Ariola 107 - The Treehouse

This is the 2nd time staying in the Treehouse with my husband, and I left a previous review from that stay in 2024. We are an older couple (mid-50’s and late 60’s), so our needs are different than younger couples/families. There are lots of stairs to navigate at this house, 22 steps from ground level to the main 1st level of the house. There is no carpeting, which is good for allergy sufferers, and easier to keep clean. The bed in the master bedroom has a hard mattress, but I used a mattress pad to remedy that. We did not encounter the blaring security light coming in through the windows this time. For just 2 of us, this house offers plenty of privacy, space, peace, and quiet - which is what I seek when I vacation. This would be comprised by sharing the house with another couple, so consider your needs. There is one shower with amazing water pressure. The 2nd bedroom is up another flight of stairs (we don’t use it), is an open concept, and offers a beautiful view of the gulf. This location gives easy access to the beach, shops, restaurants, and boardwalk without having to drive. The accommodations are very comfortable, and amenities are practical and easy to use. The neighborhood is very quiet and private. The booking process, check-in, and check-out was simple and seamless. I do think it would be perfect for a family of 3 or 4 who are accustomed to living together and sharing space. You would need to baby gate the stairs (2 staircases) for littles or pets, and I believe there is one baby gate provided. We don’t use the side yard, but it is fenced but not shaded. We also don’t use the upper decks coming off the kitchen and bedrooms as they’re not shaded, but the one off the kitchen is a nice lounging area for sunrise and sunset. The screened sun porch is perfect for being outside but out of the sun, and there’s a ceiling fan, grill, table, and chairs for 4. A water spicket for sandy feet is located on the right side o

Easy check-in/out. 1 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute walk to restaurants, stores. Close to everything yet so quiet, peaceful. House is clean, well equipped. The personnel at Paridise were awesome...

We have rented The Treehouse 3 times and have enjoyed staying there. We are a family of 3, so this smaller house is perfect for us. The beach is steps away which is a HUGE plus. The house is fully equiped for cooking and we didn't find there was anything we needed. It's a very eclectic home which we love, very quiet and cozy. Highly recommended.

This home is magical to me! Beautiful artwork that I really appreciated, the color scheme was beautiful, so much literature (and poetry!) to read, just steps from the beach, and everything within walking distance. The screened-in sun room was perfect for relaxing, there are 2 water spickets to rinse sandy feet, amenities were top notch and easy to use, and the bidet a very special treat! The plumbing and water pressure were out of this world! The home was very clean, and we had everything we needed for our stay. There was plenty of space for just my husband and I to enjoy this beautiful home. We even had the pleasure of meeting the owner. There are stairs to navigate which is a little hard on my husband and I, however, we decided it would not be a deterrent for a future stay. The bed was a little hard for me, but can easily be remedied with a mattress pad the next time I visit. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and I also appreciated that. Paradise Beach Homes has definitely earned a customer, they were professional and helpful with the reservation process and check-in, and then when we decided to extend our stay (because I didn’t want to leave!). Everything went so smoothly, and I am just so impressed by this whole experience. I found this home to be a healing environment, and felt very safe in the home and the neighborhood. It was exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be returning to this home.

Cute little place close to the ocean, places to eat and the only convenient store all with in two or three blocks walk. All amenities were there. The West balcony is great to set out on for morning coffee because the house blocks the morning sun and provides a great shaded area in the AM.
Down side, the yard pics need updated because crows nest shown in pictures has been torn down. The yard is not that dog friendly because of thorny vines that have taken over the yard and needs to be removed for dog mobility and safety. The main bedroom needs blinds about the bedroom windows because the next door property yard lights shine in on the ceiling making the room very bright at night. The screened in patio is nice, but the screens were coming off both doors. All simple fixes that should be completed to have the property up to standard for the price point.

This was our second year staying at the Treehouse and it's a perfect place for my girls and I. We love the proximity to the beach and all of the fun things at the Boardwalk.

