Biennial Visit to our favorite Beach
We’ve been visiting the area since 2006 and have used Paradise Beach Homes for every stay in Pensacola Beach - and they have always made our trips stress free. This trip was no exception. The home was beautiful, clean, and very spacious. We were slightly concerned about the stairs, and there are many, but by the 2nd day we were pretty acclimated. The stairwell is essentially a tower offsetting the separate floors and there is a landing every 6 steps or so. There is a cased opening as you enter each floor so if you have a wide baby gate, you can separate the area from the stairwell for the littles. (We honestly thought the stairs would pose a bigger problem for the toddlers, but they are tucked away and we never felt the need to use the gate we brought) The main living area is on the 3rd floor so have everyone ready when the groceries are delivered to limit the number of trips up the stairs! We found the house to be really quiet due to the layout. The room directly below the living area could hear morning traffic (toddlers) but none of the other rooms reported any noise while sleeping. The pool is larger than it appears in photos and there was a propane grill. There were lots of leftover beach/pool toys, floats, and an umbrella. The roof top deck was a lovely escape and provided a beautiful view. We brought a wagon and it’s an easy walk to the beach. 25D and 25E are at each end of the block and both have partially paved/covered walkovers making access so much easier. 25E became our preferred access, little longer walk but the walkover on the dune was a little longer making the wagon pull easier. (There is also a little shortcut that allows you to cut mid block between Maldonado and Ariola). We would definitely stay in this home again!

Awesome beachfront home away from home
The split level home gave everyone privacy when sleeping but the ultimate together time when awake. Loved having the pool and rooftop deck! Great for a large group and would highly recommend!

We had a great time, we have stayed with Paradise Beach Rentals now for 4 years on Labor Day weekend. The pool was awesome addition. My wife has medical issues and the all the stairs was a bit much for her. Everyone had a great time and are looking forward to next year.

Excellent Stay
We had a wonderful week at this house. Thoroughly enjoyed the pool and all the space the house had to offer. Everything seemed well maintained and clean. Couple of suggestions: larger dining table (4 person table for a 6 bed house seems too small) and install safety gates on deck for kids around the pool.

Family Fall Break
we were very satisfied with the home and all the amenities. The game room and pool a plus for all the kids. The short walk to the beach wasn't bad at all. Not too satisfied with the management offices customer service. I fully understood that we could not get in until 5:00pm and we arrived at 4:00 to see if the house was ready and they told me not yet and started to give me my packet only to pull it back and tell me I would have to drive back to get it. I ask could we go ahead and get the packet so I wouldn't have to drive back to the office. I had to promise not to go in until they called me and was told if I did go in the deal would be off...not sure what that meant. They only had one key at the time so I had to drive back to get the second key the next morning anyway. The TV's were out the first night but a direct TV guy showed up the next day and all but one tv was fixed I called the office the next day and I never received a call back and no one showed up to fix it.

A house for 16 people and dining for 4
Our stay was fine, but we were unable to entertain due to the limited space. Decks were too small for seating, and dining table sat only 4. Bedrooms were as advertised

Great Family House
I brought my whole family down, 8 adults, 8 grandkids. I like to be a little closer to the beach but it wasn't too bad. House had plenty of room. Kids loved pool after spending the day at the beach. Adults and kids enjoyed the game room. The landscaping was beautiful. Only problems were minor, a couple of chairs around the pool were broke and the fans in the game room were not working. We called and someone came over within the hour and removed the broken chairs. next day some brought some floor fans. The over head fans were fixed at the end of the week. These were minor and did not affect the good time we had.

A great family vacation
My family took my dad to Pensacola for his 75th birthday. He always wanted to go to Naval Air Museum. We made the right choice with our house..for sure. The property had everything we needed. It was clean and close to the beach. The pool was a great plus. The folks at Paradise Beach Homes were wonderful to work with. We had a fantastic time...already talking about returning next year...and staying at the same property.

Great vacation home
Really enjoyed this home. The pool was such a great asset for us. Yard and pool were very clean and the adjacent game room with ping pong was lots of fun.

