Great home right on the beach! The kitchen is very well stocked. The wet bar area was convenient as well with an ice maker.The balcony is spacious and such a great place to unwind after a day on the beach.There is an extra refrigerator in the garage which was super helpful!Unfortunately there was construction on the beach in Pensacola which could not be helped but we were offered transportation to the public access if we needed.I would absolutely stay here again!Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We come to Pensacola every summer for a week, and typically have about 12 of us stay together. This house was a great choice for us! The teenagers loved that it was close to the action of the main beach to ride bikes over there. And it was wonderful being right on the water! We spent a lot of time on the back decks!

quick getaway

Everything was great from location to the house itself. We did have a few hiccups with appliances. Management was quick to respond to address and try to fix. One issue made the stay rather frustrating being a ongoing problem. I only hope that the next vacationers are as forgiving and understanding as my wife was with this issue. Overall we would love to stay here again!!! Great Place.

Extended Family beach trip

House layout worked well for us. Not very clean found trash and hair lots of places. Tv down stairs stuck on demo mode. Beach access was great. Having key entry was a hassle, a digital check in code would be nice. Instructions for all the amenities would be nice as there were a ton of switches we did not know what they went to. Overall worked for what we needed but needs some TLC.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My group of 16 people came together for a family reunion over a mid-October weekend at Ariola 116, and we couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The property is exactly as pictured with gorgeous gulf views from the main living area and multiple bedrooms, and it is within walking distance to the restaurants and attractions at Quietwater and Casino beaches. The house is very clean and well maintained and the check in and out process was extremely easy. I would love to stay there again in the future and will recommend Ariola 116 to any friends or family who are looking for a place on Pensacola Beach.

Chilly the first few days but we bundled up and spent time on the beach. Then it warmed up in the 60s! The children were thrilled that Santa found them and loved the spiral staircase. Accommodations were great. Comfy beds and plenty of towels.
