It is a charming cottage equipped perfectly. Great communication with the host. Beautiful, private backyard. Covered parking for easy loading and unloading. Super location.
The house is so cute and very pretty inside and out! Loved all the plants and the hang out space in the finished garage and the backyard. Great place to vacation and wonderful communication and kindness from the owners!
I truly felt at peace here. We had everything we needed there within the home and the garage. I can’t find enough words to express my gratitude to Cissy. I was able to breathe. The flowers, the plants, the bed! All amazing! The check in process was seamless. Stay here every chance you get!

Great 70's vibe, family area, wonder backyard fire pit! Just whaty family needed a home away from home.
This home is an old charmer from the 40s. Extremely well maintained in the St. john’s district. Great yard for the dogs. Close to all downtown attractions yet far enough away to have peace and quiet. Around the corner is the St. john’s cemetery with the first interment in the 1860s. Definite recommend
The property was beautiful. Nice open floor plan. Lots of items included that you might need (beach towels, lotion, aloe vera), fully equipped kitchen, dog bed and toys, great converted garage to rec room. We plan to visit again!
The house is just like you see in the pictures and is perfect for a family get away. It has everything you need for your stay so don’t worry about beach towels or chairs or an umbrella they have you covered. There is even a cooler for you to use. Everything was very nice and in the perfect location.
Everything was as described and picture. Our family LOVED staying here. It was perfect for their needs and especially cozy, comfy and clean. Close to Pensacola Yacht Club where the wedding was and really close to downtown and 20 minutes to beaches. Again perfect for our stay.
The way this house is decorated and stocked is impeccable! I’ve stayed in many vacation homes and this one will stand out to me for sure! So cozy! Very close to downtown area. 3 minutes to a local grocery store. Great eats and beach within an easy 20 minute drive. We had a wonderful stay!
This is our second time staying at this property! We love the convenient location, the tasteful decor, the awesome outdoor space, and how it is so sparkling clean! House is very well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Hosts are super friendly and responsive. It is clear they take pride in their property. We love it! :)
The Simmons House far exceeded our expectations. The owners / managers have thought of EVERYTHING! Every little detail was covered from dog treats and dog toys to bath linens and beach supplies (chairs, umbrella, toys and cooler) to coffee and laundry soap. Everything exceeded expectations, the decor, the beds, the pillows, the appliances, the fully enclosed fenced in yard and the list goes on and on. Not only would I / we recommend the Simmons House, but we will most definitely stay there again.
This rental was the perfect location for my wedding. The backyard is spacious enough for a small intimate gathering of family and friends. All the bedrooms were cozy, however the master bedroom was dreamy. I honestly could go on about the look of the place because you can tell they put care into making is a home away from home. The welcome packet with suggestions for things to do and places to eat locally was well thought of ,bad I'm saying this as a native of Pensacola FL who came back to get married. The neighborhood is quiet and nice where it is located.
Anyway we had a blast and I will definitely cherish the memories. I would have loved to stay longer. That is how much I enjoyed being there.
House was wonderful! Just as described, we had a great time. 4 adults and 2 children and we found plenty of activities at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked. Several people talked about the beautiful plants. House and outdoor areaa were very clean.
This house is so cute! It was easy to find, had ample parking, and the location is fantastic. The backyard is cozy and private. There is a Keurig and a Drip style machine if that matters to you. This is just a gorgeous home. I wish I knew how to decorate like this! We would definitely stay here again. Perfect!
This was a perfect weekend gathering for our friends! We were able to bring our dogs and we all loved the backyard setup. It was a short drive to everything you need. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a cozy stay!
