Description
This 'Island Pad' is a great open layout 4br/4ba direct beachfront home. This is steps and then the sand - with a huge beachfront deck that spans the width of the house! This is on 100 feet of beachfront on the famed Ariola Drive on Pensacola beach, to the west is no house just small public access so it is a perfect location!
Two Master suites are Gulf Front bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The first has a king bed and a full-size pull-out sofa and sleeps 4 with a full bathroom. The second also has a king bed and full bathroom. The first interior room has a twin XL over a queen bed bunk bed and another twin over a twin bunk bed, that room sleeps 5 and has a brand-new full bathroom. The last interior bedroom has a twin XL over queen bunk bed with a full bathroom and a fold-out twin, sleeps 4.
The living room has a large cathedral ceiling with an open floor plan, a large table, a new section couch, and new bar stools for the kitchen island seating and this leads out to the highlight of the house which is the Gulf Front Deck. The deck stretches the width of the house and is a great place to relax, grill out, and enjoy the tremendous beach views!

Only steps away from the Gulf of Mexico! Literally step off the back deck into the sand. There's not a property closer to the water than this. Very spacious inside with plenty of room for all. Two minute cruise down the strip to all the fine dining Pensacola Beach has to offer!- Posted: 10/12/2024

PNW & GA Meet in Pensacola
Amazing house for our 3-family get together! Great location and just far enough away from town to avoid the craziness. Come prepared with the essentials though - sponge to wash dishes, extra toilet paper (only 1 roll per bathroom), paper towels/napkins and if you're lucky the can opener we had to buy will still be there. Also the towels are a bit thin, so be prepared to do laundry. Even with all these details in mind, I would still highly recommend the house to friends and family simply because of the location and view.- Posted: 4/5/2024

Great house - amazing location/ view!
We had a great stay. The house seemed newly updated/ amazing kitchen. Great views and communication from management. Amazing beach views!- Posted: 11/24/2023

The home is absolutely perfect for enjoying the beach. You can walk right out the back porch to the waves. We appreciated the rinsing station on the top porch as well as the heated, private outdoor shower downstairs. This helped us keep the house clean and sand-free for the most part. The garage was well stocked with chairs and kids beach toys, and the kitchen was very well-stocked for baking, crab boils, and cooking. We had a hard time with the gas stovetop burners, getting them lit and keeping them lit, although there was a manual that helped, it was a tricky endeavor. Other than that, a perfect retreat for our family. You will not regret staying here!- Posted: 10/15/2023

Perfect beach house!
This place was a dream in the best location. You just can't beat Pensacola Beach and with this house, you are right on it. The private boardwalk was an added bonus and the house, in general, was very accommodating. If you like to cook on vacation the kitchen is stocked which is nice. I can't say enough good things about this place!- Posted: 9/7/2023

Perfect Pensacola
Great stay first week of August in Pensacola. Property is exceptionally stocked—from dish ware for 20+, blender, and all kitchen devices you may need. Additional ice maker (similar to an Opal) is almost worthless—you will definitely need to purchase from a nearby vendor if stocking coolers which should be expected. Very open floor plan with four bedrooms (2 each side) each with own bathroom. Nicely updated, received no complaints from anyone about bedding/linens. Huge deck with bbq(didn’t use, I don’t bbq with propane!) and seating for the whole party. Nicest surprise was tons of beach gear secured in the garage—kayak, surfboard, boogie and skim boards, chairs, and tons of little kid stuff too(didn’t use). Enclosed shower in the parking area made clean up a breeze after returning from the beach. Overall, one of the nicest properties we’ve stayed at in P’cola. I highly recommend LazyDays beach service for chairs /umbrellas and other paddleboards or kayaks. They put them out by 9 and retrieve them for you at the end of the day. We were here at the end of the summer, so the next-door public access wasn’t ideal, but not much of a crowd for us so not a problem. Only issue we had was the oven has trouble closing—rests about 1/2” open unless delicately placed fully closed. Nice range though with 8 burners if I remember correctly.- Posted: 8/6/2023

Family get-away
This property was perfect location- just far enough from town for an exclusive fun family time, but just close enough to run into town for activities and restaurant dinners! Love that it’s directly on the beach and has a nice big open cement area under the house too! All the rooms were just what we needed, and great details with the renovation! Fully stocked! Kitchen had everything we needed!! We would stay here again!- Posted: 8/1/2023
Thank you for the excellent 5 star review. This house is a fan favorite and you described a lot of the great qualities! We hope to have you back soon, Gulf Coast GetawaysFlorida Gulf Coast Getaways staff

Beautiful Views! Beautiful House!!
Just steps away from the Gulf is the highlight of this house but the inside is fabulous too!! This house has everything! Well stocked, plenty of seating to enjoy the view. Clean, bright and very spacious! The deck is huge and perfect for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. I give this property an A++ and would rent it over and over again! Great for families or groups of friends!- Posted: 8/16/2022

