About this property

Spacious downtown, modern cottage perfect for family, pups & catching the Blues!

When you stay with us, you will find that Auer House (pronounced “our”) is a modern home close to everything you need. It’s cozy, super clean, and has a hardwired workspace. Every room has a closet, smart TV, ceiling fan and overhead lighting. The fenced-in backyard includes Adirondack chairs and fire pit as well as a patio area.

Auer House is less than 1.5 miles from the heart of downtown Pensacola, 20 minutes from the these most beautiful beaches, and 15 minutes from NAS Pensacola and the famous Blue Angels. Sit on the front porch and catch a glimpse of them as they practice, and hear the roar of the engines! We have restaurants and a brewery within walking distance. Sanders Beach is a quick 7 minute drive away. You'll also find a newly built dog park just across the street adjacent to a park for everyone else! (We do have a $65 pet fee for their stay.) Each bedroom has its own closet, blackout shades, and memory foam mattresses for a great night's sleep. We have a kitchen stocked fully with all the tools you need to fix a quick breakfast or gourmet meal! A separate living space offers a workspace and comfy sectional to watch TV. Beach towels will be provided upon request. Please give me two-day’s notice. And, of course, we offer contactless check-in with our front door doorbell camera and keypad!

Auer House is available for short-term or longer-term rentals. And we love our military! My dad was a Navy veteran, so please ask me about our military discount. It’s the least we can do! Pensacola was just ranked 31st in U.S. News & World's Reports "Best Cities" list and 1st in Yahoo Finance's 5 Best Florida Cities To Retire! Come see why!

Very attractive and comfortable property! Extremely convenient location for watching baseball at Blue Wahoos stadium (5 minute drive)! The home was well stocked for our 4 night stay-no need to buy dish soap, garbage bags, etc. If you have a dog, the fenced dog park across the street would be great!! Would definitely stay again!! Check in and check out was easy.

More than Met Expectations

The home was very clean and very nicely decorated. Amenities abound, the house had everything we needed and more. The fenced backyard was very relaxing with comfy chairs. And our puppy loved the house too. Susan had everything for a dog, in case we may have forgotten something. It is centrally located to just about everything in Pensacola. And our host, Susan, was great - very responsive and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful home

Cannot say enough about how nice this property is and how good the host was. This was probably the cleanest and nicest vrbo that we have ever stayed in. Great for pets as there is a dog park directly across the street. Back yard with gas fire pit was a bonus for hanging out in the evening. Will definitely stay again.

Very pleased

Susan worked with us so that we could get in the house early to get ready for my son’s graduation. Very accommodating. Super nice. The location is close to the downtown area and the water. Not walking distance though but still close. I would recommend this house. There is also a very nice dog park right across the street. There looked like a small play ground for the little ones too.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Nitterauer

Host profile image
As a former inn manager, I'm accustomed to taking care of my guests. And it's my pleasure! That means you'll have everything you need to be comfortable including extra blankets and pillows, throws, and towels. Cleanliness is of utmost importance to me. I want my guests to know that everything has been cleaned and sanitized for your safety and comfort. If remote work is important, we have a hardwired workstation, and the Wi-Fi is fast at 422 Mbps.

Why they chose this property

My dad used to work downtown, and that was when Pensacola was a sleepy little place. I loved it then, and I enjoy the heck out of it now. It has grown up so much and so quickly! When my husband and I saw this home being built a few years ago, it was instant love. The location is great, it's quiet, and the design is perfect no matter how long you stay! Pensacola is the home of Naval Aviation, and our Blue Angels call NAS Pensacola home. Some afternoons from the front porch, you might see them practicing their stunts! And we're centrally located to many restaurants and bars that are walkable!

What makes this property unique

Within a five-minute car drive, you can be at the famous Joe Patti’s to pick up your favorite fresh seafood, Everman’s, a health-oriented grocery store with most anything you could need, and Wahoo Stadium to catch a Miami-affiliated AA baseball game. And if you love baseball as much as we do, hit me up! We have great seats we're happy to share! It's a gorgeous setting! Banks, restaurants, art galleries, breweries, and quaint shops are also downtown.
