Portside Villas #36

Let’s start with the garage. You can fit 2 full size cars in it! I didn’t know this just from looking at it. Once you get inside the garage there are chairs and beach toys to use if you desire. Upon opening the door to the house we were pleasantly surprised. It was like being at home. Every thing you need is in this house!

We loved everything about this condo: the decor and furnishings, the convenient layout and overall storage, overall cleanliness, and the general feel and ambiance of the condo and location. You can’t beat this end location for watching the sunset! Everything was as described overall. Paradise Beach Homes was so friendly and easy to work with and provided excellent customer service. Horizon Beach Service did an excellent job for us with chairs and umbrella. The full-time neighbors were very friendly and nice. Our only feedback is minor and did not affect our enjoyment of our outstanding vacation: I had to rearrange things in the kitchen in order to have room for groceries because all the cabinets, drawers, and shelves were occupied. We had to clean under all the furniture and beds so that our small dog who would fit underneath didn't get hurt. We swept out a piece of glass, half an old chicken tender (I think), and numerous other trash. We would have loved to be able to use the elevator just for unpacking and packing because carrying boxes and luggage up and down the steps was not so easy for us, but we understand that rule, and we knew it going in. We highly recommend this condo and Paradise Beach Service!

Nothing but good things to say. Washer/dryer. 30 second walk to the sand. Great view. Comfortable beds. Full-size fridge with ice maker. Full-size dishwasher. Management company is great and responsive. I don’t think we’ll book any other property in Pensacola when we visit.

This was our 3rd or 4th year staying at Portside Villas #36, and we couldn't have been happier. This is the best location on Santa Rosa Island. You're near all the action (restaurants, etc), but you are also in the absolute last unit on the beach before the state park and Dog Park to your right. It's very private and dark at night - great view of the stars. Accommodations are great, though the furniture and decor is a bit eclectic for my 75 year old Mom who stays with us. My only recommendation to the unit owner would be to switch out the sofa sleeper with a couch that is a little bit more comfortable (maybe a blow up mattress could be left in the closet as a substitute). The couch cushions are on their last leg I think.

Great location. This property is adjacent to the dog park and a few miles from Fort Pickens. We rented for the first time last year and brought our dog. Loved it so we came back again this year. We have found a perfect vacation home for our family and booked again for next year. Place was spotless. We noticed owners replaced a worn recliner in living room and a new clothes dryer. Very much appreciated. This place has a huge balcony with plenty of furniture so we can all sit outside. View of beach from master and main living area. The lower level also has a great seating and eating area and the grill was clean and ready to go. We topped off the propane tank before we used it. Area has great restaurants. We loved the Crabs on the beach place.

Manager's Response

excellent as always, a little problem with garage door, fixed immediately. staff always very courteous and the place is exceptional. Oakley starting to feel like it's his home as well. Will be back in the fall and next spring when booking opens up. Thank-you so much.

This was an incredible place for a get-away! The condo is comfortable and the view is exquisite!

Manager's Response

i finally found my pensacola home! beautiful, quiet, and my puppy loved the beautiful porch, right next to the dog beach, have already booked the next 2 trips!!

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful stay at Portside Villas #36. The unit has a very homey feel albeit it's eclectic decor. The unit is well stocked with necessities. It does have a strong musty odor from the moisture of the beach. A humidifier or air freshening system would be advantageous. We purchased small air fresheners and placed them around the house which helped. The unit feels very private and the view is perfection. We will absolutely return.

Manager's Response

Paradise Beach Homes was absolutely perfect and we typically recommend them to anyone we talk to wanting to stay at P-Beach. The unit was a little cluttered, but perfect in every way. We will be booking here again, maybe this fall! Great job to Paradise and to the owners of the unit.

This rental was absolutely everything we could have hoped for, and then some. We have two young boys, ages 2 and 4, and it was kid friendly and comfortable for all of us! The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only thing we were unsure of prior to our arrival was what exactly would be supplier. So for others wondering the same type of thing, you get one roll of TP per toilet, one roll of paper towels, a couple dishwasher pods, but no laundry pods or detergent. I mention that so others can pack accordingly- it was not a big deal to us, just good information to have in advance! We had a wonderful time and had a beautiful view of the ocean and a comfortable and kid friendly balcony to relax on. The owners also have brita water filters/pitchers in the fridge so you do not need to bring a whole case of water with you, we were able to refill out reusable water bottles! We cannot wait to stay again, it was a perfect vacation, just wish it was longer!

