About this property

Private Pool, Walkable, Minutes to Beaches & Downtown Pensacola

Historic. Private. Unique. Fun. Colorful. An Oasis. This gem of a home gives you modern amenities, historic character, themed decor and artwork, all with spacious living and sleeping areas. The grounds and backyard feature gorgeous landscaping, water features, a pool house and a PRIVATE POOL. Designed to be your retreat from the world if you'd like and your launch point to Pensacola Bay, Pensacola Beach, the bustling downtown, and the local brewery/coffee/wine/restaurant scene. 2 Roku TVs too!

What's on the Main Floor? (Living/Dining Areas, Kitchen, Coffee Bar, and 1 Bathroom)

1. Foyer/Entry Room: We hope you enjoy the vibrant welcome as you enter our home. It's a large space that gives you plenty of room to bring in and stage your bags upon arrival. Our favorite part is the Pirate painting!

2. Kitchen: You can enjoy cooking your own meals while staying here. We have all of the tools needed - an oven/cooktop with baking sheets, cookware, utensils, dishes, drinkware, etc, are all made available for you. We also have a microwave, toaster, garbage disposal, and dishwasher. The refrigerator has a filtered water and ice dispenser and the kitchen island provides additional seating. Publix is around the corner from us so you can easily get all of your groceries.

3. Bathroom: Toilet, sink, and clawfoot tub. Watch out for the Octopus while you're bathing!

4. Living Room: Sit back and relax in our large Victorian-vibe living room that has comfy seating, high 12 ft ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, and a bar area. The dedicated desk is the perfect spot for remote work where you can look for the special details in the fun, animal characters wallpaper.

5. Dining Room: Perfectly situated adjacent to the kitchen and living room, there's a pass-through (with shelving and a wine rack) to the kitchen.

6. Coffee Bar: Located off of the kitchen in its own nook, we have a great coffee bar that also features a charging station for your phones and devices. We LOVE coffee. Our coffee bar features a Keurig system with drip/k-cup options, a Nespresso for making those espresso drinks, a french press, and an Aeroccino milk frother (the easiest way to froth milk!). Mugs included too!

7. Tiki Room: This is the place to relax and chill while enjoying the large Roku TV. The TV is in guest mode making it easy for you to sign into any of your favorite streaming apps. We also have it connected to a Sony soundbar with a subwoofer. This room has a queen sleeper sofa and another huge couch that is one of the most comfy we've ever sat on. A separate split unit AC/heater allows you to independently control the temperate in this room. Be Savvy and Drink Rum is the motto on our sign in this room and from here, you can access the backyard paradise.

What's Upstairs? (3 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, Laundry Room, Reading Room)

1. The Captain's Quarters: This large master bedroom features a king bed with a CertiPUR memory foam mattress (our favorite), a Roku TV, a chaise lounge, storage bench, dressers, and built-ins for storage and hanging up your clothes. The side tables each have lamps with USB charging capability and there's a private door to a covered front porch complete with seating for two. The attached private bathroom has an oversize claw foot tub (perfect for relaxing/soaking), separate shower, toilet, dual sinks and plenty of lighting and outlets.

2. The Pirate Room: The pirate room has a full bed with a CertiPUR memory foam mattress, an additional twin bunk bed, a chair with table, and a cozy seating/relaxing area under the bunk bed. A single closet and ample shelving gives you a place to store clothes and necessities during your stay. Look for the fun decor and books!

3. The Mermaid Room: This large bedroom features a queen bed with a CertiPUR memory foam mattress, a chair and ottoman, a closet, and direct access to a full bathroom (separately locked door for privacy). The attached bathroom also has a separate door to the hallway. Each side table also has a fun lamp that makes cool designs on the wall at night!

4. Laundry Room: We have a full laundry room with side by side washer and dryer units. There's storage/shelving and pods for your use.

