The condo is in a great location with a quick walk to the beach. The condo was a little outdated and the air conditioner broke while we were they. The maintenance crew attempted to fix it during our stay, but we ended up leaving a night early.

The condo is SO CLOSE to Pensacola Beach! The complex is quiet, while also convenient to restaurants, shops, and attractions. The condo was clean, spacious and well-stocked. We would definitely stay again.

Great Unit
Really convenient unit to get in and out of. Great parking spot and a single flight of steps to the door. Beach is really close. Living room sleeping was a futon and a foam mattress stored in a closet which wasn’t what we expected but it worked. No carpet so you will feel sand on your feet everywhere but there’s no helping it; you’re at the beach. Washer and dryer were really nice.

Enjoyable
We had a blast at our stay! The condo J1 was cozy and looked like the pictures… The only negative was there were no pillowcases on the king bed pillows and none in the condo to put on them. The furniture (couches) are pretty old looking and need updated. Everything else was good! The pool is small and can get crowded, but that’s everywhere. Beach access was nice!

Quiet Vacation
We enjoyed the space with 7 people- one being a3 yr old. Wish the weather was better but the days we did get to enjoy were wonderful. The beach at this location was the most cleanest and beautiful by far that I have been. It is a very quiet family zone. We loved that we could keep our beach supplies close and walk. The only downfall I think we needed a broom to probably keep the sand outside better- this was the first Vrbo that we didn’t have that.

Evacuation vacation
We were grateful to have such a nice, safe place to evacuate to on such short notice as Hurricane Ida approached New Orleans. Though unable to enjoy the property as much as we would have liked, it was a clean, comfortable space. I appreciate management’s flexibility, working with us on short notice.

Disappointed
Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Started off with Pensacola Beach properties informing us approx 3 weeks prior to vacation that the beachfront condo we had rented would not be available...what? The only other unit available for the same week was J1 but WE would still have to find and pay for accommodations elsewhere the first night as J1 wouldn’t be ready until night 2. The unit itself was just ok, it was clean and had a new washer/dryer. . Unfortunately the master shower handle broke the first day and so we were down to 4 adults taking turns using a tiny shower. From balcony you look directly at a large wall w partial beach view on your right. Not the experience we were hoping for but at least the ocean/beach is still as beautiful as ever.

Pensacola Beach Getaway
Nice little getaway... No frills or luxury, though. Deco is bland, Location is great! We had no working TV in 1 bedroom, no toaster working and blinds broken in living room upon arrival. We called the next morning and they sent repairman within an hour over to fix things. The website needs updating since it says no hairdryer and there are 2 in condo. Furniture needs updating, very uncomfortable.

Great location but disappointed with the cleanliness.
Location was great, a little TLC and the place would be awesome. However, will not stay again and would not recommend in its current state. Read a few neg reviews of the cleanliness and thought we would give it a shot anyways. Place was pretty gross. We washed all the linens upon arrival and tried to air out the stench of mildew as much as possible. Main tv didn’t work, and none of the outlets in the kitchen were working. Washer had mold built up and shades and sliding door screen were broken and torn. Called the property management company at to let them know about the outlets and TV which they ended up sending a maintenance guy. He couldn’t fix anything on the spot. (We didn’t care, as we spent most of our time on the beach. We just didn’t want to be held responsible for anything.).

Not Pleased
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I searched high and low for the best place to stay during our 5 night stay on Pensacola Beach. I really loved the pictures of this unit. Don't let the pictures fool you. As soon as we walked in the place smelled of mildew. When we opened the washer and it smelled even worse. There was mold and mildew inside the rim of the machine. Front loading washers need to be left open after being used. That wasn't it though. There was pair of men's underwear left inside. We also had to clean the rim of the washer that had caked on stuff that I can't even put into words. We were so afraid the linens were not clean that we ended up washing all of those as well. I feel the price of the unit should be lowered for these none issues. I would never stay at this unit again. At least not for $125 a night. Not worth it at all.
