We really loved the house. Plenty of room for everyone. We loved the location because it gave us several options for entertainment. If we wanted to hang out in Santa Rosa sound without the waves and kayak or fish we could. If we wanted to head to the beach for the day we could. It came with everything we needed: beach chairs, toys, fishing poles, life jackets. It was also just far enough from the business, yet close enough to run up the street to eat and/or shop. Would recommend this place and for a family!

Close to the beach right on the main road. Wish we knew ahead of time that the room with the bunkbeds was on a separate floor. Not ideal when you have small children staying with you. House had everything you needed from cooking utensils to bikes, sand toys and kayaks.

Very nice, new and welcoming! Entire process very easy. Great view of sunsets and sound off back deck. Very convenient to beach and other area attractions. Beach chairs umbrella and bikes as well as kayaks provided. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The home was exactly as advertised; beds were new, new appliances, very clean, beach just across the road, sound with beautiful sunsets off the back deck(very short walk), we brought 3 large dogs and their xpen-perfect, they have several very nice backpack type beach chairs, several bicycles, 2 baby gates, well stocked kitchen. It was the best rental we have ever experienced and are planning on reserving this house again. We have no complaints. Super dog friendly, worth the price! Easy check in and check out!

We had an amazing time in the house. Beautiful view of the beach. My daughter fell in love with the house immediately 😊. The house has a very cozy feeling plus the view of the sun coming out or going in for the night priceless.

The home was in a nice location being that the sound was right behind us. We enjoyed coffee out back only one morning due to the winds from Hurricane Ian the rest of the week. Nice to sit out back. The ocean was one street over so not a bad walk at all. Kayaks were provided at the home which was so nice! Two of the kids used them out on the sound one evening.
VRBO gave me a name for a property manager and I reached out to him a few times with no response. So I called Paradise Beach Homes and dealt with them the rest of the time and they were great! I had read in previous reviews that the appliances were old and weren’t the best. I decided to hand wash the dishes because of this. We only used the stove for cooking and it was alright. The grill was used a few times and it worked well. We brought our small dog and there was some grass out front for him to walk in which was good. If you bring your dog though check for burs on their paws when they come back in. The last thing I will add is that I know FL has water bugs but this house may need to be sprayed again for them. Did not see any until our last night there but we saw quite a few.
Overall, the house worked for our families needs for the week.

The house is close to everything and a great setup for 2 couples and children. Unfortunately it isn’t well cleaned. The bunk beds downstairs were not made and our bed had sand in it so I don’t think the sheets were cleaned. Multiple roaches also. We rent every year and this is the first bad experience with Paradise Beach Homes.

First time renting this property after looking at several in this area for our yearly family vacation. The property was exactly as described and the property management group was very nice and helpful to deal with. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed to have a great vacation. It was nice not to have to eat out every meal because the kitchen had everything you need to be able to cook a meal. The house is very well located. It is a block away from the Gulf and the Santa Rosa Sound is pretty much in the backyard. We loved that there were enough bikes for 6 people to ride and 3 kayaks to use, beach chairs, cornhole, grill, and outdoor furniture to enjoy time on the deck both front and back. The kids loved their own space in the lower level. And the adults loved having their own bathrooms in each of the upstairs bedrooms. Our only complaint was the beds. We really hope the property owner changes those soon because they are uncomfortable after long days. Definitely not hotel quality. We would definitely rent the property again if they changed them. Overall the house was perfect for our family vacation because we love the Pensacola Beach area. If you are looking for 5 star hotel quality in a rental house and expecting the Ritz this property is not for you. But if you are looking for a rental that has everything you need but food and your clothes that you can enjoy time at the beach then consider this one but just be mindful that the beds don’t sleep great.

We had a great vacation and loved the house, it was perfect location. The Paradise homes staff were VERY friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Lighting hit the house and they immediately replaced and fixed everything. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Pensacola.

We had a great time! Short walk to the beach and easy access to the sound side. House was roomy and practical. The deck views were beautiful and we enjoyed the kayaks. My only recommendation is the beds were not the most comfortable and it would be great to have some sort of pantry or cabinet to put groceries in. Overall a great experience would definitely stay here again.

This rental was great for our needs and had plenty of room. We were only a two blocks from the beach where we could walk and it was not very crowded compared to near the hotels down the road. Bay was right outside your back door so made for nice evenings on the deck. Beds were not great but what is compared to your one at home. Master was like a sheet of plywood and guest was pillow soft. It's great this place is dog friendly but be careful lots of briars on the property due to being a national seashore. We walked our dogs on the side walk and took them to the nearby dog parks. Lots of food places, souvenir shopping nearby, grocery stores and other mainstays are over the bridge which is a 20 minute drive. Overall nice property that we would stay at again if we are ever in Pensacola.

The house is a quant and clean getaway that comfortably sleeps 8-10.
Pros: Amazing rental company and service, short walk to bay or beach; downstairs bunk beds were great for teens; kitchen well stocked; bikes on site were a huge help; loved the wrap around porch, and plenty of parking.
Cons: As previous reviewers mentioned, owners NEED to install black out curtains on front bedrooms to block light; slight noise from being on well traveled road; no bath downstairs so bunk rooms shares with upper baths; climate varies from up to down by 15 degrees.
Definately a good stay, and recommend.

Fabulous property! Great location, clean, well stocked with bikes and beach toys. Enough room for our family of 4 adults, a teenager and 2 middle-aged kids. You can see the water from the back porch while you sip your mornin cup of Joe. Only drawbacks: 1. Not enough toiletries for 5 days like shampoo, soap, etc 2. Check in is at 5PM and check out is at 10AM. So, not a lot of extra time built into arrival and departure to enjoy. Otherwise, highly recommend!

The location was great with the beach within walking distance behind the house. Plenty of cooking utensils and cooking ware, however some pots were badly warped that it was not usable. As you walk into the front of the house, there were ants from the outside, on the front door, and around the coffee table and floor inside. There were cardboard trash underneath the living room couch that wasn't picked up. Most of the blinds were in dire need of replacement, some were unable to be closed all the way. The master bedroom ceiling light fan did not work, the bathroom drains were clogged that water slowly drained, the sheets had light stain spot on the top and something on the bottom. I slept on top of the covers so to avoid this. The master mattress also needs to be replaced as it was very lopsided and sunk on the left side. Going downstairs, there was a roach by the washer and dryer. All trash containers outside were all full from the previous renter not taking it out on the 2 days as indicated, that we were unable to fully close the lid after we put our trash in. We were prepared with bringing additional towels, toilet paper and trash bags. The only good things that we were happy about were the big TV in living room, getting to ride the bikes, and location was near the public beach.
