About this property

Our sentimental family home is filled with the warmth and charm of loving parents over 40 years. Our family uses it when not rented and intends to keep the existing décor to preserve many wonderful memories that we have enjoyed over the years. It is in the Scenic Heights area of Northeast Pensacola.

The Master bedroom includes a deep mattress queen bed, Large TV, walk in closet and the Master bathroom has a 6’ shower. The second bedroom has a deep mattress double bed with TV and mirrored closets. The third bedroom has two deep mattress twin beds and a large TV. There is a full bathroom across from the Twin bedroom. The spacious family room includes a 70” TV, Cherry wood dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. The laundry is equipped with full size washer and dryer and stocked with cleaning supplies. The driveway is extra wide for multiple cars with a single car garage.

The spacious Florida room overlooks the large saltwater pool (generally preferred over chlorine pools) and tropical courtyard, all enclosed with a privacy fence. The beautiful pool is a lazy L shape, well maintained and larger than most since it was built in the 70's. The pool is for private use of guest during their stay. The pool is maintained generally twice a week.

Extra amenities included a grill with charcoal provided, beach and pool towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella. Evenings in the courtyard have a serene ambiance created by the Corinthian Bell Wind chimes, surrounding fence lights, two fountains and pool light.

A neighborhood park for the children is a walk around the block. Pensacola Int’l Airport and Cordova Mall are 6 minutes away with grocery stores also as close. Pensacola Beach is a 20-25 minute scenic drive along Escambia bay. Downtown is an energetic place, only 15 minutes away where you will find the famous Seville Square, Saenger Theater and many shops and restaurants gathering close to the Bay. To help you with more local interest, we have created a book that includes details of other places to enjoy during your stay with us. We look forward to having you in our home and helping to make your Pensacola experience wonderful.

A piece of paradise

We came to Pensacola for an adoption, and this was the perfect place to come too. So convenient to both the airport and the hospital. But more than that, they made us feel so welcome and at home. The backyard is beautiful and we had many relaxing meals out in the screened porch. Thank you so much for opening your home to us! We would 100% stay again!!

House will not cool, and we feel owners were not truthfull.

Two of us slept in the house while caring for 2 visiting grandbabies daily. The kids had owners’ approval to use the pool. I’d post all of the texts to illustrate problems with the stay, but VRBO forbids it. The house isn’t as advertised, and we had to file a police report while there. The owners informed us they retain digital/online copies of all tenants’ drivers’ licenses (DLs) for background checks. We had a fraudulent debit card charge the day after sending them our DL. We therefore formally request in this complaint that the owners destroy all copies (Paper/Digital) of personal information, and assure no records are held by anyone they have forwarded info to. The owners had a Wi-Fi thermostat & knew the HVAC wasn't working before our arrival but didn't contact us. After 4 days of high temps and an intense exchange with the owner; we vacated the property (from days 5-7) while a complete inside & outside HVAC system was replaced. Our refund request for remaining days was refused so we returned on day 8 (prior to work completion); when some prescription drugs disappeared: hence a police report. The house smelled of plug-in-air-fresheners & mold. None of the kitchen appliances functioned properly. Paint was peeling throughout. Wi-Fi and TV reception failed daily. You’re under Constant surveillance (cameras & listening). Daily network failures drove frantic requests to check out the premises. We feel owners were never completely truthful. Owners also don't live here.

Nice stay- but unusual

This property is very clean and nice. It is exactly as explained. The pictures are accurate. It’s well stocked with nice towels and kitchen supplies. The family who owns this home clearly have fond memories here. It has not been updated- which was fine with us- but know it is a grandparents home. I attempted to type more, but there are limited characters in the review- so I guess the most unusual: The owner, very nice, but will want to meet you- as in -made plans to meet us the day after our arrival to explain house rules and meet our family. She made it clear she only rents to families now after bad experiences- stating she does not rent to “construction workers” or “a couple of 30 year old girls” concerned about people having parties. She also explained how to use the leaf blower so we could blow off the patio each morning to keep the pool clean. It did not really upset me-but unusual to be asked to do yard work? Especially when they have a guy come and clean the pool and a robo cleaner. A meeting to confirm we could read and understand the house rules- in all of the renting we have done- this was a first. She even mentioned having looked at a guest’s trash to confirm it was “party trash” with cups etc. Not bad- just unusual. It’s bugged my husband more than me. (We have never had less then 5 star review as guests) Again- a review should be helpful and honest. It was a sweet place/not a bad stay- just different

Yearly Florida trip

Repeat rental, great place to stay away from the beach with a great pool. Rain almost every day so didn’t get to much pool and beach time this year but nobody can predict the weather.

About the host

Hosted by Angela B Grace

I am Angela Bills Grace Mortimer. My husband, Danny, and I own and care for our family home left to me by my loving parents in 2018. My family moved to this home from across town in 1967, when I was in 3rd grade. I attended Scenic Heights Elementary, a school still in the neighborhood. Danny and I dated 2 1/2 years in high school and spent a lot of time around this same pool many years ago. Now, our family uses this home for holidays and summer swimming and when we feel like chilling at Memaw and Papaw's. So, one can tell that this is a very special home to us. I am a Piano Teacher of 30 + years. We live within 2 miles of this home and can be reached via text any time.

Why they chose this property

We are interested in keeping this home in our family and to help with the maintenance and upkeep, we decided to allow other families to enjoy it as well.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits to our home is that first it is very clean and comfortable, just as our mother always had it. The pool is saltwater verses chlorine, which feels wonderful and is much better for your skin and hair. The backyard includes a relaxing courtyard with the wonderful sounds of a fountain and Corinthian chimes. There are also lights along the fence so families can enjoy the evenings around the pool. Our home is very convenient to the Airport and Cordova Mall, Walmart and Publix . Pensacola Beach is an easy and beautiful ride along Scenic Hwy within 25 minutes or so.
