Overall the condo was nice, it just needs some updating and a new mattress on the king bed in the master Bedroom, mattress was very hard and uncomfortable. Great location to the beach and restaurants etc. The balcony views of the Sound were amazing. Would stay there again if updates were made and mattress was replaced.
We loved our stay at this beautiful condo. The condo was clean and just perfect for a party of 4. We spent a lot of time at the beach which is a 5 minute walk and also at the pool. The pool is huge, very clean, and the perfect temperature. We would stay here again.
The view was amazing and the condo had everything we needed. Central to the beaches and restaurants. I absolutely loved this place and will definitely be coming back
Finding our room was a little confusing. But other than that the place was just as advertised. Location was great, beach right across the street and Peg Leg Pete's almost next door. Would definitely stay again.
Love the area.
Our favorite condo wasnât available. This condo and furnishings were dated, and terra cotta tile floors seemed dirty, but we were outside much of the time.
Felt very much at home in this one bedroom, 1.5 bath for our week stay. Connection to WiFi remained solid for the business day, which was a necessity. Sufficiently sized full kitchen allowed easy prep for all meals. One small thing: Bedroom window screen needs to be added With window treatments fixed. Such a clean place and loved the terra-cotta floors throughout! Nice dolphin viewing.
The location was perfect and the size and layout of the facility was perfect for two. The beach is only a short walk through the parking lot and then across the street. We also enjoyed being able to walk to Pegleg Peteâs for dinner. The condo entrance located on 5th floor was directly across from the elevator making it easy to bring our bags from the car.
Some updating is needed but didnât interfere with our enjoying our visit.
This cute, beachy condo was perfect for my 10 year-old, her friend, and myself! Every morning we ate breakfast on the balcony and watched the dolphins play in the bay. The location was convenient to Pensacola pier and Ft. Pickens. We could walk to Peg Leg Peteâs for dinner. The girls loved the pool, which stayed open until midnight. Management was available by phone 24-7 and very helpful when I couldnât figure out how to open the front door. Highly recommended!!!
Unit is clean but outdated. The bed was very uncomfortable. Actually slept on couch the last night. Couches were new and comfortable. View was beautiful but unit definitely needs upgrading. Could be a very pretty place.
Beautiful, well kept clean property. Only one complaint, there were several ants on kitchen counter by sink! We did not cook there, so our stay was not compromised. This needs to be addressed! Also could not sit on balcony because our table and chairs were wrapped up for painting!
needs a new shower curtain old one contains mildew /
screen to patio was torn in several places making it ineffective/
some bugs around other units on same floor had pets /
nice location as it is close to beach and a sidewalk good for walking
The good on this property is the view is beautiful. The condo is centrally located. The bad... The bed was hard as a rock the tag on the mattress is 2004 thats 18 years old. The couch is missing a cushion previous reviews stated this so why hasnt it been taken care of. The couch is as old as the mattress and so uncomfortable every day we drug our pillows out here to sit on them. Just so our backs wouldnt hurt as bad. The internet comes and goes , I was working from here for 3 weeks so it mattered. We did report all of this and Jessica our property manager stated she was trying to get furniture replaced but no go. She brought us a mattress topper and it made the last week of our 3 weeks a lot better. I cant say enough good about her. The ugly.. The kitchen cushion that they placed on the couch that kind of matches so you wont notice the real one missing.
First of all, I did not take the time to contact the office of Southern Property Management because most of my complaints are duplicates of those mentioned in past reviews. I did not want to deal with complaining to management and wasting my time knowing that nothing would be done. So Southern Properties please don't bother replying to me to say that is what I should have done because you haven't bothered to take care of these issues yet!
I cannot imagine that the owner of this property is aware of this situation or perhaps they don't care.
The cleaning company, well, they don't exist in my opinion. I'm sure this property does not meet Covid-19 Cleaning Protocols.