Manager's Response

The house was great for our two dogs. The yard is a little rough but good for them to play. Beach access is awesome and is within walking to the restaurants!

Manager's Response

My daughter's and I stayed at the Treehouse this past week and we absolutely loved it. It is perfect walking distance to the beach and to the restaurants/shops. The home is much bigger than it looks and we enjoyed the outside decks quite often. I will DEFINITELY stay here again. Perfect place!

Manager's Response

We stayed for Mardi Gras week. It was an excellent location. The property is small, but a comfortable home that is well maintained.

Manager's Response

Funky and eclectic for us, comfortable for our furry friend. Only flaw was that the inside stairs were slippery for paws and claws, had to use the outside stairs for our pet. Some carpeting on the inside stairs would solve that problem.

This was the second year we stayed at “the treehouse“ at 107 Ariola Dr. We enjoyed it just as much as the first time and noticed there had been some renovations done to improve the upstairs loft and the exterior. They have a full-size kitchen with everything you need and the beds are comfortable and the unique architecture makes it a really fun place to stay. There are a lot of decks to enjoy outdoors and it’s a super easy walk to the beach across a residential road straight to the path. We highly recommend “the treehouse”.

Stayed here before. Good location. Last time paradise made you feel welcome. On this trip, we arrived later and we felt we were just a number. We picked up the envelope at the Inn. The last time we received a basket of nice beach items, this trip an envelope with keys and check-out instructions, and that's it. Trips like these are getting more expensive. Some little extra goes a long way to make you feel better about doing business with a company. I know its a small gesture, but does go a long way since you are spending hard earned money.

Great location, beach is steps away and the sound is just a few blocks away. This house is near the Pier, about 10 min walk by beach to the Pier. Very quiet location, good amenities & we already booked our vacation at the Treehouse for 2022. Highly recommend for a small group.

We loved “The Treehouse.” The house was awesome and the location was perfect. Paradise Beach Homes made check in and out quick and easy. We are already wanting to come back this summer.

Manager's Response

We loved the Treehouse property. It has a great location. So close to the beach. The restaurants and bars are nearby, as well. The property management was fantastic to work with. Always keeping me in the loop, and ready to respond to any of my needs. We look forward to returning again!

Tree House was the perfect house for us and our dog. Location is great for walking to lunch or happy hour and it’s right across the street from the beach. There are a lot of stairs which reminded us we’re not in good shape. We read previous reviews and bought a set of stair treads for $30 so our dog could handle the hardwood without slipping (next year we’ll bring 2 sets). Also did a little fence repair so dog couldn’t get out. It’s a little dated but we like that and it’s fun to look at the gigantic houses across the street while drinking margaritas on the deck and wondering how anyone can afford them. Maybe not the perfect house for everyone but it was for us and we already booked again for next year.

This house is in the perfect location. Very quiet area, and a very short walk across the street to the beach. Our two young children really enjoyed exploring the unique house. Fully furnished,even with cooking utensils. Rental company was very pleasant to work with and did not interrupt our vacation once.Directions for checking out are printed out for you and are very clear. The only thing that I can see that needs attention is the privacy fence. Would definitely stay here again.

I loved the house. It was clean and super easy to keep clean during our stay. You could hear the ocean from the house and you could see it out of almost every window.Just a hop skip and jump and you were on the beach.

Manager's Response

The property managers were very friendly and professional. I was pleasantly surprised when they presented a welcome beach bag filled with snacks and information of things to do around the area. The rental home was clean, comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood, and right across from beach access. The convenience of having a fenced in yard and screen porch was great for my dog. The kitchen had everything I needed during my stay.

The location of the house was perfect. You have big homes in front of the house blocking the full ocean view but from the living room and upstairs bedroom the ocean views between those houses are amazing. The yard was a bit grown up and the fence was unsafe in spots so I had to keep an eye on my dog alot. There are 3 full sets of stairs in the house, 2 to get to the main floor and another to get to the upstairs bedroom. By the end of the stay my dog was worn out from going up and down them, he is 4 yrs. Old and everything revolves around him so it matters most how he feels, lol. Other than that just being able to walk outside and onto the beach right in front of the house was the best thing. The house has 2 balconies and a big deck off the living room/kitchen so those were our favorite spots to hang out. Pensacola Beach alone feels like Paradise so there's not much you can do to have an un-enjoyable time.

