Great property and management.
Good location convenient to Pensacola, Pensacola Beach and Navarre. Pool and hot tub were great, on a rain day and evenings. The dock made us wish we brought the boat.
Property manager and staff were helpful and great. House was well laid out and full of extras.
We'll be staying here on trips in the future.

Family Vacation 2023
This home was a perfect fit for our family. We had 4 families with 8 adults and 3 kids. We fixed all of our meals at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was great having a pool right out the backdoor. It is a very short drive to some great beaches. Donna was very quick to respond to any and all questions.

This house was perfect for our annual beach family vacation. It had everything we needed for a beach vacay and more!! The outdoor shower, pool, hot tub, and canal left us with more then enough to do. Donna was spot on with her communication and was available to answer any questions that we had. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog and the location is only 10 min away from the beach. The entire house is new, beautiful, and clean!! Loves everything about this house!!

Relaxing, beautiful, and good location.
Highly recommend for multi-family with two levels of living space. Dog friendly and a boater’s dream. We had a much-needed family vacation with family flying and driving from all over the east coast. Easy access to water sports, fishing, beach, and swimming locations. Caught crabs off dock and plenty of bait for fishing in deeper water. Enjoyed hikes, walks and nearby tennis.
