You've got the whole place to yourself, but our local Coastal Sunrises team is on standby around the clock from check-in to checkout. The fastest way to reach us is right here in the app messaging — we typically reply within minutes, whether you need directions from downtown Pensacola (just 5 minutes away), help working the ecobee thermostat or Schlage smart lock, or a quick recommendation for dinner or the 20-minute drive out to Pensacola Beach. Traveling with kids? Ask us anything about the playroom, pack 'n play, or beach toys. We're hands-off by design so you can relax in privacy, but never more than a message away if something comes up. Your comfort is our priority — reach out anytime, day or night, and consider us your on-call local hosts.

You'll be staying in East Hill, one of Pensacola's most sought-after, walkable neighborhoods-just ~5 minutes to downtown and about 20-25 minutes to the white sand of Pensacola Beach.

PARKS & OUTDOORS: East Hill is a haven for active families. The crown jewel is Bayview Park on Bayou Texar, a waterfront park with playgrounds, tennis and bocce courts, outdoor fitness equipment, kayak rentals, a boat launch, a dog park, and a "dog beach," plus pavilion shelters and scenic trails. Traveling with your pup? Dogs can play in the sand and water off-leash in the fenced area, and there's a hose to rinse off afterward, with picnic areas, a boat launch, playground and walking paths nearby. The city planners made sure there's a park within about every four blocks, so you're always a short walk from green space-great for strollers, bikes, and little legs. Lions Park and Lafayette Park add more playgrounds and ball fields.

EAT: The neighborhood is full of family favorites. East Hill Pizza is a go-to for a slice, with lunch specials, pizzas, calzones, salads, wings, and more. Reservoir, in the Old East Hill neighborhood, serves southern-inspired cuisine crafted from scratch-perfect for the whole family, even picky eaters. Calvert's in the Heights is an English pub-style eatery with a large backyard and patio with space for kids to play giant Connect 4 and corn hole, and nearby Scenic 90 Café serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a 1950s-style diner. Stroll to a local café or gelato shop for an afternoon treat.

DO & VISIT: A quick drive to downtown's Palafox corridor unlocks Historic Pensacola Village, the beautifully restored Saenger Theatre, and Cordova Mall for a full day of sightseeing and shopping. Catch a Pensacola Blue Wahoos game at the waterfront stadium, explore the hands-on children's museum and science center, and browse Saturday's Palafox Market.

WHY HERE: East Hill is a historic neighborhood known for its charming, well-preserved homes and picturesque streets lined with mature oak trees and azalea bushes-a scenic, friendly base that puts parks, dining, downtown, and the beach all within easy reach.

You'll have the entire single-level home to yourselves - no stairs, no shared spaces, no climbing. Pull right into the free corner driveway off E Scott St (room for up to 4 cars, plus space for a boat), or grab free street parking out front. No HOA, no passes, no hassle. Entry is through the private front door with a keyless Schlage smart lock, so there are no keys to juggle - your personal entry code and all check-in details are sent privately shortly before arrival. A lockbox at the side entrance serves as backup, and those details come in the same pre-arrival message. For your security and ours, please note there are Ring cameras at the front door and on the side of the house (exterior only - never inside). Everything you need, from the kitchen to the kids' playroom to the fenced backyard, is ready the moment you walk in.
