The family area is accented by no hassle ceramic tile floors, granite counters, vaulted ceilings and tons of natural light. There is a large flat-screen smart television as well as a stereo system for vacationers enjoyment. This cozy beach house provides meal seating for 10, plus bar seating for two more. The outdoor space with it's fenced in yard allows those pets to safely roam, you'll find a charcoal grill and outdoor furniture for your enjoyment if you've had all you can take of the beach for one day, and there's a Hot/Cold Shower to wash away the sand and suntan oils. Additionally, for those who want to watch the ocean waves or the sun-rise and set, try the upper deck with your morning coffee and evening wine.

Property was adequate for our needs and the price was within our budget, other than that, the place was very comfortable abd it felt very nice and homelike.
This house is in a great location. Not right on the beach, but a very close walk. The beds were comfy and everything was clean. Good place for a family vacation.
We absolutely loved our stay. The house was perfect for all of our needs. Plenty of room and easy access to the beach (what my family loved the most) The town of Pensacola Beach was better than expected. The restaurants were great and just over the bridge was grocery stores and anything else you may need. The beach itself was awesome as well. No need to get up bright and early to find a good spot, plenty of space and no crowds. Stephany was great to work with and was quick to respond to any needs. If you are going to Pensacola Beach, rent this place!
House was cozy and clean, well furnished. Everything worked well and there were plenty of towels and kitchen dishes. The deck at rooftop level was great, we sat up there every morning and evening and just enjoyed the breeze and the ocean sounds. Very nice patio and deck furniture. The house is older but seems to have been kept up pretty well
The backyard was very overgrown with weeds and lots of sand bur stickers and was unusable for anything. If it was cleared and the stickers taken care of, it would be awesome for volleyball, hammocks, or whatever.
The location was perfect for us, right across the street from the beach and there are two easy beach accesses literally just steps away from the house. This is located in a very nice neighborhood.
We would stay here again for future visits due to location, price, and beach proximity.

House needs work
The house was just ok. The location was great! But, there were a few issues with the house. The landscaping needs a major makeover, long weeds everywhere, unable to use volleyball net in the back yard. The upstairs deck has boards missing. The chimney leaks when it rains causing big puddles of water on the living room floor. The pull out sofa bed had cheetos and looked filthy! The pics posted online must be very old, the ocean view is now almost completely blocked by other beach houses now. Photos show nice colorful beach chairs in the yard but they werent there when we were there. If you can get passed all that you will enjoy your stay. Overall we enjoyed it.

worst VRBO experience ever
We were a group of 5 adults and 5 children staying for a week in August. We rented here for the location, a short walk to the beach.
We soon discovered the property had no working hot water. The owner was mostly responsive by text and phone, but it became clear that she does not live in the area and she doesn't have a local property manager to handle problems. Therefore we had to use precious vacation time to be on site for a plumber. The plumber informed us that the hot water heater was dead and should have been replaced approximately 10 years ago based on the model and expected life cycle. So we had to spend more precious vacation time the next day while plumbers replaced the hot water heater. About 2 days into our vacation we finally had hot water.
But the biggest problem was what appeared to be black mold growing on the wall in the room with bunk beds for kids. The property owner shipped cleaning supplies to the property, apparently with the expectation that we would clean and remediate the mold ourselves. The bedroom appears to have previously been a garage that was converted into a living space. The conversion was shoddy (I'm no expert, but I'm sure it wasn't up to code), hence the mold.
Long story short, after spending 6 hours of precious vacation time on the phone with VRBO, we checked out early, VRBO refunded all of our money and helped us move into a better/safer spot..
Stay away from this place! Also, VRBO customer service is a mess!
Wonderful neighborhood very close to the beach. We trekked back and forth from the beach to the house with no problem. The back yard was a bit overgrown so we weren’t able to use much of it. The barbecue pit was also not as pictured (it’s a small charcoal pit instead of the stainless steel one pictured). The owner was quickly responsive when we lost power one day (due to an area outage) and kept us updated on the outage. Overall wonderful stay and would return here!
We had a wonderful stay! House was super comfortable and close to the beach. Working ceiling fans in every room which is a must for us. The backyard was perfect and just what we needed for grilling dinner. Property manager was great and easy to get in touch with. Over all a great house.

This property was not at all as it was displayed. There were many many leaks inside the property that we notified the owner about, but was obvious the leaks had been happening for a while due to the amount t of damage already done. We spent more time cleaning up water and rewatching towels to clean up said water than doing anything else. The back yard was full of weeds and grown up to the point that we couldn’t even use it unlike the pictures. There isn’t a comfortable place to even sit in the house. Majority of the furniture is outdoor furniture. We even left early due to being so uncomfortable.
The house is very well supplied from kitchen to bathrooms. The TV's in the bedrooms all work . I have been in some rentals where they do not. Volley ball net and corn hole game in the back yard. Lots of comfortable seatig in the back. VERY quiet neighborhood no loud music oe loud vehicles. Locals are friendly and will actually talk with you.
A nice room for the kids, bunk beds and their own TV. Main room can host 14 guest. Cottage comes with all the beach toys one could want. One story easy to keep clean on sandy soil.
An old school Florida style beach cottage. You will enjoy!
Good property, closse to the beach. Check in was easy and good communication from the owner. Things that could use improvment. Cleaning of oven, microwave and fans (little details). Kitchen: Excessive pot and pans, most are in bad shape and need to be replaced (toxic).Love that the light switches were labeled. Please consider something similar for the kitchen utensils/appliances/ect. Backyard looked overgrown. The roof patio deck was amazing. Loved the outdoor shower, being able to rinse off before going inside. Thank you. Would absolutely come back!
There was 11 of us ages 4 to 60. Everyone had a great time there was even room for everyone to sit down at the same time. The house was really close to the beach and had everything we needed. It was an older house and didn’t have all the steps to get into it a big plus for me. Very clean and nice. A very short drive to restaurants. Plus the beach was not crowded
