Awesome property!
My family and I were in town to visit my son for his birthday. The house was so clean and cozy and accommodated our needs perfectly. It is also in a great location. It was easy to get an Uber trip downtown to celebrate his birthday in Seville quarter. We had everything we needed in the house. Bill and Mindy were easy to get ahold of and checked in on us throughout the trip. They even made sure we got there and did not have any trouble accessing the property. There was also a nice basket of snacks and coffee left for us along with some waters in the fridge. That is nice to have after you have been on the road for a few hours. I also recommend checking out the little vegan cafe a couple of doors down. They have some great food options and it's a short walk away. There are several other restaurants in walking distance. I would highly recommend staying here. The house is amazing and you will thoroughly enjoy your visit.

Look no further, this is it! Book this home if it’s available. Shanna and her co-hosts were the bests hosts. The home has plenty of everything (beach and bath towels, beach toys, toiletries, bathrooms, places to relax, kitchen goodies including coffee and other cooking staples, blenders galore, disposables, even a party table cloth and table). The home is better than the pictures, it’s so spacious and perfectly decorated and welcoming. The neighborhood is safe and the neighbors even stopped by to say hello. The outdoors spaces are plentiful and peaceful if you’re a nature lover. 26 minutes from Pensacola Beach Boardwalk, shorter than that for everything else. The beds were the comfiest I’ve ever slept in and spotless. The love and care of the owner is felt in all spaces throughout the home. The driveway is steep and there are lots of stairs which wasn’t a problem for us. Loved living here for 3 days, easy rules to follow and overall just the best most fantastic stay!

This was one of my favorite Airbnb stays ever. It was a cozy, comfortable house that truly felt like a home away from home. The decor was charming, quirky, and overall this place had great character. It’s so close to downtown, and a short drive from the beaches, mall, and both bases. Very central to all the places my husband and I wanted to visit. Our favorite spaces were the huge, functional, well-stocked kitchen that was one of the best Airbnb kitchens I’ve cooked in; the spacious backyard with extra foldable chair seating, and a private fence—perfect for pup guests; and the comfortable living room with plenty of entertainment options in the form of books, tv, and games. Our sleep was also great every night and there’s plenty of blankets and pillows to get comfy. Even simple things like bright lighting sometimes get overlooked with places I’ve stayed, but this place was naturally bright with plenty of windows, and various lamps and lighting options in the evening. We also felt safe walking around the neighborhood with our dog; a few run down older buildings but honestly nothing unexpected and a smidge loud since it’s close to the freeway, but we didn’t mind as everything else was so comfortable. House rules were super reasonable, and communication with owners was great. I can’t say enough great things about this place! Would stay here again and again.

Home away from home!
This little house had everything we needed and in a great location. Molly and Doug are very thoughtful and easy to reach! We enjoyed the fenced in back yard for the pups as well! Be aware that the house is “vintage” and some may complain that it’s dated. We loved the homey feel and the pics accurately describe the listing. Also some may care that there are no tvs in the bedrooms. Everything worked as expected and we would definitely stay here again! We loved the binder of recommendations and enjoyed trying many of the hot spots to eat! Thanks again!

Very welcoming and clean!!
We came to Pensacola for the Snow Ball Derby at Five Flags Racetrack. This home was conveniently located. We book trips several times a year and this one was hands down the cleanest we have stayed in. Lots of room for our group!! Very welcoming and felt like home. The Host were great during booking and very responsive. Im sure they would have been accommodating during our stay, but I had no need to reach out for any reason. All the starting necessities were there. Great experience at this rental!! Highly Recommend!!
