Church St. - 27 Steps to Old Christ Church

CHURCH ST. COTTAGE is an intimate place tucked away on Historic Seville Square. We are committed to offering a private experience for guests. The Cottage, patio, and garden are yours exclusively - no shared spaces. Experience the best of downtown living with Church Street Cottage, located within easy walking distance of all the best restaurants, shops, museums, art galleries, and churches—plus quick and convenient access to the beach. Choose a book from the bin and grab a spot on the shady front porch of this historic 1880s Cottage between Seville Square and Old Christ Church. Later wander through the Historic Village across the street or take some time for yourself at the nearby Y for a yoga class, morning swim or visit the fitness center (Anytime Fitness included in stay). Then, head out for fresh oysters and dinner, followed by drinks at a bar on Downtown Pensacola's humming Palafox Street.

Exquisite Design: This is not your parent's summer cottage. It is recently renovated and newly furnished (by Blu Dot, Vondom and many other high-end designers) and is a place for many fantastic experiences—ideal for the executive who needs a private and open space or the professionals wanting creative workspaces. Get ready to sink into luxurious comfort with our low-profile sofas! Perfect for lounging in style, it is designed with first-quality materials and craftsmanship in mind. (If you have mobility issues or struggle with getting up from lower-height furniture, this sofa may not be the best fit for you.) A private bedroom separate from the living spaces makes the house a great place to entertain company.

Are you planning a wedding? Are the nuptials and reception in Downtown Pensacola at Old Christ Church, Seville Square, or in one of the historic village museums? Need a Bridal Space for showers, gatherings, or your Get Ready Place with an ideal location? An excellent vacation rental and holiday house or Cottage like Church Street may be your answer to do it all: Sleep in, have brunch, have a ball, get dressed and take photos.

The Cottage has plenty of outdoor space. Catch a bay breeze on the front porch rockers during the day, shaded by a large oak. Or take a break in the courtyard for an evening sip on your favorite beverage for a private and shady retreat overlooking the recently landscaped sculpture garden. Surrounding the front of the Cottage are Seville Orange Trees, known for their sour taste (excellent with beverages) and gnarly crepe myrtles that look like they have been there ages ago.

Extended Stay Travelers: Welcome, extended stay travelers! We encourage you to make our beautiful retreat your home away from home. As a special offer for extended stays, we provide discounted rates to make your trip even more affordable.
