Great location! We rented The Great Escape for 4 nights. The house was in very good condition and seemed fairly new. Overall was perfect for our large family. Eight adults and eight children. The only negative was the elevator didn’t work at the time and would have helped hauling baby stuff. But it is what it is. Would definitely rent again. ##### David M.

Jul 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great House Everything about the home was perfect except for the lack of towel bars in the bathrooms. 6 bathrooms with no place to hang towels didn't make sense to us. Front door sticks and makes it very difficult for people to open and close, especially children. Air conditioner is leaking outside and could cause problems with wood rotting in the support system below. We loved the house and are just offering these observations for the owners. ##### Sheila M.

Each couple had a private room and bath to retreat to when they wanted privacy or chose to retire. The common area was very spacious and easily accommodated the 12 of us when we chose to eat or do other activities together. We could even have serparate activities going on in the same room without conflict. The pool area was well-maintained and easily accommodated all of us. (I would advise requesting that the pool be heated if you go in October or later.) The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, pots and cooking utensils. All appliances worked as expected; when we had an issue with the TV, Debi sent a maintenance man immediately and when he could not fix the problem, the TV was replaced the next morning. The location of the property was a huge bonus. The beach is literally across the street! I would definitely recommend this property, especially for large groups. ##### Patricia T.

Our large extended family loved this property. The pool was amazing-especially the tanning ledge for small children. There is excellent proximity to the beach as described and we had 4 children under 5 years of age. The breeze and views at night were wonderful. The kitchen is fully stocked and there is a beach closet loaded with everything imaginable. My only suggestion would be adding room darkening shades. The blinds are transparent which made sleeping past dawn with small children tricky. Otherwise, perfect! ##### Ashley G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glynn G.

Each bedroom has their own bathroom, the kitchen island was incredible, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need during your stay for cooking and entertaining and the extra refrigerator and wine cooler fridge was great! There is a beach/pool closet downstairs for your beach and pool necessities…a few beach chairs, toys, boogie boards, beach wagon…all beach umbrellas were broke though. The pool was a big hit with the kids too! Plenty of parking and just a few steps away from the beach. The beach is by far the cleanest beach we have seen. Never crowded and just beautiful! Few minute drive to restaurants, bars and entertainment. My only suggestion is to put towel hooks or towel bars in the bathrooms because we had no where to hang towels, wet bathing suits, or travel bags. We will definitely be going back!! ##### Jessica S. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John D. Mar 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family Getaway Lucky Thirteen of us made this property our family home for seven days in early March, with our adult kids and their young children. We thoroughly enjoyed our time! This single-level house is comfortably furnished and offers plenty of space with six sizeable bedrooms, each with a full ensuite bathroom. The kitchen is spacious and fully equipped with two ovens and plenty of pantry and counter space for multiple chefs at the same time. The additional refrigerator nearby in the laundry room also came in handy. The gathering spaces, indoor and out, are large and provided ideal space for everyone to eat, relax and spend time together. The huge front deck was a favorite place to hang out, enjoy the breeze and gulf view, and it gave the grandchildren lots of room to play safely. The crow’s nest was a perfect spot for retreat or to watch some beautiful sunsets. There was plenty of parking under and in front of the house. The house is located steps from the beach with a sandy access path directly across the street. As this section of the island is primarily residences and rental homes, the beaches were never crowded. The family also enjoyed the safety-gated pool and fenced grounds in the back of the property – we did opt to have the pool heater turned on as the evenings were cool. The property management company was efficient and very timely in answering the few questions we had and the check-in and out process was seamless. The property was clean and well maintained and we appreciated having access to the elevator for hauling luggage and groceries up to the main level. Pensacola Beach is a hidden gem, having, in our opinion, the most beautiful beaches and coastline in the US. There are many good restaurants and entertaining bars in the area, and a major grocery store nearby in Gulf Breeze. We visited in early March, just before Spring Break and were blessed with warm temperatures and no rain! We will definitely be back to Pensacola Beach and highly recommend this property for any large family gatherings. ##### John D. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danny M.

