Great house for families

We loved our stay at this property, great location right next to the beach and the pool was a great size! We had several small kids from 1-4 years old and they loved the front porch swing and all of the beach toys provided. The only complaint we had was the basement smelt like stale beer so we didn’t go down there much. Overall this house was perfect and upper levels were very well maintained and fit our multi family vacation. We would love to rent again!

Great for large gatherings but strict about numbers due to spring break timing - be sure to clear any planned gatherings/ parties with management. WiFi did not work well. Great games and space downstairs for teenagers/ and or families. Comfy beds and good a/c! Well stocked kitchen. Super easy walk across street to beach, and tons of chairs, umbrellas, toys, etc in basement.

Incredible Location

My family and extended family spent a wonderful week here reconnecting with one another and enjoying the quick and easy walk to the beach. The house is angled in the most perfect way so that the wide front porch never has the heat of the direct sun. We enjoyed many mornings there drinking coffee and listening to the waves hit the beach. Many of us had fun in the bonus game room and especially loved how we could be playing pool or ping-pong without disturbing anyone sleeping upstairs. While the house is not the most updated on the beach, that was less important to us than the time we had together and this place was perfect for that.

Fun house

The house is as represented on the listing. We found the living room a comfortable place to hang out and loved having the long dining table. The ping pong and other games were great to have, as we were visiting in the winter. There is beach access across the street and one can see the water across the dunes. The customer service of the management company was outstanding. We did feel the beds were softer than we would like. We were disappointed that the house didn't provide beach towels or hair dryers, but it was clear on the listing that we would have to bring our own.

Great location

This was an ideal location for our family reunion. The beach was so convenient with our several families of young children. It was an easy walk for all ages. The pool was great when it was heated and temperature outside was 70. Our first few days were lower 60 and the heater didn’t seem to do as well. Too cold for younger children when temp is low outside. It was nice to have the wagon, beach chairs and toys for the beach. Home didn’t come with enough TP, paper towels, or dishwasher tabs for a home that sleeps 25- but home was clean and beds comfortable. It was nice to have the extra refrigerators in the home for the food and cold drinks.

Great place with one small suggestion

Loved this house! Our family consisted of our 83 year old parents, our kids and grandkids (7months-7 yrs old), and my husband and me. The setup is perfect so that late night games can be played downstairs while people sleep upstairs without being disturbed by the noise. The location is perfect. The beach is amazing! The only suggestion I have is that a small amount of basic cooking seasonings, a large skillet, and extra blankets be available. We were surprised that there were absolutely no seasonings in the cabinets. The property management team was phenomenal…quick to respond to questions, and actually sent housekeeping by to bring extra blankets for my parents. Totally recommend this house!

Good not great

We stayed a week with extended family, including small kids. Overall the property is nice but not wonderful. The well-worn house makes up for the fantastic location to the beach (just a walk across the street). The property management was very quick to respond to issues. Pros: - lots of space - comfortable beds - excellent location, walk to beach - property management quick to communicate - game room is an added bonus (kind of -the pop a shot didnt work, balls were flat, no foose balls) Cons: - we killed a few cockroaches upon arrival - we had to call maintenance a couple separate times for light bulbs, toilet issues, etc. I’m not sure how often those are checked? - in the cooler months (Dec) it’s difficult for the pool to stay warm enough to swim even though we paid to heat it - the house is more worn in than pictures show, still nice but not as grand as it’s made to look

Thank you for the review. Every property we manage is under a pest contract with frequent spraying and spot spraying when required. This is a normal occurrence on Pensacola Beach to have unwanted "guests" and you will see them at times especially right after the house has been treated. We check the house between renters for common issues such as light bulbs - toilet issues are not an issue until there is some sort of failure and then we promptly respond and get the issue fixed. This house is a great, fun, affordable large beach house with an excellent location. It is not sold as a "Grand" house but as a great family beach house with tons of amenities. Future guests should read all the reviews and realize this is a great beach house with a fantastic location. Gulf Coast Getaways

There were so many broken items in the house. The plug in the bathroom downstairs did not work. The clothes dryer was not working. There was a serious ant problem in the house. The kitchen counters were covered with ants all over the counters. The basement fridge and freezer did not work. The toilet upstairs was broken. The water ran nonstop in the toilet. The light in the first bedroom on the right on the main floor would not turn on. The light upstairs in the bunkbed/open bedroom was so dim you could not even see in the room. The outlet in the first bathroom on the main floor did not work. The outdoor light near the pool by the garage door would not turn on and we could not see to swim at night. The plug in the bathroom downstairs did not work. The pool was extremely dirty when we arrived and filled with palm tree branches and dirt.

To be quite frank, these were terrible guests and were very difficult to please. The house is under professional pest control and professional pool cleaning. Every other minor item they mentioned was an easy fix/repair. The guests would resist our maintenance staff from fixing the minor issues. I highly suggest reading the other reviews. We have guests that return to this house every year for many years that absolutely love the house. Thanks, GCG

Pass on this one!

