Pensacola offers a vibrant blend of culture, coastal charm, and year-round events. The up-and-coming downtown community is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, known for its restaurants, breweries, nightlife, and pet-friendly, relaxed feel. Take in a Blue Wahoos game or a concert at Vinyl, both just two miles away, or watch the incredible Blue Angels practice weekly. Fort Pickens is a short drive and makes for a fun day trip any time of year. In summer, anglers flock to the Gulf for world-class red snapper fishing season. Don’t miss the Pensacola Seafood Festival, Pensacon, or the Great Gulfcoast Arts Festival—family-friendly events all within a short distance. Bruce's Beach Park, complete with kayak launch and Mahogany Mills Boat launch are both less than a mile away, or for a unique way to explore, try a Segway tour downtown. Other favorites include the Double Bridge Run in February, Bands on the Beach concerts, the Pensacola Beach Art & Wine Festival. Additionally, on the third Friday of each month year round, downtown Pensacola comes alive during Gallery Night Pensacola, a free, family-friendly event featuring local artists, live music, food trucks, and themed festivities that transform the streets into a bustling cultural experience. With its rich blend of culture, cuisine, and community spirit Pensacola offers something for everyone.

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!

Summer vacation

We had a party of four and this place was absolutely perfect. Great location to get to the beach and downtown. The place has all the amenities you will need. Even the garage is equipped with a/c, tv, fridge sofa. It’s like a whole separate living space. Covered area for car. Beautiful fenced backyard that was great to relax. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Easily 5 stars.

Excellent Air Band B in Historic District

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

EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS - 10 out of 10

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.
