The best

The location was perfect — close to everything we needed and just steps to the beach. The townhouse had everything our family could want: beach chairs, toys, cooking utensils, and plenty of space to spread out. Both the grandparents and grandkids enjoyed the comfort and convenience. A great spot for a relaxing family getaway!

Perfect spring break!

This rental is absolutely perfect! Was great for our family spring break trip. The stroller was such a helpful addition for our daily walks. All the beach toys were great for our daughter and not to mention the extremely short walk to the beach. The apartment has so much room! We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place and location

I've been coming to pensacola beach for the past 14 years. This is the first time we have stayed here. By far this is the best place to stay. Litterally 25 steps to the ramp and another 30 steps to the beach. Spacious as we had 6 adults and 1 2 year old.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
While the location and beach access were fine, the property was NOT clean and coated with dust. All of the baths were caked with mold, and missing basic caulk for waterproofing in corners. The water damage was extensive. The first left bedroom up the stairs had noticeable water damage and a musty smell. We couldn’t use that entire bedroom during our stay, and sweat it out in bedroom 2 the entire time bc it had minimal airflow - no air coming from the vent. The advertised dedicated ice maker never worked (it seems at one point it leaked into the cabinet showing water damage signs), the outlet by the main tv just stopped working - great way to spend our vacation time fiddling with dead outlets. In addition, no hand soap in any of the baths, minimal paper products, and disorganized cabinets. The washing machine also didn’t work without leaving sludge on our clothes. It was missing the center agitator so we had to spray out our coated clothes and take our stuff to the beach laundromat which cost around 50. We paid a premium for this property, and surprise! Vacasa was no help from day 1. We sat on hold hours trying to get some help with some of these missing “amenities”. Finally, our last day, a worker on the unit next to us asked us to vacate the patio for the day bc they were scheduled to the jackhammer the balcony wall above us for 6-7 hours due to a defect and leak! It was scheduled via HOA for all properties one at a time, yet Vacasa let us book! Ruined our vacation. :(

Relaxed and Restful!

Beautiful view. The pictures listed were exact. Home was very clean, everything you need for the beach itself was there, just as stated. The beds in the guest rooms were hard. No other way to state it. The master bed was great! The only other thing that was stated and I just didn’t read carefully enough is that there are a lot of stairs. Two full sets. One just to get in the home and another to get to the bedrooms. It was difficult for one of us how had an ankle injury. If you are I. Great health it’s fine, if not, just know there are a lot of stairs. Overall great experience.

One of the best rentals I have ever stayed

The place was really nice with everything a traveler needs. Located right at the beach. Everything for the beach is provided, lounge chairs, umbrellas, water toys, ice chest, a wagon and so much more! Would definitely recommend to friends and hopefully come back to Pensacola again!

Perfect Pensacola Beach House!

We loved our stay! It was nicely situated on Fort Pickens Road, close to the amenities at Casino Beach and Peg Legs! The access to the beach was unbeatable and the home had everything we would need for a beach day without having to haul things to the house. I hope to get back to Big O Beach Home!

What snowstorm?

Even though we experienced the historic snowstorm during our visit… it didn’t hamper our stay at this beautiful beachfront home. Breathtaking views! We saw dolphins swimming by from the living room. Really can’t beat the location. The home was roomy and comfortable. I would love to come back but maybe not during a snowstorm next time.

A wonderful place to stay

We just loved it here. Checking in was so easy, the condo was available if we wanted to check in a little early. Access and view of the beach was just perfect. The second floor bedroom suite was lovely, my sister and I grabbed it quick. With a balcony overlooking Pensacola Beach. It was very nice. All the conveniences. We never had to leave the condo. We had the best time. And can’t wait to book it again ❤️

Peaceful getaway

This home/condo is by far our favorite one thus far. It was our first time staying in Pensacola during the off season. The views from the living and bedroom areas are magnificent and will fill your soul. The place is spacious, extremely clean, beautifully decorated and gives you a beach homey feel. The kitchen and wet bar are fully equipped for anything you might need. The beds are super comfortable, the master suite is huge with a wonderful balcony. The garage is filled with every type of beach toy, chair or bike you might need for beach play. The large first floor patio is huge and puts you steps away from the beach. The big plus for us was that the unit was pet friendly! You would never know a pet was there though. Pensacola has two pet friendly beach areas within a shot drive. Our pup loved the beach. We would recommend this home to large or small groups. We will definitely rent again. We have been to many beach homes from Orange Beach to Destin and this one blew us away.
