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!

Our family loved the Sunshine Beach house! The walk to the beach was only 5 minutes and the home was stocked with beach towels, beach toys, beach chairs, and even a wagon to load everything into so we didn’t have to carry anything. The stairway across the street going into the water was an ideal spot to drink my morning cup of coffee. The swing in the back by the pool was everyone’s favorite spot to hang out! My family will definitely be staying here again!

Relaxing!

This house has so much! Beautiful pool, beach volleyball, beach chairs, and a relaxing place to stay away from the excitement of downtown area. It is about a 10 minute drive to restaurants. Golf cart services are available on the beach (for tips). This house is located just a very short walk to a quiet beach. Looking forward to another trip!
