Family home , Large salt water pool, not heated, and tropical courtyard
About this house rental
Situated in Pensacola, this lovely house for $229 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. Our sentimental family home is filled with the warmth and charm of loving parents over 40 years. Our family uses it when not rented and intends to keep the existing décor to preserve many wonderful memories that we have enjoyed over the years. It is in the Scenic Heights area of Northeast Pensacola. The Master bedroom includes a deep mattress queen bed, Large TV, walk in closet and the Master bathroom has a 6’ shower. The second bedroom has a deep mattress double bed with TV and mirrored closets. The third bedroom has two deep mattress twin beds and a large TV. There is a full bathroom across from the Twin bedroom. The spacious family room includes a 70” TV, Cherry wood dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. The laundry is equipped with full size washer and dryer and stocked with cleaning supplies. The driveway is extra wide for multiple cars with a single car garage. The spacious Florida room overlooks the large saltwater pool (generally preferred over chlorine pools) and tropical courtyard, all enclosed with a privacy fence. The beautiful pool is a lazy L shape, well maintained and larger than most since it was built in the 70's. The pool is for private use of guest during their stay. The pool is maintained generally twice a week. Extra amenities included a grill with charcoal provided, beach and pool towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella. Evenings in the courtyard have a serene ambiance created by the Corinthian Bell Wind chimes, surrounding fence lights, two fountains and pool light. A neighborhood park for the children is a walk around the block. Pensacola Int’l Airport and Cordova Mall are 6 minutes away with grocery stores also as close. Pensacola Beach is a 20-25 minute scenic drive along Escambia bay. Downtown is an energetic place, only 15 minutes away where you will find the famous Seville Square, Saenger Theater and many shops and restaurants gathering close to the Bay. To help you with more local interest, we have created a book that includes details of other places to enjoy during your stay with us.

Two of us slept in the house while caring for 2 visiting grandbabies daily. The kids had owners’ approval to use the pool. I’d post all of the texts to illustrate problems with the stay, but VRBO forbids it. The house isn’t as advertised, and we had to file a police report while there. The owners informed us they retain digital/online copies of all tenants’ drivers’ licenses (DLs) for background checks. We had a fraudulent debit card charge the day after sending them our DL. We therefore formally request in this complaint that the owners destroy all copies (Paper/Digital) of personal information, and assure no records are held by anyone they have forwarded info to. The owners had a Wi-Fi thermostat & knew the HVAC wasn't working before our arrival but didn't contact us. After 4 days of high temps and an intense exchange with the owner; we vacated the property (from days 5-7) while a complete inside & outside HVAC system was replaced. Our refund request for remaining days was refused so we returned on day 8 (prior to work completion); when some prescription drugs disappeared: hence a police report. The house smelled of plug-in-air-fresheners & mold. None of the kitchen appliances functioned properly. Paint was peeling throughout. Wi-Fi and TV reception failed daily. You’re under Constant surveillance (cameras & listening). Daily network failures drove frantic requests to check out the premises. We feel owners were never completely truthful. Owners also don't live here.

This property is very clean and nice. It is exactly as explained. The pictures are accurate. It’s well stocked with nice towels and kitchen supplies. The family who owns this home clearly have fond memories here. It has not been updated- which was fine with us- but know it is a grandparents home.
I attempted to type more, but there are limited characters in the review- so I guess the most unusual:
The owner, very nice, but will want to meet you- as in -made plans to meet us the day after our arrival to explain house rules and meet our family. She made it clear she only rents to families now after bad experiences- stating she does not rent to “construction workers” or “a couple of 30 year old girls” concerned about people having parties. She also explained how to use the leaf blower so we could blow off the patio each morning to keep the pool clean. It did not really upset me-but unusual to be asked to do yard work? Especially when they have a guy come and clean the pool and a robo cleaner. A meeting to confirm we could read and understand the house rules- in all of the renting we have done- this was a first. She even mentioned having looked at a guest’s trash to confirm it was “party trash” with cups etc. Not bad- just unusual. It’s bugged my husband more than me. (We have never had less then 5 star review as guests)
Again- a review should be helpful and honest. It was a sweet place/not a bad stay- just different

We had a great stay. The house is nice and comfortable. I loved the florida room. We were just close enough to lots of things to do and good food to eat. Angela was helpful but gave us privacy. We hope to be back!

Return yearly trip
This is our go to house for vacation. Nice quiet neighborhood, awesome pool and close enough to beach, food, and any store you need to go to. Owner is available and easy to work with. Security cameras outside but not needed because we have never had any problem with anyone coming on the property. We will be back next July to fish and play at the beach and visit with family

Angela was wonderful to work with. The home is so lovingly cared for, neat and stocked incredibly well. Much better than condos that give you very little. Would love to stay here again.

Welcoming and comfortable
My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home while we visited a family member in the hospital nearby. It was a last minute booking and the owner, Angela, graciously waved some formalities to come to our aid. This is clearly a well loved and meticulously maintained family home. The neighborhood is quiet and the backyard/pool area is private and beautifully landscaped. Would love to visit again in a happier time and bring extended family.

This property is a family home that the family still uses when not rented. It felt more “home-like” than other VRBO. The owner met us at checkin and gave us a tour, family history of the house and suggestions for while we visited. They communicated very well and we had a wonderful time. We need to come back in the warmer months when we can enjoy the pool more. This is a great property for when you want to relax and enjoy your company, this is not a party house and it was very relaxing. Thank you for everything.

Perfect for home
This house was a perfect home for our family on vacation. It had everything we needed plus more. We were unable to try out the pool due to the weather but the patio area was perfect to relax on. Angela was an amazing host! We can't wait to return In warmer weather.

This home is a solidly built, well kept, older home that is exactly as described. The amenities are above what one would expect in a short term rental property. Angela was easy to communicate with and offered suggestions on where to shop, places to eat and etc. The pool and Florida rooms were our favorite parts of the home and we made use of them daily! Angela provides a book of important things to remember (because you never remember every detail :-)) and she was great about texting us a heads up when someone was coming to the house (eg: lawn and pool person) - we also made use of the outdoor shower and garage during our stay. Great home, great location and great owners (even if they are Saints fans ;-) )

A very nice home. Me and my wife enjoy your stay. The house was clean and warm. The house you could tell that it was filled with good family moments and made the stay better. Mrs. Angela was very nice and kept me well informed upon my arrival. If I needed anything, which was once, she was there. Thank you Mrs. Angela for the use of your home.

Angela was an amazing hostess. We arrived in the evening to a few lamps on with jazz playing on the TV - loved this extra touch to make us feel at home. Everything we needed was available for us - down to flashlights for storms (or crab hunting on the beach). She made sure we were all comfortable, bringing by extra padding for the pullout couch, etc. The home was lovely and we look forward to staying again!

Return Florida trip
Second year to stay here. Close enough for us to the beach because of the nice pool in the back yard. Safe neighborhood and shady, peaceful backyard. The additional twin beds in the third bedroom was a great addition also. Fish didn’t cooperate for us but had family to visit with and beach time.
