The Red Door is a fantastic Vrbo. We park the car in the driveway and walk everywhere - to downtown, the waterfront, numerous local restaurants with a variety of price points, museums, etc. Besides location, the amenities are top notch. The kitchen is well-equipped, linens are plentiful, living room seating is comfortable. It’s a wonderful choice.

The Red Door was a great place to stay in Downtown Pensacola. The property manager, Gloria, was responsive, helpful, and very pleasant. The location was great and very walkable to nearby restaurants, parks, and shops. The 150 year old home has lots of charm compared to many of the newer rentals downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this home, manager, and owners.

RED door “Hawkins house” circa 1880, is the finest in town craftsman, bungalow house we’ve ever stayed in. Our son attends UWF - 15 min away from this house: it was perfect. two blocks to the bay, walk in the parks, five minute walk downtown, 10 minute walk to the wahoo stadium; walkable restaurants, one minute away, sushi, pubs, local Mexican & live music, one minute away. This place is amazing : took a 3 hour boat ride over at Pensacola beach; Centrally located & definitely will be back - loved our three day getaway, vacationing from the forgotten coast of Florida.

Exceeded our expectations!

This historic home, and in particular its location, exceeded our expectations. We’ve been coming to Pensacola for 20 years, but never stayed in the downtown area. We were able to walk to endless food options and the bustle of downtown. We live in a historic home, so we’re partial to that kind of charm… but this home is beautiful and clean and roomy and cozy.
