Nice Location, but downstairs needs a good cleaning

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent location. Older home and which needs to be updated. Very nice having two master bedrooms. Not easy finding electrical outlets in bed rooms. A few extension cords with charging docs would be a nice addition. Couch and carpet in living room was filthy but bedroom linens were clean.

Great House!!

This house is definitely undersold with the description here. Outdoor grilling/seating area is very nice. Outdoor shower was so nice as well. Great house that is super close to the beach.

LOVED this place!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I'm from Pensacola and bring my kids back every summer. This was the first time we stayed at this property and I hope it's not the last! It was great! Plenty of room for the 9 of us and our little dog. The fenced backyard was great us to hang out and made it easy for the dog. It's super convenient to walk to the beach just steps away. My absolute favorite part of the house was the outdoor shower! I didn't take one shower inside...not the entire stay!
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Aug 2025
We love hearing this! As a local returning with your family each summer, it means a lot that this property hit the mark for you. It sounds like the fenced backyard, close beach access, and that unbeatable outdoor shower made your stay truly special. Nine people and a pup is no small group, so we’re glad the home gave you all the space and comfort you needed. We’d be thrilled to have you back next summer or even sooner! Paradise Beach Homes

Gas grill, egg smoker, multiple outside areas to hang out. The large table outside the dining room. The fire pit outside the main bedroom, the balcony off the large upstairs room. Walk across the street to the beach.If your reading this please don't rent it I'd like it to be available just for me. 🤣🤣🤣 Enjoy your stay we loved it.

Relaxation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Took me awhile to decide on this rental but it was worth it. Great location. Plenty of room. Fenced yard was a little small but wonderful. People in house behind very close but not bad. House was beautiful. The company and place you pick up keys was also very close. No problems while staying. The only bad thing I would say is the room we decided to sleep in was down stairs and had I think the air condition unit in it. It is very loud but not a big issue.

Family time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was fantastic for our family getaway. Prime location literally 20 steps to beach access. Quiet here on the beach too. The home is completely outfitted to feel like a home away and an oasis amongst all the tall mega houses. Easily sleeps 8 in beds. Downstairs main bed and bath are a bonus for those not wanting to navigate any stairs. Kitchen is well appointed and has all the kitchen tools/gadgets you would have in your own home. The most beautiful area is the backyard-outdoor dining for eight, green egg, separate grill, shaded swing, outdoor shower with warm water, side shaded patio with loungers and fire pit. Plenty of beach chairs and a wagon too. Easy access to walkable dining. Truly a beautiful find on a beautiful beach.

Not so friendly, dog friendly.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this property for Pensacola Beach Brawl. The location is perfect as we were able to ride our bikes to and from the property to our venue destination. The reason I chose the property was due to the dog friendly home with a fenced in yard. Upon further review of the rules there was a $300 PER DOG non-refundable fee!!! Not so pet friendly after all. We opted to not bring our fur babies. I emailed the company several times to try to negotiate this fee & never received a response. Will never rent this property again. The house was older & the furniture a tad tired but it was clean for the most part. We did find many roaches in the kitchen and bathroom. Yuck! Pest control is needed.

It was great for family of all ages with a ton of room for dinners and private seating areas throughout, inside and outside in the yard. It was well equipped for grilling outside for large families. If we have a reason to return to Pensacola Beach, we will certainly stay here again.

Great Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property easily accommodated 6 adults and 3 children and had all the amenities to make the stay enjoyable. Location was just across the street from the beach with two walkover sites on either side of beachfront properties. Review would be all 5 stars but some additional attention to cleaning the floors, sprucing up the landscaping, cleaning the paved areas, replacing outdoor furniture cushions, and putting a propane bottle in the outdoor firepit would do the trick.

Lovely house in great location but needs some work.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was beautifully decorated with excellent amenities and in a great location. I loved the ice maker and Tesla charger, landscaping, adequate parking and the fenced-in yard for pets.However, the house smelled like mildew, the counters were sticky, the grill was filthy, the upstairs guest bedroom had no AC, fire pit did not work, and it was very poorly stocked (2 rolls of toilet paper, 2 soaps, 2 dishwasher pods, and 2 garbage bags for a 4bd,3b house and no cleaning supplies. I called the evening we arrived, and as I had not heard anything from the managing company 48 hours later, I personally went to the office. The manager brought soap and TP, had the grill cleaned and put an ozonator in which only helped for 24 hours.The mildew/mold smell returned and he said that is what happens when you live on the beach.He also opened a vent between bedrooms upstairs. This then made the master warm and the guest room a little more tolerable. Definitely need another AC unit up there. This house could be fantastic and worth the high rental price with a little effort.

Thank you for taking time to post your review. We're so pleased to hear that everyone enjoyed the decor', amenities and location of the home. It's a stunning home! We're sorry to hear that there were a few things that were not to your liking. We can certainly understand that. Please know that we are a very transparent company and try to ensure that our guests are prepared before they arrive. We sent you an email on 12/7/21, the day you made your reservation, with the rental agreement as well as a list of items you might want to bring with you. It states that we give an initial supply of toilet paper, paper towels, etc that will get you through a day or so until you can replenish those items. It sounds like that portion of the email may have been missed. This is an industry standard but we try very hard to let our guests know what we do supply so they will be prepared and not get upset. That's certainly the last thing we want to do. I'm so glad we were able to give you the supplies and that you were happy with our quick services. We hope these issues won't detour you from staying with us in the future.

Beautiful home and grounds

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year to stay at this home so we knew how warm and inviting it was. Whoever upgraded this house spared no expense. Kitchen is top shelf, as are finishes, baths, living room furnishings and the landscaping is over the top. It’s very comfortable. There were 6 adults in our party and we were all very comfortable. The location to the beach and easy access is better than some beach homes. It is right across the street from one of the beach accesses with the mesh mat that goes right out to the dunes, so rolling carts are a breeze to use. We have loved staying at this property.

Wonderful property!!! Have stayed at multiple places along the coast and this is one of our favorites. Well appointed home, lots of space, nice open garden area, steps to beach in residential area so not overly crowded. Outside ice machine is a VERY nice touch for coolers!! Will definitely try to stay again.
