Great location, super place!

Well-located and spotlessly clean, this was one of our favorite VRBOs ever. I'm originally from Pensacola, so very much appreciated how Old East Hill has come so far. This house is walkable to anything in town you might want to do, short drive to baseball stadium, and easy drive to beach. Everything we needed was there - will stay here again!

Hidden Gem

Our three-night stay was comfortable, quiet, and worry free! Beautiful, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. Short distance to historic downtown, to NAS Pensacola, and four minutes to the famous McGuires Pub and steak house. Truly enjoyed our stay.

Our third stay here and once again we are so grateful - This place really is a dream! Perfectly located in a lovely neighborhood with kind and friendly neighbors. A short drive to the beach but several great restaurants are close by the house. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and responsive. This home always feels like a true home away from home. Can’t wait to come back for stay number four!
