This quaint summer cottage is located across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. We prefer to rent weekly, from either Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday but will consider shorter stays. The interior is casual Mediterranean style. The cottage is two stories above pilings with an enclosed garage below.
The first floor is a spacious living room with an adjoining dining area and convenient kitchen. The master bedroom and bath is tucked away on the first floor. Take the spiral staircase up to the wrought iron railed cat walk where two additional bedrooms are located. The bedrooms upstairs have a bathroom in between them. Both bathrooms have large, tiled walk-in showers. One full-sized air mattress is also available. All counter tops (kitchen & bath) are granite.
The upstairs bedrooms have large balconies and the master bedroom steps out onto the main deck that surrounds the house. The large back deck(40'x20')has a seating area. There is also a large outdoor shower with hot/cold water and a dressing bench located downstairs between the garage and back stairs.
If your group is larger and you need more space, you can also rent my adjacent vacation rental at Vrbo # 4087419. Bring the whole family and rent both houses!

Awesome property with amazing decks in very close proximity to Beach/access. It isn't a party neighborhood, but we were always able to have a good time on property hassle free. Very nice host. We would stay again.

We had an amazing experience! The property owner has great communication and personally showed us the property and asked if we had any special requests. Property is clean and exactly what we needed for our trip. Street was nice and quiet and It’s a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

We had a great time! Not a bad walk to the beach, close enough to the shops and restaurants to drive but not right in the middle of it all. There were not enough beach chairs so Richard went and bought brand new ones for us. Great host!

This property is very clean, modern, and close to the ocean, with a walkway to the beach just 2 houses away. Richard, the host, was very informative and helpful. It was a great family vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Proximity to the beach was close enough for our 3 year old to walk each day with us. The owner keeps a lot of beach toys in the garage that we had fun playing with.

Very nice, well appointed home. A short walk to the beach gave us the winter getaway we were looking for! Richard is a great host.

This house was perfect. The owner, Richard, met us on arrival and gave us a tour. He was readily available if we needed anything throughout our stay. The property was very clean and in a perfect location. Access to the beach was about a 2 minute walk, and we were close to attractions and restaurants. The house was fully stocked with kitchen equipment. We will definitely want to stay here on our next visit!

We absolutely loved our stay at Richard’s Beach House. It had everything we needed and accommodated for five guests perfectly. One of my favorite parts about this beach house was the outdoor shower, I never took a shower inside! Richard was a wonderful host and we cannot wait to be back!

This was my first time using Vrbo and I don’t think there could have been a better host with a great property to show me. Richard was an awesome host who is very strong in communication, fairness, and overall a great person. The property was perfectly located for a 2 minute walk to the beach. The 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with the open area down stairs was perfect for my group of 6 friends. The BBQ grills were a nice touch but the outdoor shower was the best part. 100% will be coming back and staying at this property again.

We were in town for a family wedding and the house worked perfectly for us! The beds were super comfy and the entire house was clean and well stocked. The owners were wonderful to work with and very responsive. The only thing of note would be a small word of caution about the spiral staircase. We were perfectly ok with it but it is definitely steep and would be very difficult to navigate with any mobility issues. okthing

The home was very comfortable and had such a pleasant feel. The house was very clean and well stocked. The host was there to meet us and gave wonderful instructions on the house. We really loved the location of the house. It was a short walk to the AMAZING beach and a quick drive to stores and restaurants. We WILL go back!

We had a nice time staying here. We enjoyed the upgrades like new second level deck and outdoor shower. The walk to the beach was only a block and a half and did not take long at all. The yard area around the house does have stickers so renters should be aware of that. The stairs can be a little tricky and I wouldn’t recommend for young children for safety purposes. We had a lovely time here though! This property was cozy for family hang out time and delightfully convenient to beach access! We would book again!

There was keyless entry that did not function, so 1key for 4 adults was unacceptable. We had no access to local TV or cable, Master bedroom is very small, no vanity space in bath, space was also limited because of extra items and bedding being stored so we never ‘unpacked’, bed was uncomfortable. Nice area, beautiful beach but would want better accommodations for return visit

This house has it all: comfort, location and amenities. It was the perfect location for us to both enjoy the gorgeous beach and explore Pensacola. The walk to the beach is very short, no problem to go back and forth if you need something. The house has everything you need from a fully stocked kitchen (including outdoor grills) to beach chairs and toys. Outdoor shower is a plus when coming back from the beach. All beds and furniture are extremely comfortable. The house is in a quiet neighborhood away from the hotels, but close enough to get anywhere. We enjoyed exploring downtown Pensacola and the national seashore. Both just a short drive, maybe 10 minutes. Richard is fantastic! He made sure we had everything we needed. We will be back!!

This was a great house and we had a great time seeing the Blue Angels. I'm going to share my pros and cons of the home. These are just my observations.
Cons
*The master bedroom has a Jack and Jill bathroom shared with the kids room.
*The downstairs bedroom is only a double (that should be the master)
*my whole feng shui was thrown off (lol)
As always we should end on a positive.
Pros
*so close to the beach.
*nice big deck for lounging.
*the outside shower is ahhhmazing (none of us showered inside...literally not once). This was my favorite feature of the house.
*new deck off the upstairs
*master has a comfy bed
*owner offered beach chairs and things for our use.
I'm sure there are things i missed but suffice it to say, we had a great time and the house was wonderful.

The obvious outdoor features of the house are the multiple decks that offer great views from each side along with plenty of comfortable chaise lounges and an outdoor dining space. One gas and one charcoal grill gives the renter the choice for outdoor cooking. The short walk to the beautiful beach is right around the corner. There are two hoses that made rinsing sandy feet and toys easy along with an outdoor shower for quick cleanup upon return from the beach. Indoors, the kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cookware. A large stockpot could be a nice addition. The mattresses are comfortable in all bedrooms. There is plenty of gathering space like couches, tables, and chairs and four televisions for convenient viewing. The furniture is great quality and all rooms are exceptionally clean. Can't go wrong here!
