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.

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!

Beautiful Location for A Relaxing Stay

This was a ladies retreat with mostly senior citizens The accommodation s were great, but we had some challenges with lighting and it would have been wonderful to have a rail for the pool. The host was amazing! She responded very quickly and the things we needed to know wete posted for everyone to see. It was a perfect location and the hpuse is beautiful!

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.

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.

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 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!!

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!

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.

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.

My family and I stayed August 2025. The house upstairs was wonderful. There were plenty of pots and pans and a coffee pot. The place was lovely. There were chairs and items to use for the beach downstairs under the covered area. The downstairs did have a bug spray smell when we got there and it finally did go away. I believe the downstairs does need another humidifier in the other room as well but my older kids/family did enjoy it. The Pool area was the BEST. We utilized it every day. When we weren't at the beach we were in the pool. You just walked out the gate and went right and straight on the path to the beach. It was great. I loved sitting out on the deck in the morning with my coffee and taking it all in. It was a Wonderful trip. Stephanie was the BEST host. She got back to me every time I had a question. Couldn't have asked for a Better Place to Stay.
