This is the second time we’ve stayed here and we love it! Very pretty and clean, good size house with plenty of room. Was told by one of the kids that the couch bed in the upstairs loft area was very comfy! And there’s a good size fenced in back yard also. Any time we visit the area we always look to see if this house is available first! We will definitely be back!

We loved Joy’s house! We were amazed at the beauty of the clean interior and all she provided to make our stay fabulous! Our labradoodle loved laying on the doggy blankets when she wasn’t on her sleeping mat. She also loved playing ball in the fenced yard and walking in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the location, beautiful rooms, very comfortable bed/ bedding and Joy’s well organized binder. This was the best place we have ever stayed. We would definitely return when we are in the area again. Thanks Joy! Thanks VRBO!

Cheer Comp Weekend

We were looking for a place close to the Pensacola Bay Center for a cheer competition but didnt want to be caught in all the crowded areas. This place was perfect, the house has plenty of room and is a very short drive to Johnsons Beach and plenty of good eating. Have already recommended this house to others for their beach trips.

We will definitely stay here again if we come back to this area. Great location, house was exactly as the pictures indicated. 5 minutes from the beach. 2 minutes to Publix. Plenty of room inside the house and in the back yard. You won’t be disappointed if you stay here.

Pensacola Beach House

Great House for a Family Reunion !! You can see the Canal from the driveway , can walk the kids to the Playground , go to a good Seafood Restaurant or to a fresh Seafood Store ( which we did a number of times ) which is sooo good !! The Beach we went to the most was Johnson's Beach , there is a fee after 8am but it has Showers , Lifeguards & a Pavilion with lots of picnic tables !!

About the host

Hosted by Joy Bruner

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Pensacola. I grew up enjoying the beautiful beaches and the delicious seafood from the Gulf. I moved to Arizona several years ago, but my heart belongs to the Gulf Coast. I am an elementary teacher and I try to sneak away to visit my home whenever I can.

Why they chose this property

I have always loved the Innerarity Point neighborhood. It is conveniently located to so many things, while being super close to the beach and still having that "beachy" neighborhood feel.

What makes this property unique

I've really tried to make this a place that you can just show up and you've got everything you need. When I stay at the house, I am always thinking of what else I can add so that I can really feel at home. I hope you feel the same way!
