About this property

Unique features such as soaring 11 foot ceilings, original stained glass windows and an ornate grand wood staircase.

The space
One of Pensacola’s architecturally significant Victorian homes. Built originally in 1904 for the Thomas W. Brent, Jr. family. It has also been a hotel, a bed-and-breakfast, an advertising agency, and many more. Previously featured in Southern Living Magazine. The house construction initiated in 1902 by Steamboat Captain James M. Flynn and was completed around 1904 when the Brent family moved in. While this home has served many roles throughout its history, many of the charming historic details remain intact today. This includes the ornate wooden staircase in the foyer, 7 original fireplaces each with a unique hand carved wooden mantel. A favorite detail are the stunning stained glass windows throughout the house!

Guest access
Guests will have private access to the entire home, yard, porch and deck. There is parking around the back of the home that can accommodate approx 7-10 vehicles if organized well.

Other things to note
Being a 100+ year old home staying here is a little different than staying in a modern construction home. Please be mindful of low railings and fragile elements.

-No events or parties without prior permission.
-No smoking or vaping of any kind inside the house.
-You will be responsible for the safety and conduct of individuals in your group.
-Report any damage immediately

Evacuation stay

Due to an impending hurricane we were placed under a mandatory evacuation, we luckily were able to stay at this gorgeous home that was large enough for our entire family. Despite the reasoning for our last minute trip and stay the owners were excellent and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this home.

Sisters Wedding Weekend

I stayed in the house with my sisters and extended family for my niece’s wedding. The kids took over the media room and enjoyed their space having fun. The adults were found with morning coffee on the porch and wine in the evening in the parlor. The house was exceptionally clean and provided many comforts. It’s a beautiful home with a quick walk to downtown. I highly recommend it to a large group visiting Pensacola!
