About this property

Our sentimental family home is filled with the warmth and charm of loving parents over 40 years. Our family uses it when not rented and intends to keep the existing décor to preserve many wonderful memories that we have enjoyed over the years. It is in the Scenic Heights area of Northeast Pensacola.

The Master bedroom includes a deep mattress queen bed, Large TV, walk in closet and the Master bathroom has a 6’ shower. The second bedroom has a deep mattress double bed with TV and mirrored closets. The third bedroom has two deep mattress twin beds and a large TV. There is a full bathroom across from the Twin bedroom. The spacious family room includes a 70” TV, Cherry wood dining room and a fully equipped kitchen. The laundry is equipped with full size washer and dryer and stocked with cleaning supplies. The driveway is extra wide for multiple cars with a single car garage.

The spacious Florida room overlooks the large saltwater pool (generally preferred over chlorine pools) and tropical courtyard, all enclosed with a privacy fence. The beautiful pool is a lazy L shape, well maintained and larger than most since it was built in the 70's. The pool is for private use of guest during their stay. The pool is maintained generally twice a week.

Extra amenities included a grill with charcoal provided, beach and pool towels, beach chairs, a beach umbrella. Evenings in the courtyard have a serene ambiance created by the Corinthian Bell Wind chimes, surrounding fence lights, two fountains and pool light.

A neighborhood park for the children is a walk around the block. Pensacola Int’l Airport and Cordova Mall are 6 minutes away with grocery stores also as close. Pensacola Beach is a 20-25 minute scenic drive along Escambia bay. Downtown is an energetic place, only 15 minutes away where you will find the famous Seville Square, Saenger Theater and many shops and restaurants gathering close to the Bay. To help you with more local interest, we have created a book that includes details of other places to enjoy during your stay with us. We look forward to having you in our home and helping to make your Pensacola experience wonderful.

Like home with a peaceful backyard and amazing pool

We needed a break from our day to day life, and we're so thankful for Angela's hospitality. Thank you for your kindness and allowing us the opportunity to stay in your childhood home. It was hard not to take a daily nap during the day with the wind chimes singing in the wind (something we also have in memory of my own parents). Great neighborhood, quiet area and the comforts of home. We can't wait to return and listen to the bands on the beach with you, Bill and your friends. We will miss paddling around the pool each morning and evening. We can't say enough great things, and look forward to next time. ❤️

Best family vacation

We drove up to property flabergasted at how clean and prestige the are and home was. The home was clean, welcoming, and more than what my family could've asked for. The pool area was where the kids spent most of their time and they enjoyed every moment. We were able to make memories and have laughs we have yet been able to do as a whole family.

Beautiful home in Ferry Pass

This family property in Pensacola was in a perfect location and offered us the outdoor pool environment we wanted for a summer vacation! My husband, me and our 2 young children enjoyed our stay and would definitely return. Close to a lot of stores, not far from the beach, in a quiet neighborhood (with 2 playgrounds/parks in walking distance). Home was well-stocked with just about everything we might need, we were comfortable and the property owners were very nice! They met us upon arrival to show us around and were always responsive.

Grandkids loved it!

This property was simply perfect for what we needed. The home was clean, welcoming and very comfortable. The pool was immaculate! We had everything we needed in the kitchen and I feel the host went above and beyond what was necessary. It was like staying at the home of a family member. I love that there were family photos throughout the house. I would highly recommend this rental and will probably be returning myself.

A magical backyard oasis and beloved home

We were in town for a graduation and needed a home base away from the chaos of beach traffic. This home is in a quiet neighborhood (I went for a run around the nearby park) and close to everything we needed. The minute my kids walked in they said "this is so cozy and smells like grandmas house", in the best way. It's well loved and maintained and has all the amenities you need. But the gem, is the Florida porch and back courtyard with pool. The old oak tree radiates the peace and love that have clearly been felt through the years. This is a hidden gem for those looking to soothe the soul with nostalgia, nature, and a slower pace.

A piece of paradise

We came to Pensacola for an adoption, and this was the perfect place to come too. So convenient to both the airport and the hospital. But more than that, they made us feel so welcome and at home. The backyard is beautiful and we had many relaxing meals out in the screened porch. Thank you so much for opening your home to us! We would 100% stay again!!

House will not cool, and we feel owners were not truthfull.

