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!

Relaxing Getaway

Our stay was beyond everything that we needed. It was just 3 of us and we had plenty of room. We enjoyed early mornings and nights on the front deck. Mid afternoons and nights we enjoyed the back deck and the pool. We were about a 5 minute walk to the beach. It did rain a couple of times but cleared up in the evening. It was nice to take a golf cart ride to restaurants and other attractions. The golf cart company only takes tips. The gentlemen was extremely nice and courteous. We're thinking about making it our annual trip! Mr Rushing was a great host and checked on us periodically. Thank you for an amazing stay!!!

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!

Sunshine Beach House has it ALL!

We were in Florida for my brother’s memorial and this house was perfectly located near Fort Pickens ( the site of the memorial ) and the dog beach. We had 3 adults and 1 dog. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked and the backyard was perfectly designed for a get together of the siblings afterwards! Beautiful pool and volleyball court, all meticulously maintained. Rob was very communicative and helpful with suggestions on how to enjoy the amenities and the Pensacola Beach/Gulf Breeze area! 10/10 We would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you, Rob!

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!
