We loved the Bay House and my son is already talking about visiting next yeat. We were there at the end of July and i can honestly say the A/c worked perfectly!
Stay was ok. Things I felt could have been done better. -Beds definitely need new mattress, to call them soft would be understatement, after day 3 it wasnât comfortable anymore -kayaks are functional, however very old and the seats back support is non existent⊠definitely not for longer rides-yes itâs a private beach but it was the least âswimmableâ out of all beaches we visited. -Fishing rods need upgrade, we ended up buying our own -Front doors are not necessarily the sturdiest doors and I feel like forced entry would be easy by unwanted guest (yes I know we were very close to local pd) All that being said, everything I mentioned can be fixed with some capital, this house probably makes within two weeks of renting ⊠it has potential for an outstanding rental.Communication with owner was super easy and I believe they are nice people who should maybe refresh parts mentioned above This is just my honest review, I wish them all the best.
From the beginning stages of planning to our last day, Donna made our stay in Pensacola beyond wonderful. She was thoughtful, prompt to respond, and went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We took advantage of biking through the neighborhood, exploring downtown Pensacola, and of course enjoying the beautiful private beach. Our family watched the Blue Angels practice and dolphins play right outside the back porch. The kids had an excellent time looking for crabs and exploring the sand bar. Pro Tip - visit Joe Pattiâs and order shrimp and crabs steamed âDonnaâs wayâ- order medium to large peeled shrimp with tails on. At check out, ask them to steam them with medium spice and extra lemons. You wonât regret it!! Absolutely loved our stay! Thank you Donna!
This gem of a house/location did not disappoint! The house was wonderful, the views were spectacular, and the host was super friendly and accommodating! We vacation in Florida every year and hope to move there in the very near future, this was one of the best houses and locations we have stayed at! If you are a fan of the Blue Angels, they will fly right over the house! Thank you, Donna, for sharing your home with us and for being so kind and courteous! We will defiantly be coming back!
Great property in an amazing location. The private beach is fantastic. The dining area outside is also great for family meals and early morning coffee.
Husband and I stayed 3 nights and adult son and girlfriend stayed the next 3 nights. Close to downtown and Pensacola Beach but prefer the private beach at venue. This was our third stay and plan to continue visiting this location.
We loved this property and it was perfect for our family! Loved the house and the private beach. It was great for our grandchildren playing on the beach.
Great place for family time! The house is located close to downtown, the beach, and NAS Pensacola so there are lots of options of things to do. The Blue Angels show is a must see! Having firewood provided for a beach bonfire was very appreciated. There is also a little cottage you can rent that is super cute. Donna is very helpful and easy to contact.
Excellent location. Private Beach was awesome for Seniors. We loved the view. We liked the privacy since we are older and didnât have to deal with wild and crazy beach goers!!
Loved staying here, the owners provided a lot of extra things (beach toys, bikes, kayaks, firewood ). Loved that we could just walk out the back door to the water. Family loved being able to have a fire on the beach. Lots of great restaurants close by. We would stay again.
We arrived to find a surprisingly good location and VRBO. The house is creatively decorated with various nautical themes and everything they could think of to ensure a pleasant stay. They also provide things that you might not expect, like kayaks and beach toys, which go great with the private beach. The private beach was amazing. The first night we were there, we were kayaking and had dolphins swimming around us. The house is in a good neighborhood and is very centrally located and close to great restaurants and attractions. We highly recommend this Bay House for you and your family.
Our stay was amazing! The location, house, Donna, everything about this vacation was a 10/10! Our 11 year old son said this was his dream vacation! Thank you for opening your home to us! A vacation we will never forget!
We had a great time at the Bay House. The private beach was amazing. It was truly private. There were several kayaks that the we all enjoyed, beach toys for the little ones, plenty of beach chairs, and a fire pit on the beach. The morning we were leaving, we saw dolphins. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked with the necessities. It was very nostalgic for my husband. It reminded him of going to the beach house as a kid. All the kids and grandkids had a blast. We will definitely be back.
Was beautiful! Still the ocean, but not deep water right around the house. Our kids were able to play by the shore as much as they wanted. We watched the Blue Angels practice one morning. Having a private beach area was definitely worth it!
The private beach and location of the home was amazing! The home was very clean and fit our 2 families (4 adults and 2 kids) well. The decor is unique and had antique items which may not be good for young kiddos. The host was easy to communicate with before and during the stay. The only reasons itâs not an overall 5 star is that there were a couple soft spots in the flooring in the kitchen which need to be fixed and we werenât able to use the grill. It was too dirty and there were only 2 burners that worked. Overall we enjoyed our time there and would go back!
Great house and super location on Pensacola Bay. Private sandy beach was a huge plus so we didn't have to drive to a public beach. Had a great time riding scooters around town, attending a street festival, shopping at Joe Patti's, visiting the Naval Air Museum, historic lighthouse, and a lot of other things. Pensacola is one of my favorite cities and I plan on returning in the future.
The backyard of this property is amazing.. private beach, water toys, & plenty of beach chairs. Great location - close to airport and nice restaurants and kids playground is only 2 blocks away!
Great house with a beautiful private beach. It was rainy when we were there so a comfortable couch for movies and an indoor dining table would have been nice.
This place is perfect for relaxing and recharging. The view is amazing and the beach is literally just steps from the back porch. The house is older but has all you need. It reminded all the adults of going to your grandparents house, itâs not fancy but feels very welcoming. The neighbors are kind and welcoming and there is a park just down the street for younger kids to play if needed. Definitely looking forward to coming back again
