Candy's Cottage — a charming white craftsman bungalow in East Hill, Pensacola
Welcome

Your home away from home in East Hill

Tucked into a quiet, tree-lined street in East Hill — one of Pensacola's most charming and sought-after historic neighborhoods — Candy's Cottage is a beautifully restored craftsman bungalow with classic front porch, stately old oaks, and the kind of sidewalk-strolling, wave-to-the-neighbors feel that's hard to find anywhere else.

You're just two blocks from the grocery store and a short, shady walk to the East Hill Wine Bar, local cafés, and boutique shops. The cottage sleeps up to 4 guests and welcomes your furry family members too. Cook a slow breakfast in the full kitchen, sip coffee on the porch, and wrap up your day with a glass of wine just around the corner. Beach days, downtown dinners, and peaceful mornings — it's all within reach.
