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.

We had a great time staying at this property. Nice little home close to everything. Short 3 - 4 block walk to the beach which felt very private. Property manager was very responsive. We had everything we needed and property was as described in the listing. We would consider staying here again in the future! Pet friendly, pool, awesome patio swing, and volleyball court. 5/5 recommended

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!

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!!!

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!