Refrigerator must be pushed on to keep closed
Verticals missing slats
Toilets not cleaned
Bathtub not cleaned
Floor absolutely filthy
Cigarette left on patio table.
We had planned to have our grandchildren stay overnight and it was such a disappointment for us. Once their mom saw the mattress on the sleeper sofa she immediately refused and of course we totally supported her.
Mattress On sleeper sofa covered in urine stains, ripped around the entire mattress exposing springs with staples sticking out. No one in their right mind would allow anyone to sleep in these conditions
Cushion missing on sofa.
Coffee pot had not been cleaned from previous tenant
Food left on sheet Pan in cabinet.
Dishwasher FULL of dishes upon arrival.
Frying Pan was missing the Teflon.
Roaches in kitchen .
Area rugs covered in stains.
This is the 2nd property we have stayed in managed by Southern Property Management /Southern Vacation Rentals it will be the last!

This was our first time on a white sand beach. We totally loved it. Of course, we thrilled ourselves hearing the sand whistling as we dragged our feet over the sand. An absolute wonder of Nature.
Check in was quick and easy with no difficulties. Entering the front door, condo was bright, vibrant and refreshing. A few things needed adjusting. Once we contacted Southern Vacation Rentals, Jessica stopped by to remedy everything so graciously in a very professional manner. Jessica also took time to visit with us and give us some tips and pointers of what to do in the area. Thank You Jessica.
During our two week stay, our mission was to Relax, Relax, and Relax. We accomplished all three. View is lovely from both front door and living room deck. Short 5 minute walk to the beach. Same 5 minute walk to a convenience store named Tom Thumb. If you need some grocery items and/or your favorite item to drink, they do have a fair selection. But one diamond close by is a super terrific restaurant/bar called Peg Leg Pete's. Awesome place and the people serving us were outstanding. A must go to place. Every day you go there, they are close to capacity with a 15 minute wait. But the wait is worth it. Oysters are terrific.
The strolls along the white sand beach are fantastic. Thus my title "Sand-tastic." Bring a bucket. The seashell gathering is limitless. The views of the sunset are spectacular. Along with the bird watching, there is never a dull moment.
Make sure you take the Fort Pickens Road (10 minute drive) to the west and visit the Historical Fort Pickens. If you have a Senior/Veteran Pass which will give you lifetime membership and free entrance to all National Parks, definitely a must see. Self tours using the QR code scanned by your cellphone for interpretations of selected areas. We spent two days touring the fort.
Not sure if we will revisit the Pensacola Beach area, but the time we spent on our first will definitely have a lasting memory of places we have visited.
No doubt, Sand-tastic.
Thanks Southern Vacation Rentals.

We liked the location being away from the congestion of the center of town. A convenience mart and a good restaurant in walking distance. Can not say enough about the size of pool and area surroundingâsuper. We had all in the kitchen unit that was convenient for any food prep. The bed was comfortable and ample room for two people. The ease of walking across the street for the beach was very nice. Pensacola Beach was extremely busy over the weekend, but to be expected. Plenty of restaurant choices and main âhub-bubâ kept clean. Santa Rosa Dunes condos is a clean, kept-up property
The condo was great and located in a great location across from the beach. No complaints about our stay and the condo itself.
However, this unit is on the 5th floor. When we got in the elevator with our luggage, we went up one and a half floors and the elevator got stuck. Luckily, the fire department was quick in getting us out. But still, 20 minutes in a box with no AC and no idea how long we would be waiting was not fun to say the least.
A neighbor who lives there year-round told us that this elevator fails quite often. So we took 5 flights of stairs every time we needed to go out. It was exhausting in 100 degree weather. That hurt our overall experience quite a lot.
Although I know it is not the responsibility of the unit's owner to keep the building's elevator maintained, such a frequent problem creates a bad experience anyway. Just be aware of this when you book, because you may want to think about whether you want to go up 5 flights of stairs with your luggage.
