About this property

The Kitchen | Historic East Hill Studio Near Downtown Pensacola

Part of the historic Gadsden Hideaway, this thoughtfully renovated studio offers accommodation for
up to two guests while preserving a unique piece of Pensacola history. In the early 1900s, kitchens
were sometimes separated from the primary living areas of homes because of heat and fire concerns.
This portion of the historic property once served as the home's kitchen and has since been
transformed into a private studio now known as The Kitchen.

Built in 1918, the property also features original Pensacola-made bricks dating to the 1800s,
connecting your stay to more than a century of local history. Today, blending historic character with
the modern conveniences needed for a comfortable Pensacola getaway.

towels, along with access to laundry facilities. Despite its historic name, The Kitchen does NOT
have a full kitchen it includes a Mini refrigerator, Microwave, Coffee maker. There is no full-size
refrigerator, stove, oven or traditional kitchen inside the studio. With no full kitchen, you'll have the

The Kitchen is conveniently located near neighborhood favorites such as Maria's Fresh Seafood
Market and Olde East Hill Grill, with many more restaurants, coffee shops, breweries and bars just
minutes away in Downtown Pensacola.

arts and cultural activities throughout the year.

A very nice, comfortable room that served my purposes well. If I had any complaints it would be that the WiFi didn't work so well but other than that I was quite satisfied.

Cozy place, great location!

Cozy spot, just as described by host. Very clean and bright inside. Parking area was off-street and private. Centrally located in the city. Would absolutely recommend for single traveler or a couple coming to visit the city. Host was very helpful…even though the issue was my fault!

The B&B was cute. Perfect for 2 people coming and going. We had a blast and enjoyed ourselves. They was very inviting. Only downfall, which is not on the B&B people is, its very noisy, and was hard to sleep. There is a fish market in the parking lot and they have deliveries early morning. And they pick the trash up about 5am. Only thing I can recommend is ear plugs for when you sleep. The bathroom door doesnt latch and the towels could be more absorbent due to the humidity down there. Otherwise it was great! Thanks!

This was perfect for me and my 10 year old. We needed a place to stay and nothing extravagant since we would not be using it during the day. It had the basic amenities, was clean and the AC worked good. The noise from the fish market did not bother us since we had a white noise machine. The area is one that is a mix of older homes, homes that have been renovated and there were some new ones being built. We never felt uncomfortable especially since the place has a fenced in courtyard that made it easy to park and get to the room. The location was pretty easy for us to navigate since it was close to downtown and an easy route to the beach. The restaurant suggestions from the host were excellent…you must eat at Maria’s Olde East Hill Grill. It was so good, probably the freshest fried shrimp PO boy I’ve ever eaten. You can’t miss it. It was literally in front of our room.I had a small issue of finding the place even though the directions were explicit on how to get there. That’s where the 10 year old came in lol.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a perfect little B&B for a girls trip with a friend and I! We just needed a place to crash after long days at the beach. Located just a short drive from the beaches and restaurants, it was just what we were looking for. Location felt very private, laundry was a plus. Important to note, the Kitchen does NOT have a kitchen lol, just an oversight on my side of things but we had to get creative with the meals we had planned. There was a mini fridge and a microwave. I had to circle the block to find the B&B the first time as the GPS had no clue where it was located. Cindy included detailed instructions in the check in email that helped us find it no problem. Would recommend!