I don't think the location of the "treehouse" could be any better. It is a very short walk to the bulk of the restaurants and businesses but tucked in a residential neighborhood giving it a quieter, more secluded feel. There is a row of houses between this house and the Gulf but you can still see it and it is a very short walk from the front door to the beach, 60-90 seconds, maybe?
As far as the house goes, it is very unique and has a cool feel to it. The top floor bedroom has the best view and even a tiny deck to look out from. We spent most of our time on the middle floor where the living room, kitchen, main bedroom, and full bath are located. Not elegant but very homey which was perfect for us.
The house has a generously sized private, fenced in yard with patio area. Previous tenants have strewn a little bit of trash about (why can't we pick up after ourselves, people?) which detracted a little from the experience.
Overall, we loved "the treehouse" and would recommend it!

The rental was clean, the location and description were accurate. Everything we needed was provided ie towels, linens, dishes, cooking utensils. Check in and out was easy. Ideally the yard could have been maintained better, but understandable. The best part was our dog was allowed :)

Great house and location, only thing missing was a dishwasher - though caretakers left detergent tablets. One thing, the main floor bedroom ceiling fan is wired into the light so both are either on or off together, and can't be activated separately like the one in the living area. It would have been nice to be able to run the fan by itself. I was told this is being addressed now.

Overall, this rental was phenomenal. Initially, I was really disappointed to find there was construction happening on the lot directly in front of this home that we were not informed of. I reserved this home specifically for the unobstructed view of the Gulf. However, if you take that part out of the equation, this home was amazing. It was clean, well-maintained and in a great location.

This property was perfect for what we needed. We took 4 boys on spring break. The master bedroom was fine and the other perfect for boys with extra air mattresses. It was right across from the beautiful beach which we could see from the patio.

The house itself was so charming (unusual home decorations/art). We chose to have a good time, but there were things that made us think twice about booking again! The enclosed yard was great for my two dogs, but I was constantly picking sand spurs out of their feet and/or yard. It was a stone's throw to the gulf, which made it very convenient to walk over and enjoy the beach. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. However, there were a few things that marred our stay. The house could have been cleaner and better maintained. The wifi didn't work and still didn't work after technicians came out three separate times. The photos on the website are outdated. There is a house being built across the street (between the rental house and the gulf view). Construction noise was loud and constant =(. We weren't too happy about the presence of a construction crew. Also, no dishwasher and renters are required to wash the dishes before they leave. Made me wonder about the cleanliness of the dishes when we arrived.

We only had one hiccup before coming to Florida and it was just a miscommunication. But Paradise went above expectations to resolve it. The house was in a great location, well suited for our needs. Loved that it was dog friendly and had a nice fenced in area for them. Everything was in good working order, stove, frig, shower, washer/dryer. My only concern was mold that was found in the lower bedroom. There was considerable mold in the door tracks on the sliding glass doors and on the window tracks and ledges. I am asthmatic and mold is a problem. We cleaned the window sills as best we could but the door tracks was more than we could clean. My suggestion, because the house is located so closely to the water mold treatment should be a constant application.

Just big enough for our family of 6, including two small children. Perfect location for beach and close enough for boardwalk activities.

We rent this beach house every year. It is a great location with great views. Only minor issue this time was that it was not cleaned thoroughly this visit. There was dust balls and dirt around the house. Nothing terrible, but could have been more clean upon arrival.

Good. Loved the house, there were a lot of stairs, but overall a very nice beach house with a great location.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Would definitely stay again. It was perfect! Loved that it was so close to the beach. The house was perfect for us and very comfortable.

