Best renal I've ever had. The owners do all they can to make your stay comfortable - lots of little touches. The house, though small, if very comfortable and feels bigger that it is. Highly recommended.

Host profile image
I enjoy going on hiking trips,going out to eat at new places(foodie at heart), going to flea markets,Netflixing and my passion is rescuing animals.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I wanted to get away from the busy city life, we decided to make beautiful Pensacola our home. Our neighborhood is quiet, we are walking distance from a supermarket, 7 minutes from Sander's Beach (great for fishing) & 3 minutes away from a great seafood restaurant, 10 minutes from downtown & depending on traffic 15 to 20 minutes away from Pensacola Beach. Pensacola is very dog friendly, dogs are accepted almost everwhere, including many beaches. Cool places to hang out everywhere: Blue Wahoo Stadium, Goofy Golf (visit one of the oldest golf courses in the country with great prices & they have a 20 foot tall T-Rex); a must see for kids, Roger Scott Dog Park (nice park with small & large pups areas), National Aviation Museum-3.3 miles from our cottage, we also have great eateries like MiSu street food (delicious truck food), the Garden at Palafox+Main, Scenic 90 Cafe, Joe Patty's Seafood, the Fishouse, Shrimp Basket, Bubba's Sweet Spot (4 mi. away & great sweets), & all are dog friendly.

What makes this property unique

Family friendly,bright, airy,peaceful, on a quiet street, cottage restored to former glory with modern appliances & amenities. 10 min from downtown, 7min from Sander's Beach. Big fenced yard, beautiful covered front porch and spacious back deck with solar string lights, luscious plants & a grill. Outdoor dining table great for al fresco dining. We have a game room with foosball, ping pong table, corn hole set & much more. We also have beach gear available (beach chairs, beach umbrella, a cooler on wheels, beach toys, a picnic basket etc...). Ultimately, we are trying to create lasting memories for our guests & their pups.
