This was our first stay in downtown Pensacola (we normally stay on the beach) and it did not disappoint! The Gadsden is perfectly located near downtown and all that it has to offer and having Maria's just steps away is an added bonus! The property was spotless when we arrived and well stocked with all we needed. We will surely be back for another stay!

Great little ‘hideaway’

Spent a wonderful week, very spacious for my husband and I. We lacked for nothing- full kitchen, large bedroom and living space. We loved the design and decor- great parking and close to everything and anything. Would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend. If Pensacola is your vacation destination…grab this one

The house was beautiful inside and out. Very rooming. Air conditioning was great! We cooked multiple meals with utensils and seasonings at the unit. There's a hair dryer there and I had forgotten one. I was very glad!! We will definitely book this property again. The property was very quite no issues with road noise. Maria seafood market was absolutely great. We eat there one night and purchased red snapper and gulf shrimp, cooked it that same night. Looking forward to are next trip to Pensacola.