Location was great. Didn't know house didn't have dishwasher so that would have been nice to know but otherwise house fit all our needs

The weather was great and the fireworks were unbelievable ! The house is very nice. My 4-legged companion really enjoyed the yard and doggie door. Looking forward for another visit to P'cola soon.

a perfectly charming little house, with touchs of eastern spirituality, right near the heart of it all. LOVED it!

We had a wonderful stay here. The house was as we thought it would, right at the beach. It was comfortable and clean. Only problem was downstairs door to the deck was jammed and hard to open and close. Also living room sleeper couch cover was a little dirty and mattress not comfortable to sleep on. But we would like to come back again!

We enjoyed our stay in the "tree house". It had a little something for everyone, space for my kiddos and pup, decks for us to lounge on and great views of the gulf. We even got to see dolphins from the window in the main living area. So cool. Walking distance to the beach was a plus. There were lots of beautiful sea shells to collect and if you paddle board out a bit, you'll get to witness some cow nose sting rays and beautiful jellyfish, dolphins too. The eclectic decor and the location of this place will keep us coming back.

The house was everything described and more. There is a fantastic view of the ocean thru the living room, top bedroom and the Balconies. My pups loved the fenced in yard. The furnishings were very comfortable. It is in walking distance to some of the best seafood eateries. Breakfast at Native is a must. Great house and location.

Had a wonderful vacation on Pensacola beach. This house is very cozy with all the needed amenities. Views were hard to beach and you are literally right across from the ocean! Had our bikes with us and biked to local shops, restaurants and bars. Will definately reserve again!

this home is so cozy and just feels like home. was very clean and only a few feet from the beach!

We had a great time. The Rental was just the right size for four of us and our dog. Easy to get to the beach and all things in the area.
Good Weather, white beaches, clear water, and exciting time.

I've stayed at the Tree House several times and this July 4th was the best ever ! Everything about this property is perfect.
Oh - and the beaches and water were flawless.
I'm looking forward to staying here again.

The Tree House was in a great location. The view from the deck was amazing. It was a short walk to the beach and to shopping areas! The only suggestion I have is that the shower curtain was moldy and needed cleaning and the oven would not come on. Overall it was a very positive experience. I would recommend the "tree house".

We had a wonderful time. The house and location was perfect.

This home suited our needs and its location was perfect. However, the negatives are that the elevated deck in the yard was blocked off/unusable and the yard couldve been better kept- (xeriscaping meant zero-scaping and maintenance in this case). The screened in porch and furniture had tons of sand that we had to sweep and clean up. Cleanliness of the house was okay, but there was a leftover facial scrub in the shower and the upstairs loft smelled, requiring windows open to air out. Not a high quality rental. The staff at Paradise Beach Homes were all extremely friendly and professional. The welcome bag was also appreciated. This was a good rental for those not expecting luxury, but just a laid back beach home. We traveled with dogs and they loved it. The Fisher & Paykel washer and dryer and the great shower water pressure were a plus. A dishwasher wouldve been nice.

Awesome location and home. Feels like a friend's home - comfortable, not fussy. Great art collection and a fantastic property to have the dogs along with its doggy door and fenced yard. Absolutely loved it. Thanks!

The property management company is very friendly and helpful. The location is fabulous! The house is directly across the street from the beach, with unobstructed views. The views from the bedroom and living room are breathtaking. We were very pleased with the balconies and deck areas. The house is very convenient to restaurants and bars. We have two small complaints though. The shower was a little moldy and the fenced yard was not usable for our dog. We booked this house partly for the convenience of a fenced in yard, but the area was full of thorny cuckle burrs! Not only did we spend hours digging painful burrs out of my dog's fur but we had to take her to the vet after a particularly thorny burr ended up in the pad of her paw. Also, cuckle burrs are toxic to dogs if anyone is thinking of bringing their pet. Overall, we are very happy with the rental and would definitely return...just without our dog.

Loved the location to beach, shops and restaurants. We walked every day. Checked out neighborhood and enjoyed walking w/dog. Could have used another tv with kids. Beach was wonderful also. Would love to go back. Linda
