Finally! A beach condo decorated and furnished for and by young, contemporary professionals with all-inclusive rates. No gimmicky themes, no tacky decorations, no white washed furniture, fake plants or tropical patterns! No hidden expenses or added fees. This unit was decorated and furnished as if we live here, with no expenses spared.  From elevator to beach - 50 yards! takes less than 60 seconds to walk to National Seashore!!!!!

A TRUE professional's home away from home with designer furnishings, gourmet kitchen, and contemporary art. This unit offers breathtaking views of the Pensacola sound and you are only footsteps away from white sand beaches and crystal clear waters of Pensacola Beach.

PLEASE NOTE: in order to keep our unit operating to our high standards, we have had to institute an EXCESSIVE CLEANING/KEY RETURN fee to all guests. All guests, no matter how many nights rental, will pay a cleaning deposit of $150 in addition to the standard cleaning that is included. In the event that there is excessive uncleanliness, e.g. vomitus, feces, excessive garbage, trash, dirty dishes, then additional maid services will be deducted from this deposit. Additionally, if keys are not returned within 7 days, rekeying of the locks will be deducted from this deposit. It is unfortunate that some guests do not respect our home as we do, and we hope that this will prevent any excessive gross negligence of our home. Once the maid verifies that the unit is in standard expected "wear and tear/use" and all keys are returned, then the $150 is returned via check to the guest.

 Additionally: Use of the Stainless Grill on the balcony is not included with rental. Due to recent abuse and negligence by guests, the grill is only available once a $25 plus tax grill cleaning fee is paid. The fee can be selected and paid for upon booking; once paid, the keys will be supplied along with all other unit keys and rental packet. Without payment of the grill cleaning fee, the grill will remain locked during a guests stay.

Feel comfortable kicking back in your flip flops with a cocktail, entertaining a business associate, or hosting a dinner party.  We truly wanted a place to live and play but not sacrifice the amenities we have come to expect and depend upon.
