About this property
Barefoot Bungalow - Ideal Location, No Stairs, Dog Friendly Fenced Yard
The Barefoot Bungalow is a true gem -- providing midcentury charm with modern amenities! The 1950's Florida style 3bed/2bath cottage is perfect for family and friends who prefer not to climb stairs and need a fenced backyard for children and small dogs to enjoy. Our pet fee is among the lowest on the beach at $150 per small dog.
Our Pensacola Beach location is ideal. We are across the street from the Sound and a 4 minute (2 block) stroll to the Gulf of Mexico. While in a quiet neighborhood, the Barefoot Bungalow is close to the restaurants and shops at the beach. Two blocks to a playground and three blocks to enjoy seafood and sunset cocktails. You can enjoy a walk, ride one of our bikes or call a golf cart (for tips) to take you anywhere on the island in minutes!
The Barefoot Bungalow is all about making beach memories. In our front yard we have a deck with island views and a shady area below for outdoor dining surrounded by jasmine. Out back we have a large deck with shade and sun areas, a picnic table and a grill. You won't even have to go inside for a shower or restroom as we have an adorable full bathhouse under the rustling palm trees.
Inside we have a full size washer/dryer in our entry "sand" room. Our East Bedroom has a full bed and private bath with a step up shower. Our Sound Bedroom has a queen bed. The Gulf Room has two twin beds. The small Hall Bath also has a shower. The kitchen has all you need to cook and serve family favorites as well as a few cookbooks if you want to try something new. We have a Keurig coffee maker for your preferred flavors, so all you have to do is decide which of our cozy areas will you choose to enjoy that first cup. Our WiFi reaches the back deck, but if you don't want to be contacted (you are on vacation) go out to the front deck and no one can find you!
There is parking for four cars out front.
Our comfortable atmosphere and signature turquoise color is designed to inspire you to relax and enjoy the simplicity of Pensacola Beach. We have a notebook of local recommendations to help you make your vacation in paradise one you will always remember.

About the host
Hosted by DeLisa Harmon and Monique Corley
Two cousins, Monique and DeLisa, born and raised in Pensacola, decided to buy an original Florida Cottage in 2013 in honor of our mothers, Ann and Dot, and our childhood. Together with Monique's husband Ken, we christened The Barefoot Bungalow and set out to make our 1,000 sq ft in paradise comfortable for today while maintaining the original 1952 charm. No drywall for us!
We have moved around a lot but two things remain constant, our love for family and Pensacola Beach. DeLisa now lives in Park City, UT and spends April and May each year in the Barefoot Bungalow. Making home improvements and hosting friends and family on the beach are highlights every year. Monique and Ken have recently lived in the Barefoot Bungalow for almost two years, as they retired and moved back from Houston to find their forever home in Pensacola.
It is our honor to host guests in our family home. We love sharing a piece of Pensacola history with visitors to the world's most beautiful beaches. We have decided that a management company is too impersonal for us. So, we will be renting through VRBO to have better communication with our guests. We have an onsite manager, Jon, for in person check ins to ensure you are welcomed properly and can ask questions. You will always have a responsive point of contact. We want to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible. We look forward to your feedback and will do our bests to make improvements to The Barefoot Bungalow each year with your suggestions.

Why they chose this property
We wanted our beach house to be quiet and comfortable, but very close to all the fun on Pensacola Beach. We have a lovely gulf beach area that is rarely very busy and the Sound neighborhood is a delightful place to walk and bike ride and wave at the neighbors. Two blocks away is cute playground for the kids and a basketball court for a friendly game. All with a water view!
When it's time for some excitement, you can bike ride 3 min. to the Native Cafe for breakfast/lunch, 1 more min. you will be listening to live bands at Paradise on the water and in a total of 5 min you can cruise into the Sneaky Tiki to enjoy sunset cocktails at the coolest, dog friendly, bar on the beach.

What makes this property unique
The Barefoot Bungalow is the 12th house built on Pensacola Beach. We are only the third owners since 1952! In the 1950's, coming out to the beach was not very popular. My how things have changed!
When we purchased the original cottage in 2013, she needed a lot of love. We put a well-stocked little kitchen in and painted our jewel turquoise to call out a simple vacation vibe. We've found mid century modern pieces to pay tribute to the roots of the cottage. Our kitchen table was Dot's from the 1960's and it feels like she is still with us out here! We are by far not the fanciest beach house, but we hope to have added the comforts you require with a vintage feel to inspire memories of a lifetime.
We hope you will see what makes our property unique is the atmosphere that beckons you to forget your cares and relax into the simplicity -- oh and you will dream of the outdoor bathhouse long after you have gone. We will look forward to welcoming you back again next year!
