The Driftwood Haus: A Minimalist Beach Cottage
Absolutely loved staying here. Host was extremely responsive. We had a tiny little hiccup with a small cleaning issue but was quickly resolved.

Luxury Beachfront Home 2000sf.4 Bdrm Dog’s Welcome
Very nice place to stay. It was clean and the amenities were great. The location is perfect. Definitely would recommend.

Family Friendly Townhome - Close To The Beach!
This was our second time staying here. It's clean and spacious. I love how close it is to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to have a couple home cooked meals and even did a little baking! Beautiful place and another wonderful time with the family.

Water Front & Dog Friendly Beach Retreat
We had a fantastic stay at this property during our Spring Break trip! The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the amenities we needed. The host was responsive and provided clear instructions, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The location was convenient, close to local attractions and dining options. We especially appreciated the cozy living area where our family could relax after a day of exploring. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

Walk to beach, pet-friendly
The perfect getaway vacation place for you and your fur babies. The house was perfect for our needs. The only thing that was lacking was kitchen amenities. Then again, she didn’t list that it was a fully stocked kitchen either. You will have the dishes and cookware but amenities such as cooking oil and spices aren’t available. Looks like what other guests had purchased and left. Not a deal breaker for me because she had coffee filters!!! There’s also a Keurig there that isn’t listed in the post so if you like to use pods you’re in luck. All in all a great place in an ideal location!! We would definitely stay there again!!!! Thanks Ashley!!

Steps to Beach|Ocean Views|PuttPutt| Dog-Friendly
My family enjoyed our stay. The location is literally steps from the beach. EXTREMELY clean. Normally we find random pet fur, hair from previous guests, or smells from pets, but this location didn’t have any of that. Everything was super clean upon arrival. As a family with littles, I appreciated the baby gates and connecting rooms on the main level. Plenty of space for our family of 5. Hosts were responsive and provided great insight prior to our visit. I would definitely recommend this listing for your next beach adventure. I’m sure we’ll be back!

As Good As It Gets 1.5 min to beach! Dog friendly
The house is so cozy and only steps away from the beach! It’s had two great porches with views of the ocean. There are all the amenities of home. I forgot to bring my fan (I travel with it because I like the noise) and they had several available for use. There are two great swings under the house along with an outdoor shower. Paul was very quick to communicate and a very helpful host. I will definitely be back!

Apr27-May3 Open, Pet Friendly, Backyard Beach
The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. It was so peaceful on the back deck with the pelicans, seagulls, squirrels and big beautiful blue heron visiting everyday. Loved watching the boats pass. It was close to the main strip, but far enough away that our stay was quiet and relaxing. Would stay here again

OWB Beach House a short1/2 block walk to the beach
Great location, some wear and tear on the house but it's near the ocean and is to be expected. Had a few issues that were resolved in a timely matter. All in all it was a great trip

Free Heated Pool Discounts 6bd/4ba Steps2Beach
We had a wonderful stay! The home was very clean, spacious, and even better than the pictures. The front porch quickly became our favorite spot! This was the perfect place to enjoy the peaceful beach atmosphere. The location is very ideal for us, offering a private beach experience that made our stay feel truly special. Ashleigh was a fantastic host—very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout our trip. We would absolutely love to book again in the future. Highly recommended!

Beach bliss with private pool
This house has a great location with privacy and also still being close to the beach and all that Pensacola beach has to offer. Backyard was very nice to hangout and enjoy the sunshine and sit around the pool. All the decks are great to hangout out on and enjoy the weather. Would definitely go back in a heartbeat!

Relaxing beach escape with pools
Loved this place! Each of the 3 bedrooms had their own full bathroom which was wonderful! Plenty of bath towels. Kitchen was the best-stocked kitchen of any AirBNB we’ve ever rented: tons of pots and pans, plates, silverware and anything else we needed was right there in the kitchen. Our favorite part of our stay was the condos being right on the beach. I don’t believe there is a public access to this huge section of beach and it showed… we walked miles up and down the coast and maybe went past a dozen couples/families. We drove down to a public beach to see it and what a difference—packed down there! We toured Fort Gaines (highly recommended) and went to the cute little aquarium on the island. We were lucky to see a dolphin swimming in the gulf off the boardwalks behind the aquarium. Loved our stay and hope to come back someday. It was the perfect quiet retreat! Anna was very responsive when we had a couple of questions during our stay. Definitely recommend her as a host.

