Owner was nice and easy to communicate with prior to stay. The property is spacious and has a great layout. With that said, upon arrival we discovered that the refrigerator/freezer smelled of spoiled shrimp. Boxes of baking soda had been placed but the smell took over everything. The ice maker in the wet bar was out of order. We were told not to use the extra refrigerator/freezer downstairs. Even though this house sleeps 15, there were only 14 forks and they were from 7 different sets of flatware. There is no garbage disposal in kitchen sink which was a major inconvenience. The vent in the master bedroom toilet area was not functional. The toilet is closed into a very small area so not being able to vent was unpleasant. The vertical blinds were mismatched and had large gaps with slats missing that left us exposed to anyone outside of our bathroom or bedroom. Handles on furniture were broken and drawers pull out and can drop on your foot. Beautiful balconies but cheap plastic chairs for sitting and enjoying the view were all that were present. The towels were of very poor quality. My family has stayed in two other houses in this same neighborhood over the past six years. They both offered a much better experience for less money.

We had a wonderful vacation in this lovely home near the beach and bay.

Great house, plenty of room, very comfortable, kitchen well equipped! Some vertical blind slats were missing in Master Bath (didn’t shower in there at night!Haha!), and in a front first floor bedroom, but owner has their replacements on order. Quiet neighborhood and great location to get to beach across the main road. Soundside dock is being redone, due to recent hurricane damage… but will be a nice addition when finished. We enjoyed our stay here!

Overall, the experience was great. We needed a house in Pensacola and this one made the most sense. Very easy to communicate and nice accommodations.

A lovely, well-maintained home that had all the features we needed. Problems with the community pool and one TV set fixed efficiently. No garbage disposal in the kitchen was a minor inconvenience. Good beach access with beautiful views from the home. Tania Mckeoun, VRBO rep, was very available, pleasant and responsive! Payment transactions correct and easy. Would definitely rent from VRBO again!!

Tania is an amazing host! She communicated very well with us from the time that we booked her home through our stay and even on our way home. The home was amazing - plenty of room for us all to gather in the living and dining room and penlty of room for us to all go our separate ways for bedtime. The double ovens came in so handy and the ice maching - what an awesome thing to have!! We usually have had to go get ice multiple times a day, but not this year!!! Also...we usually have to search for pantry space, but there was a very large pantry for us to keep all of our things. I would highly recommend Sydney's Sandcastle and I'm hoping to go back again very soon.
