We had a micro wedding. During our stay, the AC went out. They sent out a tech who said nothing was wrong. Our guests who traveled hours had to leave early due to the heat of the home. We reached back out the next day and a tech came out to say that the previous one turned the dehumidifier on that was pushing hot air into the home. The home was 89 degrees. The place had a beautiful location. When we arrived there was

Fantastic location!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic location!!! Layout of house was also excellent. The kitchen was very well stocked with equipment, but we were disappointed in the absence of basic supplies that every other property we've ever stayed in has (plenty of TP, paper towel, dishwasher detergent, etc... and would have appreciated at least a few things in the kitchen pantry such as salt/pepper, olive oil, etc). Also would have been great to have had at least a few beach towels supplied, as this was a right-on-the-beach property. Maintenance of the house could be stepped up a notch as well. Without regard, we had a wonderful stay and a great time, and there was plenty of parking, which doesn't always happen at beach properties!

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. We’re glad you found the location and layout of the home comfortable and that you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate your feedback as well. We are sorry the starter supplies did not meet your expectations. To ensure guests know exactly what is provided and what they may want to bring, we send this information before arrival. An email detailing these items was sent to you on September 15th at 8:01 a.m. It sounds as though those communications may have landed in a spam folder or simply been overlooked, which is unfortunate since their purpose is specifically to prevent the inconvenience you described. As is standard with vacation rentals, the items provided are an initial starter supply and are not intended to last throughout an entire stay. Guests staying more than just a couple of days should expect to purchase additional quantities based on their needs. We also intentionally do not leave consumable food products such as cooking oil, salt, pepper, or other items. For the health and safety of our guests, we cannot verify how these products were handled, stored, used, or whether they were altered after opening. For that reason, food and consumable kitchen products are removed between guests rather than passed along from one reservation to the next. We work very hard to be transparent about what guests can expect before they arrive, and we’re fortunate to welcome a large number of repeat guests who return to stay with us year after year. We are so glad to hear that you did enjoy your stay though and we hope to welcome you back again next year.

The upstairs king bed is VERY hard and to get upstairs is a spiral staircase, not great for older people. We loved the bottom, garage area for all our beach gear!

House had issues with Palmetto bugs. Did not like the idea that the property was a path for strangers to cut through in order to go to the beach. I will say that the location was convenient to all restaurants in the area.

Great home right on the beach! The kitchen is very well stocked. The wet bar area was convenient as well with an ice maker.The balcony is spacious and such a great place to unwind after a day on the beach.There is an extra refrigerator in the garage which was super helpful!Unfortunately there was construction on the beach in Pensacola which could not be helped but we were offered transportation to the public access if we needed.I would absolutely stay here again!Thank you!

Fantastic Vacation Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Never have I wanted to buy a vacation home more! This house was wonderful for a large group with a couple of kids. The location is incredible, I worried it was close enough to hotels that the beach would be crowded but it was not. The patio was fantastic in the evening. 6 rooms in total, and some additional sleeping spaces (foldout couch etc)— with 3 rooms on lower/upper floors meant kids could sleep without being disturbed by household activities. Several staircases plus covered patio space and outdoor hose/showerhead made it so easy to go to and from the beach. Everything ran well, no maintenance issues. Easy to get to town. FYI there are a half dozen beach chairs, kids beach toys and even a couple boogie boards— we rented a beach umbrella. No beach towels, we knew to bring our own. The one downside is the pantry is truly unstocked— seems they toss out even salt and pepper, it was needlessly inconvenient (and presumably wasteful) to buy things like basic seasoning and cooking oil. I don’t mind that Paradise Beach homes gives only a few days’ supplies of toilet paper, soap, etc— but the bare pantry necessitated a late-night grocery run just for basic cooking supplies. The kitchen is adequately stocked regarding dishware and cookware. Check-in and checkout processes are clear and straightforward and you don’t have to clean the whole house (which always feels like my experienve for AirBnB). We had a booking snafu and the Paradise Beach home staff were really responsive. Would love to come back!
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Sept, 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled that the home was such a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed the amazing location and easy beach access. This home has become a guest favorite and we can certainly see why. We do appreciate your feedback regarding the pantry and we apologize for any inconvienience this may have caused. For the health and safety of our guests, we don’t leave food items such as seasonings or cooking oils between stays, as we have no way of knowing whether previously opened items have been altered or contaminated. While we understand the convenience of having those basics on hand, we simply don’t want to take that chance with our guests. We’re so glad you had such a wonderful vacation and would love to welcome you back again very soon! Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us. We really appreciate the business!
