Visit the heart of Pensacola Beach to soak up some sun on the Emerald Coast. Stroll down the white sandy shore or the Pensacola Beach Boardwalk to taste a variety of fresh Gulf cuisine, explore multiple shopping destinations, enjoy live music during the summer at The Shell, or even rent scooters.
Take a scenic drive just minutes from your cozy vacation home down Santa Rosa Island to Fort Pickens, a historic defense fort established in the early 1800s. Those of all ages will love wandering through the multiple enduring corridors with rich stories to tell in this national park.
Downtown Pensacola will without a doubt charm you with its continuously emerging shopping, dining, nightlife, and historical experience opportunities. Kids will love the open spaces and playground areas, delicious candy shops, as well as fun museums. Catch a Blue Wahoos minor league baseball game or an Ice Flyers hockey game. Make sure to get a selfie with one of the many pelican statues spread throughout downtown.
Pensacola is home to the Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron. If you’re lucky, you might catch them practicing on any given day while relaxing on the beach. Pensacola Beach also hosts an air show each July, and there is a show over the Naval Air Station each November. If seeing the Blue Angels isn’t enough, venture over to the Pensacola Navy Base for public access to the National Naval Aviation Museum, a Pensacola favorite, offering a rich historical experience for kids and adults alike. Onsite of the base is the Pensacola Lighthouse Museum where you can climb up the winding staircase for breathtaking views or walk down the boardwalk to take pictures on Barrancas Beach. While you’re there, you could also check out Fort Barrancas.

Beautiful condo with a beautiful view of the gulf and the sound. I only wish I was able to communicate more smoothly with the host via VRBO instead of the other website we had to use.
We had zero complaints about the condo-it’s just as pictured with beautiful views of the beach. Between 4 adults and a 9 year old, we had plenty of space.

The room was clean and as advertised. The kitchen was very well stocked with pans and everything we needed. The check in process was smooth and check out was a breeze.

The condo was very nice, had an issue with the refrigerator the first two days but the property manager took care of the problem and refunded us for our loss. We enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future!

Really enjoyed the condo. 12th floor was perfect. Was clean, plenty of utensils. Did not find extra area for dry goods after store run so ended up on counter. Wished building had grills. Elevators worked well, no long wait times. Would stay again.

Our stay was so comfortable. The condo was clean and well-stocked and in the perfect location being right on the beach. The view was wonderful. We enjoyed the morning at the beach and the afternoon in the pool. We walked to everything we wanted to do and our favorite restaurant (even though they were still closed for renovations) Red Fish Blue Fish is right across the street, as welll as the Sneaky Tiki!! The staff were so helpful when we called with questions. We will be back!

We’ve stayed at Emerald Isle almost every year for the past 15 years. Always a positive experience and this year was no different. Condo was clean and everything was as expected. We had a little scare with the oven as it started making a loud sound. Someone came and checked it out the next day and said it was fine but it made that sound again next time we cooked. After a bit of research I decided it was probably an issue with the cooling fan, so nothing scary like we had imagined. All in all it was a perfect escape and we will stay at Emerald Isle again in the future.

Thank you for your detailed review of your recent stay at Emerald Isle. We're pleased to hear that you had a positive experience overall, with the condo being clean and meeting your expectations. While the issue with the oven was a minor inconvenience, we're glad that it was resolved promptly. Your continued loyalty to our property is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
The room was excellent, very clean, nicely decorated. The check in process at the gate left little to be desired
but I was able to get a hold of someone for a new gate code. I was disappointed to not find a hair dryer in the condo. I usually bring mine but don't need it due to one being in the condo, but this time I decided not too. It had hair dryer attachment but no hair dryer. On our last night there, it was very hard to sleep due to furniture being moved around on the floor above, but I know that is out of your control. Overall it was an exceptional stay at your condo. Will definitely stay at the Emerald Isle again!!
We came for a family trip with just our two kids (2.5 & 5.5 years). The unit was beautiful and perfect for our family. It was very clean and had everything we needed to cook meals.
The balcony has good seating and an amazing view. It’s nice being on lower floors, but the view from up here and being further from The pool noise was very nice. They need a few more elevators but we didn’t mind waiting all that much. The location of the complex is also so nice bc it’s far enough from the crowded beach near the pier but close enough to get to places in just.a few minutes. We never minded driving the short distance to the pier or boardwalk
There’s also a liquor store right there and gas station across the street that has some simple groceries. If you’re planning on cooking a lot I’d suggest doing a Instacart order delivery from Publix and not mess w driving to the main island
Wonderful vacation overall (4 nights seemed plenty with the two young kids) will be booking again! .
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed the amazing location and found the unit to be clean and comfortable. Thank you for choosing Pensacola Beach Properties!
The building and amenities were good. The unit itself was sub-par. No hot water at kitchen sink. Washing machine has bad clicking noise. The patio was very dirty. Master bedroom mattress topper very uncomfortable. Sheets on Master did not fit. Living room sofas cushions would not stay secure on sofa. Misleading ad on VRBO. Every other beach home we've stayed in included beach chairs and umbrella. They were in the pictures of the ad, but to our surprise, they were not included. Only one dish cloth and towel? Would not rent this condo again.
