Time to Kill Before Check-In?

Time to Kill Before Check-In?

If you are flying in or out of Pensacola and have time to wait before you head to Tiki House or the airport, there a so many things to do. Right next to the Pensacola International Airport is Cordova Mall. A great place to pick up a last minute souvenir, forgotten clothing, or any specialty item you may have forgotten.

Using the Weather for Perfect Photos at the Beach

We love Pensacola Beach in all weather! Sometimes the best time to hit the beach is when the weather is less than conventionally ideal. Rain, fog, storms or just clouds can be beautiful. We get so many sunny, clear days that it is special when the we get perfect but foggy weather. The waves take on a different hue and the light is diffused enough to make pictures and filming easy.

The local newspaper is a great way to keep up with Pensacola Beach local events and news. Sign-up to get it delivered to your email or just check back periodically. When you rent a vacation rental, you are part of the community. At least for a while! After all, this is where Tiki House goes for news too!

Essential Savvy Travel Tip: Before you book an Airbnb /vacation rental, research the local laws governing short term vacation rentals at your destination. The big listing websites like Airbnb, Vrbo, Expedia, Tripadvisor, Booking.com, and other travel search engines DO NOT require their listings to prove legality or permits before allowing a Host to list their property!
