About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Front Row Seats to the Gulf of Mexico

If you are coming to Pensacola Beach, come to PENSACOLA BEACH. There is no unit that sits closer to the water. Don't come all this way to have a 'peek-a-boo' view of the beach, enjoy a 180 degree view of water as far as you can see. Watch the dolphins splash and play from the relaxation of your balcony. Have a glass of wine while the kids play in the sand, always in view. Maybe take a stroll in the morning with the friendly fearless crane that often comes by. This is the type of place where memories are made.


As for the unit itself, enjoy a peaceful nights sleep in a pillow top king size mattress while listening to the ocean waves through the beach front window or relax in the second bedroom on a plush queen sized bed. All bedrooms have a TV. If you need to reconnect with the real world for just a bit, secure WIFI is included. The building was rebuilt in 2007 and has just been updated and repainted in 2016. All necessary cooking utensils, glassware, and flatware are provided, as is all bedding and towels.

Take a short courtesy trolley ride in the summer down to the boardwalk for food, drinks, water activities, miniature golf, go-karts and more.

Renters must be 25 years of age.

This is a 100% non-smoking unit both inside and on the balcony. Evidence of smoking anywhere in the unit or balcony will result in immediate eviction and complete forfeiture of rent and deposit.

Please read notes below the rates for details on rental qualifications.

Phenomenal Stay!

The stay was absolutely perfect. Stunning view right ON THE BEACH. Great showers, kitchen well stocked, very comfortable beds outside of the larger one in the guest room needs to be replaced along with a few of the beach accessories but these were minor complaints! The place was amazing - we’d stay again. Wish the pool was heated but the beach made up for it! Responsive owner!

Perfect gulf coast location

The property was exactly as described. We were just steps away from the beach which was not very crowded at all. We even saw dolphins swimming from our balcony. I would recommend this property and hope to stay there again. Numerous restaurants a short drive away-two of our favorites were Crabs on The Beach and Flounders Chowder House.

Great vacation!

Everything was great! Very clean and organized! Loved that the beach was only foot steps away from condo and that it was away from all the action. I will say the internet was a little spotty for watching Netflix at night.

Perfect stay!

This is the perfect condo for a family of 4! Check in was easy and convenient, condo was super clean, and location is perfection. It doesn’t get any better than this. We’ve been coming to Pensacola since 2010 as a family and this is our favorite place so far. If your family makes a lot of laundry like mine does you might bring an extra laundry pod or two. Overall I have absolutely zero complaints!!

Easter weekend

We had a wonderful time at this well equipped beautiful condo. I would highly recommend it. I am in Pensacola often and usually stay on the other end of the beach (Ft. Pickens road) This area was less crowded and more family friendly.

Will definitely return

This was our third stay at this property and each and every time we’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s quiet, clean, well-equipped, nicely located, and has a killer beachfront view of the Gulf. Two bedrooms and two baths, full kitchen, in-unit laundry, fast internet, and the uncrowded beach is just steps away. If you want to eat out, several great seafood restaurants are just down the road. We will definitely be back!

Schools out vacay

Directions to find were right on. Super easy to enter the unit. Very clean and comfortable! What was not mentioned for amenities that should be, were 2 beach chairs and an umbrella, along with beach toys, in the unit. It had everything you need; dish soap, hand soap, laundry detergent and dryer sheets would recommend staying here.

Amazing View

The condo was very clean. The bed was so comfortable. The view is amazing. I did not pay attention to the description about if there were grills on the property or not. They allow gas grills but you have to bring your own. This condo was spacious and even though it was windy and chilly, we still enjoyed relaxing on the beach.

Absolutely Perfect!!

This was an early summer get away & the condo was absolutely perfect! It was only up one flight & is located close to the walkway to the beach. The views out the deck are exactly as pictured. In our bedroom with the window closed you could still slightly hear the water. There was a slight problem with the electricity but Seneca handled it right away. We will definitely be getting here as soon as we can!!

Comfortable and Beautiful

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful well-kept apartment. We did have one little glitch that was taken care of right away. This was due to a problem with the Vrbo app. The condo wasn't ready when we got there, but the property manager responded immediately and came in and fixed everything within a half hour and after that point everything was perfect. You can't beat the view every morning looking at at the gorgeous Blue and green waters and the beautiful white sand. The apartment was large and both bathrooms were clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable. And it was really easy to get to all parts of the island. Flounders was a great Recommendation for sushi dinner!