The bbq grill was very small and half of the burners worked sporadically, which made grilling for 15 hungry people difficult. The pool was not heated, it was an extra charge per day. The Wi-Fi was not great and normally not a problem because we’re at the beach, except it was cold and rainy a few days. There is a sound ordinance which means no louder than conversation after 10, pm no music no hanging outside or the lady across the street wil call sheriff. I respect that it’s a very nice residential area but also mostly beach rentals and we are on vacation at the beach which means 15 people outside on deck is going to violate sound ordinance. This strictly enforced and the sheriff drives up and down street every 15-30 minutes. You also have to provide toilet paper and paper towels. I felt like for $8500 for the week the grill, heated pool and toilet paper should be included. Overall it is very beautiful lovely home near the beach, management was very helpful, check in/check out was very easy. ##### karen m.

This house was THE BEST rental I have every occupied, and it made our stay in Pensacola even better! The owner and property manager were both super friendly. The house was immaculate, and everything inside is high-end and gorgeous. This house was brand new when we stayed (I believe we were the 3rd party to every stay there), and we had NO issues at all with any of the amenities. We had 20 adults staying in the house, but it definitely did not feel like it! We all had plenty of room with all the beds and seating areas, both inside and out. We spent every morning sitting on the patio furniture on the huge wrap-around balcony drinking coffee and eating breakfast. We used the huge gas grill downstairs to make burgers by the pool one day, and we were right across the street from Gulf. All in all--beautiful house, incredible views, and GREAT trip! ##### Stephanie R. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Shorewalk Vacation Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-Shorewalk-Vacation-Villas.h13316.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Palm-Beach.h20271.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Beach House Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Margaritaville-Beach-House-Key-West.h48713884.Hotel-Information) > > [Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Singer-Island-Hotels-Palm-Beach-Marriott-Singer-Island-Beach-Resort-Spa.h449170.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [Beachside Hotel & Suites Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Beachside-Hotel-Suites.h4995.Hotel-Information) > > [The Colony Hotel Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Hotels-Colony-Hotel-Palm-Beach.h8074.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h4398.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Canaveral, FL](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1489240.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Ocean Walk Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Ocean-Walk.h598390.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Edgewater Beach and Golf Resort by Southern Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Panama-City-Hotels-Edgewater-Beach-And-Golf-Resort-By-Resort-Collection.h803238.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Cocoa Beach - Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Best-Western-Cocoa-Beach-Hotel-Suites.h18029.Hotel-Information) > > [PGA National Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Beach-Gardens-Hotels-PGA-National-Resort-And-Spa.h10355.Hotel-Information) > > [Tranquility Bay Beachfront Hotel and Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Tranquility-Bay-Beachfront-Hotel-And-Resort.h117099.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Island Luxury | Home in Windsor Island Resort, Private Pool, Arcade](https://www.expedia.ca/Davenport-Hotels-Windsor-Island-Luxury-NEW-Home-In-Windsor-Island-Resort.h60809096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Naples-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Coconut-Point-Resort-Spa.h792025.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Port Canaveral](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Port-Canaveral.h15605.Hotel-Information) > > [Baker's Cay Resort Key Largo, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-Largo-Hotels-Bakers-Cay-Resort-Key-Largo.h14042.Hotel-Information) > > [The Resort at Longboat Key Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Sarasota-Hotels-The-Resort-At-Longboat-Key-Club.h27542.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Resort at the Port](https://www.expedia.ca/Cape-Canaveral-Hotels-Radisson-Resort-At-The-Port.h4692.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Key RV Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Long-Key-Hotels-Fiesta-Key-RV-Resort.h4578886.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama House](https://www.expedia.ca/Daytona-Beach-Hotels-Bahama-House.h893658.Hotel-Information) > > [Vacation Village at Weston, Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Vacation-Village-At-Weston.h1062880.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Vacation Club at Beach House, Key West](https://www.expedia.ca/Key-West-Hotels-Hyatt-Vacation-Club-At-Beach-House.h857962.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Grand Vacations Club in Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Miramar-Beach-Hotels-Embarc-Sandestin.h1054729.Hotel-Information) > > [Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Myers-Hotels-Pink-Shell-Beach-Resort-And-Marina.h15603.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.ca/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-Hilton-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h12537.Hotel-Information)