Week of Fun with Family and Friends
This is our 4th year going down to Pensacola Beach. In the past, we have always rented small condos. We always meet with friends and their families down so that we can all spend time together. (We all live in different cities/states, and see each other only on occasion.) This year we all decided to get a house together. There were 5 adults and 6 kids so space was a must... and a POOL. This house was perfect for us. Everyone had their own space. The pool was perfect after spending time on the beach and the kids still wanted to be in water.The rooftop deck was amazing and perfect for stargazing each night. We even sat up there one evening watching a storm roll past in the distance. This house was perfect for our 3 families and will definitely be staying here again in the future!Our ONLY complaint/issue with this house is the size of the washing machine. When you are staying in a million dollar home and have 11 people in the house, you cannot have a TINY stackable washer and dryer. It would do 3 towels at the most and took forever to dry. If I could give the owners a recommendation, it would be to put a full size washer and dryer in the garage as well. This house can sleep up to 16 (I think), and with that many people staying in a house for one week, it requires a lot of laundry to be done. Overall, I would highly recommend this home for a rental. It is in a great location (less than 5 minute walk to the beach.)See you soon Pensacola!

Great Extended Family Vacation
The amount of room in the house was excellent. The stairs were the biggest downfall to the house. The kitchen/living area is on the top. We had our annual family vacation here and was not disappointed. The walk to the beach was minimal and the beach area was not crowded during the entire week.

Wonderful house and perfect location to the beach !
The only issue we had was the stairs. All 48 of them! Other than that the house was great as well as the roof top deck overlooking the area and the ocean. Nice short walk to the beach (5 minutes tops). We had a great time and look forward to doing it again real soon !!

Great Location Average Property
Stayed at this home for one week in June 2014. Chose the propert based on cost, location, and pool. Based on those three criteria, the home met my expectations. However, the home has a strong odor of mustiness upon entering the first floor. The smell is mostly confined to that area. The kitchen pots and pans need a complete overhaul. It seems to be equipped with leftovers from the owner's kitchen. Nonstick pans are very scratched and pots are too few. The kitchen sink's faucet needs to be replaced due to a broken sprayer and low water pressure. Some of the electrical outlets did not work or tripped the GFCI often. Also, the bedroom with the bunk beds needs to have a ceiling fan in it for air circulation. But all those things aside, the roof top view was amazing both day and night, the pool was refreshing, and everyone got a great leg workout due to the four floor setup of the home.

Labor Day Vacation
This property was BEAU-T-FUL. It had everything I could ask for in a property and more. The kids were entertained with the pool and game room and the adults enjoyed the rooftop sitting and waking up sitting on the decks in the mornings. The only improvement is that there needs to be two outdoor trash cans instead of one. Other than that, this place is amazing.

July vacation
The description of the property was not entirely accurate, but it was going through a renovation at the time. The new side of the house once completed provided a gameroom with a ping-pong tablet, shuffleboard table, and pop a shot basketball which our family very much enjoyed during our stay. The home was only 1.5 blocks off the beach which was very convenient, and our family enjoyed the pool in the backyard. The main living area and pool were larger than appeared in the pictures. The cleaning company they use though left something to be desired. Also, the management property was a little difficult to deal with before arriving to the property, but during our stay they were prompt in dealing with any issues.

Nice property despite the need to climb two sets of stairs to get to the kitchen/living area. Great observation/cocktail deck.

Beautiful pool, close to the beach, Lots of steps
The house was nice. There was plenty of room and the furniture in the living area was comfortable. Positives: close to a paved walkway to the beach, large nice pool, several bedrooms with comfortable beds.Cons: 28 steps to get to the main living area, I would suggest at least a dumbwaiter if not an elevator. Not having a porch in the front where you can look over the ocean. The rooftop deck was nice, but again more steps and HOT because it was uncovered.

Great Place for many family members!
loved the house completely!! would totally stay there again!! only drawback would be that it would have been nice to have a refrigerator in the garage with an ice maker. 16 people in 1 house and that little ice maker they had didn't work out too well.

1205 Maldonado Review
The location of this rental place was great. The pool area was nice for our family to visit. Although, the pool could have been cleaner. The rental company sent people over to help with a few miner things right when we called. It was the perfect place to watch the Blue Angels show. All in all it was a great place!

Beautiful House and Location
Everything was very easy, booking, check-in, was all painless. We had a couple accidents in the house that I'm still waiting to hear back about but as embarrassing as it was to have to tell them, they were very professional and understanding about the situations. I would highly recommend staying here, the roof balcony is definitely my favorite part.
