Bare Feet Retreat: 4BR Gulf Front, Beach Boardwalk

***Updated 2025***
This remarkable beach front home just remodeled and ready for your stay***
If you are looking for a charming gulf-front retreat that offers the feeling of home, this is it! Bare Feet Retreat is one of Pensacola Beach’s vintage properties, blending the charm of the past with the modern conveniences of today. The views of the powder-white sand and crystal-clear water, combined with the soothing sounds of the surf, will create memories to last a lifetime.

What makes this gulf-front home a unique find is its large porch and private walkway to the water’s edge. While Pensacola Beach has many beach properties, Bare Feet Retreat stands out as a true gem!
The owner was determined to preserve the “beach home” feel, ensuring that the original woodwork and warm, welcoming atmosphere remained intact. The goal was to provide a modern beach décor while embracing the home’s original features and charm. Gulf Coast Getaways is proud to offer this uniquely updated property!

The bottom floor of Bare Feet Retreat features a drive-in carport, perfect for keeping at least one car out of the elements. This area also provides great space for storing floats, coolers, and additional beach equipment.

The main level of the home is an open concept, with a large great room, dining area, and kitchen. This spacious area allows families to gather, cook, dine, and relax. The living room offers ample seating with three large sofas (one of which is a queen-size sleeper sofa) and a large flat-screen TV.

The fully equipped kitchen provides plenty of space, with a bar area that seats four and a farmhouse table with seating for eight.
The large porch is a guest favorite! It’s a cozy spot to relax out of the sun while still enjoying views of the surf. The porch features a comfortable hanging swing and a dining area, perfect for watching dolphins. On both sides of the porch, you’ll find open deck areas ideal for sun lovers.

Also on the main level is a large master suite, complete with a flat-screen TV and a sliding glass door leading to the deck. This sun-filled room offers sweeping waterfront views of the sand and surf. The spacious layout includes a king bed and a full bed, making it convenient for families with small children to sleep together. The adjoining master bathroom includes a large vanity, a soaker tub, and a separate shower.

On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find two more bedrooms and a full bathroom. One bedroom is directly gulf-front with a king-sized bed, flat-screen TV, and a large sliding glass door to the sun deck. The second bedroom sleeps four, with a queen bed and a daybed with a trundle. This room also includes a flat-screen TV.

The third level of the home features a bonus room with a second master bedroom and a renovated full bath. This bedroom includes a king bed, full bathroom, mini kitchenette, and an incredible gulf-front deck. While the rest of the house offers beautiful gulf views, this room provides the most stunning, unobstructed views of the Gulf of America. You won’t want to miss out on enjoying these long-range views!

* Bedroom 1: 1 King, 1 Full with bathroom
* Bedroom 2: 1 Queen, 2 Twins (Trundle Bed)
* Bedroom 3: 1 King
* Bedroom 4: 1 King with bathroom
* Living Room: 1 Queen Pull-out Couch
Don’t miss the chance to enjoy these breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Gulf of America!

Beautiful spot

This is an incredible Location. The house is steps onto the beach with your own little path. Loved how it was more private and way less crowded than the in town beach. It is very close to town for all the yummy restaurants. We would definitely go back to this house. The one thing I’d say is come knowing you’ll need beach towels because they aren’t provided, shampoo conditioners, and you’ll need more toilet Paper paper towels trash bags etc. They leave a bar of soap for each bathroom and one toilet roll. This is just a heads up. We still think it deserves the 5 stars because it is wonderful!

Great location-fix bathroom doors

Great location! The house had everything we needed. It IS a bit dated, however. Swinging 'saloon like" doors to the toilet/shower in downstairs bedroom REALLY need to be changed. There is no bathroom privacy in that area.

Fantastic location with some issues

Pros: The view was fantastic. Direct beach access is awesome. The renting agency was easy to deal with and quick to respond to questions. Cons: The kitchen was outfitted with the cheapest possible version of everything - pots & pans, utensils, flatware, appliances. Many pots were damaged too badly to use. Disappointing given the price we paid and in comparison to other places we've stayed nearby.

Amazing location

The location and view of the water was amazing. The only thing that would be nice is that they say the property sleeps 12 we had only 9 and there would not have been enough towels if we would have had 1 more. It was also lacking some very basic supplies. There is a request to run the dishwasher prior to leaving which is very standard but there were any pods to run the washer. It also lacked some other very basics like salt and pepper which aren’t a big deal if you drive but if you fly buying those very basics is a huge waste for guests. I can’t say enough about the views and location though.

Family Fun in Sun

The house is very comfortable. The bedrooms were perfect for us. ( 6 adults, 1 child) The living area was arranged perfectly. There are puzzles and beach books for when-a beach break is needed. The deck is terrific! We used the gas grill with no problems. Downstairs is an outdoor shower. Kitchen well stocked with appliances, pans, bowls, dishes, pots, utensils & cooking utensils. Another set of forks would be nice to have as we don’t use plastic! Also, as the freezer in the fridge is small & the demand for ice is high, perhaps a small ice maker could be installed? A kitchen drawer came off the track and maintenance was out that day to repair it! He also set up the hose for us as someone had removed the connector. One flaw that was almost a deal breaker for us renting again next year is the bathroom in large downstairs bedroom. The toilet/shower closet has slatted, wooden swinging doors as seen in old Western movies! They don’t even latch! This affords no privacy. I am hoping that the owner upgrades this to a barn door! I rented in good faith that this will happen! The boardwalk to the beach is excellent. It was so nice having 2 Adirondack chairs at the base of the walk. Such a great place to sit & sip or read or just listen to waves at night. Lovely touch! We used the beach umbrella for extra shade. There were beach chairs & toys that we did not use. All in all this was a great house for us.

