What a great house! Six adults and two kids and plenty of room! The owner is amazing. It was a bit different in that Joe meets you to give you the keys and show you about the house. You absolutely do not need to bring anything. There are beach chairs, wagons, toys and towels. Even a kiddy pool. The downstairs hangout was fun. Corn hole and other games. We loved our stay but will wait a few years before booking again. It was a bit challenging with a one year old. Not child proof. But once she is a little older we will be back!One other small draw back for my family but not me...no TVs in the two queen rooms.

Happy Hours is your home away from home when you are in Pensacola. We felt spoiled the minute we stepped in, with an amazing house, where everything we could possibly need or think of was there to help you enjoy your time on the beach, to cooking whatever you want for your family. Kids had a blast with the ring hook, corn hole, bikes, boogie boards, games, and more. They were off their iPads & phones. You can’t get any closer to the beach and water than this. This part of the beach was pretty quiet and away from the general public which was so nice. At times we had the beach to ourselves without another person in sight in the mornings and evenings. We kept saying we are at the best spot and house on the block. The view from the dining room and living room couch is breathtaking for us beach lovers. The house has so many special features. Love all the lounging spots all around the house. Loved the wrap around porch and top deck. Had so much fun chilling on the hammock and hanging swings. I almost don’t want to share this review, because Happy Hours is such a priceless gem that we are so grateful finding and don’t want to make it too competitive to book again. The owners are incredible and personable. We appreciate them so very much. They came out and took care of any special requests right away. We felt so well cared for. So many incredible memories were made here with our family. Thank you Happy Hours. We love you and can’t wait to come back one day.

The property was amazing and well stocked! It has anything you can think of. The short walk to the shore is a game changer as you don’t 100 ft of beach to trudge through to get to your spot. We purposely chose this place hoping it was a quiet, family oriented, non crowded beach and this place fits the bill!

About the host

Hosted by Joe and Christina Leonard

Host profile image
We are proud to be locals. We raised our family here on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. This is our private home we wish to share with other families. Wonderful place to create memories!

Why they chose this property

Right across the street from the Gulf...50 yards from the water. Unimpeded Gulf access... like having your very own private beach! The free flowing floor plan allows for easy living in a comfortable, relaxed setting. The 1300 square feet of covered deck space and a 3rd level observation deck offer many places to find your own private piece of paradise and get away from the crowd and just chill! We have a 3-Day minimum rental for every month except JUNE and JULY which are 7-DAY MINIMUM

What makes this property unique

Located right across the street from the Gulf with views of Santa Rosa Sound as well. Great home for large families! Located in a quiet residential neighborhood, no condos in the area, ideal for families with small children.
Imagine spending the day on the Gulf, and never having to use an elevator nor a public restroom! Ha!
