Huge Historical Victorian Mansion in Downtown Pensacola

Travel back in time in your own private historical mansion! Wine & dine your guests in good old fashioned style right in the heart of historical downtown Pensacola just one block off Palafox St. This beautiful 4400 sqft Victorian home boasts 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms 2 dining areas a grand lobby, proper parlor as well as a comfortable TV room. Unique features such as soaring 11 foot ceilings, original stained glass windows and an ornate grand wood staircase.

The space
One of Pensacola’s architecturally significant Victorian homes. Built originally in 1904 for the Thomas W. Brent, Jr. family. It has also been a hotel, a bed-and-breakfast, an advertising agency, and many more. Previously featured in Southern Living Magazine. The house construction initiated in 1902 by Steamboat Captain James M. Flynn and was completed around 1904 when the Brent family moved in. While this home has served many roles throughout its history, many of the charming historic details remain intact today. This includes the ornate wooden staircase in the foyer, 7 original fireplaces each with a unique hand carved wooden mantel. A favorite detail are the stunning stained glass windows throughout the house!

Guest access
Guests will have private access to the entire home, yard, porch and deck. There is parking around the back of the home that can accommodate approx 7-10 vehicles if organized well.

Other things to note
Being a 100+ year old home staying here is a little different than staying in a modern construction home. Please be mindful of low railings and fragile elements.

-No events or parties without prior permission.
-No smoking or vaping of any kind inside the house.
-You will be responsible for the safety and conduct of individuals in your group.

Heavenly

This property is absolutely wonderful for a large family or group! The verandah hosted us day and night for long talks and catch-ups. There were plenty of bedrooms - all lovely - for us to pick from, and rooms for storytelling, movie watching, and plenty of laughs! Lots of room for parking, too. Book this beautiful house - you won't regret it! Rooms enoughplenty

Perfect for large groups

This was one of the only properties in the area that could accommodate all of us under one roof and I’m glad we found it. Shanna(host) was very nice and easy to communicate with. The house was aesthetically pleasing to say the least. And being walking distance from downtown was a huge plus. We’re already planning next years trip to stay here again

Perfect Venue

We had the best time at this beautiful house. We hosted a 1950s themed murder mystery 60th birthday party, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue. The house is magnificent (the pictures just cannot communicate how incredible the house is), and is filled with uniquely and tastefully curated furniture, decor, and stained glass. We fell in love at first site. And Shanna is incredibly easy to get ahold of with questions. You cannot go wrong booking this location!

The perfect place for a family gathering. Plenty of place for everyone. Good location. The house was well maintained. Neighborhood is very quiet. Somethings were within walking distance. Kids loved the Mess Hall that is nearby. The beach was a big hit. We all had a great time.
