HEART OF DOWNTOWN Palafox Loft, sleeps 6

This one-of-a-kind designer apartment is in the very heart of historic downtown, and our #1 goal is to make sure guests have the best possible experience. It’s sparkling clean and ready for you.

This apartment is great for reunions, best friend's gatherings, or romantic weekends. Guests have also booked my VRBO 1727332 right across the foyer for celebration dinners, cocktail parties, and weddings. Need more space? Rent both VRBO 1670292 and 1727332 for your whole family.
This classic building was built in 1885 and was once home to by a family-owned music store with a dance hall upstairs. If the exposed brick walls, wood floors, and high ceilings could talk, oh what stories they would tell.
Walk out the front entrance of the building and you’re on Palafox Place, the very heart of downtown’s vibrant entertainment, shopping & dining district.

Walk to over 40 restaurants from your doorstep. Here are just a few that you can walk to in just 5 minutes: Indulge yourself in world-class dining at Jackson’s, Global Grill, The District, Iron, or Angelena’s Italian. For a more casual fare try the Wine Bar on Palafox, Jaco’s, Big Top Brewery, Urban Swinery, Seville Quarter, Carmen’s, Graffiti Pizza, Taco Agave, O’Riley’s Irish Pub, Kohn’s Sushi, Bar Steak, Union Public House, Dog House Deli & much more. For breakfast try the Dog House Deli, Fosko Coffee Bar, Blue Jay Bakery, Bodacious or the Ruby Slipper.

Attend a symphony concert, opera performance, or kick up your heels at one of the numerous entertainment venues. Loft #4 is located right next door to the iconic Saenger Theatre, a performing arts theater built in 1925 & known as the Grand Dame of Palafox.

Walk to the Pensacola Little Theater, T. T. Wentworth Museum, and art & music festivals. Is baseball your game? This gorgeous apartment is just a 12 minute walk to Community Maritime Park where you can watch Blue Wahoos, the AA affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.

On Saturdays, rain or shine, walk up to the Palafox market, a treasure trove of local arts and crafts, homegrown vegetables, farm raised meats, breads, cheese, coffees, furniture and much much more is open just 2 blocks north of this apartment. Every Saturday ( rain or shine ) from 8 AM until 2 PM.

The sparkling white sand of Pensacola beach is just a 15 minute drive or you can catch the Pensacola Bay ferry just four blocks south of the apartment. The ferry will take you to Pensacola beach where are you can spend the entire day at your leisure. The ferry times vary with the season, so be sure and check their schedule.

Great place to stay

We came for nieces wedding. Owners were great to work with. Very clean and comfortable. Many restaurants and stores to visits - all in walking distance. We loved the history of the place and the balconies to sit on and just relax. Hopefully we will be back soon and this is the place we will come back to.

We have stayed here multiple times before and look forward to coming back. Ms. Debby and her family are very welcoming and helpful. The apartment is awesome and in the historic downtown. You are only feet from Palafox where all the restaurants and a few blocks from Seville Quarter. I highly recommend!

Great spot. Just know that the balcony faces the parking lot, not downtown Palafox St. The place is very nice and it has plenty of room. The dumb waiter was nice to have as you took your belongings up stairs. The host was great.

Great Loft

This was a very homey, nice and centrally located loft. My daughter was having her wedding and me, my spouse, my mother and mother in law all stayed here. It was unusually cold for Fl so the first couple of nights were pretty chilly inside. Nicely decorated and comfortable. Walkable to everything we needed. Some confusion on how to enter the loft. I would say to enter the courtyard to the left of Pembroke if you are on the backside. We could not find an iron or ironing board but one of us had.A steamer so it was not an issue. My mom described it as peaceful. Great property.

Excellent Host and Property!

Stayed at the Palafox St. loft again this past weekend. Excellent property - location is unbeatable and the furnishings are fabulous. There is an approximate 40ft balcony that puts you right in the action of all that is going on downtown. With private off-street parking, you never have to worry about where you are going to park! I had a snafu on my arrival dates, and Deborah was able to work a miracle to accommodate us with the cleaning team. She is a top notch communicator and makes the VRBO experience easy. Can't recommend enough!

Son’s wedding

We were in Pensacola celebrating our son’s wedding. This property and the adjoining property helped make the entire wedding experience off the charts. Ms. Dunlap was gracious to allow us to rent both properties and was a huge help guiding us with ideas on rehearsal dinner location, baker, etc. my wife and I along with our mothers stayed in this property and we could not have been happier. Could write 1000 words to express our how this property made the entire experience off the charts. Thank you to Ms. Dunlap and the property manager for all your efforts making our son’s wedding weekend memorable.

History, Food & Relaxation

The building itself is historic. The apartment is wonderful. The entire area is a safe place to be. Walk out the front gate and everything you would/could want to have for breakfast/lunch/dinner is just a short walk in either direction on Palafox. The Fish House, Jocko's, and Nick's Boathouse are incredible seafood restaurants within walking distance. Foskos is the perfect coffee and breakfast place. And, if you get a sweet tooth, just walk out the front, turn right, and Peterbrooke Chocolates is right next door. If you want to have a cocktail, there are places within 20 yards out the front gate. All on Palafox. We absolutely loved this VRBO. Deborah and Devan are fantastic hosts. You will not be disappointed.

Pictures/words don't do it justice

I was actually surprised at just how beautiful the apartment was. An historian is the owner and we enjoyed looking through the coffee table books full of historical pictures and stories of Pensacola, which she authored! My husband walked down to Palafox daily while the streets were still empty (but the coffee shops were open). What have-to-be-Five-Star restaurants are within a block or two (Angelina's!). We loved the dual entry/exit which allowed us to walk down to our car in the small private (gated) parking lot at the back or right down to Palafox at the front. If you're someone who has security concerns, you might like knowing that both entrances are secured by gates with keypad. We couldn't decide between this apartment and the one that shares the foyer with it. I think the other is bigger (we didn't need more space) and has a balcony overlooking Palafox. We decided we liked this one! The balcony overlooks the back side of the building/parking lot/street beyond. It was totally private. We could go out in PJs with coffee (and pastries my husband brought back from his morning walk). Google told me that the Floridian cities of St. Augustine and Pensacola engage in a (mostly) good-natured debate over which is the oldest European community in the continental United States. I had no idea! Just looking to get away, but I felt like I got to step back in time! Loved everything (and I'm a tough customer)! The beds were comfy, and all the rooms were spacious and beautiful!

July 4th trip

We stayed for a few days over the 4th weekend. The location is great if you are looking for downtown. A quick walk to everything and gated parking was perfect for the busy area during the 4th. The accommodations were just as described and actually even nicer than the pictures. The building is very cool with old brick walls and balcony for sitting out. I would certainly book this again if I find myself in Pensacola again. The host was also very responsive to the few questions I had asked. Thanks for a great place to spend my time in Pensacola.
