Our stay was wonderful! Beautiful location and accommodations! We traveled to Pensacola from: New Jersey, Texas and Mississippi ti gather together and bury my father’s ashes in the place where he was born! Staying at 427 Ft. Pickens Rd. Made our stay most enjoyable! Will stay here again. The unit could use a few large frying pans that are in better shape.

Great Condo, Amazing Location!!
by Brentwood TN
★★★★☆ 4 of 5
Overall Comment
Our stay in Pensacola was just glorious. The condo is in a great location and was very comfortable for a bigger group. Kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of beach chairs and toys in the garage. Being so close to the water is wonderful when you've got kids. Having a shower/hose under the deck was great. Really reduced the amount of sand we tracked in.
Just a few suggestions:
Several of the mattresses have seen better days.
The couches don't have much oomph left, even though they still look great.
A vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment would have been very helpful. We struggled to manage the sand with just the broom!
Overall, I would highly recommend this unit!

Thanksgiving on the beach

This is our second time renting this unit as a family. We loved the location but did encounter a few issues this time around. The master tub leaked into the living room when using the Jacuzzi feature. The property management was responsive and sent a plumber the same day to fix the issue. The lock on the master bedroom was broken - that was not resolved during our stay.
This doesn't reflect on this particular condo but three doors down the neighbors were flying a confederate flag with sayings on it that made my family highly uncomfortable. We will likely not return to this location because of this.

We spent 3 nights at White Sand 8. It was a great experience overall. My only complaint is the fact that the description said there was a sofa bed, but it was not there. The property company quickly responded with a blow up bed and linens. It was hard to find a spot for the blow up, however. Also, it would have been nice to have more towels and hand towels.

First time for our family to rent a vacation home online. The process was easy. The rental company was super nice! The townhouse was beautifully decorated and had EVERYTHING we needed to enjoy our weekend. We only had to purchase our food and drinks, beach towels, and a couple of beach floats.....and lots of sunscreen. Our family will definitely rent a vacation home through this company again.

We loved being right on the beach, the house had everything we needed to cook and prep for our comp. We had tons of space, and everything was in great condition. We loved sitting around the kitchen table laughing and playing games. We all loved having our morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the beach!

Annual Girls' Trip

Overall Comment
White Sands is a great place to stay. Our group (7 women in 50's) loves to hang out and cook. The townhouse had a great kitchen with everything we needed. Location is prime, down Fort Pickens road which gave us access to a good walking trail for long morning walks, and a less populated/quieter beach. Our unit was clean and the beds comfortable. Floors could have been swept a little better and den furniture showing signs of age and wear. But, overall unit in good condition and very comfy. Neighbors are close, given back porches all connect - separated only by railing. Great if you are renting multiple units for big families. Not so great for outside/deck privacy.

We rented this unit because it has a roll-in shower and elevator that can accommodate a paraplegic. We were very happy with our stay and would stay here again. Kitchen is well-stocked and, other than the main floor queen bed, bed linens were in good shape. The main floor bedroom pillows and linens need to be replaced. On a good note, the mattress is great!

The place was beautiful and a great location. My sister's wedding was right up the road at Margaritaville hotel, so it could not have worked out any better. The place was very clean. The showers were great, big enough for me and the would have been great had there been recycling. The beds were a little bit too soft for me. But otherwise could not have asked for a better vacation

Amazing Views, Perfect Location!
by Slidell LA
★★★★★ 5 of 5
Overall Comment
The location is amazing! Far enough from the big hotels that the beach isn't overly crowded, but still close enough to the pier to be convenient to dining, shopping, and other activities. The first floor garage with access on the beach side is awesome for storage of all your beach chairs/canopies/etc. An elevator makes bringing the heavier items up to the living area a breeze, and though we didn't need the handicap accessible features, the unit is obviously set up to accommodate wheelchairs.
Floor to ceiling windows make the unit very bright and really bring the outside in. The master suite has an amazing and unobstructed view of the Gulf with its own private balcony. The two other bedrooms on the third floor have a good view of the Sound.
The unit also has several "upgrades" with attention paid to details such as granite counter tops, tile backsplash and pot filler in the kitchen, fully tiled tub/showers surrounds, and tile and hardwood floors. It could use a new coat of paint or at least some touch ups on the interior due to visible wear and tear in several rooms, but that's really a minor detail.
The only downside is the deck which on a busy weekend when most of the units are occupied could be a little awkward since they are all open to each other and provide no privacy at all.
The rental company was very easy to deal with and has a very convenient location on the way to the unit. They even let us check in a few hours early since the unit wasn't rented the night before we arrived. All in all, this is a 5 star rental.

