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.

The family area is accented by bamboo 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.

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

Great Vaca!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We had a few minor set backs with the air, but Stephany was awesome in working with us to get it resolved! Her communication was well appreciated! She definitely goes above and beyond for her guests. The pool area was a big hit for our group. We love the area. Would definitely recommend this house!

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.

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!!

Girls Trip

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!

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.

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.

Hidden Gem in Pensacola!

Fabulous rental with an ideal pool and backyard set up. There was plenty of chairs, pool floats, toys, games and activities in the outdoor area. The beach was just a short walk away on a well paved path. The property owner was prompt to respond and even let us check in early! Great value property and we will be visiting again!

Perfection

This house was absolutely perfect for my group. The pool kept the children busy when we weren't at the beach or doing other activities. The balcony was perfect! We had a few heavier set people in a group and the patio furniture was nice and sturdy so everyone was comfortable sitting on it. The beach is a very short walk away. I noted a few reviews that mentioned an unpleasant odor downstairs, I called the owner who explained it had been fixed and it had. There was no foul odors anywhere in the house. The downstairs is not accessible from upstairs, it simply wasn't an issue for our group, we all ran back and forth as needed without issue. I will be looking to book this house again for future trips!

Fun spring break getaway

We had four families stay here over our Spring Break. Traveled from Wisconsin. Front of the house is a bit run down/no curb appeal but the house itself met expectations. Upstairs bedrooms were nice. Basement bedrooms are not as appealing. Only being able to access the basement from the outside is a bummer. Pool was a huge hit. Had an issue with the pool lights not turning on. Owner was quick to reply to my text. It was great having the beach so close. Would definitely stay here again.

Fun Vacation!

Everyone had a blast and the house/pool was very nice. Couple of things I think should be made more clear in the listing which is why I rated it a 3. 2 of the 5 bedrooms are not accessible from inside the house - they are down by the pool area looks like a converted garage which is great but you do have to go up/down stairs to get into the main house from them. The other thing is the listing says it offers great views of the Gulf and it does not. The walk is not far which is great but you cannot see or hear the ocean from the house or deck which was very disappointing since I had searched for Beachfront and it came up and said there were views. All you could see were the houses between us and the beach. The pool lights had evidently been left on by the previous visitors and they weren't checked so when we couldn't get them to come on it was 3 days before someone was there to get them working.

Disappointed had no water until 8:30 they were exchanging the on demand.

House is in a great location but needs a lot of updating. Ping pong table was broke, basketball back board broke. Outside shower had rotted wood to dangerous to use. Pool was cold until our last day when pool cleaners came. There wasn’t a porch light for front porch with a lot of steps. Could be a great place if they fixed up.

Spring Break 2022

We chose this property because it had a lot to offer for all the different ages in our family. The location of the house was perfect, it was a very short walk to the beach with no busy roads to cross and the beach was beautiful! The backyard was fenced in for privacy, and the pool was very nice too! However, we were very disappointed that the beautiful sandbox shown in the pictures was actually completely unusable because it was overgrown with tree roots and grass. The ping-pong table was cracked and could not be used. The basement bedrooms had a strong musty odor which came home with us in all of our towels and clothes. This is unfortunate because of the prime location. I feel bad saying all of this because Stephany was very helpful and a pleasure to work with when we had questions and concerns. However, with a little TLC, this place could be FANTASTIC!

We LOVED this place!! Very clean and nicely updated! We had 16 people stay and had enough room. This place had everything that we needed! Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and we cooked a wide variety of meals. They had all kinds of outdoor activities/toys as well as indoor. The pool was a huge hit!! We had different kinds of weather while being there and had plenty to do! Owner was GREAT! Communicated before our trip and made sure we had everything we needed. Great location! Not far at all from the main attractions and literally a block off the beach. We will definitely be rebooking for next year!!

beach vacation

We went between Christmas and New years. The weather was amazing and the pool was the highlight of the trip. Location is great! If just a couple of improvements could be made, I would have given 5 stars. The downstairs is NOT accessable without going outside. I booked a year in advance and I did not know this. New towels/ pans and just general kitchen items would really help as well. We had a group of 10 and the living area just was not big enough but that is my fault for not paying attention to details.

About the host

Hosted by Stephany Smith

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.
