Maldonado 1208 - My Beach Getaway

We had a great family beach vacation. The house was clean and we enjoyed the welcome gift! The house is a short walk to the beach! Happy that we could bring our dog with us as well. Everyone had a great time! Would rent again!

We had a great experience at this vacation house! It was very clean and comfortable! It was a super quick walk to the beach and had a great lower deck area to keep all the sandy toys, towels, etc... I highly recommend this home!

We stayed here May 13th- 18th 2019 and was very very happy with our choice! SUPER comfy beds, huge kitchen, amazing wrap around deck, large sinks in the was perfect! The deck was absolute bliss in the evenings as you are close enough to hear the waves and feel the ocean breeze!There are also very nice large TV's throughout the property which was a bonus. We had our dogs with us and they loved long walks around the neighborhood and just sitting with us on the deck at night. I will also add that most of the bottom floor is nicely done in a wood plank which is great if you have pets with you as it was very easy to sweep up any sand that gets carried in.
This was one of the most wonderful vacations my husband and I (along with our 2 dogs) have ever been on. The owners have thought of just about everything to make your stay as comfy and amazing as possible and the staff at Paradise Homes are truly amazing! So helpful and kind on the phone at all times! The only downside for us was having to leave. We would have stayed another week if we could! Would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Property management team was great. Check in was very convenient. Office was only a couple of miles from the property itself. Receiving a beach bag with chips/salsa, coffee, popcorn, etc. upon arrival was a nice touch!

As for the property:
1. Nice view of the ocean even though it is behind a couple of houses. They did a great job of angling the house on the lot to maximize the views. Very short walk to the beach with a walkway that runs directly beside the house. I've had longer walks to the beach from a condo sitting directly on the beach. Close enough to hear the waves at night.
2. Property was very clean.
3. Lots of extra items inside the property; board games, beach games, flip flops, beach chairs, etc.
4. Plenty of parking.
5. The only "issue" we had was not getting the dishwasher to work. But our stay wasn't really long enough to need it so we didn't report it to the management team until check out.

We will definitely look to book this property again whenever back in Pensacola Beach!

Had a wonderful family getaway in Pensacola. House was perfect. The beds were not very comfortable but all in all had a great time.

Manager's Response

This home is spacious and accommodating, and provided all the basics we needed for our stay. The location is amazing, just steps from the most beautiful beaches in America. There is a nice big deck that wraps around the main level, and we really enjoyed the beach views from the private deck off the master suite upstairs. Another plus is the master suite and bath being separate from the rest of the house, upstairs. Of course, we greatly appreciate the property being dog-friendly. CONS: While the house was very clean and well-maintained, the carpet needs to be replaced or removed entirely. It made our allergies flare up. We also had an uncomfortable night's rest on the beds. The big master bedroom only came equipped with a Queen--not a King--sized bed, and it was so squishy that it aggravated our back and neck problems. We'd love to stay there again, but the carpet and beds situation would have to be changed.

Great Experience

Fabulous location on the quiet side of the beach yet very convenient to attractions, restaurants. Lots of space. Great deck and patio area. Quick walk to the beach. Master bedroom is a bit warm, but very private and inviting. Stairs into the property and to the master

This house was in a great location! There is a trail right next to the house thats maybe a 2-3 minute walk to the beach. You can hear the wave crashing from the bedrooms with the windows open. Loved the outdoor lounge chairs.

The property manager was extremely easy to work with and the people we interacted with upon arrival were very nice. The welcome bag was also a very nice touch and it was great to start off the trip with a couple snacks.

There were a few cons about the house.
Two out of the 3 larger beds were extremely uncomfortable. So were the pillows. A couple of us had a few restless nights because of it.
They do not provide beach towels, beach chairs, or bikes. This was a bit inconvenient to have to purchase since we flew in.
It would also be a nice touch to have some salt and pepper in the kitchen.
Lastly, the wood deck is a bit rough. If you walk barefoot on the deck, you will likely get a few splinters.

Overall we were satisfied with the house, mostly for the location and the space it had. I would rent it again, just knowing we need to come prepared with a few extra beach items.

This was in perfect distance to a walking path to the beach. The neighborhood was safe and clean, as well. It serves as a perfect, temporary home. Although it is not "up to date" in style or appliances, it does the job. It was also nice to have a shower on the lower patio to wash up in before going inside the house. I would recommend this home to those who need a getaway weekend to the beach. The only complaint I have is that the bikes and the television were not 100% accessible. It would be nice to have those amenities available to guests.

The property was in a great location! The rental agency was great and very helpful. Could use some new paint and rug cleaning. Had more than enough bedding and kitchen was stocked very well. Dishwasher broken, told staff at rental office at the end of our week.

This gave my family a long deserved and remembered vacation. All of the services and support were wonderful. The beaches were very clean. I plan to come back soon.

Renting a house was the best decision. The house on Maldonado was perfect for us. Very close to the beach, and stores but the most important about it was how quiet the neighborhood was. We had such an amazing time. I will deffinetally recommended to any one. Oh I almost forgot about the blue Angel practice. We had a great view to watch it. Very clean house and Nicole was the best from Paradise Beach Homes.