5. The Reading Room: This enclosed room/back porch is at the back of the home at the end of the upstairs hallway. Separately climate controlled and a purposely simple and quiet space for reading, relaxing, yoga, etc. Kids can have fun in the tent and play with the large floor checker board game.



How about Outdoor Space?

1. Front Porch: Enjoy seating for 6 on our comfy patio furniture (2 benches, 2 chairs) that includes a table. We love sitting out here and enjoying a coffee on a quiet mornings or evenings and watching passers-by, neighbors walking dogs, etc.

2. Gardens: Take a stroll within our walled yard and enjoy the lush landscaping, large water fountain feature, and paver/brick path. The wall around the front/side yard has built in lighting that turns on in the evening.

3. The Backyard: This area was made for entertaining! We have a picnic table eating area, a sectional with ottoman, a large pillowed egg chair, Adirondack chairs, and lounges. There's a propane gas grill with a prep table next to it. Grill utensils are on hand, too. The overhead hanging lights automatically turn on at night and help create a magical space. There is a pool house with casual seating inside and a foosball table if you're looking for a little competitive sport time during your vacation. :)

4. The POOL: Take a dip and enjoy the pool on a hot summer day! No diving, please!

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This is Florida. On our densely vegetated property, you'll see bugs, birds, frogs, lizards, and butterflies. There are also mosquitoes. You'll hear the chorus of frogs outside at night in the summer. We have large trees that provide great shade. You'll see twigs and leaves around too after rains/storms. We've provided an outdoor broom with dustpan and a small brush to clean up patio furniture if needed.
It also gets HOT in the summer. Our two central AC units in the home help keep the home comfortable in the summer, but definitely enjoy the pool to cool off when outside. Drink lots of water and use sunscreen often. We also have tower fans in each bedroom for additional cooling!

Parking is a breeze. There's a long gravel driveway area on the west side of the home that fits multiple vehicles and even trailers or boats. There's also a brick paver driveway directly in front of the house. Please do not use or block our neighbor's driveway or street.

The 17th Ave Boat Launch is less than a mile away. Bring the boat, park it at our property, then launch it close by and enjoy!

Urban vibe, historic area. Historic East Hill is a special area near downtown Pensacola, Bayou Texar, and Pensacola Bay Bridge. Your whole group will enjoy easy access to the best that Pensacola has to offer. If you want to be close to the action downtown on S Palafox or Seville Square, enjoy a quiet stroll through historic neighborhoods and see some gorgeous/unique homes, be a quick drive to Pensacola Beach or the Bay, or just hang out poolside in the sun all day, you'll love it here. Walk or ride to small businesses nearby such as fashion boutiques, gift shops, restaurants, great breakfast spots, and some of our favorite coffee shops around! You'll hear trains occasionally too. It's a port town so there's nice hustle and bustle occasionally.

Family vacation

The house was beautiful! We were able to walk to some good BBQ and closely drive to everything! The home was very accommodating for our family of 4. Our 7 year old was able to sleep in the bunkbed while our 5 month old stayed in the pack in play all in the room right next to us. My parents surprised us with a vist and were able to stay with us on vacation while having their own private area aswell. We had fun in the pool, walking around and just relaxing playing games. Everything was easy and nice which made for a great, relaxing vacation!

Old Jackson house rocks!

October is perfection in Pensacola! Our month there was full of festivals, dining out, walking to great breakfast and lunch locations and visiting with friends and family. Old Jackson house was a perfect spot for home base. Easy access for the locals to arrive and central to all of our activities. The house itself provided lots of surprises and giggles and grins! We loved it!

Wonderful location and pool

We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Jackson home. Close to tons of restaurants and just a little ride to the beach. The pool in the backyard was perfect for us after a long hot day or if we wanted to just stay in and relax. Lovely house full of character. I knew when I saw the pics online, I had to stay there. Don’t miss out!

