Family Vacation

Heaven on Stilts was a clean and cozy retreat. Two adults and two teen girls had space to ourselves and room to get ready. We enjoyed the beach (short walk), the pool, and the ducks and turtles that greeted us from the lagoons.

BED BUGS

BED BUGS!!!! DO NOT STAY HERE! After waking up to bed bugs biting us we all had to throw away all of our belongings we brought/bought on our trip (spending a day of what was supposed to be vacation to do so), buy all new clothing, find emergency lodging somewhere else at a higher price, not to mention the psychological distress of worrying about having bugs crawling and biting you or worrying about having them hitchhike home with you. These were ADULT bed bugs meaning they had bed bugs for at least a month before maturing to this stage. All of this and this host had the audacity to offer only a partial refund.

A Listing!

Me and my husband stayed here for our 10 year anniversary and we loved it! Very clean and smelt amazing when we arrived. Equipped with all the things you need through the week and the check-in process is seamless! Very short walk to the beach and you get the pleasure of a gorgeous view on the walk. Even made some duck friends!

Pensacola Gem

This was my first time bringing my children to Pensacola and I am so thankful I found this place. This apartment is a gem - location, cleanness, amenities in the neighborhood and great hosts. I was able to communicate and ask for advice about the location and to my surprise they immediately reached out. I plan on coming back whenever possible and I highly recommend this property.

Nice Property

We enjoyed our stay as a family of five. The beach area nearby was lovely. The home is comfortable. It was very obvious it had been closed up for a while as there was a very strong musty odor that never really aired out. Some mold and mildew on the shower grout and a throw pillow on the bed. Otherwise it was a nice stay. Could use some

Great Value

We had a great time staying in Pensacola Beach. The place had everything we needed including beach chairs. The beds were comfy and the condo was decorated nicely. Could use some fresh paint and newer towels and the overall condo entry area needs better lighting and a good cleaning. Overall great value.

Family Vacation

Was great for our group of 5. Had everything we needed and a great starting supply of a few things. Towels, chairs, and toys for the beach! Enough places to sleep. Clean and great location. Loved that the family is a military family. As we are too. Only thing that would be a negative is the couch and stools are on the smaller side if you have any tallpeople in your family.

Great beach access close to everything

Overall very clean and great beach access (less than 3 min and you don’t need to cross the street). Great setup for a family with lots of sleeping, comfortable, lots of chairs and umbrellas to take to the beach and the kitchen was easy to use and pretty well stocked. Space isn’t fancy. We went for a romantic weekend getaway but it’s a better fit for a family with kiddos. Easy 5 minutes to all the beach shops and restaurants and there’s a small complex pool that was easy to go to. Had some hiccups at check in but owner was really easy to contact and responsive.
