Cozy lovely home for our stay. Plenty of room for our family, both children and grandparents, and the home is well stocked with everything a family might need. We enjoyed the spacious deck, the beautiful scenery of the water and the friendly ducks that wandered through. Great stay! Thank you!

Peace & space within east reach

Spacious living and outdoor activities convenient to all the things. We very much enjoyed our stay, with lots of room inside and out. Canoed and fished in the lake, amused ourselves watching the ducks and their ducklings swim, waddle around, and preen at waters edge. Everything we could have needed available at our fingertips. Guest manager was very responsive. Would stay again.

Spring Break Vacation

The house is just as described. Clean and stocked with everything you would need and more. The pond was a plus. We love to fish and the great outdoors. The yard was fenced in so the kids could play. There was canoes and kayaks to enjoy. We had a wonderful time and will definetly stay here again. It was close to everything we needed including the beach and casino.

Beautiful!

Easy to get to. Everything you could need locally. The house decor was so pretty. Loved the pond and fenced in yard for the dogs. Only negative was the yard looked neglected. Grass was really tall. Lots of weeds that needed taken care of but didn't hinder our time at all. Wish we'd had time to fish and enjoy the pond more. Hoping to go back one day.

Response from owner: "Glad you enjoyed your Stay. sorry about the lawn height. As we discussed, it had rained for the 2 weeks prior to your arrival and the first few days you were there. We do have a lawncare service and they made a special effort to get the lawn mowed as soon as the rain stopped."

Amazing get away

The property was perfect for our needs. Fit 6 people and a dog comfortably. Taking the kayaks and canoes on the lake, fire pit at night, good size fenced in yard so the dog could run and play, etc. when it says secluded it means you’re about 30 min away from any good places to eat, shop, etc. You do have neighbors but hardly saw or heard them. If you need Wi-Fi then I recommend bringing a hot spot, the internet there was mostly non existent and used cellular all week. Hopefully the owner fixes the second bathroom door soon. It wouldn’t stay closed unless you places something heavy against it while using. Plenty of fridge and freezer space, there’s two fridges. We would stay there again.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 Jul 2023
From the owner: "Thanks for your feedback! -We have added a WiFi extender to cover more area outside. The internet service is 500MB and it is extremely fast -The airport and malls are 15 miles away and almost everything is within 15 miles of the home. The closest beach is 12 miles away and Orange Beach along with Pensacola Beach is less than 30 miles out -The bathroom door was fixed, thanks for letting us know there was an issue Thanks again, we hope to host you again soon!"

Nice get away

House was very nice, lots of room for all 6 of us. Each pair had their own room but four had to share a bathroom. The master bedroom was good size with a nose size bathroom. Seemed to be a tv in every room even master bath. Internet was non existent. Everyone just used cellular data. (Kids 21+) really enjoyed the lake daily. Very pet friendly, huge fenced in yard and doggie door if needed. The master bed was so comfortable I wanted to bring it home. It’s not as “secluded” as we were thinking, you do have neighbors but hardly saw or heard them. The main issue was the bathroom door that the family had to share. Would close or lock so we had to use a heavy object to keep closed. Easy fix but was an issue the whole time we were there. All in all we had a good time and would stay there again

Very comfortable and quite peaceful and our grandson loved fishing and all the ducks.

Very comfortable and quite peaceful and our grandson loved fishing and all the ducks. Our only complaint was the grass was very tall for over half our week and was quite yucky but the lawn care person finally came and it was nice. Fishing gear was a broken mess so we went and bought rods and reels and stuff needed to fish--so do bring your own. Canoes and Kayaks are great and they enjoyed those a lot. House is quite nice and had most everything one would need. And beds are very comfortable and showers are good and has great hot water. Close to alot of things we wanted. Favorite place to eat in Pensacola is McGuires Irish Resturant! Shepherds Pie is Fantastic and very large portions and drinks are great and service was delightful! House owner Mike is so helpful and nice and the neighborhood is nice and quiet too.

Best Kept Secret and 30mins from Pensacola Beach

We had the best time during our stay! Mike was very prompt at responding and very easy to work with. The kids had a blast as well. The kids brought their video game, the place is wifi ready, there was a charger box/station in every room which was another huge plus for us. There are fishing poles for the pond in the back yard, there are 2 kayaks to choose from and 1 paddleboard which was a HUGE HIT for us and something we had never done before. Plenty of yard space, outdoor shower to rinse off after coming from the pond, firepit, all kinds of board games, nice and quiet neighborhood, and not far from everything you need. This place was literally a ONE STOP SHOP!!

Great place and peaceful stay

The property was as advertised, the owner put alot of thought into things to do. Kayaks, paddle board, fishing gear, games, horseshoes, grill, all you need for cooking. The house was clean and was in a safe area. Great food nearby. Would recommend Sonny's BBQ and Hurricane Pizza both nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Experienced as Promised

We had an overall great experience at the property. Everything was as promised, no surprises at least that were not pleasant ones! Two couples and two little dogs in town for a wedding had plenty to do onsite. The entire property is fenced which was great for our dogs to play. We fished before the morning heat and sat on the deck of an evening. It was a very easy 20 minute drive to the beach. We will keep this property on our Stay Again list!
