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.

Overall the beach house was attractive and fit our needs! We were disappointed in the layers of dirt that were on the back exit door and the dining chairs. The filtered water and ice in the refrigerator did not work. The blinds on the back doors did not operate properly. If you expect renters to clean the grill, a grill brush should be accessible.

This house was just perfect for our family group. Between a very reasonable walking distance to the (surprisingly not very busy!) beach (think 2 house lengths) and the heated pool, our kids had a spring break to remember. The beds were great, couch was super comfy, the kitchen was stocked with enough plates, cups, silverware, the washer and dryer were great - just overall a fantastic house. We have already discussed renting it again! Beach toys and pool toys were a perk since we flew in. The downstairs rooms do have a smell, but it wasn't a bad smell that we couldn't get past. Maybe from getting wet at some point? It wasn't a dealbreaker for us. Loved the easy check in and check out list. Owner was great with communicating as well! 10/10 would recommend this house and yard for your family!

Definitely appreciated such a kind and accommodating host! We had 10 adults and 8 littles who loved the pool and family volleyball. Dinner was easily prepared with everything we needed from pots and pans to utensils and stocked cups and plates and glassware. Everyone was comfortable with the sleeping arrangements and there were plenty of extra bedding and clean fluffy pillows although we brought our own and did not need them. We had to do a quite a bit of cleaning, sweeping and wipe downs on both levels before the guest arrived but had everything we needed to do so. The beach was a very short stroll and quiet. The entire family loved everything our family stay! Thank you and will rent again.

The upstairs and pool area were fantastic, which made the rest of the experience very disappointing. The downstairs was unacceptable — there was visible mold and roaches, making it unlivable. Because of this, half of our group had to book a hotel room.We contacted the owner about these issues. He later stated that he did receive the message the day before, but there was no response at the time and no offer of compensation.The following day, we also had no hot water. We were told someone would arrive to fix it by 5 PM, but we were in town for a wedding and all 13 of us needed to shower and be ready by 4 PM.Due to the condition of the property, lack of timely communication, and no compensation offered, this stay did not meet expectations.

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.

Highly recommend booking a stay at this beautiful home! It was perfect for our family, 6 adults ages 19-42, children ages 17, 7 and 2 toddlers under age 2. The pack-n-play and high chair were of great help with the littles. There was plenty of space for everyone to have their privacy. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. There were also plenty of beach towels for all of us. The washer and dryer worked great throughout the week which was very nice as a couple of us flew into Florida and packed light. There were many pool/beach toys for the kids. The adults enjoyed the Cornhole boards, pool volleyball and pool basketball as well as all the outdoor seatings areas. The beach is only a very short walk from house, was clean and not crowded, which was very nice. We made a stop at a thrift store on our way in and found some beach chairs, a cooler and an umbrella in excellent condition. I just can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at the Gumbo Bungalow. Stephany was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I can only hope we have the opportunity to return for another stay!

The location and communication with the owner was excellent. The amenities for the beach, pool,and baby was great. It was enough for 3 babies. The downside was the disrepair of some of the things on the property. Broken steps, broken faucets, doors missing, back door on main level and back door on bottom level is not able to shut completely without a lot of force, centipedes in the basement bedrooms (they did send someone to spray while we were here)along with a mildew smell. The basement bedrooms are more like a Sleepaway camp than nice bedrooms. A lot of lightbulbs like 10 were not working. They did quickly send out a plumber to fix the faucet issue and drop off lightbulbs, but there was also shower doors that weren’t able to open or shut, drawer fronts missing etc. anda smelly couch cushion. The owner was so great though that I’m sure that had she been aware of these issues prior she would have repaired them. Overall, we absolutely loved the location and it felt like a private beach with quick easy access. We didn’t have to hunt around to find a good opening spot to get to the beach. The kitchen easily was set up to feed our large family We just wished for the price that a few more things had been attended to.

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

Gumbo House Review July 2025

The house has a great location and a decent pool. The house had not been cleaned properly when we arrived. In general the house is rundown. The area outside under the decking was dirty as well. There were a lot of bugs. The owner did call in an exterminator which did help. The owner did call in repairment to fix a plumbing leak and the HVAC failure. I would never rent this place again.

We booked this property for a family vacation for 11 people. We had an amazing time and we always make the best of anywhere we go no matter what happens and hardly complain about anything. The backyard is a literal Oasis and is the best part of this whole house, the pool is a dream. Now on to the inside of the house, the furniture is majorly outdated upstairs and downstairs. The couches smell very bad, when I say bad I mean they smell like pee and moldy, and the beds squeak a lot and you can tell everything is VERY used, yes this is a rental I understand they are used a lot but these are ALOT. The next biggest issue is when we got there we was hit in the face with the smell of Raid bug killer. We figured okay maybe they had an ant issue of something they took care of, we later learned that was not the case. They have a major bug issue, more specifically centipedes, worms, and the giant wood beetles that look like roaches. The biggest issue of all in this whole house is the mold. You can see the mold growing in places in the down stairs bathroom and it’s not just a little.Once the raid smell cleared out some all you smelled after was a moldy mildew smell. Like I said previously, our group can work with anything and made the house work the best way we could to our standards. I hope this helps someone else because the previous ratings are very misleading.

The kids loved the pool, once I got it cooled down. It’s directly in the sun and has to have some kind of shade sail and fountains to cool it down. Very inexpensive to to install, This allowed us to enjoy the big pool with all of the kids. Great location, right on the sidewalk to the beach and all of our family members, that we’re staying at the fancy houses on the beach front. We loved the vibe. Needs a through deep cleaning, not a deal breaker. Great memories were made.
