Property was very clean upon arrival and had everything we needed as a family of 6 with young kids and two dogs. Great proximity to the grocery store and beaches, as well as restaurants. Host was very responsive and friendly. We look forward to planning additional trips here with family members who want to rent out the tiny home in the backyard. The backyard was very nice and fully enclosed for guests who want to bring their dogs. We felt safe the entire time and had no issues with outside noise. Highly recommend!

Good value for large, pet-friendly family

Beautifully renovated home. I loved that we could bring our pets and the fenced-in backyard was perfect. Parking more than two cars without blocking the home in the back was one challenge. The location is great proximity to downtown and the beach but the neighborhood seemed a bit sketchy - be careful at night. Overall would stay again.

Eastside Sunshine Escape

I genuinely enjoyed my stay at this property. The homeowner was kind, attentive, and quick to handle any request. The home is well taken care of and decorated. There are touches that make it feel like you live there. I really enjoyed the back yard, grill, and hammock. I am ver grateful that the host was gracious enough to even leave beach chairs since the location is only 10 minutes from the most beautiful beach in the gulf coast. East King’s Corner is walking distance, and they’re serving up the most delicious food. There are so many great local businesses nearby. Book & enjoy the neighborhood!

Amazing Pensacola Home

This home was beautiful! The host had so many little touches that made it even better! Extra plug in places and chargers were one of them. Extra towels, and blankets. Even a beach canopy to use. Cooking essentials in the kitchen including coffee and tea. Home is laid out very open and nice. My older kids loved the hammock in the back yard they used it every night to relax in. Host answered any questions we had quickly. The beach was only a 15-20 min drive. Plenty of parks and restaurants nearby as well. We absolutely loved our time here!

Amazing stay with few problems

All 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this host’s cottage home. The house was very clean but there were some pest problems. We saw about three rats in the back yard and a good bit of roaches, but hey we live in florida so there’s not much you can do about the roaches. Other than that the amenities and host was awesome. We felt that the host had a good setup for the kitchen supplies, maybe just add some tinfoil lol. The signs throughout the house about the check-out process and spots that pensacola had to offer around us were extremely helpful. The only reasons for a 4/5 on the location of the house is because the house is on a corner of a busy one way street that makes parking a little scary. Overall we give this stay a 9/10, and thank you so much for having us!! Everything about this place was beautiful.
