The carriage house is even better than the pictures. We had an amazing stay, from swimming to fishing on the dock we couldnât have picked a better vacation house. We loved it and will be back. Nathan is a great host.
This place was amazing. The carriage house was beautiful and the pool and scenery were amazing! I highly recommend staying here and Nathan was very responsive. Loved it!
Great quiet piece of property. We enjoyed fishing in the bay and sunbathing by the pool! The only negative was the pool was freezing, donât think they have a heater.
As a frequent traveler and property manager, I had high expectations for my stay. Unfortunately, several issues detracted from the experience.Day 1 Arrival:The owner's dogs barked excessively and entered the carriage house, disrupting our stay. Unattended maintenance issues included the removal of the Amazon Fire TV and inadequate cookware for the induction stove, which took over 15 minutes to boil water. With only one bathroom, coordination was challenging. The kitchen cabinets are placed very highâa design flaw that makes them inaccessible without a ladder. The upper bunk beds aren't suitable for anyone over 6 feet tall, making them more appropriate for one adult couple and a child over 7 years.Cleanliness Issues:Garbage was left around the property, and I had to clean up items from previous guests, including life preservers and crab skeletons in the kayaks. Given the 100 cleaning fee, I expected a higher standard. The charcoal grill was in poor condition; a gas grill would have been more convenient.Day 2 Observations:Parking was tight due to the landlord's belongings. The deck needs power washing, and the boardwalk lacks a handrail, posing safety risks for elderly or unstable individuals.Day 3:Late check-out was denied despite our courtesy cleaning. The double doors do not lock, posing a security risk. The landlordâs presence affected our privacy due to constant barking from the dogs.While the property has potential, it requires significant improvements
Property was just as listed. We had a great stay. Very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed a couple of days at pensacola beach and a ride into the cute yown of Milton. I could see our whole family renting the entire property.
Highly recommend.
Visiting our son in the Air Force and his family. Enjoyed the pool and the private dock that leads to a beach on the backwater. Beautiful and peaceful- host is great! Our second stay in a year.
Wonderful Stay at the Carriage House at Rainbowland
This property is beautiful. It is on the Bay and we enjoyed gorgeous sunsets and sunrises in the company of dolphins! We enjoyed fishing and swimming. It was a lovely place to relax and unwind and spend time as a family. Highly recommend!
Great quiet place âaway from it allâ. Yet still close enough to run into Milton, or adventure to Pensacola, Fort Pickens, and beautiful beaches. The couple very minor issues we had were attended to very promptly and professionally(issues happen, itâs how a host handles them that really matter)! We would definitely consider returning and we all loved the pool!
We loved the place and hope to stay again! The walks on the beach and the pool was our families favorite things. Also, close to beaches and restaurants but away enough for peace.
This property is truly amazing!!! It is nestled at the end of a private drive, with incredible bay views, and feels secluded. The finishes were very nice and the amenities were even better. My kids enjoyed swimming in the pool and catching fish from the dock. The host is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Stop looking and book this place now!
Loved our stay in Milton. Quality amenities, beautiful scenery, and perfect location. The quiet in the evenings was perfect after noisy beaches and boardwalks. Family will be happy to return!
I had been planning our family vacation for almost a year, so to say I was nervous about how it would end up was an understatement. Nathan and Rainbowland exceeded my expectation ten-fold, and it will forever be one of my favorite vacations. It is 30 minutes to and hour (depending on traffic and where you go exactly) to the beaches which is perfect. It is enough "off the grid" to feel private but only about 7-10 minutes from a gas station, food, bait shop, etc. The property and house was immaculate, and Nathan responded very promptly to the few little requests we had to make that wasn't already thought of and taken care of beforehand. We fished off the dock every day and caught multiple different types, swam to our hearts content, and relaxed. The ONLY con if you can call it that is having to share the dock and pool with the plantation house guests. The dock has a long runway and is pretty decently sized so that shouldn't be a problem, but if you don't like having to share a pool with other people than that would be the only thing you'd need to reconsider if wanting to stay here. If you don't mind that though, it is PERFECT and you won't regret it!!
We rented to the main house & the carriage house so we had the property all to ourselves. The pictures make the place look amazing but in person it is even better. Nathan the owner was great to work with. We booked and were planning our daughters wedding for about 8 months & he was super helpful & quickly responded.
We hosted our daughters wedding on the property & it was just fantastic!
Pros: The house is very large & clean. Beds & bedding are comfortable. Plenty of bathrooms & indoor hanging out & living space. The kitchen & butlers pantry have all things you may need while you stay on property & a both very large. The outdoor space & grounds are well kept & have plenty of sitting & hanging out options. There are many little nooks around the property to have a nice quiet cup of coffee or wine while taking in beautiful views. The property has two cats & a dog that must live there part of the time. We are animals lovers so we had the best time with them.
Cons: There was some miscommunication with the grounds keeper on the trash & we ended up having to pay an extra fee. We would have taken care of the trash while there if it had not been communicated to us not to worry about it. The trees on the deck were a little overgrown but we asked the property owner if we could trim them & he said yes. Problem solved.
We left behind 4 metal drink tubs we did not have room for when returning home. Hope future renters enjoy them. Do not keep looking, book this place!
I was so excited to stay here. I envisioned walking down that long, curvy pier to the end each day to watch the sunset, rocking in those rocking chairs cooled by the ceiling fans and reading a good book, sunning by the pool at night in the beautifully lit pool, watching all the different types of birds with the thoughtfully provided binoculars, and generally enjoying all the peace and quiet.
But sadly most of that was not to be. Just before this reservation I fractured my tailbone in 2 places, so getting around was quite painful. I ended up mostly staying inside, in the comfy bed on my heating pad! Nathan was so helpful in bringing my things up the stairs to the apartment (including 2 cats). I had to order a walker to help me get around without falling. When they brought it upstairs they had even put it together for me.
So it wasn't quite the trip I thought it would be, but my 2 weeks there was what I needed. Couldn't ask for a nicer place or host. I highly recommend it. I will definitely go again.
