Ariola 107 - The Treehouse

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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!

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