Two of us slept in the house while caring for 2 visiting grandbabies daily. The kids had owners’ approval to use the pool. I’d post all of the texts to illustrate problems with the stay, but VRBO forbids it. The house isn’t as advertised, and we had to file a police report while there. The owners informed us they retain digital/online copies of all tenants’ drivers’ licenses (DLs) for background checks. We had a fraudulent debit card charge the day after sending them our DL. We therefore formally request in this complaint that the owners destroy all copies (Paper/Digital) of personal information, and assure no records are held by anyone they have forwarded info to. The owners had a Wi-Fi thermostat & knew the HVAC wasn't working before our arrival but didn't contact us. After 4 days of high temps and an intense exchange with the owner; we vacated the property (from days 5-7) while a complete inside & outside HVAC system was replaced. Our refund request for remaining days was refused so we returned on day 8 (prior to work completion); when some prescription drugs disappeared: hence a police report. The house smelled of plug-in-air-fresheners & mold. None of the kitchen appliances functioned properly. Paint was peeling throughout. Wi-Fi and TV reception failed daily. You’re under Constant surveillance (cameras & listening). Daily network failures drove frantic requests to check out the premises. We feel owners were never completely truthful. Owners also don't live here.

Nice stay- but unusual

This property is very clean and nice. It is exactly as explained. The pictures are accurate. It’s well stocked with nice towels and kitchen supplies. The family who owns this home clearly have fond memories here. It has not been updated- which was fine with us- but know it is a grandparents home. I attempted to type more, but there are limited characters in the review- so I guess the most unusual: The owner, very nice, but will want to meet you- as in -made plans to meet us the day after our arrival to explain house rules and meet our family. She made it clear she only rents to families now after bad experiences- stating she does not rent to “construction workers” or “a couple of 30 year old girls” concerned about people having parties. She also explained how to use the leaf blower so we could blow off the patio each morning to keep the pool clean. It did not really upset me-but unusual to be asked to do yard work? Especially when they have a guy come and clean the pool and a robo cleaner. A meeting to confirm we could read and understand the house rules- in all of the renting we have done- this was a first. She even mentioned having looked at a guest’s trash to confirm it was “party trash” with cups etc. Not bad- just unusual. It’s bugged my husband more than me. (We have never had less then 5 star review as guests) Again- a review should be helpful and honest. It was a sweet place/not a bad stay- just different

Welcoming and comfortable

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home while we visited a family member in the hospital nearby. It was a last minute booking and the owner, Angela, graciously waved some formalities to come to our aid. This is clearly a well loved and meticulously maintained family home. The neighborhood is quiet and the backyard/pool area is private and beautifully landscaped. Would love to visit again in a happier time and bring extended family.

Felt like we were staying at a friends house

This property is a family home that the family still uses when not rented. It felt more “home-like” than other VRBO. The owner met us at checkin and gave us a tour, family history of the house and suggestions for while we visited. They communicated very well and we had a wonderful time. We need to come back in the warmer months when we can enjoy the pool more. This is a great property for when you want to relax and enjoy your company, this is not a party house and it was very relaxing. Thank you for everything.

About the host

Hosted by Angela B Grace

I am Angela Bills Grace Mortimer. My husband, Danny, and I own and care for our family home left to me by my loving parents in 2018. My family moved to this home from across town in 1967, when I was in 3rd grade. I attended Scenic Heights Elementary, a school still in the neighborhood. Danny and I dated 2 1/2 years in high school and spent a lot of time around this same pool many years ago. Now, our family uses this home for holidays and summer swimming and when we feel like chilling at Memaw and Papaw's. So, one can tell that this is a very special home to us. I am a Piano Teacher of 30 + years. We live within 2 miles of this home and can be reached via text any time.

Why they chose this property

We are interested in keeping this home in our family and to help with the maintenance and upkeep, we decided to allow other families to enjoy it as well.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits to our home is that first it is very clean and comfortable, just as our mother always had it. The pool is saltwater verses chlorine, which feels wonderful and is much better for your skin and hair. The backyard includes a relaxing courtyard with the wonderful sounds of a fountain and Corinthian chimes. There are also lights along the fence so families can enjoy the evenings around the pool. Our home is very convenient to the Airport and Cordova Mall, Walmart and Publix . Pensacola Beach is an easy and beautiful ride along Scenic Hwy within 25 minutes or so.
