Family-friendly vacation rentals in Pensacola Bay

It’s a wonderful beach and beautiful surroundings. The pool was a nice size. It didn’t feel overcrowded. The balcony with the table and chairs had a great view of the ocean.

Me and my boyfriend make an annual trip down to Pensacola Beach and this was our first time staying at Nancy’s place and it was perfect! Her space had all the amenities you need like beach chairs, toys, beach towels, and dishes for cooking! It’s across the street from beach and an easy walk. The pool was also a nice touch and the view of the bay from the balcony was great. All the restaurants are within a 5 minute drive with a little convenience store minutes away as well. Nancy is also super kind and gave great recommendations and had clear communication! We will definitely try to book her space for next year as well!

Such a great stay!! Martha's condo is exactly as described, and she was super helpful and responsive. We noticed the fridge wasn't cooling as it should be, and 3 hours later someone had been out and the problem was fixed. We were amazed with how responsive and attentive she was to fix a very small problem. The condo itself was super cute, clean, just as described and the views from the balcony were gorgeous! A quick walk to several different places to eat (all of which were amazing- live music and kareoke through the evening), and easy access to the pool and the beach. The private boardwalk to the beach included showers- a huge plus! The condo had everything you could need, including an entire closet of beach chairs, boogie boards, an umbrella, and kids beach toys- you will need nothing!!! our family will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay here. I grew up going to Portofino with my family, and wanted to take my own children. Check in is super easy, the room was clean with a beautiful view. Easy access to the pool and beach. I would definitely recommend!

Great location! Kevin was helpful in every way! The condo was very clean and cozy! Had everything we needed. We will be coming back for sure!

We had a great stay. We have a one year old and I’m pregnant. We also had a senior with us so having easy access was very important to us. Only had to go up one flight of stairs and there was the room. Parking was convenient. We enjoyed easy access to the beach and they have essentials to take. We used towels, cooler, shovel & bucket to build sand castle. The waves at the beach were to strong for my toddler. We enjoyed the pool! Is small but was enough for us. Check in and check out instructions were clear. Everything was clean and they had kitchen cookware we needed to make breakfast every day. The location is pretty central to a lot of restaurants/activities. Front living room tv did not work but they were quick to get out to look at it. It still didn’t work after they reset but it was okay we did with out. If you are a light sleeper this might not be the place for you. We did hear loud stomps and kids running upstairs constantly. Would definitely recommend booking here!

Kyle was a great host! He responded to my questions, and had a great place to stay. I highly recommend his place for anyone wanting to relax and listen to the waves at Gulf Shores. Thank you, Kyle!

Condo just as described. Pool , hot tub, sand volleyball, tiki bar open every night. Music and karaoke. Close to beach (5 mins) close to restaurants.

The host's communication was amazing! Timely feedback and some great local recommendations. The property was perfect for a couple and the amenities are simply amazing. The pool and hot tub were a great addition and the only issue I have was I wish I could stay longer. The bed is comfy and the small kitchen was perfect for the space. Keep in mind the bathroom is small but completely manageable if you communicate with your travel partner. Easy to find and easy to access. Persons with mobility issues may have some difficulties navigating the stone pavers and the multi-level backyard. The kitchen also has two steps down from the main level of the studio. Bottom line…we loved it and think you will too! Time to stop reading and book before you miss your chance. I will 100% book again when I am in the area.

These are some of the best hosts we have ever had! From the moment we arrived with a tire issue, Steve was immediately friendly and helpful with multiple local repair shops to try and suit our needs. In the following days he had lots of local restaurants, dive locations and dog park recs. Their place has all the necessities you'd need on your vacation. The kitchen allowed us to cook breakfast, and prepare leftovers any day we needed. All other rooms were stocked, clean and well kept. The dogs loved to fetch n cool off in the Sound on their frequent swims. Lush foliage was a surprise as it contributed to wildlife, birds and shady temps! It is definitely the place to privately slow down, sit back an watch the sun rise on the dock as boats travel by slow and unbusily. Topping it all off was the spacious porch/yard with water hose. It spoiled us as we are usually unable to fully rinse and dry out all of our dive gear before returning home. Come and visit their oasis, you won't regret it!!

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage, everything that is posted is accurate to include images. We have been coming to Pensacola Florida for years and usually stayed at the hotels so this was the first experience we had using Airbnb and due to Ella’s hospitality we will continue to use Airbnb when we travel. Ella was very responsive when I had questions. As new empty nesters our 2 dogs are like our children and it was amazing to bring them with us to share this experience. This couldn’t have happened without the opportunity Ella provided us to bring our pets. All in all this was an amazing experience, I would highly recommend the Mermaid Cottage and Ella if you are looking for the opportunity to enjoy Pensacola Beach.

Mike and Shari were wonderful hosts. They were both extremely responsive, gave suggestions about things to do in the area and were as flexible as possible with us. There was even a whole shed of all you could need for the beach. Would definitely recommend this to a small group (we were 2 adults/2 kids).

This was a very nice home away from home. Had everything you would at home. Stove, fridge, washer and dryer, utensils, along with being clean. Perfect location on a quiet street just off the main road so you were still close to restaurants, attractions, and only minutes from the beach. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again.

Amazing place!!! House is clean, well stocked and decorated lovely! AC is so cold and works fantastic - nice to walk into after a hot day at the beach/pool! Beds comfortable too! The shuttle to/from the beach club was fantastic and we enjoyed the golf cart to take night drives around the neighborhood. Excellent communication with host and very accommodating. Even the bus drivers and community gate guards were amazing! We would most definitely stay here again if in the area. Thank you!

What a delightful little bungalow! close to parks, downtown, shopping, and restaurants. Very cozy and full of warmth.

We had the best weekend! Would recommend this place! Owner was very responsive and helpful.

The place was very clean and the entrance to the beach was directly in front of the airbnb. Amazing spot, plus it gave a comfortable coastal home vibe. Would recommend staying here!

The location was great and the beach was not crowded. The kitchen had all of the pans and utensils you needed. Beach toys and other extras were available. The beds were comfortable and the condo was very clean. Quinn recommended Scooters Fish House in Navarre which was very good. If we return to Navarre Beach we would stay at Quinn’s again if it is available.

Highly recommend this condo. Very roomy, clean and comfortable. The view is exquisite. Loved the pools. Not crowded. Nice to have the beach chairs and umbrella. Although we sat mostly by the water. It’s the perfect location. Host was very friendly and helpful.

This was our second time staying here. It's clean and spacious. I love how close it is to the beach. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to have a couple home cooked meals and even did a little baking! Beautiful place and another wonderful time with the family.

The condo was cute with a great location. It is an older complex and could use some renovations in the unit. New mattresses, linens and furniture would be a huge upgrade. The beds were not the most comfortable and we had to buy pillows due to the pillows provided being flat and hard. The sheets could be replaced also. Overall the condo was great, clean and close to everything!!

Good location and great views of the beach and the bay. Would stay here again

Right on the beach great views from the balcony.

We had a wonderful vacation and will definitely be returning. There was something for everyone to do here from our 4 year old to our 16 year old. Everyone had a great time.