Old Jackson House - Unique & Memorable

What an incredibly unique property! The house and backyard set up were perfect for our visit to celebrate an early Christmas with our family & friends in Pensacola. The house offers plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces and the central location is perfect to enjoy all the local flavor. We are already working on another visit next month and this will be our go to place when we visit Pensacola. The art work and decor is so refreshingly different - if you want to stay somewhere memorable this is the place! Thank you Bri & Drew for a smooth rental process, everything was handled professionally with great communication & follow up.

Nothing but good things to say!

Where do I start..... The decor was something out of Better Homes and Gardens. Eclectic, fun, interesting and quirky. The art is something you will talk about, especially the pirate over both mantels. Fully stocked. Awesome coffee bar. Many places to sit gather and enjoy your vacation. Easy access to anywhere since it is just north of the traffic area. Easy 5 mins drive to downtown. Walk to the best BBQ around. The pool area was fun and private. The bedrooms were comfortable, each with its own floor fan. Bathrooms were stocked with plenty of towels and toiletries. All bedroom upstairs, master with access to the balcony which was so peaceful and fun. Parking was easy. No worries about where to park. There is street parking one block west. Easy access for loading and unloading. Bri and Drew were amazing. Thank you both so much for making our wedding weekend memorable!!

Beautiful house

We weren't able to enjoy the pool and deck due to weather, but we made good use of the cozy TV room to watch movies, play toys and do a bit of yoga out of the rain! It is a beautiful house with lots of playroom or space for everyone to have a reading nook. Michelle

Everything you could wish for…and more.

This property has it all. Location, privacy, oasis in the back yard, amenities. We had everything we needed. The coffee drinkers loved the coffee bar. The keypad door was super convenient and we felt very safe. The decor is so unique and special. We agreed that we could stay in a “modern farmhouse” decorated house any time. It was so fun to check out the art work and experience the surprise of how each room was decorated. We had events that we needed to attend each day and the house was perfectly located. Everywhere we needed to be was a quick drive. We could have walked if it wasn’t 100 degrees (!). On the one day we didn’t need to be at an event, we jumped at the chance to stay at the house all day. We enjoyed the back yard the entire day. It was bliss. A much needed respite and a perfect place to take it. And my final note is to say that Drew and Bri were great. Very accommodating and always available.

Spring Break

We had the best time! The home was spotless and looked just like the pictures from the site. Everything was beautiful! Drew and Bri stayed in touch throughout the trip, answered any questions we had about the home and gave us information about the area to help with day to day activities. My son loved the backyard, especially the pool and "round" chair. As they said on the site, the neighborhood is very walkable. There is a Publix 2 blocks away, as well as a Walgreens and a bunch of great eateries. (We used DoorDash several times too.) We loved our stay here and will definitely visit again. Drew and Bri provided not only an amazing home, but wonderful information to help our trip run smoothly, and that is extremely helpful when you have never vacationed in this area before. 10 out of 10!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Drew and Bri

Host profile image
Hi! We're Drew and Bri and we love traveling, hosting, and unique homes! We are a family of 4 with 3 dogs too. We have a passion for serving people through real estate and making homes better places for all to experience and enjoy. Some of our favorite things to do include finding the best local coffee shops and restaurants, reading a great book, soaking up mountain and ocean views, and just being together poolside or fireside.

What makes this property unique

Our home's location is rated as "Very Walkable" by WalkScore.com! From our home, you can take a quick walk to some great places like Publix, three neighborhood parks, Hot Spot BBQ, The Daily Squeeze Juice Bar, SoBo Boutique, Krispy Kreme, WaterBoyz Surf/Skate shop, Cafe Single Fin, Bagelheads, Gulf Coast Brewery, and gift shops. Even better, walking to Palafox St is easy since it's less than a mile away!
Try out the Bird scooter app and use that for a quick way to get around East Hill and downtown Pensacola. If you have a rental car, parking is easy at the home as you can park on the west side of the home where we have a large gravel driveway area. There are old buildings nearby that look like old train station buildings. You'll hear train horns occasionally. It's a port city.
