Other Things to Note:
You’re staying in one of the most beautiful and beloved houses in all of Pensacola. Why "beloved,"? This house was our mother Jan’s pride and joy. She fell in love with Pensacola while helping one of her sons settle here for flight school and soon Pensacola became home. An avid lover of all things beachy, tropical, and outdoors, she transformed this house into her true "Oasis."

Tragically, Jan, the cornerstone of our family, bravely fought cancer until passing in early 2025. By the pool and scattered throughout the property, you’ll notice a myriad of small, hand-painted rocks. This hobby, which began when her children were toddlers, was a way to memorialize joyful vacations and trips. Whether from near or far, she brought home a rock or two to paint with her children and, later, her granddaughter, creating small tokens of their cherished memories.

To honor her memory, please feel free to take a blank rock from the poolside and use the provided supplies to create your own keepsake to leave here. Any design, quote, or location of where you're from will add to the "Oasis" legacy. This home will remain a vacation haven for her children, grandchildren, friends, family, and cherished guests such as yourselves. Seeing new rocks added with each visit will bring us as much joy as it would Jan, smiling from above.
Thank you and enjoy your stay at Jan's Oasis, a home away from home ❤️
