Fabulous in every way!

Our stay at Red Door exceeded expectations. Communications were answered immediately and pleasantly. Check in was easy and the house was pristine!! This historic home has been excellently remodeled with all the conveniences of a modern home without sacrificing it's antique charm. Beautifully furnished, well stocked, comfortable. Safe, quiet street with private parking, fenced backyard meticulously maintained. The location is in the heart of downtown. Everything within walking distance! There was even a Farmer's Market in the park there Saturday which we thoroughly enjoyed! We would not hesitate to stay again...and again!!! Thank you for everything...it was perfect!

Perfect Vacation Home

We have stayed in several homes and condominiums over the years for vacation, and The Red Door home is by far the best of all of them. The owners, Teri and David, offer an amazing home that is spacious, cozy, and suited us perfectly. There were four adults staying in the home over Thanksgiving. The kitchen was perfect for preparing our Thanksgiving feast. The open living room/dining room area is so inviting. The front porch and the back patio made for great outdoor relaxing areas as the weather was perfect during our stay. With the master bedroom downstairs and the second bedroom upstairs we all had plenty of room and privacy. The location of home was close to many of the downtown Pensacola restaurants and venues that interested us. It is also an easy drive to the beach. Gloria, the property manager, met us at the home when we arrived. She showed us all around the home, answered all of our questions, and made us feel welcome. This was truly our home away from home for the week, and we are already thinking about a return trip in the future.

Wonderful 18 Days

With family in Pensacola & Destin, and a grandson graduating from UWF, my two little dogs & I stayed here for 2½ weeks (our post-Covid family reunion). Over the years I have stayed in quite a few pet-friendly rental homes on the beach... condos, townhouses, etc., but I decided to stay in town this time because of the bridge closure (when I reserved the opening date of 3-Mile Bridge was not known). Being near Seville Square was wonderful -- I once lived on Zarragossa (that's how it was spelled then) in the 1970's, so it was like coming home for me. Surprisingly, although there were continual Memorial Day parades & festivals a block away, this area was quiet. And there is parking for 3 cars off the street so my family was able to visit, park, and we could walk to Palafox restaurants. The house had everything I needed -- I did quite a bit of cooking for myself while I was there. Gloria was wonderful and very eager to have everything perfect for me.... which it was. The king bed was incredibly comfortable. And I could walk in my bare feet without my feet getting dirty or sandy -- the house was the cleanest of any I have ever stayed in. Unlike townhouses, the master is on the main level and my knees really appreciated not climbing stairs. The back yard was fully enclosed so I could let the dogs out without having them on a leash... a real bonus late at night. There was a nice courtyard for my morning coffee, too. To summarize... this is the perfect vacation home, and it's the first rental I have had that I feel I could actually live in full-time.

We went for a girlfriend getaway and this was the perfect house and location. From sitting on the front porch drinking coffee to walking to shops and restaurants we loved it. The house has been updated and kept historic at the same time. I will definitely recommend this to friends and family.

A Charming Pensacola Gem

This was our first time with Vrbo. We came to visit our Sailor at the local base. The location is close to the airport, very close to Downtown, and many restaurants. It is such a charming home with all the necessary comforts to make you feel at home. The communication with the host, Gloria was EXCELLENT. The home is spacious and incredibly clean. While we didn’t use the yard, it is very large and well maintained. We absolutely enjoyed our time here and we would absolutely book another experience here if we plan to revisit the Pensacola area. Gloria, was in touch with us immediately upon booking and was very attentive and helpful for the duration of our visit. She was an absolute pleasure. My entire family had an amazing time here. We absolutely loved our time here at the Red Door.
