When evening falls, the pool begins to glow—and the reflections dance across your ceiling.

This landmark Pensacola estate offers something very different from an ordinary hotel stay historic surroundings, a peaceful rear garden, shared pool and spa, and a private apt overlooking it all.

As the garden grows dark and the pool begins to shimmer, reflections from the water create a soft glow that dances across the ceiling. Sometimes the smallest apartments have the best surprises.

Settle into a comfortable queen-size bed and enjoy views overlooking the rear garden and pool of The Old Spanish Consulate. Your accommodation includes a beautiful private bathroom, a small refrigerator, microwave and Keurig coffee maker right in your apt.

One of the apartments' best features is its view. Look outside toward the rear garden, pool and spa, where the water becomes part of the scenery throughout your stay. Morning brings garden views and Florida sunshine. Afternoons invite you downstairs for a swim. You do have stairs to walk up, but nighttime is something different.

As the illuminated pool shimmers outside your window, the movement of the water can cast a beautiful glow across your ceiling—creating an unexpected and romantic end to the day. It's your own little light show from the pool below.
