Gumbo Bungalow: Private Heated Pool w/ Swim-up Bar, Volleyball, Ping Pong

Gumbo Bungalow

Impeccably maintained & stocked with all the perks. This home sits on a large corner lot (130' x 105') adjacent to a 50' easement which offers great views & access to both Gulf & Sound. There is a sidewalk & boardwalk that deliver you the very short distance (approx. 100') to the emerald waters & sugary white sand of the Gulf.

Please note that the two levels of the home are not accessible with an interior stariway. You will find exterior stairways in both the front yard (driveway) and backyard (pool area) with doorways and easy access.
This setup does not work for all family dynamics, but we love it as it provides a separation of spaces, and places to escape, during a long comingling week at the beach.

The gathering area provides vinyl plank flooring, granite counters, plantation shutters, vaulted ceiling & a large flatscreen wall mount television. There is meal seating for 15 including both dining table & breakfast bar.

Stepping through the french doors from the family room onto the large balcony outside you are immediately wowed by the main attraction of this home. The large gunite saltwater pool allows enjoyment for all ages. There is a spacious 1' landing perfect for the toddles to play, two in pool staircases providing easy entry, bench seating as well as the swim-up bar provides multiple seating areas. Jump out of the pool and enjoy a game of volleyball or badminton on the grass court, or try your hand at horseshoes. Sunbathe on the pool deck, gaze out at the ocean views from the upper deck, or take shelter from the sun on the lower shaded patio which is great for hiding from the sun and playing in the sand with bucket and shovel in hand. This is also the spot to fire up the charcoal grill for the family cookout, which is adjacent to the homes additional recreation space with ping pong table.
. . . Simply amazing.

This house was just perfect for our family group. Between a very reasonable walking distance to the (surprisingly not very busy!) beach (think 2 house lengths) and the heated pool, our kids had a spring break to remember. The beds were great, couch was super comfy, the kitchen was stocked with enough plates, cups, silverware, the washer and dryer were great - just overall a fantastic house. We have already discussed renting it again! Beach toys and pool toys were a perk since we flew in. The downstairs rooms do have a smell, but it wasn't a bad smell that we couldn't get past. Maybe from getting wet at some point? It wasn't a dealbreaker for us. Loved the easy check in and check out list. Owner was great with communicating as well! 10/10 would recommend this house and yard for your family!

Definitely appreciated such a kind and accommodating host! We had 10 adults and 8 littles who loved the pool and family volleyball. Dinner was easily prepared with everything we needed from pots and pans to utensils and stocked cups and plates and glassware. Everyone was comfortable with the sleeping arrangements and there were plenty of extra bedding and clean fluffy pillows although we brought our own and did not need them. We had to do a quite a bit of cleaning, sweeping and wipe downs on both levels before the guest arrived but had everything we needed to do so. The beach was a very short stroll and quiet. The entire family loved everything our family stay! Thank you and will rent again.

The house worked well for our family. Eight adults and four kids. The pool design is fantastic. Easy access to the beach. The beach is great! The downstairs rooms are not as nice as the upstairs rooms, but hey when you’re accommodating a lot of people and kids, it’s fine. Appreciated greatly the pool toys and beach toys and chairs as we arrived by airplane. Towels provided are great. Beds are good.

House was good needs some tlc and security gate for pool we had small children and a gate on deck would have been great. Housekeeping could improve but not terrible needs maintenance repairs on small items but nothing that hindered our stay. There’s not much to do in the area so if you are looking for activities this area doesn’t offer much

Graduation Weekend

We had a great family weekend for UWF graduation. The pool was a highlight for the kiddos and very nicely heated to allow for cold weather swimming! Downstairs did need some airing out due to misty smell but did not affect the trip or ability to sleep. I would definitely stay again!

Great family getaway!

We travelled for a family beach vacation with our two young children, best friends, and their two young children. The house was spacious enough for our group of 6 adults and 4 children. The pool was the star of our stay. We enjoyed the shallow landing area for our toddlers and the adults enjoyed the swim up bar. Communication with our host was great and the check in/out process was easy.

We had a girls trip and this was the perfect house if you're looking for a fun relaxing beach vacation. We had to have a pool and the beach had to be close and this place was perfect! If I ever come back to Pensacola with a group, this will be the house I'd choose! Thank you so much! We had a wonderful time!