Always an awesome experience

We had a blast plan on attending next year also want to rent the house on 1210 maldonado the one with the pool

Love the location and affordability of the house. It had all our basic necessities. We appreciated the gas grill being available. The management was very low key. The room sizes and space was perfect for 6 adults and two older kids. I would stay again.

We have stayed in Pensacola Beach several times but this one by far was the most memorable. My wife and I got married on the beach this trip and staying at this house was the perfect way to celebrate!

We had a pleasant time although it would be nice if the blinds were replaced as well as a few other upgrades that are needed due to wear and tear. (Kitchen stove/oven, need more bowls and pyrex dishes etc....) Knobs on cabinets come off. All in all it was a good stay and we will come back however it would be nice if the place was a little more cared for.

This is our second family vacation to utilize the wonderful properties of PBH. This property was so close to the beach we had no trouble walking back for a chair or umbrella. The crow's nest master suite was an ideal get away even with the rest of the family joining my husband and me on this vacation. The garage allowed us to store our 3 bicycles below. The management understood when we were unable to get into town to buy extra trash can liners or dishwasher tablets. Three car accidents on the bridge effectively shut down our evening plans on Mother's Day evening and we couldn't even make it into Pensacola Beach restaurants. Luckily we had leftovers in the fridge. Thanks for making this the ideal spot to sun, watch the Blue Angels, visit Ft. Pickens, and bike the town.

Love this house. There had been some improvements that really looked nice. We had a lot of rain, which caused a bit of a leak on the left side of the fire place vent. Other than that, all was good.

Our experience was wonderful and very exciting the shape of the rental was great the beach was only a short walk and we could see it from our balcony. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels. All in all I would give the stay 5stars

My family of 6 rented this house for a weeklong summer vacation. The photos of the property are accurate. There are no photos of the bathrooms - there is 1 full bath with tub/shower downstairs and 1 full bath (jacuzzi tub and separate large walk in shower) upstairs with the master bedroom. I did not personally use the jacuzzi tub. The large walk around patio is very nice. We used the gas grill provided one night and it worked great - the only problem was it was not cleaned from the previous tenant. The location is in a quite neighborhood just 1 block from the beach. There is an outside shower downstairs which was very nice to rinse after after spending time on the beach. I would recommend this location.

Great decks and close to beach

Garbage cans were 3/4 full when we got there

We rented the house for a week with family and were a little disappointed that the house wasn't better maintained. The blinds didn't work in most of the rooms, a window was broken, a closet door was missing, and so on. The location of the house is good and the covered porches are nice for sitting outside.

I and some friends were visiting Pensacola for a mutual friends wedding. We decided to stay together to decrease the costs of paying for separate hotel rooms and a beach house sounded like the perfect option. 1208 Maldonado was a terrific location and a very nice beachouse. We enjoyed the comforts of the home. The furniture was a bit old and outdated, and of course we would have enjoyed nicer (flat screen) TVs, and more modern furniture. But we had no complaints, bathrooms were cleaned thoroughly, bedding was sufficient and we were 100 yards from the beach! Awesome trip and the wedding events turned out great as well.

Cross over Bob Sikes toll bridge and don't look back. Put on the flip flops, and turn off the cell phones and listen to the Gulf Breeze.

Soak in the sun rays, while your automatic bill pays and two bits are covered in oil.

The home is spacious, clean and had incredible views with lots of Windows. Look forward to staying at the same place again and again.

Many Thanks.

the property was perfectly located. You could walk to the beach from the patio. It also out outside dining in a covered area, which was wonderful when it rained. The property was very clean and it felt like a home. There were some minor maintenance things that needed repairing but not enough to stop the family from having a wonderful vacation in a quiet neighborhood.

The rental was very nice and in a great location. The house needed some repair such as window blinds either missing or broken and overhead lights that would not turn on. One window had a crack in it. Overall very clean, however the last night we found a large cockroach in the kitchen. Could have used more towels and garbage bags. Pots in the kitchen did not have lids that fit. Great beach 1 street over.

This was our third trip to Pensacola and rented one of the Paradise Beach Homes each stay. Absolutely recommend. This trip was for my daughter's beach wedding & vacation. Had to be the most beautiful wedding ever! Well definitely be planning another trip very soon. Thank you!

Very relaxing and accomodating.

We had a great time. The only draw back was the sofa bed. But management said they would tell the owners. The beds were very comfortable , for us "old " people. I would stay again.

I rented this house to stay in for my daughter's wedding in May 2014. The house is spacious and airy. Loved that. And the master bedroom with deck is very nice. It was perfect for our stay. Although not directly on the beach, you can see the water from the decks.
Positives: Location, location!
Spacious and airy
Has most of what you need for the week.
Mgmt company very nice, responded quickly to issues.
Negatives: Stove not particularly clean.
MANY light bulbs out.
Had to kill 4-5 large ugly roach looking bugs, but I think you get that in FL.
Where were the beach towels?
Where was the gas grill?
If you are used to satellite TV, bring your laptop. I know you don't go to the beach for TV, but we were there for the torrential rains and storms. The TV was poor.

That said, it was fine for us. A relaxing short walk to the beach. The master bedroom very spacious with lots of windows. I enjoyed it and would recommend it if you don't mind not being directly on the water.

had a great time with family & friends
