The space
One of Pensacola’s architecturally significant Victorian homes. Built originally in 1904 for the Thomas W. Brent, Jr. family. It has also been a hotel, a bed-and-breakfast, an advertising agency, and many more. Previously featured in Southern Living Magazine. The house construction initiated in 1902 by Steamboat Captain James M. Flynn and was completed around 1904 when the Brent family moved in. While this home has served many roles throughout its history, many of the charming historic details remain intact today. This includes the ornate wooden staircase in the foyer, 7 original fireplaces each with a unique hand carved wooden mantel. A favorite detail are the stunning stained glass windows throughout the house!

Guests will have private access to the entire home, yard, porch and deck. There is parking around the back of the home that can accommodate approx 7-10 vehicles if organized well.

Other things to note
Being a 100+ year old home staying here is a little different than staying in a modern construction home. Please be mindful of low railings and fragile elements.

Family Wedding

The location of this property is perfect. 15 minutes from the airport, and a 5 minute walk to downtown. We were close by everything and did not have to pay to park.

Evacuation stay

Due to an impending hurricane we were placed under a mandatory evacuation, we luckily were able to stay at this gorgeous home that was large enough for our entire family. Despite the reasoning for our last minute trip and stay the owners were excellent and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this home.

Sisters Wedding Weekend

I stayed in the house with my sisters and extended family for my niece’s wedding. The kids took over the media room and enjoyed their space having fun. The adults were found with morning coffee on the porch and wine in the evening in the parlor. The house was exceptionally clean and provided many comforts. It’s a beautiful home with a quick walk to downtown. I highly recommend it to a large group visiting Pensacola!

Great decor

The rooms had their own individual charm. Rooms were huge. We came when Pensacola had a freak snow storm, the host were responsive in allowing us to purchase extra heaters. The old house had a couple of old house issues, but really loved the place

Perfect Venue

We had the best time at this beautiful house. We hosted a 1950s themed murder mystery 60th birthday party, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The house is magnificent (the pictures just cannot communicate how incredible the house is), and is filled with uniquely and tastefully curated furniture, decor, and stained glass. We fell in love at first site. And Shanna is incredibly easy to get ahold of with questions. You cannot go wrong booking this location!

Heavenly

This property is absolutely wonderful for a large family or group! The verandah hosted us day and night for long talks and catch-ups. There were plenty of bedrooms - all lovely - for us to pick from, and rooms for storytelling, movie watching, and plenty of laughs! Lots of room for parking, too. Book this beautiful house - you won't regret it! Rooms enoughplenty

A dream come true

Even better than the photos, this home is a work of art, through and through. It made us all feel as though we got to visit a fascinating, living museum, then got to stay overnight(s). Every room holds surprises and delights. So much character and warmth. he hosts were very responsive when we couldn't figure out the entry (didn't read the instructions--oops) and worked with us on check in-so gracious. Unforgettable.

Perfect for large groups

This was one of the only properties in the area that could accommodate all of us under one roof and I’m glad we found it. Shanna(host) was very nice and easy to communicate with. The house was aesthetically pleasing to say the least. And being walking distance from downtown was a huge plus. We’re already planning next years trip to stay here again

The perfect place for a family gathering. Plenty of place for everyone. Good location. The house was well maintained. Neighborhood is very quiet. Somethings were within walking distance. Kids loved the Mess Hall that is nearby. The beach was a big hit. We all had a great time.

Dance Nationals house

We had 4 families (11 people) staying in this lovely home for a dance Nationals. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kids had so much fun in this big Victorian. The convention center was a mile away as well as several restaurants and a charming town. Some in our party just walked backed and forth all week. Great for parking and a huge bin for trash was easily accessible. Great communication from the owner! Thank you!!
