About this property

Couples' Cozy BoHo Haven: Downtown & Beach Bliss

There's something magical that happens when you walk through the door of this 1928 shotgun-style charmer. Guests describe it as an inexplicable feeling—a sense of belonging, of exhaling deeply, of finally being able to just be. This isn't just another vacation rental. It's a place where honeymooners have celebrated their new beginning, where weary travelers have slept better than they have in years, and where friends have gathered on the front porch recounting the day's adventures, not wanting the evening to end.

The heart of this experience starts with comfort that goes beyond the physical. Yes, the king-size memory foam bed has become legendary—guests who normally struggle to sleep away from home find themselves sinking into cloud-like softness, lulled by the gentle overhead fan, waking up genuinely refreshed and rested. But it's more than that. It's the way the bright, playful colors and carefully curated art make you smile. It's how the bold harlequin-patterned hardwood floors and original tongue-and-groove ceilings whisper stories of nearly a century of Southern hospitality. It's the upbeat, classy boho vibe that somehow feels both artsy and deeply welcoming—like visiting that favorite aunt whose home always made you feel special.

What truly sets this space apart are the thoughtful touches that show someone genuinely cares about your experience. Open the refrigerator on arrival and you'll find welcome snacks, bottled water, and sparkling drinks waiting for you. The coffee selection rivals your favorite café. In the bathroom, you'll discover those little makeup remover wipes you forgot to pack. Planning a beach day? There's a rolling cooler, beach chairs, towels, and an umbrella ready to go. Want to cook? The kitchen isn't just equipped—it's actually usable, stocked with every spice, condiment, cooking oil, and even a cast iron pan. These aren't just amenities; they're small acts of hospitality that make guests feel seen, cared for, and genuinely welcome.
The location creates its own kind of magic. You're three minutes from downtown Pensacola's eclectic restaurants, breweries, and wine bars—close enough to walk to everything Palafox Street has to offer. Yet when you return, you're enveloped in the peaceful charm of a quiet, up-and-coming neighborhood. The classic Southern front porch with Adirondack chairs becomes your favorite spot—for morning coffee, evening wine, and those meaningful conversations that only happen when you're truly relaxed. Fifteen minutes away, the Gulf Coast's famous white sand beaches await, but many guests find themselves lingering at the house, savoring the comfort and unwilling to leave.

This is where celebrations happen, where couples reconnect, where solo travelers recharge, and where friends create memories. It's why guests consistently describe their stay as "the best week ever," why they book their return visit before they even check out, and why this home ranks in the top one percent of Airbnb properties. It's not just about the space—though it's been called "the cleanest Airbnb ever" and "beautifully decorated." It's about how you feel here: comfortable, relaxed, at home, cared for, and genuinely happy. That's the real magic of the BoHo Bungalow.

Please note that there is a second private suite at the back of the house. However, each unit has its own private entrance, ensuring your privacy. Shared amenities include a washer and dryer, located in the foyer outside the back guest suite. Rest assured that noise and interactions with other guests are minimal.

This home provides easy access to a vibrant but quaint downtown, where you'll find a wonderful mix of intriguing restaurants, outdoor cafes, wine bars, and hidden gem food trucks. The charming and eclectic Old East Hill neighborhood adds to the appeal, making it a desirable location for your stay.

We had a girls trip, and had so much fun. We played games around the table and ate way too much! Perfect location and wonderful accommodations. Plenty of space for the three of us, and everyone was comfortable.

Delightful Gem

Cozy bungalow, tastefully and artistically decorated, super clean and convenient to great dining & shops. Apparently, Brother Fox is the hottest new restaurant in town and it’s directly across the street. How awesome, after 8 hours on the road, to walk 2 minutes for a fabulous dinner then return ‘home’ to enjoy a night cap on the front porch. We loved this place! The host/owner is great too!

