The condo was exactly as the pictures depicted it! The views from the wraparound balcony were amazing. The condo had everything we needed for the week. We have decided that we are going to try to reserve this same condo every time we come to Pensacola.
Tristan Tower 9B with its wrap around balcony was living the good life. The view alone is worth every penny. Kitchen fully equipped, washer/dryer in great condition. Great TV options in Living room and Master, second bedroom only got a couple of channels, but we werenât there to watch tv. Easy check-in easy checkout. Plan to return!
We have stayed at Tristian Towers previously and returned because of the beautiful view. The only reason I would not recommend this unit is the horrible beds. I wonder why after many mentions of this they donât feel the need to replace them.

Nice location, great pool, wonderful view. Unit lacked basic amenities: laundry soap, decent glasses, bowls, etc. Nice sheets, update furniture.

Great views from this unit! Have to admit the unit is "old and tired" looking. It was relatively clean; we did have to wash dishes before using them. This unit needs a good paint job and some updating. The bathrooms are in need of clean, shower doors and the master is in need of losing the salon doors; not much privacy... The walk to the beach was an easy one. Really enjoyed the quietness of the location and the beauty of nearby Ft. Pickens. I would probably not be a returning guest to this unit.
Too old amenities and not helpful management to resolve issue
Bad:
Amenities are too old especially main bed which is collapsed on the center of the bed by old springs so I could not sleep on the bed but used couch. Shower glass door is almost out of sliding track so definitely need to be maintained to prevent hazardous issue. I had late check-in (1.5 hrs late) due to cleaning have not been done on time. I also have wifi router issue and reported it to the maintenance but not supported by their service team and I fixed myself after figured out myself what was wrong.
Good:
Good view. Spacious. Fast internet.. Fast elevator. Close to beach. Amenities are old but fully equipped.
The master bed is absolutely terrible. There are no slats on the frame and the mattress sags terribly. This is a known issue (see previous reviews) and easy fix but nothing done about it. The A/C vent above the master bed rattles when on. Ceiling fan in living room didnât work. A/C vents are filthy. The condo is outdated. The reason there is no pic to the master bathroom is because there is no door! The best thing about this condo is the view from the wraparound porch. The condo is on the bay side but you can see the gulf.
As others have said the view can't be beat. The last review I read was June 2022 and I can say the furniture has been replaced, the beds were comfortable and the living room furniture was fine. I do wish there was more seating on the balcony. It is very outdated, but that didn't bother us. Leading up to our arrival the responses to my questions were within a couple hours. However, in the 30 minute window where I was supposed to receive all of the codes and was sitting outside the gate, no one was answering. They had told me to call if I was early, which is impossible and no matter what selection I chose it went to voicemail and I never received a call back, glad I didn't have an emergency! I received most of the codes 5 minutes before and the actual door code a little after our check in time as we were standing outside the door trying to figure out which one it was. I decided to not try and contact them again during our stay. I did ask about recycling, but didn't receive a response, and figured they just didn't which was disappointing. I did not appreciate all the emails asking about real estate, even after I said no to the first one. Not sure if I would stay again, but that view may call us back!
Let me start by saying that the condo was very clean and well prepared by the property manager with what they have to work with. The condo is dated and needs a renovation. The ceiling in the master bath was coming down and there was no door separating the toilet from anything. It was at the end of a long hallway from the bedroom right next to the shower. The only kind of privacy if you could call it that were 2 saloon style doors on a half wall. The bed in the master was a queen size and very uncomfortable. I donât want to bad mouth the property because it wasnât bad at all. We had a very nice vacation. With some elbow grease and some updates it could be a very nice condo. There were a lot of little things that didnât work or needed work.
The best part of the condo was the view from the wrap around balcony. The unit furnishings were old and worn. A cabinet door had to be held shut with a chair. That chair had a split in two back. The swivel chair in the lr was so worn it was peeling. The unit is in need of a major overhaul. The tv in the 2nd bedroom had a screen about 12 inches. Work was being done on the exterior, which we were not informed of. We lost use of our balcony 2 days while they worked, being loud with music, singing and laughing. THE A/c went out one night. Once notified, it was taken care of in good time. Again, the views were the highlight of our stay. If the unit is given tlc it would be amazing. Management was very responsive to any issues that came up.
This place was awesome overall. The only complaints were the internet being down from check-in on Saturday until Tuesday evening and the construction going on in the building.
Master bed definitely needs to be replaced to a king. Also, WiFi must get fixed. Very annoying that didnât work. Need high top chairs and table for deck.
I wish this place has better furniture, especially beds. Double bed in master room matress is old and very uncomfotable, my in laws has the worse time sleeping there. The sofa-bed in living room its old and doesnt open ot close property to the point maintanence provide us with an air matress. Wifi doesnt work properly, maintanence people came in and couldnt make it work either, they call the provider to come and unfortunanelly they could only come the day before we were leaving. this made my work very hard.
I will definately like to rent this place again but only if they upgrade the beds and sleeping sofa, otherwise no, which is a shame because the view is awesome :(
We had a great time!! Very close to the beach and nice big pool. The condo needs upgrades like new beds and better pots and pans otherwise it was a must stay and would recommend it to anyone
