About this space

We don’t charge a cleaning fee for this home!  Welcome to the Beach House… Though not on the beach, this home is inspired by our local area which is well known for our soft white sand beaches. There is a nearby park for the kiddos, a kayak launch, fishing pier, boat launches, etc. Pensacola NAS is also just a short drive from the home. Guests have full use of the home, carport, and small sectioned backyard with deck for sitting, though don’t have access to the garage or the main backyard where owner’s still keep personal items. Guests have a deck in the backyard to enjoy. Only 5 minutes to downtown Pensacola and 15-20 minutes to the beach. Gentrification is occurring and you will see a mix of homes (new construction to updated to those not yet revitalized), but it is generally quiet and very safe. Contactless check-in/out via electronic front/side door locks. Garbage/recycle cans on location and maintenance will stop by to move them to the curb and back on schedule. Free WiFi. No Cleaning Fee at Beach House and we cover ABB’s guest service fee!
Older construction, but clean home! Parking on driveway, under carport, and on the small patch of ground to the left of the driveway/right of walkway. No smoking/vaping!
Beach House is over 50 years old and, though greatly cared for, shows its age in some places. Expect to find some loving wear, quaint aging and charming patina both inside and outside. It is a block-built home, which was once the rage in Florida as they can generally withstand up to 250mph wind, though they don’t tend to have the same aesthetic appeal as a traditional stick built home, therefore requiring a little more creativity with colors. 🙂 The home boasts two bedrooms and one full bath. Bedrooms have queen beds. The home has central heat and air conditioning. The living room and both bedrooms have TVs, though you will need to use your own login credentials for access to Prime, Netflix, Hulu, etc. We do have the Tubi app installed and The Roku Channel, which have news stations and movies available with no logon needed. No cable is provided. We continue to make upgrades when the home is vacant. There is a washer and dryer in the home for your use, though you will need to supply your own detergent. There is a toaster and single serve Keurig coffee maker in the kitchen, as well as all of the typical pots/pans needed to make a home meal. Spare linens for the beds are in the linen closet when booking longer than 2 night stays, as well as bath/beach/hand towels and washcloths. The dining table can seat 4-6. 5 minutes to downtown Pensacola and 15-20 minutes (depending on traffic) to Pensacola Beach. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Guests have access to the entire home, front yard, and a fenced/sectioned of the backyard. Owners utilize the primary/separated backyard for storing personal items, though never access the property while a guest is booked.

The following notes are common questions we receive, so we figured we’d provide some answers here. This list will likely grow as we receive additional questions.

1) I have a prescription for medical marijuana, what are your rules? No smoking/vaping in or around the home! If you have a prescription for medicinal purposes that are in the vape/smoke form, please do it far from the entry doors/windows. If you are a smoker, please do so by the street, then properly extinguish the butt and dispose of it in the outside waste container.

2) Do you provide an additional discount for military/first responders? While we truly honor our military and first responders, we are unable to provide additional discounts beyond what is currently advertised; we are already one of the most price efficient hosts in the area, plus we don’t charge for cleaning and cover the ABB service charge.

3) Why don’t you charge a cleaning fee like others? We feel that guests who aren’t charged a cleaning fee will help us out by keeping the home as tidy as possible. We still pay our cleaning team a fair wage, but that comes out of our pocket based on the hours put into the home. The cleaner the home, the less we pay, and therefore we can keep the overall cost of the home down for our guests.

4) Are there any TVs in the home, and if so, what channels are provided? A TV is provided in the living room and forward bedroom; they are FireTVs with Tubi and The Roku Channel (no account needed), as well as Netflix, Amazon, etc available for you to log in with your existing account credentials. Cable/antenna is not provided at this time, though Tubi has news, movies, etc, which are similar to cable television.

5) How close is the home to the beach? ~20 minutes. The airport? ~10 minutes. Downtown Pensacola? ~5 minutes.

6) How’s the noise level? The home is in a residential area that is generally quiet with courteous neighbors on either side.

7) Where do I place my garbage? We have waste bins in each bedroom and the bathroom for regular garbage. We also have a garbage bin and recycle bin in the kitchen under the window. The primary cans, garbage (green top) and recycle (grey top), are to the right of the home. Garbage/recycle pickup is on Wednesday, so we will be drive by on Tuesday at some random time to move the cans to the street, then back by on Wednesday/Thursday to move them back to the right of the home; no interaction with the guest is needed during those times.

8) How do we check-in? Will you meet us at the home? We offer contactless check-in and out. You will be given a 4 digit code to enter the home via keypad at the front door. The code will be the last 4 digits of your phone number used at the time of booking.

9) When is yard work performed? Yard duties are performed during non-booked dates as to not interfere with guests, though during the busier season with back-to-back dates booked, we may need to perform some yard duties while a guest is staying; during those times, we will alert the guest ahead of time as needed.

10) How is parking? There is a driveway with a carport capable of holding multiple vehicles as needed. Please don’t park on the grass due to engine heat and leaks tend to damage the lawn that struggles as it is with our Florida heat.

11) Can I check in early or check-out late? An early check-in or check-out is available, up to 2 hours before/after scheduled arrival/departure time, for an additional $50 charge if requested 24+ hours prior to check-in. We don’t charge for cleaning, though still pay for it, therefore we get a substantial discount by allowing ourselves to be on housekeeping’s schedule with whatever works best for them. For $50, they will allow us to schedule a specific time for housekeeping so that we can work with a guest’s early arrival or late departure; we simply pass this cost over to the guest.

12) Do I get the entire home or just a private room? Guests have the entire home, carport, and a private section of the backyard accessible just beyond the right side door. Access is not provided to the garage or main backyard area that is fenced off separate.

13) Beach Towels are available upon request, though please note that we will ask for a $10 reimbursement charge if they are not returned to the home; thank you.
