh seafood market, so you can grab the fresh catch of the day and cook it up in your kitchen.

What makes this property unique

Nauti-Cola is one of the closest rentals to the bay and downtown. It is brand new and has fun nautical accents throughout. Each room has its own full bathroom and the kitchen is large enough for everyone to hang out. The balcony has peak-a-boo views of the bay and of downtown. On parade days, the floats drive right in front of the home and it’s fun to sit on the balcony and cheer them on! We also have great views of the Blue Angels practicing every Tuesday and Wednesday morning April-early November and post game fireworks!
