About this property

Flamingo Pad; Dog Friendly Vacation Rental

Welcome to our East Pensacola Heights “Flamingo Pad”!

A three-bedroom, one-bath cottage that features lots of natural light and original hardwood flooring. Bring along your four-legged friends (pet fee required) - they are sure to enjoy the large, fenced backyard; as well as the neighbor Boots who is super friendly dog next door, while you relax in our patio furniture and enjoy the gas grill!

If you enjoy organic veggies, fruits, etc. I can arrange a tour, located directly behind the Flamingo Pad. Just minutes from Downtown Pensacola where we’re known as the “Festival City of the South”, there is always something to do. With easy access to I-110, be sure to head over to Pensacola Beach and Naval Air Station while you’re here!
Please make sure to pay the pet fee of $100; if a pet stays with us undisclosed, a penalty fee of $100 is charged to your account.

East Pensacola Heights is a fantastic neighborhood to walk, run, bicycle. People are friendly. We have Apple Market grocery, New Your Deli, Magnolias, Aunt Katie's, and Jerry's (southern cooking). Walking distance to Texar Bayou, to view beautiful sunsets.

One bedroom is locked off, as it is used for owner purposes only. The rest of the home is all yours, no sharing with anyone else.

Check in is contactless and if you need us; the house manual inside the home gives you our contact info and answers the most commonly asked questions.

The overall house was very clean, but the beds weren't very comfy. The AC had troubles keeping up with the Florida heat, but we were only there to sleep so it wasn't a big deal. There was quite a bit of glass in the yard that we had to pick up because we had our dogs with us and didn't want them to get injured. Other than minor issues we had a great stay. Close to parks and easy walking distance from great restaurants. It was a 20 min drive to Pensacola beach.

Thank you for your feedback and I will investigate the glass youve mentioned. No one has made me aware of that, so thank you

Loved it! Perfect location, quiet neighborhood, adorable roomy cottage, beautifully landscaped front and backyard- great for dogs and kids. Walk a couple of blocks to restaurants and coffee shop, 5 min drive to downtown, and less than 15 min to Pensacola beach (the drive is beautiful crossing over 3 bridges). Easy check in and out and responsive host. Will be back!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property primarily to be directly behind my elderly mom. She's 89 years young and going strong but I like being very close to her. This is my personal home but I rent it out to others so they may experience our beautiful East Pensacola Heights neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

There is a great back yard fully equipped with Bar-B-Que and patio furniture. Walking distance to the bayou, if you'd like to kayak, relax by the water and see the beautiful sunsets. My brother also has a "Food Forest" garden in the yard directly behind. So mossy over and say hello, he'll give you a tour.
