Sunshine Beach House • Private Heated Pool • Walk to Sound & Gulf • Pet Friendly

Welcome to Sunshine Beach House, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach cottage that sleeps up to 8 and offers the best of both sides of Pensacola Beach. Located just steps from public access to Santa Rosa Sound on the north side and a short walk to the Gulf of Mexico on the south side, you can paddle, swim, or watch the sunset—all within minutes of your front door.

This cozy, single-family home (990 sq ft) is thoughtfully equipped for a relaxed and comfortable stay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking at home, and the open living areas make it easy to spend time together after a day at the beach.

Step outside and enjoy your private heated pool (up to 6 hours of heat per day included at no extra charge), a regulation-size sand volleyball court, and a charcoal grill for casual outdoor meals. The expansive back deck runs the entire length of the house and is perfect for morning coffee, evening drinks, or just unwinding after a beach day. We also provide beach chairs and towels, so packing is easy. We have a Keurig coffeemaker that takes K-cups and ground coffee.

For work or play, the house features super-fast 1-gig internet and Roku streaming TVs in every bedroom and the living room—ideal for remote work, streaming, or keeping everyone entertained.

No cleaning fee. No crazy checkout chore list. We believe your vacation should actually feel like a vacation.

New front and backyard landscaping completed January 2024!

Families, friends, and pets are welcome, so bring everyone along to enjoy all that Pensacola Beach has to offer at Sunshine Beach House.

Need more space? We also own and rent the blue house next door at 1202 Panferio Drive (Vrbo #2358460)—perfect for larger groups traveling together.