Manager's Response

We spend a week or two on Pensacola Beach almost every year. This was our first stay at #36 Portside Villas and it's the nicest of the rentals we've tried so far. Great location, large enough to not get in each other's way, furnished with anything you might need and then some. Recommend it to anyone looking for a unit that comfortably sleeps 4.

Manager's Response

The property and weather were both outstanding.
The property was clean, and ready early for us when we arrived. Everything worked just fine, and we had a great time. This is the second time we have stated at this property, and look forward to coming back again next year.

Manager's Response

This property may have the nicest view of the beach anywhere on Santa Rosa Island. The unit is well decorated and comfortable, and clean. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning.

Manager's Response

It was the perfect place for me and my family! The decor in the condo was cozy! It had everything we needed. The view of the beach was breath taking. Unit 36 was just right for us. We loved having the dog park 50 yards to the right of us! We will definitely be back!

Manager's Response

I have stayed here numerous times. I love the location and views. The people at Paradise Homes are friendly and helpful. I love staying here several times a year.

Manager's Response

We loved everything about this condo... it was decorated exactly how we would if it were ours. The bed in the master bedroom was super comfortable. It was a wonderful place to stay.

Manager's Response

Very nice condo

Love this place and the location

Manager's Response

nice place - Joe w Paradise was super friendly. If you have a loud group don't stay here - the year round neighbors are not welcoming.

It was great as usual. Love the location and privacy.

A lovely home right against the dunes to relax and unwind in. My family enjoyed the pool and tennis courts, as well. The Villa lived up to its description and made for a great family memories

I love the private balconies and beach access.

This house was AMAZING. The kitchen was fully stocked and the garage had lots of beach toys, chairs, and floaties for us to use. The views were astonishing. You can shower and see the water! The beach was beautiful and was never crowded in front of the condo. We brought our dog with us and the dog beach was a minute walk away. Mike and Susie did a wonderful job decorating and the furnature was nice. Our only complaint about the house, location, or beach was the absoultely rude and unkind neighbor that lives in the other half of the dulpex. They didn't come outside much, but when they did they had something to complain about. We will definitely be staying again!!!!!

Our family was just amazed by this home,location and view!!! Its so hard picking a rental online and you are a bit hesitant. This home is everything and more than described!! The beach was never crowded, we got a dolphin show every morning! The house was clean, even though we did some deep cleaning in our down time when it rained and before we left the home!
I cannot say enough about this property and what a great experience we had with PBH! I literally hated to leave. Im ready to return and counting down the days until I do return!!!

Great location if you have pets as pet beach was just steps away from condo. Area was quiet. Condo was well maintained.

Great Time. We love the Condo. Its our third time in this unit.

This condo was everything and then some. Super satisfied with the location, amenities and overall experience. Have already recommended the property to a family member and would come back again!

I was able to enjoy a nice relaxing vacation. I love the privacy that the unit provided. The solid wall separating the units balconies gave us and the guests next door luxury of providing us both with individual vacations without being part of the other guests' stay.

Beautiful week on pensacola beach
Owned a home here for 23 years and sold
Good to be back
Spacious ,squeaky clean well appointed t house
Kitchen well stocked

The house was amazing. The neighbor was an absolute nightmare. She would be the only reason I wouldn't come back.

This condo was beautiful. The patio was fantastic. We will stay here again!!

Portside Villas #36 was a very clean and spacious unit. The Owner and or management stocked the kitchen with tons of brand new spices and condiments for us to use. The kitchen was very lovely and well stocked with the necessities to cook and dine with. The beds were great and the master shower wonderful. We only had one drawback, the couches were not comfortable and need to be replaced. We ate at "Crabs", the food and music were wonderful. We found a really nice gift shop called " Pizzaz". It has wonderful coastal gifts. It rained and was cold the first day, but we didn't mind at all. The ocean view was amazing. The dog beach was a plus for our dog, Buddy and he loved it. Seashell hunting was fun and plentiful. Many Thanks to the owner and management for making our stay wonderful. We will definitionally return. We would love to share some great pictures of our view.....If you like.

Had a wonderful Christmas at Portside Villas #36.
Could not have asked for better place and the weather was fabulous!

Are stay was nice.

We loved the layout and overall furnishings. The weather was perfect. Great week!

Our first stay at more of a private place rather than a resort type condo. Loved it!

We enjoyed our stay, and the rental company was very good with their service. This is the third time we have stayed in this condo. Love the porch!