Incredible Pensacola Home

I rented this home for my daughter to get dressed for her wedding which was at the Garden Center on 9th Avenue due to close proximity to wedding venue and couldn't have been more pleased with this charming, historic and extremely clean home. The host was so helpful, check in and out was easy. The amenities were over and beyond expectation. The area was charming and felt safe and so convenient to downtown area. Definitely will reuse this property and have recommended it for the Maid of Honor for her wedding in February.

Funky and comfortable!

We had a blast staying here. The listing was accurately described as”boho,” and was filled with personal touches of southern hospitality and personality. The neighborhood appears to be in transition with original cottages being updated and modernized everywhere. The only problem we had was with the street parking being a little limited, but we juggled things around and made it work. We’d definitely book this again.

Quick stay - worked for us.

The house is well maintained and comfortable. It was very convenient to get to the beach, downtown, and onto highways to head north. The owner is very responsive. The home was also very clean, which is very important to us.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Griffin

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Cathy! A proud Canadian-American who's fallen head over heels for the Southern Gulf Coast. From New Orleans to Fairhope to Pensacola, I’ve embraced the charm, culture, and zest for life of the South. As a host, I love sharing this vibrant lifestyle with travelers.

Whether you’re looking to relax on stunning beaches or explore local culture, my vacation rentals are the perfect getaway. Ready to unwind and soak up those True Southern Vibes? I am looking forward to hosting you!

Why they chose this property

From the moment you arrive, you'll feel what guests consistently describe: this house wraps you in warmth and happiness. The location is absolutely perfect, a quick 3-minute walk puts you in the heart of downtown Pensacola's vibrant restaurants, breweries, and shops. The Bay Center is just two blocks away, and you can literally be digging your toes in pristine white sand in under 20 minutes.

What guests rave about most are the thoughtful touches that show genuine care.
Premium coffee selections that rival your favorite café. Beach gear ready and waiting, cooler, chairs, towels, umbrella, so you can head straight to the Gulf without a second thought. Every detail has been anticipated so you can simply relax and enjoy.

Your host Cathy (6-year Superhost) is what truly sets this experience apart. She responds within minutes via text or call, yet respects your privacy completely.
Before arrival, you'll receive clear instructions and your keyless entry code—making check-in effortless. But here's the difference: Cathy isn't just available, she's genuinely invested in making your stay exceptional.

Need a restaurant recommendation? The perfect beach spot? She shares insider knowledge that transforms good trips into unforgettable ones. Guests consistently call her "the best host ever" because she makes you feel welcomed, cared for, and like you truly matter.

What makes this property unique

Central location here is ideal! Easy access anything you want to do in Pensacola, from beaches, downtown shopping, a wide variety of restaurants at your fingertips, breweries, music, even hiking! A short 2 block walk to Bay Center.

Imagine waking up truly rested—not just hotel-rested, but home-rested—in the softest king bed you've both slept in. You linger over coffee on the classic Southern porch, reconnecting without distractions. This is where honeymooners celebrate, where anniversary couples rediscover each other, and where exhausted partners finally exhale together. The magic isn't just the stunning 1928 boho charm or pristine beaches fifteen minutes away—it's how this space makes you feel: cared for, comfortable, and completely focused on each other. Every thoughtful detail whispers "someone anticipated what you'd need so you can just be together."

The location gives you everything—walk hand-in-hand to craft breweries and romantic restaurants in three minutes, yet return to your private sanctuary where late-night porch conversations flow as easily as the wine. You're close enough to explore vibrant downtown and gorgeous Gulf Coast beaches, yet far enough to truly escape. But here's what couples love most: choosing to stay in, cooking together in the fully-stocked kitchen, sharing stories in the colorful living room, or simply enjoying that rare, beautiful silence where you don't need to fill the space with words.

This Top 1% favorite is where guests sleep better than they have in years, book their return visit before leaving, and consistently say "we didn't want to leave." With Cathy's warm Southern hospitality, spotless cleanliness, and that intangible feeling of being exactly where you're supposed to be, this is where your relationship gets the gift of time, comfort, and undivided attention. It's why couples keep returning—not just to Pensacola, but to this feeling, this home, this experience of truly being together.
