Great place to stay! Beautiful area and fun to walk. We walked with our dogs all around the area. The house has a great backyard area that is fenced in and the dogs loved being able to roam around it. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.

What a Wonderful house!! We loved Everything about it, it was so close to downtown that we left the car at the house and walked everywhere. Everything that we needed was supplied, I even borrowed ideas from the house to do at my own home! The backyard was perfect for the dogs!! They were thrilled to be on the trip with us and not at the vet being boarded. Cannot say enough good things about this house, it's a definite Must, will look for it again if we need to come back to Pensacola. We highly recommend this awesome house and the owners were easy to work with as well.Thank you for allowing us to share in your house, it will be in my memory as one of my favorites :-)Sheila & Rob S

The Red Door is a fantastic Vrbo. We park the car in the driveway and walk everywhere - to downtown, the waterfront, numerous local restaurants with a variety of price points, museums, etc. Besides location, the amenities are top notch. The kitchen is well-equipped, linens are plentiful, living room seating is comfortable. It’s a wonderful choice.

The Red Door was a great place to stay in Downtown Pensacola. The property manager, Gloria, was responsive, helpful, and very pleasant. The location was great and very walkable to nearby restaurants, parks, and shops. The 150 year old home has lots of charm compared to many of the newer rentals downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this home, manager, and owners.
