The up-and-coming downtown community is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, known for its restaurants, breweries, nightlife, and pet-friendly, relaxed feel.

Fort Pickens is a short drive and makes for a fun day trip any time of year. In summer, anglers flock to the Gulf for world-class red snapper fishing season. Don’t miss the Pensacola Seafood Festival, Pensacon, or the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival—family-friendly events all within a short distance. Bruce's Beach Park, complete with kayak launch and Mahogany Mills Boat launch are both less than a mile away, or for a unique way to explore, try a Segway tour downtown. Other favorites include the Double Bridge Run in February, Bands on the Beach concerts, the Pensacola Beach Art & Wine Festival. Additionally, on the third Friday of each month year round, downtown Pensacola comes alive during Gallery Night Pensacola, a free, family-friendly event featuring local artists, live music, food trucks, and themed festivities that transform the streets into a bustling cultural experience. With its rich blend of culture, cuisine, and community spirit Pensacola offers something for everyone.

Excellent Air Band B in Historic District

This home is an old charmer from the 40s. Extremely well maintained in the St. john’s district. Great yard for the dogs. Close to all downtown attractions yet far enough away to have peace and quiet. Around the corner is the St. john’s cemetery with the first interment in the 1860s. Definite recommend

The house was amazing! Beautiful decor and plenty of room for everyone. The outdoor entertainment room was a big hit with the teen and young adults, ping pong and corn hole kept them entertained. The fire pit and gas heater on the patio was perfect for the chilly weekend.

Perfect house for family or friend fun

The house is just like you see in the pictures and is perfect for a family get away. It has everything you need for your stay so don’t worry about beach towels or chairs or an umbrella they have you covered. There is even a cooler for you to use. Everything was very nice and in the perfect location.

This is a gem!! Close to town and a short drive to the beaches. Quiet neighborhood that is lovely to walk around. The home has an amazing back yard. The home itself is charming and makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in. The home has everything you will need, and even some extras we had not even thought of.

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS - 10 out of 10

The Simmons House far exceeded our expectations. The owners / managers have thought of EVERYTHING! Every little detail was covered from dog treats and dog toys to bath linens and beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, toys and cooler) to coffee and laundry soap. Everything exceeded expectations, the decor, the beds, the pillows, the appliances, the fully enclosed fenced in yard and the list goes on and on. Not only would I / we recommend the Simmons House, but we will most definitely stay there again.

An amazing wedding location

This rental was the perfect location for my wedding. The backyard is spacious enough for a small intimate gathering of family and friends. All the bedrooms were cozy, however the master bedroom was dreamy. I honestly could go on about the look of the place because you can tell they put care into making is a home away from home. The welcome packet with suggestions for things to do and places to eat locally was well thought of ,bad I'm saying this as a native of Pensacola FL who came back to get married. The neighborhood is quiet and nice where it is located. Anyway we had a blast and I will definitely cherish the memories. I would have loved to stay longer. That is how much I enjoyed being there.
