Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Could use a better cleaning. Was not as clean I would have expected. A few maintenance items I brought attention to. Nothing major, just annoyances. Very nice layout. Be ready for stairs. Pool and grill area were very nice. Grounds well maintained. Would definitely stay again.

A Week in Paradise

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our experience had both positive and negative aspects to our stay. Unfortunately our entire family was unable to join us as planned and therefore the two of us had the place to ourselves. Being an older couple in our 70's, the three levels of stair cases were a negative. Plus having no bathroom on the main living area created another negative of constantly climbing stairs. The location was perfect, the pool was fantastic and the convenience of access to the beach was wonderful. We did experience a surprise from the HOA. They resurfaced the parking area and we were blocked access to our parking space for two days. A heads up would have been nice.

Nice, Nice

Beautiful view of the Sound. A short distance from the Gulf side beach. Condo is very nice. One important piece of advice is there are 51 steps to get to the condo living room. There is an elevator, but it was being repaired and unusable five of the seven days we were there. In all it is a great place. Personally, I would definitely stay again but only on the first floor.

Construction zone

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Normally a great place in previous years but this year the constant sound of construction really made it very unpleasant for the whole week. I wouldn't go again until it's over.

great location, quiet, needs renovation (that's why it's 4 stars)

Overall, this property is perfect for families. Pros: End unit, great view of sunsets, last community before reaching the National Park, clean, great location, quiet, views of both the sound and gulf sides (and both within walking distance), 3 beds and 3 baths, plenty of seating for dining and living room (6), 3 different options for bathing (1 tub/shower, 1 shower, 1 jetted tub/shower), plenty of cookware, spices, plenty of towels, 3 beach towels. Mary and Jeff are very responsive and helpful. Elevator to entrance of unit. Laundry supplies provided. Coffee provided. Covered parking for 2 vehicles (front and back parking, not side by side). Pool max depth 4ft 6 inches. 2 puzzles provided (500pc and 1000pc). We did the 500 piece and was pleasantly surprised that all pieces were there! Plenty of room to put clothes. Comes with toaster, blender, coffee pot and Keurig, Variety of cookware and utensils, flatware, and place settings. Microwave, oven, full sized fridge, dishwasher, washer dryer combo. Provided plastic wrap, ziploc bags, and aluminum foil. Cons: I believe the entire place (with exception of floors) are original to build in 1990, needs major renovation and better appliances, entrance light falling down, one light switch plate missing (I believe it was in the master closet?), master tub very hard to get in due to width of tub, jets don't work on tub, beds are very soft (my back hurt every morning from bed), you must use stairs within unit (problem for elderly or mobility challenged), top room and bathroom not completely enclosed (loft) so privacy can be an issue on that particular bedroom/bath (I let my teens have it), temperature difference from loft to bottom floor is noticeable (thankfully there are fans). Tips: Bring your own K-cups. There's a Keurig but the provided coffee cups do not work in it. Wish there was tea for noncoffee drinkers. If you have more than 3 people, bring beach towels. Bring your own paper towels-we had partial roll Suggestions: Needs a kitchen trash can that is hands free for cleanliness, second nightstand for CPAP users. Needs better quality trash bags that don't rip easily. We did not watch TV, so can't comment on that. There are TVs in every bedroom and living room. Did not attempt to open couch as a bed so I can't comment on the pull-out. As you can see, I'm pretty picky. Overall, it is a good place. If you don't mind climbing stairs and don't have a problem with an older unit, this one is for you!

Fantastic vacation!

Everything from booking to checkout was a breeze. Communication from the property manager was great. The location was superb! Close location to the pool was a plus. Just a walk across the street to relax and have fun on the beach by the Gulf. Beautiful! And the beach on the bay side was a nice fall back when the gulf side was too busy or not safe to be in the water (storms mid week). The condo was great. More than enough space for a family of 5. Lots of great places to eat and shop, and fun things to do with the kids. Will be looking to stay here again the next time we make a trip to Pensacola.

This was our first stay in Pensacola & loved it! The condo was perfect for our Thanksgiving getaway!

1st off~ Mary was amazing! She was in constant communication with us and made check in seamless. We spent the holiday at the condo with our family & our son who is in the Navy, stationed in Pensacola. The location was exactly what we wanted. Away from everything but still close enough to restaurants. We hope to return!

Second time staying here

This is the second time we booked this same condo! Our family loves how kind and responsive all of the staff is here. We also enjoy the convenience of the sound being on one side and the gulf being right across the street! Our condo is always clean and has extras if we need them! The shuttle is right across the street that will take you uptown for free! We will definitely be back for many more vacations here!

GREAT CONDO

GREAT LOCATION AND BIG ENOUGH FOR OUR FAMILY. WE LOVE HAVING 3 BATHROOMS. OWNER SHOULD UPGRADE TO A STOVE THAT CAN BOIL WATER IN LESS THAN 45 MINUES , LOL, BUT NOT A DEAL BREAKER. PROPERTY MANAGER IS GREAT. YOU CAN TEXT HER WITH ANY QUESTIONS AND SHE IS QUICK TO ANSWER YOU. THIS IS OUR SECOND YEAR STAYING HERE AND WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR.

Amazing condo! Note if bringing small kids

Awesome condo with two large balconies (and big windows) overlooking the pool and bay. Great value, considering 5 adults + 1 kid stayed there very comfortably, and it was very clean. Perfect if you want something quiet away from the craziness of town, but not too far away. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, slow cooker, etc. Mary is excellent with communication. If you have a toddler or crawler, you might like to know that on the stair landing going up to the loft, there’s a gap where the landing doesn’t completely meet the wall. (I took a picture to include in the review, but I guess pictures can’t be added). It’s a long drop to the floor below. There were baby gates in the loft closet, but the stairs have a floorboard, so the wall is not flush. We were able to put up the gate at a diagonal angle, above/parallel to the floorboard, but there was space under the gate where a kid could possibly crawl under it. Anyway, we put up the gate like I described, and our toddler stayed away from it, no issue. My husband and I and our toddler stayed in one of the rooms on the lower level and other family stayed in the loft. I know this is long, and we did love our stay there, just thought other parents of small kids might like to know. We had an excellent time!

Nice, Quiet Condo

It was very clean and a nice location. You can take the trolley to the main beach, walk across the street to the Gulf or relax on the sound. The condo is roomy and very nice. I definitely recommend. The only suggestion I have would be to put blinds in the bathroom.
