We brought our two young kids (1 and 2) to the condo in Early May 2012. We weren't sure what to expect as we hadn't been to the area before. We were concerned about the second level with the kids, etc; but in reality the entire condo is on one level, the patio railings are narrow enough to prevent either kid from falling out or sticking their head between. We just put all the breakable stuff up high and had a nice week. The two deep covered parking was very nice, we used a double wide bike kid trailer to take the kids, umbrella, toys etc to the beach and just left it in front of the truck every night.

The sound beach was so convenient, like walking across my back yard to get to the ocean; plus is was calmer so I didn't hear "Daddy the water coming, water coming" in a panic. The kitchen was well equipped and the condo was in nice shape, we didn't go to the pool once.

Shopped at the Gulf Breeze Publix, really nothing on Pensacola Beech. Would recommend the Gulf Breeze Zoo (North Florida Zoo), buy the feed and feed on a stick, the kids didn't want to leave. "Crabs, we go em" and "Flounders" were nice places to eat with kids as they had playgrounds built into the beach within the restaurant, you can sit and eat right next to the beach and the kids can play while you wait. "Crabs," had hermit crab races that quite amusing, unfortunately had my daughter wanting to go back nightly to see her "momo" crab. She even walked about 1/2 mile from the ocean side beach of the condo towards the boardwalk cause she associated the fishing pier with "Crabs." Blue Angels from the end of Ft Pickens Beach was very cool, right overhead, some neat birds, crabs and jellies down there to show the kids as well.

Hope to go back yearly!

We've rented in Pensacola Beach before. We had three generations on our trip. The layout of the condo is spacious and everyone had a place to relax and do their own thing. The kitchen is the biggest we've ever had in a vacation rental, and it was well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. The living areas and bedrooms were comfortable. The condo has a view of the sound, and we saw the most incredible sunsets. The gulf beach across the street provided hours of fun for the kids. This location was quiet and ideally located for our group. Since it is the last development before you enter Fort Pickens, traffic is light and the area is quiet. We loved it and plan to return in the future.

We really enjoyed staying at the condo--nice views of the Sound and a great beach to walk on the Sound and the Gulf. It is near the end of the road and the beaches aren't crowded. Nice sitting on the deck to watch the sunset, drink a glass of wine or read a book. Very nice!
