The house was quaint and perfect for our retreat away without the kids. It was walkable to everything and very safe feeling. We enjoyed watching the 5k run past the front porch. We walked everywhere from the house. Air conditioning was cool. Only tricky part was letting in natural light without being entirely open to the front street. May be nice to have a sheer curtain instead of roll up shades. We walked to a welcoming brewery Pensacola Bay Brewery, dinner at Hub Stacey’s with incredibly fast service and great food. Breakfast at Fosko’s. Cooled off on quirky couches at Odd Colony. Walked to Palafox Pier and toured the free Pensacola Archeology museum. Loved this quaint cottage and would come back!

Adorable little cottage

The Blake cottage was great! Just a short walk away from plenty of amazing restaurants and shops. We also really enjoyed just walking around the gorgeous neighborhood. Comfy bed, relaxing energy, and the perfect location. I don’t think we could have found a better place for the value!

Historic downtown stay

We really enjoyed the history of the house, the location to downtown, the charm of the neighborhood, and the cozy atmosphere of the house. We were even visited by the most beautiful and sweet kitty. I loved sitting on the porch with her on my lap. It was all perfect.

The price is right

Perfect getaway in a quiet safe neighborhood. The blake is the perfect no frills cottage. Definitely would recommend. For more than 2 guests we recommend the Jesse cottage next door which we had the opportunity to occupy as well. Cynthia and Rachel were great at answering any needs that arose.

Great three day visit

Short trip to visit family and friends in Pcola. Great little cottage for my son and some old friends to meet for a Friday night walk to Palafox for entertainment and dinner. Enjoyed a few glasses of wine and a few beers with them at the cottage afterwards. Cottage could use a small fridge with freezer for ice rather than dorm room fridge with no freezer. Nice parking in rear for visitors.

Very Nice

Overall very good. Only issue was need for space heaters because temp was 31 degrees in the mornings. Heaters really dried out the air and hard to keep a consistent temperature inside. Plenty of a/c window units so assume much easier to cool the house when outside temps are 80. Location great. Amenities very good. Cost excellent.

For downtown Pensacola Florida it was a nice place to stay. The house was very clean the Host was easy to get in touch with and the parking around back was convenient and the window air conditioning was nice and cold! My only advice is to make sure you bring your own bottled water and your own bathing soap because there wasn’t any complementary there for us. No biggy. Yes, I would stay there again!
