One word: location!! 2 bed/2 bath loft- the perfect spot for military officers or a quick family getaway, literal STEPS away from the best Pensacola has to offer! A 15 minute drive to the beach or NAS museum.
This entire condo is a part of the The Brent Lofts vacation home rentals and located on the 3rd floor (elevator access). The historic building, built in 1906, offers the perfect balance of historic charm and modern amenities! Includes access to the fitness center and Sky Lounge patio area, ground floor lobby doubles as Brent Lofts Art Gallery. Direct street access to over 40 walkable restaurants and shops in the heart of Downtown Pensacola, Palafox Street!
**IMPORTANT NOTE: Palafox Street is currently closed to vehicle traffic due to construction, but all the shops, restaurants, and bars that we love so much are still open! Construction is almost complete, so we do not expect many effects other than cosmetic. Entry to the Lofts and close parking will not be affected, as there are two additional entrances on the side and back of the building away from Palafox. We'd be happy to provide any information we can at your request. This particular condo DOES NOT overlook Palafox, but we would like to be transparent about the access around the property as one of our lobby entrances does face Palafox. Thank you!***

This stay was a splurge for me but it was really worth it. Never have I stayed at a cleaner rental. The kitchen was so well appointed. We loved the location most of all! Pensacola is finishing up the road repairs right in front of the place but that didn’t disturb us at all. Communication was clear and timely. This was a really fun visit!
Fantastic place super great host! Well add this to our list of places to stay.

The Brent Lofts are the perfect location for any Pensacola visit. The building is beautiful and the management company was extremely responsive and kind. The location is perfect with close access to dining, farmers market, sporting events and the marina, not to mention a short drive to the beach. I would highly recommend and will be returning.

Thank you! We’re so glad you loved your stay! Come back and visit us again soon!
This loft was beautifully decorated, very conveniently located, clean as a whistle and better than expected. We would encourage you to book here if you are visiting the downtown area of Pensacola. Others had said it was loud due to weekend bar visitors and road traffic, but we sleep with sound machines, so had no issues. Beds were comfortable, nice appliances and it has everything you need for a long weekend without having to pack too much for coffee, toiletries and such. Communication with rental company was very easy and they send up ample information for parking and entry details. It has been over 20 years since we visited this area but we are definitely considering returning much sooner than that. Lovely area.

We watched the Christmas Parade, shopped the markets and hopped across the street in our pj’s for coffee every morning. I can’t think of a single flaw!! Thank you!!

The Brent Lofts are my second home when coming to Pensacola for work. They are located right in the middle of downtown, and walking distance to everything you may need. Every loft I stayed in has been clean and beautifully furnished. It feels like home. I also love that we have access to the gym and outdoor space. My only request is to put a full size ironing board in each unit. The small ones do not work on business attire.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Mar 2024
Hi Farrah! Thank you so much for your review. Unfortunately, your stay happened to fall on Gallery Night, a monthly event where Palafox is shut down and tons of small business vendors and artists come together on the street. The bars legally have to shut down much earlier than 4am, so we will be looking more into that. We will do our best to improve the unit itself based on your feedback so we can ensure the next stay is a 10/10!

We rented this unit after losing a rental at another location because of a double booking. We loved this place. Clean and spacious. Only two minor comments for improvement. Add blackout shades for the bedrooms. Have a note saying there is a ladder under the bed. A lot of storage in this unit is very high and we could not get to it. When we were checking out making sure we hadn't left anything we found a ladder under the bed.
Malibu R.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 July 2024
Thank you for your review and thank you for your recommendations! We wish we would've known you were searching for the ladder, we would've been happy to point it out! We typically don't advertise the use of the ladder because the tall storage space is not usually used in the weekend stays- all the kitchen supplies and toiletries are located at normal height. Despite that, we will certainly take those to heart and work on these so we can make your experience better the next time around! Thank you for taking such great care of the space.