It was just as lovely as last year!! It's so wonderful to be able to look out at the beautiful ocean, watch the dolphins feeding & the birds swooping down to catch the fish, all while sitting on the deck.
The convenience of just a short walk across the dune, allows lots of freedom for the little ones.
The family is already counting down the days until next year!

My family and I have stayed at White Sands for many years although this was our first time in Unit 8. The elevator from the garage and main level walk-in shower were key for our seniors, as was the large gourmet kitchen since our sizable group loves to prepare meals together. You can't beat the view or direct beach access. We only had a few issues with this particular unit: the bunk room did not have anything but the bed in it - no storage for clothing other than a small closet with a few hangers, no shelves, drawers, side table, lamp, fan or even a mirror. I purchased my own baskets as to not have put clothes on the floor. The rest of the condo was so nicely appointed that this oversight was very surprising. There's a single thermostat for all of the upstairs which made it a challenge make each of the bedrooms comfortable. It would be helpful if there was seating of some type in the master bedrooms (for reading, seniors getting dressed, etc). We had a couple of maintenance issues that the property managers handled promptly and professionally. They graciously allowed us to have a late check out due to our flight time and having had the misfortune of staying during a week of horrendous storms. Nice touch and greatly appreciated! Overall, a very lovely and beautifully decorated condo that could be perfect with the minor additions mentioned.

The property we rented was absolutely gorgeous. Nicer than advertised. Despite lousy weather to be on the ocean and hear the waves meant the world to us! PBP rental agency could not have been nicer in accommodating us and helping me post stay. I made the mad mom mistake of double checking everyone else's room upon checkout and left a drawer full of important items of my own in the master bedroom. They graciously retrieved these items and had them back to me within the week! I will definitely rent from them again and hopefully within the white sands community. THANK YOU!!!!

Great family vacation!! Wonderful view of the ocean, the beach was steps from our deck and never crowded! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals(and then some). The bunk beds and double beds could have been more comfy(need new mattresses), but were bearable. The 2 car garage,elevator,huge pantry and full size W/D were a big plus! We enjoyed playing with the children and grands in the sand and the surf, while soaking up the sun/view!! We even found a starfish in the water the evening we arrived, as soon as we hit the beach!(I've been coming to Florida for 15 years and never seen a starfish) The Dolphins came by every morning while we had our coffee on the deck. The staff @ PBP were very friendly and helpful. I would love to come back here every year for my family vacation!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us for the week!!!

This was the first time we have tried a vacation at the beach together with my mom, my sister and her family and my family because my sister lives overseas. She wanted her children to experience the Gulf Coast beaches. Since my mother is disabled, we needed Gulf Front accommodations that were elder accessible and large enough for 5 teenagers to "have their space". We could not have been more pleased with White Sands 8. It was perfect. The elevator to the main floor and the bedroom and bath on that floor was a must and really made the beach possible for Mom. The 3-head shower in her bathroom was a slice of heaven. The rest of us had plenty of room to spread out, especially with the beach in easy site from the balcony. This unit had extras that just made it comfortable and homey, like games in the cabinet, floats in the garage and even a crockpot. The outside shower turned out to be a must-have. We even had wonderful, friendly year-round neighbors. Oh and there's the huge garage that easily fit a fullsize truck and an SUV with plenty of extra space. And yes, we did see dolphins and even had a fly-over by one of the Blue Angels. The Beach Properties staff was friendly and very efficient. The online process for pricing and booking was very convenient and helpful. If I had to recommend a change, I would suggest more seating in the living area and flat screens in bedrooms 3 and 4. We really all agreed that these accommodations were so perfect for us and PBP made the rental arrangements smooth as could be.
