About this property

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.

3 Bedroom only!

Listed as 5 br. Nope! Ur charged full price but the downstairs is bug infested damp no lights unsafe (doors not sturdy) unfinished GARAGE with yard sale beds. The bunk was so shaky the 4yo was scared it would collapse. No access to the house without going outside. Location excellent. Nice pool but heated by sun only. No reply from host except charging the card. Beware

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!

Comfortable and close to the beach!

Overall we enjoyed our stay, house was comfortable and clean, besides some issues with bedding but it got worked out. Property manager was easy to communicate with. The outside could use some TLC. But close to the beach, pool was fun and clean. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Family annual beach trip

We all enjoyed the property. Kitchen was nicely equipped. It just needed more dish rags and towels. And bathing towels and wash rags, as well. The guest that occupied the downstairs bedrooms were a little inconvenienced with not having stairs inside. They had to go outside, rain or shine to get to their bedrooms.

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!

Perfection!

We are so excited about our stay at the Gumbo Bungalow - it was everything we hoped it would be and then some! Location is perfect. Pool was lovely and warm. Kitchen was very well appointed with quality pots and pans and equipment. The towels were thick and Lucious. Beach towels were plentiful and thick Outdoor furniture was awesome. Obvious that the place is being cared for. Stephany was quick to respond to my messages. Washer and dryer handled everything from tiny loads to extra large loads of beach towels. Highly recommend staying here - perfect for the teenagers we had with us to have some space to call their own yet be upstairs for breakfast lunch and dinner together. Bonus! Super Delta Flyover directly over our pool on Wednesday! It was a wonderful week of family fun. Thank you!

The layout of the house was very convenient and nice. The pool and outside area was also very nice, but due to cold weather we were unable to use the pool. It's convenient to get to the beach. The only drawback was the fact that the house was dirty and had a strong mildew smell.

Great Pool & Location, property needs TLC

Overall it was a decent stay considering the price. The heated pool was fantastic and the location to public beach access was great. Very short easy walk to the beach even with kids and beach bags. The neighborhood was fairly quiet and felt safe. The house has taken a bit of wear and tear over the years and does need some TLC and a deep clean. Pictures of the property are dated. Aslo we did not realize the bedrooms on the lower level can only be accessed from outside, so we had to rethink our sleeping arrangements with the younger children but in the end it worked out for our 3 families each with one kid.

Spring Break

Overall impression is it certainly served the needs of two families. Pool was a hit. Poolside and deck was also nice and sunny. Ping pong, pool volleyball and horseshoes was popular. Master bedroom had no remote to tv. Yard volleyball net should be redone. Didn’t bother using. Definitely upkeep, but we all enjoyed ourselves!!

Start with the good- great location, super quiet! Great communication with owner! The pool was great and plenty of outdoor seating for a large group. Property needs some serious TLC. Steps out to beach walk are falling apart and are a serious trip hazard for kids/ older adults. The wood is actually coming off the steps. Tried to use the pans to cook but everything just burns to the bottom and took forever to clean. The kids rooms have no access to the main living without going outside. Bath tub in one of the bathrooms was SO LOUD we thought we would break through the floor. Two of the beds (one king and another queen) squeak so loud whenever you turn over, it woke everyone in the bed up. Ok property if your main thing is pool/outdoor seating! Will say again, the owner had great communication. Just need to put a little time and updates in the house and it would be great!

Property needs a lot of TLC. Things that you should know… 1. Toaster only toasts one side of bread. 2. Downstairs inaccessible from top portion, you must go outside to access. 3.Paint on exterior peeling, boards to walk way to beach dangerous and loose. 4. Multiple areas of missing fencing. 5. No cleaning supplies on site like windex or surface cleaners at all with a glass large kitchen table. Overall just felt very run down. I would not rent the place again. Pool was wonderful for the kids and beach was close. A few $ invested could make a huge day

Nice, but could use updates.

Overall I would stay here again. But there were a few pretty big issues. Let me start off with the positives. The location was excellent. You were just a short walk from the beach and a few min drive from shopping and restaurants. The pool was amazing. I really liked how private the place felt.The neighborhood was super quiet. The upstairs was nicely laid out and had plenty of space for our families to hang out. The house definitely needs some upkeep. The pictures do not reflect the house in any capacity. Just a little paint would go a huge way with this place. We booked this house with the intention of having 12 people. Thankfully 3 bailed last min so we had a total of 5 adults and 4 kids. This made a huge difference in our stay because the 2 bedrooms downstairs were not usable. They smelled of mold terribly and had a lot of bugs. It is also worth noting that the downstairs is not accessible to the upstairs without going outside. We found the downstairs bathroom convenient as a pool bathroom though. They also had a black rubber mat in front of the backdoor that got SUPER hot during the day. More than one person burned their feet on it, forgetting to put shoes on after getting out of the pool. There was no green grass or sandbox either. Despite these problems I would stay here again if only needing a 3 bedroom place with 2 king beds, one queen and a rollaway bed. I just really wish they would update their pictures. It left me feeling very hoodwinked.

About the host

Hosted by Stephany Smith

Host profile image
Gumbo Bungalow is more than a vacation rental as it is our vacation home! We want families to build memories during their trips to Pensacola Beach and Gumbo Bungalow. This is why our commitment matches that which we want our own vacation experience to be and our goal is to make Gumbo Bungalow THE vacation spot. We are always a text or phone call away.

Why they chose this property

Gumbo Bungalow is the perfect mix of Beach Life and quiet neighborhood that is simply hard to find along the Gulf of Mexico and it's amazing beaches. No busy hotel or hi-rise condo traffic along this stretch of beach. And Gumbo Bungalow is adjacent to a public easement allowing such easy access directly to the beach and over the sand dune that isn't found many places along Pensacola Beach.

What makes this property unique

An amazing backyard of family activities for those of all ages. A large gunite saltwater pool with toddler area, bench seating along the edges and the same depth at both ends provides the perfect opportunity for a game of volleyball the entire family can enjoy. The horseshoes alley as well as a grass Volleyball/Badminton court provide entertainment for the teens. There are decks to lounge and view the ocean, those around the pool for basking in the sun, and a lower patio for the ages who wish to hide from those bright Florida rays. On the patio is a recreation area with Ping Pong table and a variety of sand and pool toys. You will be amazed at how often you actually forget to make that easy jaunt to the beach because of all the fun to be had at the house. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE DO NOT CHARGE EXTRA TO HEAT THE POOL, BUT WE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO HEAT THE POOL DURING JANUARY & FEBRUARY.
