About this property

Spacious kitchen and living area. Enjoy Gulf front dining on outside deck.

An ideal house for small events, this 2,920 square foot home sleeps up to 14 people and is directly on the Gulf of Mexico.

The front entrance at 1004 Ariola Drive, with its grand double staircase and wrap around porch, leads into the open and spacious kitchen, living, and dining area. The kitchen, furnished with stainless appliances, lots of prep area, and a large breakfast bar, opens up into the living/dining space. This space includes three comfy couches, an arm chair, and a dining table seating up to 10 people.

The master bedroom is located off the living area. This bedroom opens to the Gulf side deck, and the huge master bath features two pedestal sinks, separate shower and garden tub, and an oversized walk-in closet. A short hallway past this bedroom leads to a large laundry room. Across the living room, bedroom 2 has a queen bed and large private bath. Bedroom 3 has two sets of twin bunk beds. Here there is a large hall bath that also services the living area. Bedroom 4, also known as “kid paradise,” is located up the stairs on its own upper level. This bedroom has a twin bed, another bunk bed with twin on top and Full on the bottom, and an additional Full bed. The windows in this bedroom overlook the great room downstairs. The large hall bath has a double vanity and the arched windows on this level make it a very unique space.

The Gulf side deck offers a full sized dining table, a gas grill, and lots of seating. There is an outdoor shower and the covered area below the house is large and open for lots of parking or event space.

This house is in a great location BUT once you walk in you are slammed with a musty old smell. The house needs a complete renovation including a new HVAC system. We found mildew in the AC closets, multiple stains on the carpet and loose boards outside on the deck. I did not feel comfortable with our toddler walking around out there considering that there were nails sticking out as well as a shaky railing in some places. The blue couch needs thrown away as it sinks when anyone sits on it. And the beach items were useless. They have a closet downstairs with umbrellas and tents, the majority of which are broken. There is one little beach chair and no beach towels. NOT WORTH THE MONEY.

Beautiful Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Paradise Beach Homes is Awesome to work with. The house itself could use some attention; the bunk room on the main floor has inadequate air conditioning making that room really uncomfortable. There are a few stains on the carpet (it would be great if hte owners removed the carpet and put tile) also a lot of Palmetto bugs which are coming inside:(. we have rented this house for 2 years and love that its right on the beach; the house fits our family size and again the Management Co. is awesome to work with.

Loved the house! Totally frustrated by the rental agency.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Check in at 5pm is ridiculous. Internet did not work, nor did the outdoor grill. Office said there was nothing they could do until tomorrow. I persisted. Finally sent someone and we were able to eat dinner at 8:30pm. Next day, the office had no idea that we had no internet (different personnel- no communication) I persisted. Finally fixed by mid afternoon. At $500 per night, we expected a little more. Asked to extend checkout by 2 hours, office personnel said 'wait until tomorrow and call Joe' I just gave up. I will never use this agency again .

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the second time in three years we have rented this location for family vacation. WE WILL NOT RENT IT AGAIN. House is in a great location, but we had roaches on the porch and then drain fly’s. A exterminator (who was very nice) was sent out and sprayed for the roaches which meant we just spent the next 3 days sweeping up dead roaches. That is better than them crawling on us as we sat on the porch at night, which happened the first two nights. He also sprayed drain fly's as he called them. Those are little black fly's that were all in the master bathroom shower. They left the shower and were all on the walls and towels and sink area. It got worse as we were leaving. Feel sorry for the next people who stay at house. There is also mold all over the master bathroom ceiling. The other problem was the bedroom downstairs with the bunk beds could not be used as was too hot and could not get it to cool down. So, the bedroom and bathroom went unused. As I said we stayed at this house two years ago and had no issues. House needs some attention. Den furniture looks like something from a thrift store as nothing matches.

Good place,a few minor changes would make it great

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed our stay, the location is as about as good as it can get for a laid back beach experience away from the big crowd. The house was very clean and has plenty of living space for multi families to hang out comfortably. My tips to make it better would be to put AT THE LEAST one decent mattress upstairs so an adult couple can sleep comfortably. My other suggestion would be to consider changing the check in/out policy to give people a few more hours. The policy of check in @ 5PM BUT check out by 10AAM is basically taking a 1/2 day. I realize you have to have some time between customers, but 7 hours seems excessive.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. The spacious great room allowed us to game, watch TV, or read all at the same time. The kitchen was well-supplied with cooking essentials. A crockpot and stocked spice rack would be a great bonus. We had a clogged drain and one phone call saw the problem remedied immediately!

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 consisted of 7 family members and 2 friends, 9 total. We had a great week in this spacious, clean and beautiful home. Kitchen was amazingly well stocked with cookware and dishes. Gas stove too! Deck was great! Lots of seating in shade or sun. Bathrooms were spacious and very clean. Lots of towels. Downside, couches were a bit shabby, mattresses not very comfortable. A/C in queen bedroom was difficult to regulate (too cold). If I could come back, I would not hesitate to book it again. I do wish check in could be earlier.

Location Location Location!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gulf breeze is a great little town. Very safe (ever present police patrols!), delicious restaurants, lots of shopping options, clean and exquisite beaches, perfect environment for families looking for a relaxing beach vacation! Paradise Beach Homes staff are incomparable, going above and beyond to assist when needed! The only downside was construction noise and traffic congestion of a home being built directly next door; but that is a temporary situation... The home is right on the beach with its own private access. Entire place is well stocked and even the porch furniture is plentiful. Bathrooms are like brand new, appliances all well maintained, layout of the home is great for families, plenty of seating for all, two bedrooms have multiple bunkbeds making it perfect for those with lots of littles! *Rent a golfcart for going out; you won’t regret it!! So much fun riding in the breeze on the way to dinner is hard to beat!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the house! The view is stunning. The kitchen is so well equipped...it was a pleasure to work in. The only thing I can say is that the bunks are not made for grown ups celebrating 70th birthdays. It was a challenge to get up off the floor. And we’re afraid to roll out at this age! lol. I did get to see the executive suite...what a delight! 1004 Ariola Drive is a fantastic spot for a large family whether you’re related or not.

Great location and view

Nice big house with plenty of room for all. Deck is awesome! Not luxurious, but utilitarian. If I were to change anything, it would be to replace the living room sofas; they are old and appear well worn/mismatched (pillows and sofa back and arms). We had a nice stay and there was room for a small event (15 or so people) both on the deck and inside. Pictures are accurate and everything worked just fine, including the outside grill.

Perfect place

This place was exactly as we hoped it would be. The beds were comfortable, the view was gorgeous, the kitchen was fully stocked, the furnishings were comfortable and clean. I loved it here and would recommend booking this home. We were two families with teens and young children and everyone was comfortable.

Steps From Gulf, Spacious Common Room & Deck

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outstanding location, right on the beach, very close to the water, and terrific views of the Gulf. Well maintained. Great master suite. Ample sleeping accommodations for our complement of 5 adults and 4 grandchildren with room for several more kids, and plenty of room to gather in living room/dining area and on the spacious (largely-covered) water-facing deck. Well-equipped kitchen, including a big array of pots & pans,cooking utensils, glassware & dishes. Only kitchen drawback is a single (albeit fairly large) refrigerator and no ice machine. Covered parking for 4 vehicles. We have re-booked for next year.
