HEART OF DOWNTOWN Palafox Place Sleeps 6, Perfect for small events

This classic building in the very heart of historic downtown was built in 1885 and was once home to a family owned music store with a dance hall upstairs. If the exposed brick walls, wood floors, and high ceilings could talk, oh what stories they would tell.

Four french doors lead onto the 40 ft. balcony overlooking PALAFOX Street, Pensacola‘s most famous street so named for 19th century General Jose de Palafox of Spain.

Walk out the front entrance and you’re on Palafox Place, the very heart of downtown’s vibrant entertainment, shopping & dining district.

Walk to over 40 restaurants from your doorstep. Here are just a few that you can walk to in just 5 minutes: World-class dining at Jackson’s, Global Grill, The District, Iron, Carmen’s, & Angelena’s. For a more casual fare try the Wine Bar on Palafox, Jaco’s, Urban Swinery, Seville Quarter, Graffiti Pizza, Taco Agave, O’Riley’s Irish Pub, Kohn’s Sushi, Union Public House, Dog House Deli & much more. For breakfast try Parlor Doughnuts, Dog House Deli, Fosko Coffee Bar, Blue Jay Bakery, Bodacious or the Ruby Slipper. Your sweet tooth can be satisfied by just walking downstairs to PeterBrooke Chocolatier located on the first floor of your building.

Attend a symphony concert, opera performance, or kick up your heels at one of the numerous entertainment venues. This apartment is located right next door to the iconic Saenger Theatre, a performing arts theater built in 1925 & known as the Grand Dame of Palafox.

Walk to the Pensacola Little Theater, T. T. Wentworth Museum, and art & music festivals. Is baseball your game? This gorgeous apartment is just a 12 minute walk to Community Maritime Park where you can watch Blue Wahoos, the AA affiliate of the Miami Marlins.

On Saturdays walk up to the Palafox market, a treasure trove of local arts and crafts, homegrown vegetables, farm raised meats, breads, cheese, coffees, furniture and much much more is open just 2 blocks north every Saturday from 8 AM until 2 PM rain or shine.

The sparkling white sand of Pensacola beach is just a short drive. You can also catch the Pensacola Bay ferry just four blocks south of the apartment. The ferry will take you to Pensacola beach where are you can spend the entire day at your leisure. The ferry times vary with the season, so be sure and check their schedule.

Perfect home base for wedding week!!
Could not have asked for a more perfect place to rent. Our son was getting married and wanted a place central to the Church and venue. We held a welcome cocktail party and the space was a big hit with everyone. Then the day of the wedding our son and groomsmen meet there for pictures and it was fantastic. Devan was an outstanding host went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We will definitely book again!!!

Son’s wedding
We rented this and the adjacent property for our son’s wedding. This property exceeded all our expectations. Allowed a meeting place for family and friends between wedding activities. This property made the entire wedding experience truly special. The family and friends that came by were all impressed and thankful for such a beautiful place to gather. Thank you to Ms. Dunlap for her generosity and guidance with the area. Thank you to the property manager for being kind and helpful during our stay. There are not enough words to express how this property helped make the entire wedding experience greater than we could have imagined.

Perfect location for Palafox Fun!
A group of friends from all over reunite in Pensacola once a year and this property fulfilled all of our needs! The space is perfect for entertaining and while we're more the lounging type than a wedding party would be, we had plenty of room to gather and catch up with our loved ones. The balcony provided a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the street view while the central location was a perfect home base for all of our eating, drinking, and shopping adventures. I will definitely book this loft again (or the one across the hall - both are fabulous!)

Cool property in desirable location
We were there for one of our son's wedding. We put up our other kids, their wives, my parents and bother between the two units. I was in this unit and it was wonderful. No issues, no complaints other than having difficulty finding the entrance from the parking lot. Deborah responded almost immediately to give me detailed instructions on where to go. Speaking of, she was super responsive to all requests and very helpful in all regards. Highly recommend.

Pure Pensacola!
We stayed in Deborah’s historic, beautifully renovated apartment for a much-anticipated wedding week in Pensacola. The location was nostalgic for us, as all 3 of my girls grew up in the Pensacola Children’s Chorus and performed at the Saenqer theater which is steps from the apartment. My daughter had the most perfect spot to get ready for her wedding, large and easily accommodating the bridesmaids’ getting ready process. The balcony trimmed with wrought iron overlooking Palafox was the ideal spot for her bridal portraits. The space was fabulously furnished, large and equipped for our every need. We can’t say enough about our stay! Thank you, thank you!!

We just finished up a 3 day stay at this amazing property in Pensacola. Historic charm meets modern amenities - with a truly unbeatable location. I can't recommend this property enough for families or groups. The common space is very spacious, allowing people to be together yet enjoy their own space. You are steps away from literally everything! The host was very helpful and easy to work with. One of those rare "perfect" properties for sure.

Great location and amazing amenities
Of all the vacation rentals we've tried in Pensacola, this one is by far the best. It is centrally located in downtown a short walk from great restaurants and shops. The balcony overlooking the downtown boutique and entertainment district is simply amazing. And the comfortable bedrooms are well away from the noise the district generates so you can sleep well. You can easily drive to all the best sights from the private parking area in the rear. We will be back.

The location speaks for itself, but in addition, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well prepped, the decor was gorgeous, and everything was very clean. We were worried the street noise might make it difficult to sleep, but the walls are well insulated and we slept great!

Palafox Palace
This was as good a VRBO experience as we have ever had. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms were large and comfortable and perfectly accommodated our immediate family. On top of that, the massive living/dining space was well equipped with more than everything we could have hoped for to entertain local friends and family for an afternoon Christmas gathering and dinner. And, of course, the location is as good as it gets for access to the revitalized downtown Palafox area. It was perfect for our Pensacola Christmas plans.
