Great little ‘hideaway’

Spent a wonderful week, very spacious for my husband and I. We lacked for nothing- full kitchen, large bedroom and living space. We loved the design and decor- great parking and close to everything and anything. Would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend. If Pensacola is your vacation destination…grab this one
