My husband and I rented this VRBO in Pensacola for the month of June to spend time with my sister in hospice care and brother-in-law. The home was pet-friendly, which was one of the most important needs during our stay. The kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed and the two bedrooms were spacious. The living room, kitchen, and bedrooms were equipped with ceiling fans, in addition to central air and heating in the home. The hosts were the absolute best!!! We have stayed in numerous VRBO’s, and the hosts for this particular rental were the most welcoming, friendly, caring, respectful, and helpful that we have encountered. A big shoutout to Cathy and Shania…thank you both so very much for your kindness and support during this difficult time for me and my husband.

We've always enjoyed visits to Pensacola, the area is slow paced, close to the beach, and easy to get around with walkable communities. This house sits in a beautiful community and has a park in walking distance with a great off leash dog park/swim. The interior is very kitschy and the kitchen is well appointed and usable. The miniature dishwasher takes some getting used to but does work fairly well. The garden does look like it was started well intended but has fallen into neglect. The beds and planters are being overrun with vines and weeds, It'd be well worth it to get a gardener in there once a quarter to keep things minded. Also the master bed is listed as being a king but it isn't, and the hot water in the bathroom is not consistent and I never managed to get hot water to come out for more than 3 minutes at a time. The reservation we made was through VRBO, which has shared space requirements for this, and the adjoining listing (Tommys Zen Garden Cottage) conveniently doesn't disclose on that website. So if you bring a dog to either, or expect to have the back yard to yourself, you will be disappointed.
