Ariola 312

This beautiful home held our large family, including 6 children aged 7 and under, for Christmas week. The bedrooms, kitchen, dining, and living spaces are larger than they appear in the photos. Everything was immaculate and appeared to be new. Well stocked kitchen for food prep and feeding many guests. The close proximity to shopping, church, and the hospital emergency room were added bonuses.

Manager's Response

We found the property very clean and the layout was great. It was newly renovated. The home that we had originally rented sustained damage from Gordon, but the staff at Paradise Beach Homes bent over backwards to accommodate our needs. 312 Ariola was more expensive that our original rental, but we didn't have to pay the increased price! Thanks!

Manager's Response

The house accommodated us beautifully. We were 2 familes, 16 people total.

Manager's Response

The house is absolutely beautiful and included every comfort we could want. It was better than described. The view of the ocean from the house is a postcard and the beach is literally steps off the back porch. It was quiet and situated at an angle from neighbors so that you dont feel too close. We could see that the beach was crowded down closer to the condos but we felt like we had our own private beach. Would definitely come back.

Manager's Response

It could use some general maintenance. Some boards on the deck were not secure and easily tripped on. Railing on deck is loose. Bathroom pocket door is broke, many outlets did not work. Very dirty under sink and it smelled. Dishwasher leaked, had to have towels under when running it. faucet on deck leaked. Ice makers in fridge did not work. Would have been nice to have drop down wind breaks on bottom of house and or some type of heaters.
This was a nice house and roomy for everyone, kitchen was good size. Location on the beach was great, quick drive to many stores, shops and restaurants.

We rented this beach house for my wedding and wedding reception and it was an amazing experience. It easily slept me, my husband, and all our friends and wedding party. The house is beautiful, even more beautiful than the pictures show. I was so happy with how clean and well maintained everything was. We had the wedding on the beach in front of the house and it was perfect! And then had the reception right in front of the house and it could not have been any better! The wedding was a dream come true and it would not have been possible without this beach house. We will definitely be renting this house again. Thank you so much Paradise Beach Homes!!!

Great location! The house is perfect for families with younger children. We had a few older kids ( high school seniors) and the sleeping arrangemts while adequate, become a little strained this way. Not a deal breaker as were there for he beach not to sleep. The wifi was sketchy all week. We called and informed the office of his as soon as we noticed it would not connect when we checked in. They had a tech call us and we figured it out. The kitchen is more than stocked for your cooking needs. I would recommend this house to other vacationing families.

We always live the beach.

Overall, I would give the rental a 7 out of 10. Great location on a beautiful beach. The decor is a little dated and the house is showing its age, but still a good choice for 14 of us. Had some problems but property managers handled quickly. Hot water heater didn't seem to accommodate all of us, tho. I'd come again!

Amazing house with an amazing view.

We all had a wonderful time. Very peaceful place to stay. We would love to rent this home again as soon as we have another awesome reason to do so.??????

Pros..close to beach, plenty of room, beach not crowded, plenty parking for 6 car
Cons..they are rebuilding beach and pumping sand nearby, you cannot leave belongings on beach overnight anymore

We had a great time. Location of home was fantastic

Love the house especially the 3 refrigerators! Roomy and ideally set up for a large group.

Our stay was great and full of fun. The place was just perfect for our family affair to remember.
The layout of the house very convenient for the rest of my family and the view of the gulf was extremely wonderful.
On the second note, with a number of people occupied the house toiletries should be enough for a number of days like toilet papers. 2 per washroom is not enough for 20 so people for a Humber of days.
Other than than, everything was just perfect. I will definitely recommend this house to my friends. ????

We had a great stay at our home at 312 Ariola. Besides our nuclear family, we had cousins, my niece, in-laws, and 2 old friends who used to vacation with us on Ariola when they and my children were young.(All at different times.) The house was very comfortable and the beach lovely.The few problems we had were attended to in a timely manner.

We held our wedding here on Memorial Day weekend, and it was perfect. Lots of space, and the beach behind the house was beautiful. We were definitely happy with our decision to stay here.

We were a group of 20 people with kids and everyone single Edson had a blast. We would go back to this house in a heartbeat. 10 Steps away from the beach with awesome views of the sunrise and sunset. We had a group with a age differential of 2.5yrs to 44 yrs and everyone had a ball.

Every thing was fine, the site, the rooms, etc.
The only problem we had was with the stove. Either the front or back burners did not heat well. And the oven the same.

