About this property

Perfect Spring Getaway! 2BR, 1BA, Steps from Local Eats, Mins to Downtown Area

Discover a serene escape where history meets modern elegance. Our lovingly renovated 1940s Twin Oaks Cottage provides a stylish, cozy haven under the canopy of majestic oaks. Relax in the private backyard, where the Southern sunset casts a tranquil glow, blending nature and comfort for an unforgettable stay.

Located just one block off Scenic Highway and only 7 minutes from downtown Pensacola and 18 minutes from Pensacola Beach, Twin Oaks Cottage is the perfect starting point to explore historic sites, unwind, and achieve work-life balance with our complimentary WiFi.

The Space:
Settle into the warm, inviting ambiance of Twin Oaks Cottage, where you can unwind to your favorite tunes on the Bluetooth speaker. Step outside and uncover the neighborhood’s rich historic charm, or relax indoors with a curated collection of board games and good books. In the newly renovated black-and-white bath, treat yourself to a luxurious soak or a refreshing shower, enhanced by our hand-selected toiletries for an extra touch of indulgence.

Twin Oaks Cottage features two thoughtfully designed bedrooms, with a King bed in the master suite and a Queen bed in the guest room—each arranged for a restful night’s sleep. A cozy pull-out sofa in the living room sleeps two additional guests, making the cottage ideal for families or small groups. Gather around the dining table, which seats four, while a charming bistro table for two offers a cozy spot for morning coffee or intimate meals.

Upon arrival, you’ll find a welcoming coffee bar stocked with drinks and snacks to start your stay in comfort. Closets are thoughtfully organized for quick, easy storage, and ample off-street parking is available for vehicles and boat trailers, ensuring a seamless, enjoyable experience from start to finish.
Travel tip: For peace of mind, we recommend travel insurance, especially during hurricane season (June - November 1st).

Neighborhood Charm & Local Amenities:
Nestled in the historic Luna Colony, Twin Oaks Cottage offers a unique blend of natural beauty and community charm. Stroll tree-lined streets with mature gardens and admire breathtaking views of Pensacola Bay and Bayou Texar. The walkable neighborhood includes an array of local gems, from cozy diners to elegant fine dining. You’ll also find a charming grocery store stocked with essentials and gifts by local artists, a CVS pharmacy, laundromat, nail salon, and a variety of shops and eateries, including a waterfront restaurant and classic neighborhood dive bar.

Bring Your Boat – FREE Trailer Parking!
Steps from the Bayou Texar boat launch, you’ll be perfectly positioned to experience Pensacola’s love of life on the water. Whether you’re here to fish, explore by boat, or simply soak in the view, Twin Oaks Cottage offers a front-row seat.

Beautiful Home. 5 stars indeed!

Twin Oaks Cottage was truly perfect. The accommodations were exactly as promised and more than expected. We were delighted by the beautifully appointed decor, all of the amenities, and the hospitality. I highly recommend this home to anyone staying for any length of time. The attention to detail superb and so much more comfortable than a hotel. Thank you to the hostess!

Perfect for my quick getaway! Quiet neighborhood, charming cottage, excellent amenities, spotless and clean with inviting personality. Lots of natural light, but also was pleased by the light-dimming option for all lamps and overhead lighting. Easy communication with owner & instructions provided, as well. Would return, MOST DEFINITELY!

Perfect!

The home is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Its in a nice neighborhood and the outside yard is welcoming as you pull in. The open concept of the living room, dining and kitchen is modern and inviting. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and the bathroom is like walking into a spa. We loved the coffee bar and bistro table to enjoy our morning cup of java. The backyard allows you privacy and a place to sit and realax outdoors. Susan has provided everything you would need during your stay. Our time was peaceful and refreshing. Susan went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and enjoy our visit. This place is 5 Stars, I hive it my highest recommendation as I'm sure you will be happy to stay here as well.

This is was our second time staying. We still love it so much and will continue to go back! It is the cutest and coziest house. The backyard is so nice and our son loves it. The property manager is so nice when we have communicated and left us a sweet gift for returning! You couldn’t ask for a better place!

Great central location

This cottage was located in an area that has easy access to the beaches in Pensacola, Navarre and only about an hours drive into Destin. So cute and beautifully decorated. Very clean!!! My only suggestion would be softer bed linens and possibly a memory foam topper to make the mattresses more comfortable. The host was very quick to respond to any questions. We had a great time !

Wonderful Getaway

We had a wonderful time. The house is a lovely cottage only minutes from the beach. It has lots of natural light and an amazing back yard. The decor is chic and inviting. We typically stay in Destin, but loved our time in Pensacola so much that we will be coming back to Pensacola instead.

Wonderful (too brief) getaway

We had a brief 2-night stay in Pensacola at this lovely cottage. The place was clean, inviting, and had everything we needed. The backyard and patio were perfect for a morning or afternoon drink with a book. Susan was very responsive to our questions before the visit and her guidebook at the house answered any questions we might've had during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars; we highly recommend this spot, and plan to make it a regular stop for our Pensacola visits. Be back soon!

Twin Oaks property

My husband and I had a great visit in Pensacola! Awesome property!! However it was quite cold during that time and we could not enjoy the great outdoors. Our daughter and her husband came over from PCB and stayed 2 nights with us. Downside -Only 1 bath which is pretty standard with many of the older homes. Definitely would stay at this property again— good location—and safe area.
