Wonderfully Charming Stay at The Blake

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I have truly found our perfect places, The Blake and the Jesse, for long weekends in Pensacola. The location is outstanding! A short walk to Palafox Market on Saturdays. Easy walk to catch a sunset over the Bay! Historic Pensacola right there, the Museums. Other than driving to the island for some beach days, everything else was within walking distance. These are old historic homes, we live in one and it felt right at home!

Overall this place is really nice and checks all the essential boxes. However, we messaged the host to ask about using the bikes on the property, and we never got an answer. We were pretty disappointed that the info about the bikes couldn’t have just been included to begin with…Granted this house is also very old, we were still also shocked to discover an exposed nail in the kitchen floor. It scratched both of us.
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Sept 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We should have the bike info in the house manual, I will have my assistant doable check. Thank you for letting us know about the nail, I will get ahold of maintenance asap!

For downtown Pensacola Florida it was a nice place to stay. The house was very clean the Host was easy to get in touch with and the parking around back was convenient and the window air conditioning was nice and cold! My only advice is to make sure you bring your own bottled water and your own bathing soap because there wasn’t any complementary there for us. No biggy. Yes, I would stay there again!

We do not stock water bottles, but I do apologize about the bathing soap; that we do supply. Hope to have you back!

Blake Cottage offered us exactly what we needed - a clean & affordable place to stay within walking distance of an Art Festival in Seville Square. It was a perfect spot to rest after hours of walking, and just right for two people. Having access to its own parking was a plus during this busy weekend too!

Very amazing stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Blake was an amazing place to stay! It was very easy to navigate to the house, parking was very smooth and easy with lots of options. I really appreciated that there was a binder inside explaining details, not only about the house, but about Pensacola! Checking in and checking out was a breeze and very fast and very easy which I also appreciate. If you’re looking for a house to stay in for your next vacation to Pensacola, I’d really recommend the Blake!