Great family gathering. House is nice, but needs refurbishment,good cleaning.
Mold on AC registers, kitchen hot water faucet should be replaced. Stools in kitchen area areshot. Dangerous!

Beautiful view and easy access to beach, back of house was pleasant to sit in and view the ocean protected from breeze. House was well kept and clean, not junked up by previous guests. We had everything we needed to start and shopping wasn't too far away for more supplies. Wonderful spot for a wedding on the beach, my step daughter and son in law will remember it for a long time plus enough privacy for their honeymoon. When you compare the price we paid for a week as verses hotel costs for that many folks (8 and 2 children) plus the convenience and privacy, you can't go wrong.

Everything was nice. We enjoyed our stay, and the house was perfect for what we needed.

Overall great location! Several issues with damaged furniture (not overly concerned)Outside water faucet broken. Cleaning prior to arrival was shoddy, sand and dirt on floors( I know it is a beach house), garbage and old underwear under the beds, wet towels left in dryer.

vacation with my brothers sister mother cousin's family is so so sweet

Had great time! Home was clean and large enough for visiting family members. Only negative was on last day when a toilet plugged up and took 2 hours for Property Manager to get plumber on site.

Nice roomy house. We had plenty of space for 13 of our family. The beach is beautiful and pretty private. Reataurants and attractions were close and easy to access.

We were very happy getting into the house at 1, since it was July 4th and traffic got bad. We were also going to be allowed to put some refrigerated items in the lower level fridge if the house wasn't available. Very nice to work with. The property needs a lot of work the furniture is in tatters, there are extra lamps and items in every closet. The kitchen has a terrible scramble of mixed pots and pans and miscellaneous lids. The dishes and silverware are mis-matched, knives dull. The dishwasher only got the dishes mostly clean and the extra refrigerator, while appreciated has no door storage and broken shelves and drawers. The air-conditioner still can't keep the front east master bedroom cool. We asked for more glasses and cups last year, and they had dwindled to barely enough this year. Some one needs to go thru that kitchen and get it organized. I know as the year goes on, each group leaves it a little less picked up, but it was still a mess from last year. Maybe in the off season the owners can clean the place up. 2 of the nasty vents in the living area were painted over, but the one over the table was still nasty, and we ate right under it everyday.

My family loved this house! This was the second time we rented this home. The beachfront location is ideal!

The location was perfect! The house had plenty of space for our guests. There were a few problems with the property. There were roach droppings under every sink - lots of them. They were even on our bath towels. The shower curtains had mold on them. There were several vents that had black mold surrounding them. And we discovered the grill was broken, nasty and the gas tank was empty which delayed our meal by several hours. For $1000 per night, I expected more.

It was great. Nice house. Good beach.

we had 10 women for my sister-in-law's bachelorette party. we had plenty of space. the house is DIRECTLY on the beach and had beautiful views. furniture is slightly outdated. Would definitely rent again!

We had a full house of family and friends to join us for our daughters wedding & reception. We held all the activities right there on the beach and under the house. The photos are beautiful!! The Paradise staff was very accommodating & prompt to address some areas that needed special attention and upon our arrival, everything was just in place. The house accommodations were adequate, it is a beach house. The sands & the beach are beautiful and very clean. It was very nice having the bigger beds, extra refrigerators (3), and the 5 bathrooms. We look forward to our next stay in Pensacola and will utilize Paradise again!!

a great house in a great location can't wait to come back next year everything was awesomeonly had one complaint with the air conditioner but everything else was awesome family had an awesome time and I would recommend this house to anyone

We had a wonderful week on the beach. The location was great and the management to very helpful. The house however was not very clean or maintained. The vents are moldy, the filters were filthy, the AC wasn't getting to the front bedroom, we didn't have enough glasses or mugs for 20 people.There were no safety mats or stickers in tubs and our little ones slipped. The wireless signal was so weak, that our devices wouldn't stay connected.The furniture was tattered and tired. There was too many "decorative" plants and items on shelves to have room to put our things for the week.I would only recommend this property if a lot of cleaning and maintaining are done.

Multiple repairs needed on this home, brought to the attention of management and basically ignored. We rented for 7 days, 5 of which we could not use one of the bathrooms due to plumbing issues.

The house was beautiful and clean. It is reflective of how it is advertised.

Very satisfied- only thing to improve on would be more lighting outside beneath home- definitely will recommend to friends and family- we will be a return customer!!! Thank you to the ladies in the office! Very friendly people!

This property was perfect for our small wedding. The property owner and the staff from Paradise Beach Homes were wonderful and helpful. We will be renting from them again.