End of Summer Beach Vacay!

We very much enjoyed our time at this property and would recommend it to friends. We would definitely consider coming back in the future. The staff was very helpful in accommodating an early check-in since we had little kids who had been in the car for a very long time. We very much appreciated this. The location was fantastic and the beach access was perfect. The property was not far from the main drag, but it was far enough away to be calm and uncrowded. We did notice that the boardwalk needed some TLC, but no one was injured or maimed and it was not unsafe. The outdoor seating areas also maybe needed some attention, but again, these are only minor comments. There was plenty of space to accommodate our group and nothing was uncomfortable. The family room space was perfect! There was lots of room for all of our group to sit in the evenings and plenty of room around the dining table (but we did need a few more chairs here). The TV was nice and easy to use. The WiFi also worked well, even for video conferencing. The kitchen was well stocked and we cooked a lot. It was a bit hard to cook for a big group (maybe needed more large items like pots, pans, baking sheets, etc.), but we were prepared for this and managed to adapt as needed. The appliances were a little dated but functioned adequately. The refrigerator struggled to keep up when we first arrived and packed it full of groceries for 11 adults; but we were able to contact the text line and a service provider was sent to inspect it on the same day. He vacuumed some cooling components and it was running great by the end of the evening. We were very pleased with the responsiveness of the staff to address this issue. The sleeping arrangements easily accommodated our group and no one complained about the beds being uncomfortable. (This is my own personal suggestion, but I would have appreciated some upgraded/additional bedding, as what was provided was a bit minimal. But, I understand not wanting to put a lot of investment into this when people don't treat it well.) The kitchen cabinets and bathrooms needed to be updated -- there was nothing wrong with them, but they were obviously dated. Still, there was plenty of hot water and everything was very clean so this really wasn't a disappointment or problem. The water pressure was also good so long as not all three bathrooms were going at the same time. Overall, we enjoyed our vacation and would recommend this property for others.

Average Beach House - Great Ocean View

The view, access and privacy were as advertised...no question. Would stay there again if house updated a bit, repairs made to boardwalk and deck...and some appliances replaced. It is a beach house so one expects some wear and tear. Positive overall experience with some reservations. Need to update online pictures...bring weekly rates to more comparable price due to updates needed.

We had 4 families with 6 kids from 2-7 years old stay in this house for 6 nights. It was just enough room and the walk to the beach was so perfect. Any issues we had were addressed quickly. We cannot quit talking about how comfortable the beds were. We are looking at booking now for next year. Thanks for sharing your property with us.

Perfect beachfront location for Blue Angels show

Pros: Lovely beachfront with private walkway over dunes, coud leave chairs and toys at the end of walkway so didn't have to haul them in every time. Screened porch with swing so perfect for beach-gazing we didn't even mind rainy weather; able to enjoy the sea in all its moods. Lots of toys/chairs left in the garage by previous guests (we left three umbrellas) so we only had to buy a few beach things. Just enough room for 8 adults and 4 kids. Driveway/garage perfect for cornhole or lots of parking. Groceries and alcohol delivered by Publix, so no need to leave once we got there. Outstanding communication with management. Comfy beds, lots of towels. Cons: House a little more dated than listing shows, but, hey, it's a beach house. No ventilation for stove, had to open windows when cooking bacon, which let in hot air and flies. Boardwalk to beach is old and splintery. Several of us got bloody toes (because we shucked our shoes when we arrived and didn't put any on until we left). Nails popping up on the deck/boardwalk are a hazard -- either replace with screws or supply a hammer. We used driftwood to pound them down. Also, spindles loose or missing on railings. These are not as much complaints as just letting the management know about needed repairs. I owned a house at the beach and it's much harder to keep up than a house anywhere else. Overall, it's in good shape. A fabulous place for a family beach vacation. I would stay here again.

Perfect Place for a Family Vacation

Amidst all of the concern with COVID-19, we chose this house because of its direct access to the beach and the ability to stay together safely. The house was well-equipped, layed out, comfortable and provided a wonderful week away. The beach is beautiful - great swimming, soft white sand and plenty of space for social distancing with our tent, umbrella, 10 chairs, sand toys, coolers, etc. Screened deck/porch was lovely for morning coffee and evening drinks. Plenty of parking room for our cars too. We look forward to planning another trip at this property.

Beautiful Home

The size and layout of the home was nice but had several issues. Such as ac stopped working in upstairs bedroom and was replaced with a stand up ac which was actually to small to keep the bedroom comfortable during the day. There was also sewer gas smell in upstairs bathroom. Someone’s eye contacts were dried onto the nightstand beside the bed. Several toe nails were found on floor in living room. There were some nail heads sticking up on the deck and walk way to beach. Overall the house was very nice and we enjoyed our stay.
