Great little ‘hideaway’

Spent a wonderful week, very spacious for my husband and I. We lacked for nothing- full kitchen, large bedroom and living space. We loved the design and decor- great parking and close to everything and anything. Would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend. If Pensacola is your vacation destination…grab this one

Wonderful Historic home just a 10 minute walk to Bay Center

This is an adorable and spacious cottage with a nice outdoor patio and you can add on the extra studio for a little more room which we did because our friend joined us for the McGuires 5k. We were a quick walk to McGuires. It was private and safe and clean, And the host was quick and responsive and easy to work with about 10 minutes

9 days in the Gadsden Hideaway

I was looking for a place to work remotely while getting my daughter settled into college. The Gadsden Hideaway was absolutely perfect! The property manager will give you clear instructions on finding this gem shortly before your arrival. You'll find a great layout perfect for a couple of adults or small family. The location is perfect- the beach is minutes away, and so are some great Pensacola restaurants. Check in and check out were super easy, too.

Quaint, sweet home

Cynthia is a good communicator. She addressed things as best she could in a timely manner. I think an emergency came up with the housekeeper and that was the reason for the place not really ready for us at check-in. Had some problems with the tv and internet modem, but we weren't there for tv anyway.

Happy Hideaway

We had a wonderful stay at Gadsden Hideaway. Everything was super clean. Home was as depicted. We appreciated the suggestions in the book for things to do and places to eat.Maria's East End Grill was fantastic, actually ate there twice during out stay. Also, Peg Leg Pete's was recommended and was lots of fun. Very eclectic decor and the food was excellent.We would definitely stay here again if we should return to the area.
