Chic Coastal Stay with Spa Bath & Fire Pit | Historic Church 1928 by AvantStay

Welcome to Historic Church 1928 by AvantStay!

Step into a piece of Pensacola’s history—beautifully reimagined for modern comfort. Once a 1920s church, this light-blue retreat has been lovingly restored into a one-of-a-kind getaway where timeless charm meets chic coastal style. Located just minutes from downtown Pensacola and a short drive to the sugar-white sands of Pensacola Beach, it’s the perfect blend of heritage, culture, and coastal ease.

Inside, airy interiors glow with natural light and sparkling crystal fixtures that nod to the home’s elegant past. The open living area offers space to unwind, featuring plush seating, a large smart TV, and a laptop-friendly workspace for guests seeking a comfortable balance of work and relaxation. The modern kitchen—complete with stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, and seating for four at the island—makes every meal a pleasure to prepare and share.

The serene primary bedroom invites restful nights with its queen bed and soft linens, while the ensuite bathroom feels like a private spa retreat. Unwind in the luxurious soaking jacuzzi tub beneath a rainbow shower, surrounded by shimmering sea glass tile that evokes a coastal calm. After your soak, enjoy the modern bidet and elegant fixtures for a truly elevated experience. Two sleeper sofas in the living room provide flexible space for families or small groups, ensuring everyone has room to rest and recharge.

Outdoors, your private patio sets the stage for connection and calm. Gather around the fire pit, play yard games in the sunshine, or fire up the grill for an alfresco meal under the stars.
