We loved this place. The location was perfect, close to the beach and the Navy base, exactly what we needed to visit our son with ease. The house is charmingly decorated, cozy and comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. The little dock was a particular favorite with our family, as was the dart board and basketball game. And I especially appreciated the quick and friendly communication. Our whole experience was excellent and we would love to stay here again.

VRBO ReviewThis is our second stay in this same subdivision and we were, once again, impressed by this area. It is safe, quiet, but this home has its own private oasis just beyond a screened in patio. We spent hours bird watching and viewing the leisurely parade of water fowl on the pond from the patio. My husband also enjoyed fishing the crystal clear water from the private pier. Spacious and tastefully decorated, this home was stocked with everything we needed - including comfy beds and furniture - to enjoy our week in Pensacola. Our host (Home Ventures) was very welcoming, informative, and quick to respond to any questions we had. Conveniently located just minutes from the beach, restaurants, Naval Aviation Museum, and Lighthouse, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home and would stay here again.

Excellent Home Next to a Lovely Pond

The property is located on a lovely pond in a quiet subdivision. It has a large backyard surrounded by a privacy fence. The inside the home is spacious and well appointed. It is just a short drive to the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. The management firm of the property is quick to respond to any questions or requests.

This is a very nice home! I was here for a job assignment and brought my wife and small dog. They enjoyed spending time in the large yard and screened porch with such a beautiful view. The host was so considerate to check in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. This home is in a quiet neighborhood and very convenient to shopping.

Absolutely Perfect

This property was absolutely beautiful inside and out. It had everything we needed for cooking and a day at the beach. Taking the kayaks out on the lake gave an amazing view. There was even a shop vac so we were able to vacuum all the sand out of our car before returning home. The neighborhood was very quiet and clean and the beach was only 10 minutes away giving you the seperation from all the noise once you were ready to settle in for the day. I would highly recommend this vacation getaway.

My family and I LOVED this beautiful home! It was super clean, cozy, spacious, close to the beach, restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores. The home itself was outstanding but our favorite room was the "Florida" room attached in the rear. It stayed cool being screened outside and dry even during rain. A beautiful pond view w ducks who visited the dock daily was so relaxing and peaceful. The host was kind and communicated well. It was pet friendly so even our puppy got to come on this vacation and loved every minute. We would love to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone

We had a truly relaxing and peaceful vacation in this serene location. Check in was a breeze, the house was clean, beautifully decorated, cozy and comfortable. We had a wonderful time hanging out by the pond catching fish and feeding ducks and counting turtles! The house is located in a quiet peaceful neighborhood and offers quick access to the beach, shopping, restaraunts and all the attractions the area has to offer! The host checked in via message often and made sure we had every thing we needed. We will definitely stay here again. 10 out 10!
