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.

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.

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

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.

The upstairs and pool area were fantastic, which made the rest of the experience very disappointing. The downstairs was unacceptable — there was visible mold and roaches, making it unlivable. Because of this, half of our group had to book a hotel room.We contacted the owner about these issues. He later stated that he did receive the message the day before, but there was no response at the time and no offer of compensation.The following day, we also had no hot water. We were told someone would arrive to fix it by 5 PM, but we were in town for a wedding and all 13 of us needed to shower and be ready by 4 PM.Due to the condition of the property, lack of timely communication, and no compensation offered, this stay did not meet expectations.

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!

Camp Benvenutti

The kids loved the pool, once I got it cooled down. It’s directly in the sun and has to have some kind of shade sail and fountains to cool it down. Very inexpensive to to install, This allowed us to enjoy the big pool with all of the kids. Great location, right on the sidewalk to the beach and all of our family members, that we’re staying at the fancy houses on the beach front. We loved the vibe. Needs a through deep cleaning, not a deal breaker. Great memories were made.

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.
