Sunshine Beach House - Private Pool - 5 minute walk to beaches - Pet friendly

Sunshine Beach House is a 3 bedroom 2 bath single family cottage (sleeps 8) on Pensacola Beach just waiting for your arrival. With only steps from public access to Santa Rosa Sound (on the north side) and a short jaunt to the Gulf of Mexico (on the south side), you have the best of both beaches!

The house is cozy (990 square feet) and the kitchen is well stocked. Don't forget the private heated pool (no charge for up to 6 hours of heat per day), regulation size sand volleyball court, and charcoal grill. Beach chairs and towels are provided also. You will love hanging out on the back deck that extends the entire length of the house.

We have a super fast Internet connection (1 gigabyte download) and a streaming Roku television in each bedroom and the living room. We DO NOT CHARGE A CLEANING FEE or ask for you to do any crazy chores.

NEW front and back yard landscaping completed January 2024. See the last photo for what it now looks like!

Bring your family, friends and pets to enjoy all that Pensacola Beach has to offer at the Sunshine Beach House.

By the way, we also own and rent the blue house next door at 1202 Panferio Drive (VRBO 2358460) if you need more space!

Great location and fun property

The house is great for folks looking for a short walk to the beach and conveinient to Pensacola boardwalk. The pool shelf was great for our babies and the daybed downstairs was a great place hang out in the shade during the day. We would certainly come back!

Great Beach House

We enjoyed our stay, heated pool was a plus since it was a little chilly during spring break. Could use a deep cleaning and items needs to be replaced due to stains and rust, other then that place was great.

Family week at the beach

We stayed at the Sunshine House for 8 nights. As others have mentioned, it’s not a big space, but it was great for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. Convenient to the sound and beach, while also convenient to restaurants and activities on the island. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The kitchen is well stocked, leave your beach towels ant home because plenty are provided, and don’t overlook the pool and beach items that Rob provides to his renters! We would definitely stay again!
