Pensacola Beach House

Great House for a Family Reunion !! You can see the Canal from the driveway , can walk the kids to the Playground , go to a good Seafood Restaurant or to a fresh Seafood Store ( which we did a number of times ) which is sooo good !! The Beach we went to the most was Johnson's Beach , there is a fee after 8am but it has Showers , Lifeguards & a Pavilion with lots of picnic tables !!

Great property

This house is so charming. My daughter & I came into town for a wedding and brought her Border Collie,Gus with us. We all enjoyed our stay. The fenced in back yard was perfect for Gus we even took him to a dog park that was very close to the house. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. I would highly recommend staying with Joy. She was very accommodating & a pleasure to deal with.

Our trip

The property was everything it was advertised to be. The host has provided so many special “at home” extras like beach toys, extra beach towels, laundry soap, pancake mix, tissues, and a binder with information about the area. We ate a a wonderful restaurant at her recommendation and we played on the beach on the other side due to the higher waves. It was a great place to stay and the host has thought of everything!

Very nice place...has everything you need

The listing is very accurate. The place is clean and has everything you need. Only one thing I would mention for pet owners is that there is some sticker ball things in the backyard that get in the pets feet and fur and can hurt their paws, but that's just mother nature. Everything at the house was wonderful and Joy has thought of everything you might need.

Family beach vacation

Great location and property with our 12 yr old daughter and 3 dogs, house was perfect size and as advertised in photos. No issues accept the master bathroom toilet stopped working our second night. The host offered to fix and was very responsive, but we opted to just use the other two bathrooms instead. Also the outdoor porch light was out which made it hard to see the sprinklers when we were returning at night so I got sprayed a few times, but overall it was a wonderful experience and we would definitely stay again!!!

Amazing home! Great host!

We stayed a Joy's Beach House for 3 weeks escaping the cold of MN for a short time. It was a working vacation. More vacation than working, as it should be!The home and location are fantastic! Very clean, very well stocked, and equipped with everything you could need! Including equipment to enjoy the beaches. The neighborhood is very quiet and we enjoyed walking our dog and viewing the sunrise and sunset. Being located between downtown Pensacola and Gulf Shores, AL, gives you endless places to visit and explore. Having the use of the garage was a big plus!The fully fenced and beautifully landscaped backyard was enjoyed by us and our dog. During one of the many dog walks, my wife bought some fresh shrimp and Grouper from the seafood shop down the street and we grilled them alongside some T-bone steaks for a surf and turf dinner on the deck. The patio lighting on the deck was really nice, too! The internet speed was great and I was able to work without any issues - even from the deck. If you are looking for a great and spacious home to spend time in the Pensacola area, we definitely recommend Joy's Beach House!

This is the second time we’ve stayed here and we love it! Very pretty and clean, good size house with plenty of room. Was told by one of the kids that the couch bed in the upstairs loft area was very comfy! And there’s a good size fenced in back yard also. Any time we visit the area we always look to see if this house is available first! We will definitely be back!

We loved Joy’s house! We were amazed at the beauty of the clean interior and all she provided to make our stay fabulous! Our labradoodle loved laying on the doggy blankets when she wasn’t on her sleeping mat. She also loved playing ball in the fenced yard and walking in the neighborhood. We enjoyed the location, beautiful rooms, very comfortable bed/ bedding and Joy’s well organized binder. This was the best place we have ever stayed. We would definitely return when we are in the area again. Thanks Joy! Thanks VRBO!
