College Swim/Dive Team Winter Training

The property fit our needs perfectly. Lots of space and amenities. The game room was great and used everyday for pool and ping pong matches. The heated pool was a great bonus as the weather was a bit chilly during our trip. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals for our team. Plenty of of beds, rooms, and bathrooms for everyone. It was very close to the ocean and the bay. Plenty of parking and our bus fit with room to spare. The host was there to greet us and checked in daily. Will return in the future!

Family Vacation

We loved it,nice place lots of room not on the beach but close enough to walk. Had a couple minor issues they were fixed right away with no problem. Dave is a excellent host!

Solid property with a few issues

The property overall was nice. There were a few issues that were eventually addressed. The times of address were unconvienent and not very timely. They were nice people to deal with and had solid intentions. Overall even with the hassles a good 4 stars.

Fantastic Rental

Booked property for our family Christmas with 19 people. Clean house, great location, LOTS of room. Owner is FANTASTIC! We had an issue with the refrigerator the first night and he personally came to fix it THAT NIGHT! Game room was a huge hit for all! Definitely need to upgrade the beds/mattresses soon. Need rocking chair of some kind for families with babies. Will absolutely be back!

Great Spot

My wife and I are local to Pensacola, but our entire wedding party and their families were traveling in from out of town. The space fit us all comfortably and everything was very clean. I will be booking again should the group want to make it happen again. Its location made all the errands we had to do before the wedding very convenient.

fun time

Facilities were top rate, host attentive but not intrusive. Plenty of room for everyone, well equipped. Everything we needed for a good time. We recommend to anyone who wants to have a unique beach experience.

Perfect for an Extended-family Vacation

Our immediate and extended family, including kids - 8 months, 3 years, and 12 years - drove in from other states to have a beach vacation with those of us who live here in Pensacola. The house was absolutely everything we could have needed or wanted. It is spacious and well-equipped with every thing you need - everything. Dave was exceptional as a host, letting us know when the house was ready for check-in, meeting us to go over the specifics, and making sure the pool was heated so all my crazy family could swim in November. The location is great - a short drive to the 'busy' boardwalk area, and a 3 minute walk to the gulf, where we took family pictures :) It was the vacation to remember!

Secure relaxing stay under stressful conditions

Arrived and was pleased to immediately recognize that this was just the place to accommodate the entire family. There was enough space for everyone to enjoy their privacy while they processed saying the final good bye to the matriarch of our family. There was plenty of room to also accommodate visitors and extended family after the burial to eat and visit and to share my mother in remembrance to everyone. Thank you for your kindness and use of your wonderful house.

Plenty of space

Friends and relatives all stayed together for my daughters wedding. Ample space and great game room which got a lot of use. We ranged from 21-76 in ages and all had a great time. Had 20 people and never felt crowded. House is not brand new and could use a little TLC but overall it was perfect for what we needed for a week.
