What people say:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Great place to stay! We even extended an extra night and Pensacola Beach Properties was very helpful throughout the process. This property is super lowkey and quiet. We rented a golf cart from Navarre Beach Golf Cart Rentals; we hardly drove our truck all week. We had everything we needed in the fully stocked kitchen. Comfy beds, clean bathrooms, HUGEEE back deck — we watched the fireworks on Independence Day from all directions as it's located right next to Santa Rosa Sound, and we could even see them from the beach as well. The only thing I would change is if we could stay longer!! The week FLEW by. We will definitely return!! (sooner rather than later)."
