Thank you for your 4‑star review and for choosing Castle de Playa. We’re glad the property and our communication worked well during your stay. We’re sorry many outlets weren’t working, especially in the second‑floor primary bathroom. Thank you for reporting this while you were there — we notified maintenance and are arranging for a licensed electrician to assess and repair the outlets. We’ll also review the home’s routine maintenance plan with the owner to help prevent this in the future. If you have additional suggestions that would help us earn five stars, please share them via your Vrbo message. We hope to host you again. Warm coastal wishes, Gulf Coast Getaways Team

August Stay

We had a very nice stay. The only small item was the description of the path to the beach was listed as being a good bit shorter than the actual path. But that was not too big a deal - it was so hot! The road and sand were blistering. We enjoyed the house and pool! Thanks, Mark

Great location and room for all 17 of us!

Our family of 17, 8 adults and 9 children ranging in ages from 14 to 2, spent the week! 5 minute walk to a beautiful wide, mostly deserted, white sand, clear water beach! There is a wagon and lots of pool toys and beach chairs available, although the closet is poorly organized and jam packed. Any question or concern that came up was promptly addressed! The beds mattresses could be updated and be aware that there are mostly no dressers for clothing but there are some shelves in the closet. More hangers in each closet would be a nice addition. We would definitely stay here again. And we had a great dinner at The Grand Marlin!

The property was as represented online. The location was is a stone's throw from Pensacola Beach Boardwalk, near anything you could need or want, restaurants, shopping, fishing, nightlife, steps away from the beach and a pool onsite just added to experience. Heed the helpful Hints about what to bring, (especially as it relates to paper towels, toilet paper, etc. The view from the second-floor master is picturesque. We had a group of 20 attending a College Graduation. To my surprise and satisfaction there were plenty of towels and a laundry to wash when needed. I have stayed at vacation rentals where that was not the case. The home was beautifully decorated; the layout accommodated several families with no complaints (always a plus). Upon departure and 200 miles away, we realized we had left an item. I contacted Gulf Coast Getaways, they immediately responded and provided instructions on how to retrieve. The family was very complementary about the property. This property offers everything you need to bring a family together to celebrate in one place. I would not hesitate to reserve this property in the future.

Family vacation!

Overall wonderful property! There were 21 of us over three generations with our kids and grandkids.House could use more large bowls and large platter for house that sleeps 21! Awesome having wine fridge-would have liked plastic wine glasses for around pool !We loved watching the Fourth of July fireworks from the third floor deck!!Not related to the property but we wre surprised at the amount of trash on the beach. We’ve been coming to PCB since the late 70’s and have always loved how clean and natural it was but this year was a disappointment. Hopefully that can be remedied through your local leadership.But we’ll be back-we all love it there

Bucket List Trip

We stayed here with our whole family as a last vacation destination for our grandparents. The house is beautiful and everyone was comfortable during their stay. It's not too far from the beach, about a five minute walk. The huge kitchen and indoor/outdoor dining tables allowed for everyone to cook and dine together, which was the highlight for our week. A few family members had difficulty using the elevator. It was sensitive and if not used precisely it would shut down. Normally it wouldn't be a huge issue, but my grandparents are handicapped and relied on it to get in an out of the house. The response times from the property manager and maintenance were swift however, and we were back on track.

Awesome Family Beach House

Our family of 20 just left this awesome place! Each of our 5 families had a beautiful room and bathroom, and the 10 kiddos shared the comfy bunks. The location is perfect because it’s minutes from restaurants, and nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Best of both worlds! We would book this house again!

Family Stay

Overall this house is nice. There is a discrepancy with checkout instructions. Text states leave bedding on bed; book in the house states remove all bedding and pile on the bed. Also they need a full size Keurig. The one cup Keurig is not sufficient for 20 people.

Pensacola beach family fall vacay

We selected this property because we have 3 generations who love Pensacola beach. We like having a pool on the property for the times we can’t go to the beach due to jellyfish or something else. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and the house was clean, beautiful, and well equipped for a family that also likes to cook some of our meals. Close to many restaurants and shops. Close to a beautiful state park that our family loves. This house is perfect for large families and/or a wedding party.

Comfortable family getaway

Beautifully decorated and very clean. Miner things that need to be fixed but nothing that got in the way of a wonderful stay. The pool was fantastic! The "big kids" loved it. The grill worked great. and having two options was a nice surprise. Plenty of parking space for all the families on the trip. Couldn't figure out how to use the tub, so we didn't use it but the shower in the master was wonderful.
