Soundside - Stunning Gulf Views, Steps to Beach!

Thanks for following up on this rental. The listing for this rental is misleading. This rental does not have any kind of Gulf view. The bay view is certainly limited to a 2nd story deck, but we have 2 Seniors who are the reason for this trip in wheelchairs so they can't view anything. We had a musty smell in the living room and I saw Damp Rid in the cabinet (I understand why). When you walked in the living room area you could tell musty smell. We have 6 adults and the bed situation is not ideal. This is the first VRBO we've stayed at that doesn't have the bare minimums in the kitchen and not even extra toilet paper or soap in bathroom. Beds, floors, furnishings look like they were1970s and leave a lot to be desired. We are very displeased and feel we overpaid. Thanks for listening and anything you can do.

Let’s start with the good stuff! The location is great. Very close to the beach. It’s conveniently located, approximately 2.2 miles, to the tourist shops/restaurants. There is a trolley that you can access but we happened to visit when the trolley wasn’t running (late March). The kitchen is actually bigger than it looks. All appliances work well. Now the not so good stuff. The house needs a deep clean. There is a mild mildew odor. Most of the windows don’t have screens so airing out the house was limited. There wasn’t a vacuum in the home, but I called guest services and they brought one to us that evening. I was told the one they brought was newly purchased, it was basically a dust buster on a stick. Seriously, it wasn’t effective. Did make me wonder if the house was vacuumed before we arrived because the cleaning company told me where to look for the vacuum and it wasn’t at any location they suggested… actually it wasn’t at any guest accessible location in the house. Master bedroom doesn’t have closet, all clothes must be put in a dresser or hooks on bathroom door. A couple guests rooms don’t have access to dresser so forced to leave clothes in luggage. I will chose to stay somewhere else on my next visit.

Look it is a good vibe spot!!! We own a Lot down the street and we wanted to get an idea of what we have to look forward too and I glad we chose this house! I will seek after this spot again until we build.

The house was peaceful and quiet

This VRBO has the perfect balance of beach activity and quiet. You can walk to either the bayside or the Gulf side for water. The bayside beach is small and surrounded by docks, but the Gulf side is wide-open, perfect for long walks. We enjoyed our stay. The place is excellent. Just down the street from Pensacola's hustle and bustle, the free trolley has a pickup just a short walk from the front door. The unit has a spotless, nice kitchen and lovely decor. There are some beach toys in the garage, which we helped ourselves to. The four-star review is due to a lack of supplies. We were given a limited amount of TP, two trash bags, and very little dish soap. By very little TP, I mean two rolls—one roll for each bathroom. I get that they don't want to stock the place to the gills, but between the TP, Dish Soap, and trash bags, it was inconvenient to buy these items during a vacation.

Overall a fabulous house to entertain and relax. The upstairs patio is fabulous to sit and enjoy the sunset.

The house was beautiful. We loved our stay!

My fiancée and I booked this beautiful home and we were planning on getting married on the beach. We stayed with my 2 grown children, and 3 friends. Place was amazing! We ended up getting married in the backyard. Beautiful sand, views and a quick walk to the beach for sunset pictures. We had such an amazing time and this home exceeded all expectations and I couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! Thank you so much for letting us share our special moment here! It will forever hold a special place in our hearts and memories!

Very cute property- good location. Very clean. Short easy walk to the beach. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful time.
