Great spot, disappointing property

Great spot along Pensacola Beach but unfortunately our family reunion had a dark spot. This property is NOT what is portrayed in the listing's description or pictures. There was NO table with chairs on the back patio, there was NO picnic table, there was NO hammock. The backyard was so overgrown it was virtually unusable, the rooftop deck was in terrible and unsafe condition, there was garbage lying on the front yard up against the house. The interior was filthy with disgusting stains on the inside of the entry door, on many of the kitchen cabinets and the furniture was stained dark with wear that had to accumulate over years of use. To VRBO's credit they forced the owner to refund our money (minus VRBO fees etc.). BEWARE

House needs work

The house was just ok. The location was great! But, there were a few issues with the house. The landscaping needs a major makeover, long weeds everywhere, unable to use volleyball net in the back yard. The upstairs deck has boards missing. The chimney leaks when it rains causing big puddles of water on the living room floor. The pull out sofa bed had cheetos and looked filthy! The pics posted online must be very old, the ocean view is now almost completely blocked by other beach houses now. Photos show nice colorful beach chairs in the yard but they werent there when we were there. If you can get passed all that you will enjoy your stay. Overall we enjoyed it.

Family beach vacation 2023

There was 11 of us ages 4 to 60. Everyone had a great time there was even room for everyone to sit down at the same time. The house was really close to the beach and had everything we needed. It was an older house and didn’t have all the steps to get into it a big plus for me. Very clean and nice. A very short drive to restaurants. Plus the beach was not crowded

About the host

Hosted by Stephany Smith

Stone Crab Cottage is more than a vacation rental as it is our vacation home! We want families to build memories during their trips to Pensacola Beach and Stone Crab Cottage. This is why our commitment matches that which we want our own vacation experience to be and our goal is to make Stone Crab Cottage THE vacation spot. We are always a text or phone call away.

Why they chose this property

Stone Crab Cottage is the perfect mix of Beach Life and quiet neighborhood that is simply hard to find along the Gulf of Mexico and it's amazing beaches. No busy hotel or hi-rise condo traffic along this stretch of beach. And Stone Crab Cottage is just steps away from two public easements allowing easy access directly to the beach.

What makes this property unique

We own two properties on Pensacola Beach, but we love that this home is directly across the street from the Gulf of Mexico with two beach access points just steps away. The house itself has the unique charm of the original beach properties, sitting at ground level, making unloading the car a breeze. The very spacious fenced in backyard with volleyball court, hammock, a patio for cookouts and an upper deck to view the ocean provides the perfect combination for any beach escape. No stairs to separate your group so no matter your age group or which aspect of the property currently peaks your interest, everyone feels included.
