Ariola 1007 - Following Seas

We loved this home. It’s clean, the beds are so comfortable. The view was amazing and the house is organized and very welcoming.

This was our first time renting with Paradise Beach Homes, and the entire experience was fantastic! We have been going to Pemsacola the last 15 years and this was by far the best home we've stayed in. We already booked again for next Labor Day! If your considering Pensacola as your next vacation destination, be sure to rent from Paradise, and give "Following Seas" a try if you have a big group!!

Our family has been rented several houses, both along the Gulf coast and the Carolina coasts; this was hands down the best house we’ve stayed. Large, spacious areas, multiple TVs if that is your thing. The separate bath for each bedroom was phenomenal. The best equipped kitchen we’ve ever had. Every time someone said “I wonder if they have a _______, they sure did! The decks were unobstructed views of the gulf. We are already planning a return trip. ( the only “negative” was the decks needed ceiling fans outside, but how often do you go to the Gulf and the temps be set to ‘hell’? So I really wouldn’t call it a negative…

We’ve had a wonderful experience for the past 4 years! Beautiful property and very spacious for our big family. We love it and look forward to it every year!

I’ve been returning to the Gulf every summer for 40+ years (a different house each year), and this is my favorite!
Huge, well equipped kitchen, two refrigerators, 2 sinks, 2 dishwashers, 2 gas grills, even 2 stacked washer/dryers. And an ice maker.
Lots of seating on the two Gulf-facing decks. No fussy decorations.
Paradise Beach Homes provided extraordinary customer service.
My only disappointment (being a California eco-freak) is that there is no longer a recycling bin for street pickup - you have to transport it to a bin behind the rental office. NBD, though. I realize many don’t care.
We enjoyed the very clean pool, the simple bar opening to the pool area and the spacious carport. Hot shower outside is an added frill.
Gulf view is unobstructed, as the lot across the street is vacant.
Ten stars!

Myself and 27 College friends had a great time, this is our second year staying at 1007 Ariola and 11 year coming to Pensacola Beach and we have used Paradise Beach Rental everytime. The house is great, location great. Paradise does a great job every year of having the house ready and clean for our annual visit. We will be back.

Wow, what a great house and a fantastic location. So close to the beautiful white sand beach and wonderful dining / fun. Would definitely recommend this awesome house!

We were lucky enough to get in a couple of hours early which helped after a 14 hour drive from Kansas City, MO. The house had everything we expected. Everything was clean and organized. There were no surprises and this was our 4th family vacation with 20 people. 11 adults and 9 grandkids. We are definitely booking this house for our next trip. The closeness to the beach and all the amenities were fabulous. Thank you for memories that will last a life time.

This 8 bedroom home was more than spacious for our family (total of 24) and the location was perfect! Less than a minute walk LTP the beach, the heated pool was an added bonus. Although the weather was unseasonably windy. The only issue we had was with the stove but it was repaired within two hours of calling Paradise Beach representative. We have zero complaints and will highly recommend to any large group. Also, the booking process was extremely smooth and everyone I spoke with was friendly and helpful in securing the perfect home for our vacation. If I could I’d give more stars!! Highly Recommend

We had an Amazing time. Let’s start with the home. It was absolutely amazing. Now the steps are steep just be prepared for that. But once you get into the house your probably won’t leave the house. It’s beautiful the kitchen is stunning. The views of the ocean breathtaking. 100/100 loved it. We went off season so the area was pretty quiet and they were doing construction on most of the restaurants.

Manager's Response

We loved this house! The large kitchen/living room/dining room really served our family well. We stayed over the Thanksgiving week and cooked every meal together. The kitchen was stocked pretty well for all our needs. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, and we used all 8 of them. Would definitely recommend this house for family gatherings. We did not use the pool since the weather was cool and it was not heated. But the beach was just across the beach and easy access for all.

Our family- 10 adults and 13 children- spent a wonderful week together. The house was so big that we never felt crowded at all! There was ample supplies of dishes, etc and the 2 dishwashers made meal time easy. Highly recommend this house and hope to return sometime in the future.

Everything was perfect and clean! Will definitely use this house again.

Perfect size and location for large group with access to beach and large pool area.

Manager's Response

This home was amazing! We had 10 adults and 8 kids under 8 that had a great spring break. The close walk over the dune to the quiet beach and the backyard pool worked out very nicely. Each family had their own room and the bunk rooms were perfect for the older kids. We plan to return and can’t wait for our next trip!

We needed a house that would accommodate our family for our son's wedding. This one worked perfectly.

Manager's Response

We loved our stay at Following Seas! It has everything you need. The views are amazing and the beach access across the street is perfect. Such a wonderful experience.

Manager's Response

This house was absolutely perfect for our group. We are locals staying locally for Mardi Gras. The house was very nicely decorated. They layout was perfect for our group of friends. We had a large group, but it did not feel like it because the house is so spacious with so many places to hang out and socialize. Would highly recommend for any type of group event for locals or out of towners!

Manager's Response

Pictures do not do it justice! Spacious, well furnished, great views...the owners designed this home with every amenity in mind. Every bedroom has it's own private bath and there was plenty of room in the main gathering area for all guests to dwell. The best house on the beach!!

We LOVED this place! The pictures accurately depicts what the beach house looks like! It had plenty of space for our 25 people and we weren't bumping into one another! We had our wedding on the beach across the street and our reception poolside. It was beautiful and we had so much fun!

We got our family from all over the country to come celebrate my father's 80th birthday at the beach. We had 21 people and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house is beautiful (the pictures are very accurate) and the location is great.

