Two cousins, Monique and DeLisa, born and raised in Pensacola, decided to buy an original Florida Cottage in 2013 in honor of our mothers, Ann and Dot, and our childhood. Together with Monique's husband Ken, we christened The Barefoot Bungalow and set out to make our 1,000 sq ft in paradise comfortable for today while maintaining the original 1952 charm. No drywall for us!
We have moved around a lot but two things remain constant, our love for family and Pensacola Beach. DeLisa now lives in Park City, UT and spends April and May each year in the Barefoot Bungalow. Making home improvements and hosting friends and family on the beach are highlights every year. Monique and Ken have recently lived in the Barefoot Bungalow for almost two years, as they retired and moved back from Houston to find their forever home in Pensacola.
It is our honor to host guests in our family home. We love sharing a piece of Pensacola history with visitors to the world's most beautiful beaches. We have decided that a management company is too impersonal for us. So, we will be renting through VRBO to have better communication with our guests. We have an onsite manager, Jon, for in person check ins to ensure you are welcomed properly and can ask questions. You will always have a responsive point of contact. We want to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. We look forward to your feedback and will do our bests to make improvements to The Barefoot Bungalow each year with your suggestions.
