Maldonado 500

Spend Thanksgiving week with the family and had a very enjoyable time. It is in a great location, literally 60 second walk to the beach. There is a big parking area. The layout of the house is a very functional open design with the main living, kitchen, dining and a master bed/bath down, and a second living area upstairs with a master bed/bath (pretty much identical to to the down stairs) and two smaller bedrooms that share a bath. All the beds were comfortable. The other furnishings were "rental quality" but adequate. Check-in and out w/ Paradise was very organized and quick. We would stay here again.

We have been going to this area for years and stayed in multiple different places. This home was beautiful and in a great location. It was clean, spacious enough for everyone, and had a pool. Employees were very friendly and we ended up last minute deciding to stay an extra night. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay. We were upgraded to this unit due to the fact that our original unit needed repairs. We were more than satisfied with this unit and would love to rent it during the Summer Season.

This was our first stay with Paradise Beach Homes, but it will not be our last! The house was very clean and in good condition. My kids particularly enjoyed the pool and the upstairs living area with balcony. I loved the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable king sized bed. We had six people in our party, and everyone had enough space to feel comfortable. The location is perfect, with just a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend.

Really great location and the home/pool is very nice.

We had a great time! House was perfect size for our large group that consisted of 5 thirteen year old boys. They loved the pool and the close beach access. House needs a little touch ups but I understand salt water is tough on a house -and so are renters! There was sand on furniture and floors and a serious layer of dust upstairs on furniture when we got there ...but no big deal to us. Like I said we had 13 year old boys! Overall I would stay here again. Very comfortable and you can’t beat the location and pool!!!!!

We really loved our stay at Maldonado 500. Working with Susan at Paradise was great. We loved the layout of the house with a separate den upstairs for the kids to hang out in while the adults were downstairs. It was great to have 2 masters with their own bathrooms, 1 upstairs 1 downstairs. the 2 queens with the jack & jill bathrooms was great too. It was a short walk to the beautiful beach. We loved having our own pool. I'd love to see a few improvements as well. 1.Bedrooms NEED room darkening curtains, we woke up every day when the sun rose
2. It would be nice if they had some chairs, pool toys,bikes or golf cart to use. 3. The carpet is looking rough, would replace with tile. Overall though, we loved the house it's great for our family of 10.

Overall, we have a good experience during our recent stay. However, the beaches were closed due to the COVID19 crisis our second day limiting our activities. Even though rescheduling the visit was a possibility, we decided to travel due to the in ability to reschedule the visit within the guidelines put forward.

The house was amazing. It was clean and decorated well. We really enjoyed the large private pool. Staff at Paradise were great.

Manager's Response

Me and my family had an amazing time. The home was clean and we had no issues. It's in walking distance from the beach. Me and my family will absolutely be reserving again in the near future.

Group of 8 came in town for a wedding. This house perfectly suited our needs. Plenty of room to spread out or to get together. Pool was perfect for when we needed a break from the beach (which is about a two minute walk away). Price was very reasonable and no complaints at all about the house.

Brought my daughter and a few of her friends for her senior year spring break. Place was nice and very convenient to everything. I will stay there again.

500 Maldonado was just as listed. Nice rooms with decent furnishings, just as pictured. The home has ample space to eat, laugh, and visit with friends. The 3rd floor rooms are nice and tucked away so you dont hear the fun going on in the living/kitchen if you wanted to escape. Added little bonus, lounge room on the 3rd floor was nice too. The pool was a great added feature on days when you want to take a break from the sand. We really had a great stay!

Overall a good experience.

This is our fourth year staying at this property and we couldn’t be happier. The property is well maintained and has a great kitchen and gas grill for cooking! We love this house so much we’ve already rebooked for next year!!

Manager's Response

Stayed with the family in June. The house is well maintained. Pool furniture updated. Just a few steps from the beach. Beautiful views. No issues with anything in the house. No ironing board (weird).

This was a great way to bring my family together for the holidays. I live in Texas and their from Tennessee so it was a great location to meet for a wonderful vacation. We really enjoyed the beauty if the home and the location. We will definitely come back this summer so we can enjoy the beach. We we're able to walk 2-3 minutes to the beach. It was so beautiful. The kids really enjoyed collecting shells. We we're all very impressed with the wholesome details of the home. It has everything you'd need from the can opener to soap and washing powder. You will need more of course depending on your stay. We will definitely, 100% be back this coming up summer.

Perfect location, steps from the beach. Nice pool and plenty of space to accommodate 10 adults.

Very happy w/ our rental this Summer. House was very clean and everything we used worked great. The only minor issue we had were there were lots of broken shelves in the fridge. I assume it was due to normal wear and tear so it was a minor issue.

The house was very nice and we would definitely stay there again. Loved being close to the beach and also having a pool! Great views! Very relaxing and fun vacation! There were a few things that would have made the stay even better! Most of the outdoor furniture was broken and the rest was very uncomfortable. The shelves and drawers in the refrigerator were broken or cracked. Would have loved to have had some hooks and mirrors in the bedrooms! But overall the place was great and can't wait to come again!!

This is a beautiful home with lots of space for a large family or multiple families. You could see water from both side of the house and the beach was an easy walk. The rooms were very comfortable and having a pool onsite was also a plus. Would definitely recommend this home.

enjoyed our stay the location was great the weather was great and loved the white sand. The customer service was good the house keeping was not as good as expected had a problem with roaches. After house keeping and bug problem fixed would recommend this property. We enjoyed the dolphin cruise and shopping as well as the white sand beach.

