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.
