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.

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.

The house worked well for our family. Eight adults and four kids. The pool design is fantastic. Easy access to the beach. The beach is great! The downstairs rooms are not as nice as the upstairs rooms, but hey when you’re accommodating a lot of people and kids, it’s fine. Appreciated greatly the pool toys and beach toys and chairs as we arrived by airplane. Towels provided are great. Beds are good.

Listed as 5 br. Nope! Ur charged full price but the downstairs is bug infested damp no lights unsafe (doors not sturdy) unfinished GARAGE with yard sale beds. The bunk was so shaky the 4yo was scared it would collapse. No access to the house without going outside. Location excellent. Nice pool but heated by sun only.

We had a great family weekend for UWF graduation. The pool was a highlight for the kiddos and very nicely heated to allow for cold weather swimming! Downstairs did need some airing out due to misty smell but did not affect the trip or ability to sleep. I would definitely stay again!

Perfection!

We are so excited about our stay at the Gumbo Bungalow - it was everything we hoped it would be and then some! Location is perfect. Pool was lovely and warm. Kitchen was very well appointed with quality pots and pans and equipment. The towels were thick and Lucious. Beach towels were plentiful and thick Outdoor furniture was awesome. Obvious that the place is being cared for. Stephany was quick to respond to my messages. Washer and dryer handled everything from tiny loads to extra large loads of beach towels. Highly recommend staying here - perfect for the teenagers we had with us to have some space to call their own yet be upstairs for breakfast lunch and dinner together. Bonus! Super Delta Flyover directly over our pool on Wednesday! It was a wonderful week of family fun. Thank you!

Start with the good- great location, super quiet! Great communication with owner! The pool was great and plenty of outdoor seating for a large group. Property needs some serious TLC. Steps out to beach walk are falling apart and are a serious trip hazard for kids/ older adults. The wood is actually coming off the steps. Tried to use the pans to cook but everything just burns to the bottom and took forever to clean. The kids rooms have no access to the main living without going outside. Bath tub in one of the bathrooms was SO LOUD we thought we would break through the floor. Two of the beds (one king and another queen) squeak so loud whenever you turn over, it woke everyone in the bed up. Ok property if your main thing is pool/outdoor seating! Will say again, the owner had great communication. Just need to put a little time and updates in the house and it would be great!

Nice, but could use updates.

Overall I would stay here again. But there were a few pretty big issues. Let me start off with the positives. The location was excellent. You were just a short walk from the beach and a few min drive from shopping and restaurants. The pool was amazing. I really liked how private the place felt.The neighborhood was super quiet. The upstairs was nicely laid out and had plenty of space for our families to hang out. The house definitely needs some upkeep. The pictures do not reflect the house in any capacity. Just a little paint would go a huge way with this place. We booked this house with the intention of having 12 people. Thankfully 3 bailed last min so we had a total of 5 adults and 4 kids. This made a huge difference in our stay because the 2 bedrooms downstairs were not usable. They smelled of mold terribly and had a lot of bugs. It is also worth noting that the downstairs is not accessible to the upstairs without going outside. We found the downstairs bathroom convenient as a pool bathroom though. They also had a black rubber mat in front of the backdoor that got SUPER hot during the day. More than one person burned their feet on it, forgetting to put shoes on after getting out of the pool. There was no green grass or sandbox either. Despite these problems I would stay here again if only needing a 3 bedroom place with 2 king beds, one queen and a rollaway bed. I just really wish they would update their pictures. It left me feeling very hoodwinked.

Family annual beach trip

We all enjoyed the property. Kitchen was nicely equipped. It just needed more dish rags and towels. And bathing towels and wash rags, as well. The guest that occupied the downstairs bedrooms were a little inconvenienced with not having stairs inside. They had to go outside, rain or shine to get to their bedrooms.

Property needs a lot of TLC. Things that you should know… 1. Toaster only toasts one side of bread. 2. Downstairs inaccessible from top portion, you must go outside to access. 3.Paint on exterior peeling, boards to walk way to beach dangerous and loose. 4. Multiple areas of missing fencing. 5. No cleaning supplies on site like windex or surface cleaners at all with a glass large kitchen table. Overall just felt very run down. I would not rent the place again. Pool was wonderful for the kids and beach was close. A few $ invested could make a huge day

Overall impression is it certainly served the needs of two families. Pool was a hit. Poolside and deck was also nice and sunny. Ping pong, pool volleyball and horseshoes was popular. Master bedroom had no remote to tv. Yard volleyball net should be redone. Didn’t bother using. Definitely upkeep, but we all enjoyed ourselves!!