This was my 6th time renting this unit. The location is great, however, there were some differences from previous stays there. This time, it seems all of the saucepans were removed. So do boil pasta, we had to use a large frying pan. Plus, the Rubbermaid containers were all mismatched. There was only one container with a matching lid. Just weird how the kitchen used to be fully stocked but isn't any longer. We were also told we could check in early at noon, and I confirmed this the day before arrival. They said the unit would be cleaned Friday night. However, we arrived at 1pm and couldn't check-in because the cleaning crew had just arrived at the unit.

We had the best stay! The property was so much more tan we expected. My family loved the location and enjoyed every minute of staying here. The gift bag was so unexpected, but so appreciated after a long drive! We have been coming to PB for many years and will be staying in this townhome next time!

We have been staying with Paradise Beach Homes for the last 7 years. Always happy with the properties and staff. We have stayed here at this property for the last 3 years. Great location, perfect for us and family. Being pet friendly helps also. Look forward to returning next year.

Swimming at the Dog Park Beach daily without loading the dogs into a vehicle. Beautiful flat with perfect deck and views. Inside parking with amenities to ignore and unplug. 40+ft pool 6 ft deep for real swimming. Quiet and convenient to town, and even better forget it is there and relax.

We had such a great time on our "girls trip" - with our dog Annie.
The views were fantastic and the dog beach being next door was very convenient.
There are plenty of beach related items in the garage – chairs & umbrellas and even several bikes, too.
Only regret is we didn’t stay longer.
We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful week on Pensacola Beach! Our favorite beach spot without the crowds of summer!

Would stay again

The villa was absolutely beautiful with a spectacular ocean view. The kitchen was equipped very well. The private elevator was extremely helpful getting groceries and luggage to the living area. We will definitely re-book next year.

We enjoyed our week-long stay at Portside Villas 36 from Aug. 1-8th, 2015. It is
A beautifully-decorated, comfortable unit directly on the Gulf of Mexico. We had an issue with the garbage disposal and rental management company was Johnny-On-The-Spot to fix it. The only negative was the neighbor in next door unit who complained to us about a couple of issues.

Great place to stay, the view was wonderful and a short walk to water. Our home was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Our only problem was the TV in the main room, we had to leave TV on most of the time or leave it unplug for hours to get it to work. Maintenance looked at the TV and said they would get us another one but never showed up or called, he said TV had been a problem before. But all in all it was a great vacation for our family of eight! Would stay here again for sure!!!

Love the location of the condo. Love the porch!!! Love the "Blues". Paradise Beach Homes--such a nice group.

We had a wonderful time!! The location was perfect! Walk to the beach and trolley to the town when needed. Nothing like being able to view the Gulf all day. The beds were comfortable too.

Loved the space, location, and the fact that it is right next to the new dog beach. Loved pool! My only issue is that the living room TV set up is not great (for the price you are paying). If it is raining, you want to watch TV. The size is great but no HD channels so the quality is bad and no external sound so the TV sound is not good.

This unit is right on the beach with easy access and a dog park right next to this end unit. August was super hot but the unit was very comfortable. Our lab loved the extra large balcony and the dog park. The unit wasn't super clean and there are drainage problems in all drains with mold showing in the bathrooms but there were cleaners that I used.

It was amazing; it helped that the weather and water were perfect. The condo is modern, gorgeous, roomy, and in an excellent location. It is a corner unit with no noise other than waves crashing and seagulls chirping. When we called to book, the General Manager was very accomodating by allowing us to book a day short of the minimum nights stay (we were booking about a week before our arrival, so it was unlikely it might have booked at all). We appreciate his flexibility as well as the ability to check in early. We'll be back!

Portside Villas #36 was very nice and right on the beach. Very good view of the water and Ft. Pickens. The two bedroom was spacious and well furnished. I will be back here next year. I have found my place in Pensacola beach.

If I could bring one thing home from my trip, it would be the Porch!!! I could not wait until morning to drink my coffee and listen to the ocean. We had such a nice breeze,even in July. Every thing was so nice, and the staff was so kind to send me a forgotten item. There is no show like the Blue Angels. Peg Legs is always fun. We were so close to the beach and to the Dog Park. The kids enjoyed the pool. I'm ready to go back!!

Everything about this property was wonderful, except when we arrived our cleaning service must have forgotten to clean, because the floors were filthy, the kitchen counters were loaded with crumbs and sugar ants. All furniture looked like it had not been cleaned or dusted in quite some time. This was very unacceptable!!!
