We stayed for a week at this cottage. It was exactly as represented. It's exceptionally clean and well furnished. It has a small, fenced back yard and off street parking (which is really important in this district). You can walk to many good restaurants and bars as well a downtown entertainment venues. A great location for couples.

Nothing but Praise
This was one of the cleanest and best-equipped houses I have ever rented. The owner (Chuck) & manager (Gloria) made check-in easy, they answered me immediately, and everything worked! The art decorations and personal details were amazing, and the kitchen made me wish I could have stayed longer and done some gourmet cooking -- it had everything. I love the house, I love Seville Square, and I love Pensacola (I lived there for 10 years). You can literally walk to everything but the beach & Naval Museum from this house... to all the downtown shops, theaters, & restaurants. My only regret is that I don't live in that little house so I had to leave.

Perfect Pensacola Cottage
The cottage was more than we expected! My husband and I travel to Pensacola often and love to stay in the downtown/Seville area and I think we found our new perfect spot! The cottage was expertly decorated, extremely comfortable, thoughtfully stocked, and conveniently located. A complete wow!

Thank you for considering staying with us during your visit to Pensacola.

About the Owner:
Whether you are coming for business, pleasure, or visiting family, we think you will enjoy all of our cottages and neighborhoods located in the Seville Historic District of Downtown Pensacola: Caroline Cottage (2BR, 1 BA); MTR Cottage (1BR, 1 BA) and our newest short-term rental, Church Street Cottage ( (1 BR, 1.5 BA). We have been managing vacation rentals for over 20 years and our priority is the comfort and safety of our guests while they experience a quality stay. We are a family who long ago were Pensacola Beach lovers—drawn to the beauty of the white sands and the emerald waters. Then, just like that, Hurricane Opal landed, destroying our home and way of life. Afterward, we found refuge in downtown Pensacola's Seville Historic District. It wasn't long before we fell in love with the area—a peaceful and charming neighborhood. Walkable to restaurants, theater, museums, and the vitality of Palafox St. There are many reasons we are rooted here.

Most importantly, the warmth of the people in our community makes this our home. A fantastic place to live and a romantic hideaway for visitors to explore.
