Lucky Thirteen of us made this property our family home for seven days in early March, with our adult kids and their young children. We thoroughly enjoyed our time! This single-level house is comfortably furnished and offers plenty of space with six sizeable bedrooms, each with a full ensuite bathroom. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with two ovens and plenty of pantry and counter space for multiple chefs at the same time. The additional refrigerator nearby in the laundry room also came in handy. The gathering spaces, indoor and out, are large and provided ideal space for everyone to eat, relax and spend time together. The huge front deck was a favorite place to hang out, enjoy the breeze and gulf view, and it gave the grandchildren lots of room to play safely. The crow’s nest was a perfect spot for retreat or to watch some beautiful sunsets. There was plenty of parking under and in front of the house.
The house is located steps from the beach with a sandy access path directly across the street. As this section of the island is primarily residences and rental homes, the beaches were never crowded. The family also enjoyed the safety-gated pool and fenced grounds in the back of the property – we did opt to have the pool heater turned on as the evenings were cool.
The property management company was efficient and very timely in answering the few questions we had and the check-in and out process was seamless. The property was clean and well maintained and we appreciated having access to the elevator for hauling luggage and groceries up to the main level.
Pensacola Beach is a hidden gem, having, in our opinion, the most beautiful beaches and coastline in the US. There are many good restaurants and entertaining bars in the area, and a major grocery store nearby in Gulf Breeze. We visited in early March, just before Spring Break and were blessed with warm temperatures and no rain!
We will definitely be back to Pensacola Beach and highly recommend this property for any large family gatherings.