This beautiful beach house is perfect for our annual family get together- space for everyone and large common living area/kitchen to be together! This was our third year and we have rebooked for next year already. We had 23 people this year and everyone had sufficient space. Every bedroom has its one bathroom which is awesome! The home is well equipped and was immaculate. Highly recommend!!

The house was amazing with access to the beach within steps of the front door! All rooms were spacious and very clean.

My family and I had an amazing time. There were 19 of us and plenty of space and room for everybody! The beach is literally steps away from the front door. We will definitely be back. We give it 5 stars!

Manager's Response

Six families that have been tied together through our sons baseball. We had a fantastic time in this house. It was everything we hoped and much more. So spacious, plenty of room for 6 families to gather. There is a sand lot across the street that the boys enjoyed playing frisbee and light up football. The pool was great when the kids weren't feeling the beach. We cooked, laughed, played and enjoyed each others company in this amazing Pensacola Beach home. Thank you!!

Manager's Response

The house was beautiful and view was amazing. The living space was so open and spacious. All furniture and amenities were high quality. Location had ocean views and only steps from the beach.

Manager's Response

This house is perfect for large groups- plenty of space for everyone to sleep, eat, cook and enjoy each other but with your own private space if you prefer. We had 23 family members; this is our second year in this beautiful, well- equipped home and we have it booked again next summer. The double decks look out at the gorgeous beach and ocean is a short walk across the street. Nice pool also if you prefer. Love it!

We bring 28 women in from around the country to participate in Pensacola Dragon Boat Festival. This house allows for plenty of sitting, talking, laughter, and bonding like no other.

Everything was so awesome. The house was so beautiful. The beach is foot steps away. The pool was AMAZING. Literally I couldn’t have asked for a better house.

Manager's Response

We already had high expectations upon arrival and this house exceeded them. It was more amazing than the pictures actually made it look. The lower level is much bigger than it looks on the pictures and i love the wide open space. The Kitchen for starters is huge with an enormous island, tons of dishes and utensils, and tons of amenities. The living room has a huge TV and lots of seating. the dining room has a huge table with tons of seating along with the nine bar stools in kitchen. The upstairs has a family area with big tv, two couches, and a small kitchenette. The rooms were beautifully decorated with plenty of space. The two bunk rooms were a big hit with the kiddos. The views of the Gulf were amazing, and only a short walk to the beautiful white sandy beach. We did have one minor issue but called the reps and they sent a worker out right away and fixed it within 30 minutes of calling them. The house was very clean and very beautiful decor. I would highly recommend it to anyone and go back in a heart beat!

The property was the perfect fit for our crew of 12 adults and 14 children ages ranging from 3-18! We enjoyed this property from top to bottom, and the pool after a long hot day at the beach was the icing on the cake :) thank you following Seas for a wonderful week of memories that our family will cherish forever ❤️

Manager's Response

The house is gorgeous and perfect for our huge family! Everything was clean and in great shape. The proximity to the beach was great because we simply had to walk across the street and we were on beach sand! The pool is even better than it looks in the pictures! We did not love a 5pm check in time and we would have loved to use the little room space by the pool, but in 7 days every other bit of our stay was perfect!! The management company even came and set our trash out for pickup for us:). Our large family has done many beach vacations together and this is definitely our favorite house!!

We have been coming to the FL panhandle for several years and have finally found “the one” for us. This house is everything our family of 20 needed plus more the location was great, the house superb with so many amentities. This is the first time that upon leaving we were booking for the following year!

We did a beach wedding across the street on the beach and had a reception of 50 people under the house. It was absolutely amazing and dreamy!!!!! The house was super clean and we didn’t have any maintenance issues. Decorated very cutely and beachy. Would stay again without hesitation! Beds were comfortable.

Manager's Response

The house was more than expected! Enough to house 6 families with lots of children. Everything was there for us. Utensils, grill, pool and beach! We will look to book this again in the future. You won’t be disappointed as the views are spectacular. Highly recommended!

Manager's Response

We rented this home for our son's wedding in Pensacola! It was fabulous! There is so much space we never felt crowded at all!! I would recommend this home to anyone doing a wedding or a family reunion!!

Manager's Response

What a fabulous house, lovely details in the workmanship with high ceilings, beach cool colors, crown molding, plenty of space to sit, visit, mingle and spotlessly clean. Our group of "ladies of a certain age" were so tickled with comfortable beds, private spacious bathrooms for each bedroom and a kitchen island that went on forever that we did not want to leave. Beautiful ocean views from the expansive decks and more than enough wide parking spaces underneath. Thank you, Following Seas, for allowing us to enjoy your extraordinary house!

Had a chance to get my family, from all corners of the country, in the same place at the same time. The home was very nice and well furnished. Just about everything you would need is there. Very spacious and comfortable. Even though the sun hid from us the entire time we had a great time and a great visit. I would recommend this home to any large family.

Manager's Response

This was the very first time that the pictures displayed did not do the property justice. Very clean and very well maintained, rental staff very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend and available for verbal confirmation.

Manager's Response

Have stayed at both houses (Twin Sister) on several occasions, so I selected 'arrival date' kind of in the middle. Houses are large, modern, clean and convenient. Comfortable beds, roomy bedrooms (and bathrooms), with a spacious and modern kitchen. There's also a downstairs Tiki bar, large pool deck as well as 2nd story deck looking out over the ocean. We have stayed with a group and just the 2 of us and for value and comfort I think it's the best valued on the beach. My favorite part? It's quiet - whether we're having a glass of wine on the deck looking out over the ocean or sleeping in, the area (and house) is wonderfully quiet - yet we are minutes from restaurants, shops, Fort Pickens ( we ride our bikes through the park) and even downtown Pensacola.

This was a great Place for my entire. Work recommend to anybody to stay here!
