Living in Paradise (Without the Clutter): The Insider’s Guide to Self Storage in Pensacola

By Nicolas Rincon

Pensacola is more than just a city; it’s a lifestyle. Whether you are stationed at NAS Pensacola, attending classes at UWF, or just lucky enough to call the Emerald Coast home, living here means enjoying the sun, the water, and the history.

But let’s be honest: living in paradise often comes with a shortage of space.

Between the military gear, the beach cruisers, the fishing kayaks, and the holiday decorations that melt in the attic, finding room for your life can be a challenge. That is why MyPlace Self Storage has established two strategic locations in the heart of Pensacola to help you take back your garage—and your weekends.

The “Humidity Factor”: Why Climate Control is Non-Negotiable Here

If you have lived in Pensacola for more than a week, you know the humidity is real. While we love the tropical vibe, your leather furniture, electronics, and family photo albums do not.

Storing items in a standard garage or attic in zip code 32505 or 32503 exposes them to extreme heat and moisture, which can lead to warping, cracking, and mildew.

Both of our Pensacola facilities feature Climate-Controlled Storage. Think of these units as a “spare bedroom” for your stuff. They maintain a consistent temperature year-round, ensuring that when you retrieve your wooden dining set or your winter wardrobe, it looks exactly the same as the day you packed it.

Location 1: Serving West Pensacola & The Military Community

???? 2285 West Navy Boulevard

Located just minutes from Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola and Corry Station, our West Navy Blvd location is a favorite for military families. We know that PCS orders often come with tight timelines and logistical headaches.

Whether you are deploying and need a secure spot for your vehicle, or you are moving into base housing and need extra room for your non-essentials, this facility is built for you.

  • Drive-Up Access: Pull your truck right up to the door. No elevators, no long hallways. Just unload and go.
  • Boat & RV Parking: Don’t let your HOA in Bellview or Warrington fine you for parking your boat in the driveway. We offer secure, uncovered parking spaces perfect for your weekend toys.

What our neighbors are saying: “This is the Best #1 place for storage! Extremely customer oriented, staff makes you feel like family. Conveniently located, very secure and very clean and reasonable pricing.”Charles, Pensacola Resident

If you are a student moving home for the summer or a business owner on Palafox needing inventory space, this location offers the flexibility you need. It is central, accessible, and designed to make your errands easier.

  • 5×5 Units: Perfect for dorm room overflow, seasonal decor, or file boxes.
  • 10×10 Units: Ideal for the contents of a one-bedroom apartment or a furniture set during a remodel.
  • 10×20 Units: Great for a whole-home move or storing a vehicle.
  • Parking Spaces: Designated spots for your RV, camper, or boat trailer.