21st Birthday Bash
Rented this property to celebrate my sons 21st birthday with family and friends. It was nice and roomy for our group of 10 and being on the beach was an added bonus. Great spot to enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning with the sunrise and sit on a cocktail for sunset views. Would have been nice to have an overhang for the deck to provide a bit of shade (which would help with the heat coming through the windows) but that's very minor considering how well the house was furnished (kitchen and bedrooms). I would stay here again.- Posted: 10/26/2021

Amazing!!!
This property was everything we imagined and more! The in suite rooms were perfect! Everyone had their own bathroom and tv! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need to prepare any meal. I loved that all the rooms opened up to the big living area and kitchen with an amazing view and direct access to the beach. The garage had chairs, floating devices, fishing rods and everything you could want. You won’t be disappointed!!- Posted: 9/12/2021

This house checked all the boxes!
Your house was perfect for our 7 adults and 4 children. Only 20 minutes from the airport... 4 bedrooms with attached bathrooms... all on one level... right on the sand for all our children's gear... fabulous kitchen for entertaining... outside shower for sandy bodies... close to the grocery! We had a wonderful stay, and hope to do it again!- Posted: 7/28/2021
Awesome! Thank you for the great review, your description is perfect and helpful for our future guests. We hope to have you back soon, summer of 2022 will sell out quick! Gulf Coast GetawaysFlorida Gulf Coast Getaways staff

Beautifully renovated beach house with amazing view
We enjoyed our week at this beach house so much! We were there for a friends and family reunion, celebrating the 4th of July and enjoyed the amazing Blue Angels! The layout of the house was great for everyone and just beautifully decorated and updated! They are not kidding when they say fully stocked kitchen - we had plenty of supplies! Originally I was told there was no secure storage on the ground level, so we did not bring our kayak. But upon arriving, we rec'd the garage code, so there is storage on the ground level! We were bummed since we left our kayak back home (7 hours away), but we managed any how. Also, there is a kuerig machine. That was one other minor missed detail I asked about. Overall, I would definitely recommend and stay here again! Thank you!!- Posted: 7/22/2021

Excellent Stay
Really enjoyed the house and it’s location. Was excited that home was exactly as it was presented in the listing. Kitchen was awesome with the large gas oven and tons of room for our big family to cook meals. Beach was everyone’s favorite and we spent every day playing in the most perfect sand we’ve ever been to.- Posted: 5/30/2021

Nice house for family trip to the beach.
Beautiful beach, nice house. Easy process to book and strong communication with property management. House has a few quirks, the professional grade oven/cook top could use instructions, one master bedroom has no closet or dresser to use other than a makeshift contraption placed in a walkway, etc. Great beach front with short walk to the water, however it is next to the public access for the community which can create congestion on the beach.- Posted: 8/30/2020
Thank you for the great 5 star review! Our vacation guests love this house and location! There is a booklet in the house that has the appliance instructions, you must have missed that, no big deal. There is public access location throughout the residential portion of Pensacola Beach, however because there is very limited public parking and tons of beach space the beach never gets crowded. Thanks again and hope to have you back soon - Gulf Coast GetawaysFlorida Gulf Coast Getaways staff

Really great property
We had a great beach vacation, staying in this property. Just steps to the water, short drive to restaurants and shops, great space for a group of our size and the open concept was perfect for hanging out together. Love that every room had their own bathroom and the finishes/amenities were great. The management company was super easy to work with and the text concierge was very responsive and helpful. Great overall experience.- Posted: 11/14/2019

CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!!!
We had an amazing time at this beach front house. Can't beat being steps from the beautiful sand and beach. The house is fully remodeled, clean, bright and open concept. Exactly as the pictures here. All the bedrooms are very comfortable and loved that each has it's own bathroom. That's a big plus. The kitchen is fully stocked and has enough space for your own storage. The area is quiet and peaceful. Just what we were looking for. On one side of the house there is another house and on the other side there is a path for beach access, so it's nice to have that extra space between the houses. The management company is super responsive and everything went very smoothly, from pre-check to check out. We were missing a deck umbrella and they brought us one right away !!! :) The 'only' con is that the house smelled like pesticides as well as the garage. We didn't see any bugs, which is good, but the smell was a little overwhelming. Don't forget to take your own beach umbrellas and chairs. There are restaurants and grocery stores, bikes rentals and so on nearby. One negative thing is that time went by so fast in this beautiful place! Nobody wanted to leave.. We made awesome family memories!!!!. Can't wait to come back!- Posted: 9/11/2019

Beautiful home on the beach!!!!!
Such a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday stay on the beach at this beautiful home. The beach is just steps away and the accommodations are more than ample for a large family. I highly recommend this home for any occasion and hope that we are fortunate enough to stay again!- Posted: 12/11/2018