QQ - Pets Allowed Beach House sleeps 10 with Pool
Enjoy our visit, the house was comfortable, clean and felt like home.

Pool Private Beach Perfect!
I really enjoyed staying here! I love the verticality of the home. It's great! It was easy to get in and out of the condo complex, and it's a short walk (or drive -- there's free parking along the road nearby) to the gulf side of Pensacola Beach. I had some work meetings while I was there and it took me all of 5 minutes to get from the beach back to the house. There are many restaurants and convenience stores a walk or short drive away. I love that it's on the quieter side of the island but not far away from anything. The place was clean and well stocked. We really enjoyed the balconies for having morning coffee and watching the sunset. The living room has a large couch that is very cozy. The host was very attentive and accommodating. My girlfriend arrived early, so this was a godsend because I arrived much later than planned. The only downside to our stay was some morning construction noise at an adjacent unit, which may be an issue if you have small kids or are a late riser.

Harbor House B20 2 Bed & 2 Bath
We absolutely loved the place. Felt right at home as soon as you entered the door. Gorgeous beach with private access! We will definitely be staying here again our next trip down!

Steps from the Beach | Balcony | Two Outdoor Pools
Perfect cozy home for a weekend getaway. The bed was so comfy!! The house was pristine. The private beach access was great, an easy walk across the street. Quick drive to local bars and restaurants. We will definitely be back.

Amazing views - private water front home sleeps 9
It's easy to feel right at home here! We were a group of 6 and the house was perfect for all of us to sleep comfortably but still have our space. We were staying in Pensacola to visit my niece and this location was perfect so she can come back and forth from base to spend time with us. We loved how relaxing the space was, we really didn't have to leave. We mostly stayed in and enjoyed the MANY! amenities provided. The kitchen was well stocked too so cooking was easy. And nearby is a great Thai food restaurant (Thai Curry House) if you don't feel like cooking. We spent a lot of time out on the water in the kayaks, enjoyed the amazing massage chairs, and spent the evenings watching the gorgeous sunsets in the hot tub or on the pier. Being here makes you truly appreciate nature. The neighborhood is so quiet and safe. Dennis was such a gracious host and even let us extend our stay. He was also an excellent communicator, we felt very taken care of.

NEW! May Discounts! Beach 5min walk | Golf | Pool
AJ and Jenise were wonderful to work with ... super responsive and helpful! The townhome was lovely and spacious with lots of conveniences. Great idea to label the light switches and the cabinets in the kitchen! We loved sitting on the screened in porch each morning enjoying a leisurely cup of coffee from the fully stocked coffee bar (also a nice touch!) We also were able to take advantage of the BEAUTIFUL private beach (with sugar white sand!) at Lost Key ... a super nice option! We loaded up the wagon (also provided by AJ & Jenise) and just walked on over. We had a wonderful time visiting our son, and this spot was a perfect place to gather. Thank you for being such fantastic hosts!

Rare bay waterfront home with private sandy beach
We spent 1-2hrs on the beach before we even entered the house! This location was perfect!! Close to NAS, 35 min from gulf shores beach for more great food options. The kids couldn’t wait to get in the water (and sand) everyday!

Gulf Front, Best Location, Private Beach, Spacious
Everything was great, matched the listing completely. The private beach was amazing and the beach chairs/toys were perfect for our family. Great location away from the busier tourist area but close enough to get to quickly. Great hosts with clear information and quick responses. Would definitely book again!

Personal Paradise: Townhouse Just Steps to Beach
We had a great week here for Spring Break!!!! The directions were a little off saying the office was located across the street and we never did get codes to any of the doors - however, we lived!:). We would love to stay here again! Thank you!

Baydreamer
We all enjoyed our time at their beautiful home. The home is located in a peaceful neighborhood on a quiet shore, a short drive to many attractions. The house is in great condition and had everything we needed. The morning sunrises were spectacular! If we make our way down to the gulf coast again Daniel and Christy's home will be our first choice.

Coastal Bliss: Private Beach & Stunning Views
The house was immaculate, clean, spacious, private beach, clean hot tub. Couldn't ask for a more classy place to stay, made us feel like we were on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Brand new | On Beach | 4BR | 4BA
Great location!! We were there for thanksgiving so it was quiet in the area while there but it’s probably a great bustling fun area in peek season! We had a great time.
