About this property

Modern Home with Heated Pool, Game Room, and 4 miles to the Beach!

Rosie's Retreat is one of our Poochella Villas vacation rentals that supports animal rescue, with 20% of the proceeds from this home donated to animal rescues around the country.
Rosie's Retreat is a spacious 4 bed/3 bath pool home, with large dual suites, that can accommodate up to 10 guests. It has a very private, spacious full suite on one side of the house that has french doors to the Florida room. This suite has a king size bed, a futon bed, sitting area with bar sink and fridge, walk in closet, and an enormous bathroom with a walk in shower built for 2 with dual showerheads, and a double sink vanity.
On the other side of the house is a second spacious suite, also with a king size bed, sitting area, large closet, and full bathroom with a walk in shower and double sink vanity.
This side also has 2 additional bedrooms, both with queen size beds. They share a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and also a dual sink vanity.
The back of the house has a spacious enclosed Florida room with a lounge area with patio furnature, and outdoor dining tables.
Outside the Florida room is the pool to cool off during the warm sunny days!
The garage has been converted to a game room with a full sized ping pong table, air hockey table, fooseball table, corn hole, and giant jenga.
The home has a large driveway with plenty of room for a boat. The home has a well appointed kitchen, washer/dryer, 4 smart tvs, bbq grill, and wireless internet.
Rosie's Retreat is located in Gulf Breeze, Florida, just 3.6 miles from Pensacola Beach, 5.8 miles from Pensacola Dog Beach, and just minutes from various Gulf Island National Seashore areas. It's also located less than 7 miles from downtown Pensacola, where you'll find unique restaurants, fine dining, museums, and more. Pensacola is the home of the Navy's Blue Angels, where you can often see them flying tight formations over the city and water from March-November.
The home is located less than a mile from a public boat launch, and a half mile from a large park with a dog park, disc golf course, skate park, splash pad, playground and more.
Up to 3 Dogs welcome with an additional fee of $150. Dogs must be crated if left unattended. No smoking of any type allowed inside or in the Florida room. No events or parties are permitted. A maximum of 10 guests are allowed to stay in the home, and must be at least 25 years old to book. The pool is not fenced, and has a deep area so children need to be supervised at all times. There's a $40/day pool heat charge if you'd like the pool heated.
This home is under a pest control by a professional company, but in Florida's climate, insects are around throughout the year so please don't leave any of the doors open to allow for unwanted entry. Refunds will not be given if a few insects are found in the home.
This home features a Ring Doorbell device with an exterior security camera facing the front outdoor entry, and the camera does not look into any interior spaces. There is also a security camera facing the pool. Footage is only reviewed if an incident in the pool occurs.

Pleasant Stay

Nicely updated home in a cute, cozy neighborhood. Easy drive over to Pensacola Beach. Had one small issue with the A/C. Drain line was clogged which caused it to shut off. We let the property host know and it was fixed in a couple of hours ,even being a holiday. I would definitely recommend Rosie’s Retreat!

Kitchen was beautiful but like most rentals in my opinion, you still need to bring your favorite cook pots/pans. There’s “basics” provided. Home is located in an established well kept neighborhood.

Great stay with plenty of room

We had a great stay here. The home was clean and modernly appointed. Communication with the owner was always met with a prompt response. We didn't need all 4 beds, but if you did, you'd still have plenty of space to spread out. We had our pup with us, so having the fenced in yard was nice for her to roam while we enjoyed the pool. If I had to find a gripe it would be the grill. It was very rusty and the middle burner was collapsing. Time for a new one. Other than that it was a 5-star stay!

Very nice property

This was a very nice place to stay. Very spacious for our family of 6. Very clean home, and just very nice overall. The pool was great for us! We paid extra for the heat for the pool, and used the pool all week. Very nicely located between Pensacola and Pensacola Beach. Lots of options closeby for restaurants, groceries, and entertainment. Only negative we found was that the living room furniture was not very comfortable for as nice as the house was. The main couch was a futon, and the loveseat was similar. We would stay here again if visiting this area in the future!

Highly recommend!

This is only one of few places that allow more than 2, and large, dogs. Also one of the few that have a privacy fenced in yard, which is great for dogs. I love that this place donates for animals, and the listing is very accurate. You can find dog beaches and dog parks, and many dog friendly places close. There are also many kid friendly items. It’s close to many restaurants and convenient stores. Any question I had, the manager replied right away. I recommend and will stay again in the future! Thank you!

must love dogs to stay here!

The inside was nicely decorated, and the bathrooms have beautiful tile showers, with the best water pressure. Very convenient to the Beach and Festival Grounds at Pensacola Maritime Park. If you are not a dog person, this is not the place for you. Dog hair all over, even after I called and they re-cleaned. Dog hair in the towels and on all of the bedding. The outside could use some work around the pool and in the playroom. Overall we had a good time.

Large and Modern

This is a great place for family to gather. The 2 en-suite rooms are large with tables in both sides of the bed and large, updated bathrooms. The other 2 rooms are nice size with big closets for storage. The living room is large and there is plenty of seating in the kitchen. If you plan to cook, this property lacks space for food storage and the kitchen is modestly stocked with pans. Although we didn’t use it, the pool is a great feature with plenty of outside seating. The ping pong table is also a plus for families. My only complaints are the lack of seating in the living room for the number of bedrooms (assuming 2 people per room) and an awkward (but prettty) kitchen. It is conveniently located between Pensacola and the outer island. Getting to either is quite easy. Host was very responsive during our stay.

Could not have been much better.

First off communication with owner was great. House was super clean when we walked in. Pool was a little dirty but pool guy came the day after we checked in so can’t complain about that. We can’t help what the wind blows into the pool. Beds were all super comfortable sheets and towels all nice and clean. Owner let us check in a little early after a long drive in from Texas so that was awesome . Checking out was easy most places want you to strip down beds and some even start a load of laundry for them. All the owner asked is for us to start the dishwasher with any dirty dishes we had left. Which was clearly easy. I would for sure stay here again for the amount of room you have in this house and the price you can’t beat it. Super near everything from shopping to the beach. Not walking close but she clearly has it in the listing 4 miles and it is spot on. Just a few min from the Walmart or Publix to stock up the food. The only negative I would say and this was nothing that would stop me from renting again. But may help you in packing for a trip is the cooking pans are limited. No big skillet for cooking larger meals. House holds a lot of people so for breakfast for example you need a bigger pan for making lots of scrambled eggs. Like I say that was the only thing we had to go grab extra so not the end of the world. I highly recommend staying in this house.
