About this property
🏖️ The Surf Shack | Gulf Views + 30 Steps to Beach | Budget + Pet-Friendly 🐾
Welcome to Pensacola Beach's fun and most adorable vacation home! What this house lacks in size, it makes up for in rustic charm! The Surf Shack is a 900 square foot house that is perfect for a small family of five. If your group craves the privacy of a single-family home but doesn’t desire the cost of a large beach home, this house is perfect! You can even bring the family dog.
This house is Gulf Coast Getaway's version of "Glamping." This property is not for those looking for a luxury vacation rental, rather guests that are adventurous and want to spend time in the surf, shops, and exploring all that Pensacola Beach has to offer.
This home was purchased for its location as well as it’s beautiful views! It is positioned so that guest have clear and amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico. The beach is a quick walk across a neighborhood road (30 steps from the sand). The location is also walking distance to many shops and restaurants. The home is also located near the Parade route and will be a Mardi Gras hot spot!
The interior of the Surf Shack is cozy with the living room and kitchen being the first thing you see when you enter the home. The living room has a large flat screen TV and a queen sleeper sofa. Between the kitchen and living room you will find a two-person bar. Additional dining space is on the upstairs deck and a larger table down below.
The kitchen has limited space but should have everything you need for basic meals. It has a two - eye stove, an oven, toaster, and a microwave. The home also has a full-sized fridge in the kitchen and an additional fridge with an ice maker in the laundry room down below.
The master bedroom is also on the main level. This room has a king-sized bed, a flat screen tv, and beautiful views of the gulf. The master bedroom connects to the homes main bathroom which has a vanity and a single person shower.
This cute little home also has a quaint loft area which can be a great place for the kids or a second couple. A queen-sized bed is in the loft area along with a small futon sofa. A half bath is also located in the loft area.
The outside of the Surf Shack is where guest will find lots of spill over space. Off the main living area guest will find a nice sized deck with seating. This is a great place to have your morning coffee or glass of wine to watch the sunset. The bottom level deck is nicely shaded and will be a cool and spacious place to grill out, have family dinner, and watch tv. This bottom level deck is also where guest can find the laundry room and an additional full-sized fridge/freezer with an ice maker. This level also has an outside shower to hose the sand off your feet!
This is a pet friendly home. This means one medium dog or up to 2 of a small breed dog. >>>Pets are only allowed if the unit has advertised as such and the non-refundable $150.00 pet fee per pet has been applied in the rental agreement. ** >>>The Surf Shack is Pet friendly with approval - non shedding dogs only $150 pet fee / per pet does apply ** Limit 2 Pets - must be friendly non-aggressive. Pets that leave excessive cleaning needs will be charged extra cleaning fees. If any pet is discovered on any property without prior authorization or notification the penalty is a $500.00 charge per pet for extra clean up and flea treatment.
This home has some tight spaces so please keep this in mind when booking! The loft space has limited height and the spiral stairs leading to the loft is a compact space. We have the Loft as the 2nd bedroom to help for people searching - it is a restricted ceiling space and best for kids, teenagers, or adventurous adults.
Booking now for Holiday & Winter 2024 with lowest prices of the year, and all dates thru 2025! This unit is well loved by guests, has return guests each year! Reserve your preferred dates, this unit sells out in peak seasons and Holidays!
