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!

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!

The house was quaint and perfect for our retreat away without the kids. It was walkable to everything and very safe feeling. We enjoyed watching the 5k run past the front porch. We walked everywhere from the house. Air conditioning was cool. Only tricky part was letting in natural light without being entirely open to the front street. May be nice to have a sheer curtain instead of roll up shades. We walked to a welcoming brewery Pensacola Bay Brewery, dinner at Hub Stacey’s with incredibly fast service and great food. Breakfast at Fosko’s. Cooled off on quirky couches at Odd Colony. Walked to Palafox Pier and toured the free Pensacola Archeology museum. Loved this quaint cottage and would come 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!
