Whether you are a doggo family or not, you can not go wrong staying here. The home was clean, charming and stocked with just about anything you might need. The hospitality and incredible amenities for both us and the doggos was just impressive. Wish I could give it five stars and three paws up. If you are thinking about heading down to Pensacola, this is the place to stay.

The home was so cute! The host had everything you could need - from welcoming snacks to a first aid kit when needed. Our dogs were welcomed with their beds, treats and toys. We could not ask for anything more ... unless it was more time to enjoy all the extras the host incorporated into the home and the beautiful back yard,

Best renal I've ever had. The owners do all they can to make your stay comfortable - lots of little touches. The house, though small, if very comfortable and feels bigger that it is. Highly recommended.

We had the best time at the Lemon Zest Cottage! Our pups felt right at home and had a nice fenced in area to play in.The hosts Betty and Derek are amazing to work with and she has everything you and your pups may need! She went beyond Southern Hospitality! We were pleasantly surprised with how clean the property was. Beds and dog beds were comfy and clean!! Close to NAS Pensacola. We will be back!! This is a 5 star place to stay with or without your pets. Thanks again!! The Flaherty family