Great house and accurately described. Plenty of room for the 9 of us. Close to the beach which is great in the heat. Pool was big and very nice. Plenty of furniture inside and out.

A short one block walk to the gulf beach, two blocks to the Sound. Quiet area away from the hubbub of the Board Walk and public beach area. Plenty of interior room for privacy. Pool was great. It was cleaned and checked mi-week.

The TV's only had 2 channels in the bedrooms. You also need a skimmer for the pool. We had a dead lizard and a lot of bugs that we really needed to get out of the pool. Also, we had 4 coolers stolen. Overall, our stay was great. Just those 2 minor inconveniences.

hade a great time love the home an the location

It's a nice house and nice location. It is also a frustrating experience due to a lack of thoughtfulness/attentiveness to basic hospitality needs. A few of the items outlined below I learned about right before the stay, but generally still are areas that should be addressed IMO:
* Missing basics like...sugar. Do we really need to go to the store and buy sugar?
* Only one-use detergent for W/D. I guess you don't want guess to use the appliance
* Toaster - it was in such bad shape it may have been more of a fire hazard than convenience
* Two beach chairs - you should have several. it's a beach house.
* No beach towels - we are from out of town...are we supposed to bring or buy beach towels to use for 2 days? Gimme a break
* No source of music - it doesn't have to be expensive but having nothing at all is sad.
* 5pm check-in / 10am check 's a little late and a little early. If you make check -in at 2pm you basically get a reasonable day in for Day 1. We've stayed at other places in Pensacola with much more reasonable check-in/check-out times. For the money being charged for this property, you essentially make it less of a value stay.
* Clean-up expectations...asking guests to wash and put back all the kitchen items in their originally place is a little onerous. You are charging a $250 clean up fee for what is essentially a 2 days stay. That's a LOT i you are requiring guests to essentially leave it in the same condition it was in when arrived. Seems like $250 for making beds and vacuuming the floors.

Great property close to all amenities and beach!
Only slight problem was that the furniture is a bit 'tired' otherwise fantastic...

We had a great experience. The home was very nice & clean & spacious. Perfect location.

Wow! What a beautiful home! We enjoyed our vacation "home-away-from-home" so much, and would highly recommend your company! We hope to come back again! Also, your staff was so courteous and helpful! Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 500 Maldanado. The location was perfect and the house was very nice. We had an excellent stay and I would recommend this house to others.

By far the best family vacation ever. We plan to do this annually.

Views were great, as well as location. Plenty of room and extras for the grand children to be entertained. Lower AC unit didn't keep up with heat but I know it was unusually hot this year.

This home worked very well for my children and grandchildren. The 2 master suites were a big hit for my children and spouses while the grandchildren loved the pool. The view of both the sound and the Gulf from any of the decks was awesome. Your agency promptly provided a gas grill which we needed.

The house and location were great! We spent most mornings and evenings sitting on the awesome deck. Only issue we had was with the washing machine which was never fixed during our visit.

One of my family top 5 vacations. We will be back and will rent only properties of Paradise Beach Homes. PBH met and certainly exceeded our every expectations.

The stay and location were great, close to everything.

The location was perfect. One block from the beach and a nice walk to the Boardwalk area for shopping and eating.
When we contacted Paradise Beach Homes about a problem, they came out immediately to fix it.
The house was clean but does need a good spring cleaning. But what can one expect from a rental. And maybe it is because I am compulsive when it comes to cleanliness. Others would not have a problem with it. It had everything that we needed for the week. I would recommend it to anyone.

We spent 5 nights at the house for a family trip over spring break. The location was great. A very short walk to the beach. The nearby beach was clean and quiet. We found the house to be comfortable with a nice layout. There were 3 young children in our party and it was easy for them to sleep upstairs without being disturbed by noise from downstairs. Everything we needed to stay comfortably was provided. I would say that the house could have been cleaned a little more thoroughly before our arrival. It was quite dusty. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definately return.

We were a group of 14 and the house was great! Clean, spacious and , good layout. We have rented 3 other houses in the area and this was one of the best for yr group.

We stayed in this house in 2011 and promised to return. It's the perfect location. You have an unobstructed view of both the Gulf and the Bay. There's a trolly stop within a matter of feet. It's large enough to accommodate my large family with two master suites (one on the main level for folks who don't traverse steps well) and a jack and jill style bathroom and bedrooms. It also has an additional living room for the teenagers to stake claim. It is starting to show it's age though. The AC is starting to have difficulty keeping up. One of the front windows is rotting through from the porch above it. We had to put a towel in the window to keep it from pouring on the floor. The only real negative is the Wifi was AWFUL! We all got data notices from our providers because of the poor wifi connection. Also, note that there is a new build next door. So, it wasn't quite a peaceful as the stay before But, we'd definitely stay again.

There were several issues in this home. One shower did not work and we had to request someone be sent to repair that. Dishwasher was full of dirty dishes. Very minimally stocked. One toilet paper roll in each bathroom? Not realistic! We supplied clothes laundry soap, bath soaps, and hand soaps, bottled water, toilet paper, paper towels and more. For the rental price, there should be more amenities provided. Please include my name, Courtney Winstead as reviewer. I worked with the rental agency. My spouse, James, did not.
