    Great backyard for the dog and people. The greatest asset of the home is it's location, but the decor and comfy is tied for for best asset too!

    The Red Door is a fantastic Vrbo. We park the car in the driveway and walk everywhere - to downtown, the waterfront, numerous local restaurants with a variety of price points, museums, etc. Besides location, the amenities are top notch. The kitchen is well-equipped, linens are plentiful, living room seating is comfortable. It’s a wonderful choice.

    RED door “Hawkins house” circa 1880, is the finest in town craftsman, bungalow house we’ve ever stayed in. Our son attends UWF - 15 min away from this house: it was perfect. two blocks to the bay, walk in the parks, five minute walk downtown, 10 minute walk to the wahoo stadium; walkable restaurants, one minute away, sushi, pubs, local Mexican & live music, one minute away. This place is amazing : took a 3 hour boat ride over at Pensacola beach; Centrally located & definitely will be back - loved our three day getaway, vacationing from the forgotten coast of Florida.

    Beautiful historical house in a quality neighborhood. The host was so accommodating and gave great advice on local eateries and things to do. Easy to get around town from the house. Super cute!

    The Red Door was a great place to stay in Downtown Pensacola. The property manager, Gloria, was responsive, helpful, and very pleasant. The location was great and very walkable to nearby restaurants, parks, and shops. The 150 year old home has lots of charm compared to many of the newer rentals downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this home, manager, and owners.

    Very spacious, clean, nicely updated, and very well equipped. Location is walking to downtown for eating and shopping. Also, not far drive to the beach. Would stay again when in town!

    This is an adorable cottage and so nicely and thoughtfully furnished. My husband andI I were in Pensacola with two granddaughters for our grandson's high school graduation. The location was perfect for walking around the historic district and downtown (including to our grandson:'s graduation venue). There was plenty of parking to accommodate the kids' and grandkids' comings and goings through the week.The one thing that renters might note is that the bunk room is off the downstairs (master) bedroom and you have to go through it to access the master bath. It was fine for our granddaughters to share, but wouldn't provide a third private bedroom space.

    This historic home, and in particular its location, exceeded our expectations. We’ve been coming to Pensacola for 20 years, but never stayed in the downtown area. We were able to walk to endless food options and the bustle of downtown. We live in a historic home, so we’re partial to that kind of charm… but this home is beautiful and clean and roomy and cozy.

    We went for a girlfriend getaway and this was the perfect house and location. From sitting on the front porch drinking coffee to walking to shops and restaurants we loved it. The house has been updated and kept historic at the same time. I will definitely recommend this to friends and family.

    This was our first time with Vrbo. We came to visit our Sailor at the local base. The location is close to the airport, very close to Downtown, and many restaurants. It is such a charming home with all the necessary comforts to make you feel at home. The communication with the host, Gloria was EXCELLENT. The home is spacious and incredibly clean. While we didn’t use the yard, it is very large and well maintained. We absolutely enjoyed our time here and we would absolutely book another experience here if we plan to revisit the Pensacola area. Gloria, was in touch with us immediately upon booking and was very attentive and helpful for the duration of our visit. She was an absolute pleasure. My entire family had an amazing time here. We absolutely loved our time here at the Red Door.
