Lots of space and great location!
Our group of 3 families (6 adults and 7 kids) really enjoyed our stay here over Labor Day weekend! The house had plenty enough space for all of us, and we especially loved the expansive balcony. The guys loved having 3 TVs in the living room so they could watch 3 different football games at once. The kitchen was well stocked and had very good quality pots and pans (especially for a rental!). It was a little tricky not having a garbage disposal in the sink, but we made do. The location was perfect - a short walk to the beach and also close to lots of restaurants, souvenir shops, the bay, etc. The only complaints we had were that the house was not cleaned well when we arrived (dirty, sandy floors and funky carpet), and there were no ceiling fans in any of the bedrooms.

Tri-fecta
The location of this home meets the needs of anyone who enjoys the water, whether it be sand and waves at the beach, calm waters and boating on the sound, or peaceful swimming in the pool. The home is spacious and accommodated our family; also accommodated our extended family (40+ staying in the neighborhood) for dinner every night. The owners are exceptional—we had no internet and a broken cooktop when we arrived. Owners came by the next day to see if it was something they could fix—to no avail. Being 4th of July weekend, we were concerned issues couldn’t be addressed until after the holiday BUT with lots of persuasion from the owners, both repairmen showed up the next day and and everything was repaired. Could not ask for a better response to issues that arise unexpectedly. We are looking forward to a stay again next year.

Great family location
We had 11 people In our group, 6 adults and five kids. This place was perfect. The owner is quick to respond and was very helpful. The blinds do cause some minor issues but we had no concern of privacy. Awesome place! If we go back to Pensacola we wouldn’t hesitate to return to this home! LOVED IT!

Great Property But Lacks Proper Maintenance
Owner was nice and easy to communicate with prior to stay. The property is spacious and has a great layout. With that said, upon arrival we discovered that the refrigerator/freezer smelled of spoiled shrimp. Boxes of baking soda had been placed but the smell took over everything. The ice maker in the wet bar was out of order. We were told not to use the extra refrigerator/freezer downstairs. Even though this house sleeps 15, there were only 14 forks and they were from 7 different sets of flatware. There is no garbage disposal in kitchen sink which was a major inconvenience. The vent in the master bedroom toilet area was not functional. The toilet is closed into a very small area so not being able to vent was unpleasant. The vertical blinds were mismatched and had large gaps with slats missing that left us exposed to anyone outside of our bathroom or bedroom. Handles on furniture were broken and drawers pull out and can drop on your foot. Beautiful balconies but cheap plastic chairs for sitting and enjoying the view were all that were present. The towels were of very poor quality. My family has stayed in two other houses in this same neighborhood over the past six years. They both offered a much better experience for less money.