Pros: Great location. Game room was great. Good response from management company. Cons: Needs repairs on main living floor. MANY broken and loose tiles. Some with holes in the middle of the tiles. Dangerous for bare feet. Upstairs shower leaking through the air vent in downstairs bedroom. Not just a drip but water pouring from the vent. Bucket and towels all over the bedroom floor. Couldn’t use the shower after that. This bathroom was really in very poor condition. We decided not using the shower was better for us than having plumbers working while we were there. Peeling and missing wallpaper, sink didn’t drain, shower door came off. My husband fixed the shower door temporarily. Problem with ants all over kitchen. Garage door going out to pool broken. Pool was so cloudy on the second day that no one wanted to get in it. Overall this house needs some major repairs. Cleaning company could do a better job. The property management company did respond quickly to our concerns. Yes we could have had a cleaning crew come but that would have been disruptive to our stay. Should have been done right to begin with. Renting a property to accommodate our family of 18 doesn’t come cheap. We expected much more for our money.

A very, very difficult guest. We did have a legitimate issue with a shower and a leak, this happens, and we have people available to fix it. The guest would not let us repair. The guest would complain about small items and not let us do our job to investigate and repair. Pools also can get dirty during a stay due to severe weather and blowing debris - this happens frequently, so we call our pool cleaner and get it cleaned. This is standard operating procedure. Again, we were not given access to fix the minor problems and the guest was very difficult to work with. Our next 2 guests loved the house, both are returning guests and their comments were "It was great" Guests that leave a one star review are really not to be taken seriously, this is not an accurate or productive review.

Great location, but not well maintained

The multiple wasp nests were a hazard leading to some nasty stings on one of our family. Various small items and some facilities, needed repair or replacement. For example the boogie boards were cracked and unusable, an awning for the pool was completely broken, multiple lawn/patio chairs are broken, a couch had a hole in its backing, the foosball table has no foosball, several floor tiles are badly cracked, and the front steps/deck are overdue for sanding and repainting. There are other items which the other guests would comment about, but I'm not going to solicit those comments. The management company clearly states that they can't/won't address anything other than emergency items on a weekend, which is of course when almost everyone arrives. They were prompt and their folks were helpful during the week, BUT when its a vacation for over $1000 a day I personally think this is unacceptable. I wonder if other guests have used this property and simply accepted it "as-is", but like I said, "at over $1000 a day I personally think this is unacceptable." Also some of the items are obviously long-standing, which leads one to surmise that the owners are interesting in making money with little regard to the reputation of the property. There are nicer, better maintained properties in P'cola Beach and we'll look for those next year.

Mediocre for price

Let’s start with the pros: - Location is amazing. Very short walk to beach. Close to everything. - extremely spacious house with lots of things to do like a game room and pool. - nice decor and furniture, comfy beds - lots of bunk beds for kids - lots of beach toys for kids and lots of bikes Cons: - no hot tub even though at time of booking it was listed as amenity and no one told us it was not going to be there. No discount offered. - cleanliness was subpar. Housekeeping left hair from drain on floor next to shower in error, first thing noticed when first person used bathroom. Gross af. - went to get a cup out of cupboard, for some reason there was a bunch of rice in the cupboard under the cup. Uncooked rice. Very odd. Reported it and they offered to send housekeeping out the next day but that seemed unnecessary so we declined. - pool was dirty because skimmers were not functioning due to lack of proper maintenance (checking on water levels) Dipnet is full of holes. Had to attempt to dipnet before every swims. Waiting on pool maintenance meant waiting 4 hours (not exaggerating). Pool needs tlc in general, old and cracked - game room is musty and needs attention - loft level bedroom to the right smells awful and like must - general wear and tear is not in line with the photos on the listing. If I’d known, I would not have booked for the price. - any email communication with the management is sorely lacking- only communicate via text if possible Will not book property again, but hope they use this feedback to improve as it is a great location and house.

Please concentrate on the positives of this review, the negatives have several items that is just not correct. We are well known for having the best communication with our guests, we have a dispatch system with text, we have a maintenance phone number, and we have an email for maintenance items. Whenever a guest feels cleaning has done a subpar job we have an agreement with the cleaning company that they will go back out at no additional costs to the guests and correct any items that were not properly addressed initially. When there are maintenance items, we send out maintenance as promptly as possible to fix or replace what needs to be fixed. Pools are very difficult to maintain on the beach, but we go the extra step and have a pool equipment person on contract to take care of items when they break - if they needed a simple pool skimmer we just buy a new one and bring it out. The pool is one of the largest and best pools on Pensacola Beach and is not in need of repair, in fact we purchased and installed a brand new pool heater less than a year ago. This guests must have had something else going on during their vacation week to leave such hurtful comments on this public forum - some the comments we have never, ever heard before - please read the other excellent reviews.

50th anniversary trip

We stayed here with a large family group to celebrate our parent’s 50th anniversary. We really enjoyed the layout with the large open layout family room, kitchen and dining table. Beds were comfortable except for a very squeaky bed in the small room in the loft without a window. We made great use of the pool, porch, grill, basement game room (although foosball table in poor condition) and the beach toys/chairs/wagon. Location was perfect! There were maintenance issues with the pool but management was responsive and corrected this by Monday morning. Overall we greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Segunda.
