Ariola 706 - Salt and Light Beach House

Relaxing

The house was lovely and well-appointed. Everything was very clean. The gift basket was unexpected but very, very nice. The only issue we had were the stairs inside. We are older and it was inconvenient. The downstairs access to the beach is great.

Salt and Light is a beautiful home - and the views of the Gulf are breathtaking! This house worked great for our 3 families - plenty of room to hang out together and plenty of smaller nooks for quiet time (if that’s what you wanted). And what’s better than walking out the back door and right out onto a sandy beach?! We also loved that this area of the beach was not crowded. Perfect place for a relaxing vacay!!

This home was perfect for multi-generational guests. The house is divided with the kitchen/living area separating the bedrooms. Because we had families with young children, this separation provided quiet for those without young children and made for a relaxing vacation for all.

This house was recently remodeled and we loved every bit of it! It was perfect for multiple families bc of the bedroom setup and multi level decks and living areas. The master room had it's own mini fridge and coffee bar.

The house was clean, well stocked and just as described

Thank you guys so much! My family enjoyed our stay to the fullest! It’s was clean, decorated beautifully, and we was on the beach with the BEST VIEW! We will be back this summer! Thank y’all team for the best hospitality!

Pensacola Beach has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Perfect location right on the beach close to relatives. Enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning and drinks in the evenings. The rooms and bathrooms were large. Very spacious.

This was the 3rd time renting this beach house. We loved that you walk out the door and your on the beach. The outdoor shower was helpful. We had 2 small children and when they were napping the baby monitor range reached our spot on the beach. The bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen was clean. The mini bars ice maker was a great touch.

The air was cool the whole week. The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures and you can't hear folks on the top floor, which was great. The kitchen is well equipped and spacious and we loved the two pantries and the wet bar space with ice maker. The upstairs was not as clean as the downstairs. Paradise is always responsive to needs, questions. Overall great experience!

Wonderful beach home. Would definitely come back again. Love the open floor plan on the main level.Only suggestions would be to possibly have more containers in the home to put leftovers in with lids, more dish cloth and dish towels in the kitchen and more then one hot pads. Also, a couple of the slats on the top deck are loose and with having young children there, feel they need to be secured.

Best beach access from this house! Wonderful outdoor shower! Ice maker is a must!

We had a very good stay. The location is great. The rental property was very clean and in good shape. There were a couple of very minor problems but they were taken care of immediately. We have been renting thru Paradise Beach Rentals for several years and they have always been very nice and helpful. Look forward to coming back next year!

Feels like we've come home we have stayed in this house with our family for years. It is a wonderful house for a family or two and we love it because we can bring our dogs. it is about as close to the beach as you can get and has everything that you would need.

Lovely, family and pet friendly home directly on the beach.

Great location and the weather gods delivered perfect weather for our January stay. Very nice house great view it was perfect for our needs. Some stair climbing but not a problem for our crew. Every thing was Easy from booking to check in and out. Thanks

Good. We would rent this property again.

Heaven on earth.....love the beaches of Pensacola Beach

The location is great, the beach is wonderful. The home is ok. The layout is good for if you have 2 different groups as the home as the home is split in half at the main entry. Also could use to be aired out, I found out I'm allergic to somthing in the house. Very musty until we ran the AC for a day. Furnishings are hit or miss and really needs an update for what the owner is asking in rent. Stains, water damage and outdated furnishings. Still had a great time but for the cost I don't think I'd rent it again.

Because it rained the entire time we visited the beach, we were more than happy to have such a lovely, spacious place. The great room offered lots of room for everyone to find an activity, and we were able to watch the gorgeous views of the storms on the Gulf.

Loved Cabin and location. Hated trashed garage, trashed bottom balcony and trashed area under and around house. Called and complained upon arrival and asked for someone to clean. 3 days later and 3 more calls ...NO RESPONSE! We cleaned some just to enjoy !!! Beer cans, bottles, trash, broken umbrellas, chairs, toys etc. everywhere. Paid a lot of money to have to clean it myself! Couches need to be cleaned badly. Would recommend caution only due to rental companies response.

It was a great location and nice house. More towels would have been nice. If it sleeps 10, there should be 10 towels at least. Grill burners need replacing. Otherwise everything was great.

The location of this home is amazing! It makes up for the over all appearance of the place. It is very dated and in need of some serious maintenance. I also think the cleaning service needs to be a bit more conscience of detail. i.e. cleaning the fans and vents to improve overall appearance. There also was food left in the freezer.

The house is in the perfect location, especially with small children. The house was the perfect size and layout but it is older and things don't work as well as you would expect. In the loft, the AC does not work at all, even the window unit does not cool down. The AC didn't cool the rest of the house really well either, but in October it wasn't a big deal. The outside doors didn't all close well and there was some sticking. We had everything we needed, the supply of towels was great and unusual for a rental! I would rent again in the fall, but not in the heat of summer.

Perfect house for a family. As close to the beach as you can possibly get. A very quiet strip of beach with very little beach traffic.

We enjoyed staying at 706 Ariola for a week with our two children and their families, which included grandchildren, ages 5, 3, and 18 mo. The house was spacious and perfect for nine people. We loved the short walk out the back door to the beach and it was a well-worn path during our stay! We especially enjoyed the shady back deck with the children. We felt like we had enjoyed a week in paradise!

The house was awesome! Very spacious and has amenities beyond what they tell you on the website. We will definitely be back! The staff took care of us with whatever we needed! Thanks! We had an awesome time!

Beautiful view, convenient walk to the beach, the sound of the surf was amazing, put together two puzzles (500 and 1000 piece), visited with friends and had a terrific time! Highly recommend this location.
