We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bayou Front Home. The home was comfortably furnished with a well equipped kitchen so we were able to cook in and invite our family members to visit with us there. The kitchen and bathrooms were updated with high quality plumbing and appliances. We particularly enjoyed the pretty backyard and the deck by the canal, especially in the mornings. There was even a cardinal’s nest we could observe from the sun room window. Michelle was quick to respond to our questions. The house exterior could use some attention, but that in no way detracted from our stay. We would love to stay there again on our next trip to Pensacola.

We had a 5 day stay and the home was very cozy. It was perfect for 2 children (3&12) and 3 adults. The little dock was perfect for them to fish. Just beware as any place we did spot a water snake. Over all we really enjoyed our stay at this property.

Great Location and Excellent Communication

We had a great time staying at this property! The canal access was a highlight and made for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The location was fantastic—close to everything we needed, which was super convenient.The house itself could use a little TLC, but for the price, we can’t complain too much. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathrooms were spacious, which we really appreciated.The property managers were excellent with communication and made sure our stay went smoothly. Overall, a solid 4-star experience! We’d consider staying again.

Needs a little help to make it home

The house was super clean and had all the right essentials. Host answered right away with any questions that I had. The house itself is pretty inside but definitely needs a lot of professional adjustments ( floors, gutters falling down, landscaping). The neighborhood is ok. For the price, it’s worth it.

Quiet gem on the Bayou

The home had plenty of space, comfy beds, quiet and cosy with any and all needs covered within. The home definitely has character! We felt at home and enjoyed our stay immensely. I meditated on the dock every morning and was delighted by the nature activity out on and over the water. We sat around the fire pit at night and had a lot of family fun. The vibe in the house is welcoming and cheerful, and provided a perfect place for lots of laughter. The kitchen is spacious and had everything we needed to prepare meals, etc. We did NOT want to leave and will definitely rent again if available next time we are in Pensacola. Shopping and restaurants convenient as well. LOVE THIS PLACE!

Great short stay getaway

My husband and I plus our 3 kids (15,19&20) stayed at the house for 3 nights. It was a very comfortable stay for us. Lots of space. Beds were ok. Kitchen had everything we needed for our stay there. We didn’t cook, but if we wanted to, they had everything you would need to do so. Amazing backyard with a dock overlooking the river. The kids found a paddle board outside and had fun with that one evening. They also fished from the dock (caught one catfish). We were in town for the McGuires 5K. So it was a good location for us, not too far from our destination. We plan on returning for next years 5K. I would definitely stay at this property again!!

The house needs some major repairs

The photos for the property must be from as it was built. When we arrived the floors in home are all broken, cracked, or sunk in all over the house. The couch was broken on one side. The back deck had some rotted boards that were a safety trip hazard. The floors in the kitchen were sunk in enough to cause anything you cooked on the stove top to slip toward the back of the stove. Aside from those issues the home was fine.

This should not be a vrbo listing!!!! It is a dump!! The current listing is so inaccurate! First the lot is a dump, yard and walk, front step unkept, door dirty. Wasp nests with active wasps on underside of door awning. Back deck furniture not complete, no cushion on love seat. No firepit as shown in photos. Inside the floors are ALL UNEVEN!! And put together with random pieces! Attempt at facelift unsuccessful. Difficult to walk throughout house honestly without feeling you’re drunk or on a cruise ship. Windows and ledges dingy. No hot water in back shower. Mattresses uncomfortable. Sofas very worn cushions don’t fit well. Kitchen towels in drawer dirty. Old dried out coffee grounds left in pot. This was the worse place we have ever stayed in and so misrepresented on listing!!!!
