About this property

Ultimate Family Beach Home. Game Porch! On Sand Level! Pets OK! Heated Pool!

This 5000+ square foot home is built on ground level so no big outside stairs to climb. Our home Casa deLuna has additional 1600 square feet of wrap-around covered porches. The 17 x 40 game porch will afford your family lots of fun. Our home is ideal for weddings, anniversaries, or special occasion gatherings. Enlarged kitchen--new in 2023.

With 9 bedrooms and 8 full baths (6 bathrooms connect to private bedrooms), our home sleeps up to 26 people in beds - no air mattresses needed. Our bedrooms are all legal and all have windows; no cubby holes here. We have a wood crib, a Pack 'n Play, and a high chair.

For the professional cleaning crew, Guests pay $1 with VRBO reservation and pay $481 in labor to cleaning crew on departure day. $496 in 2025. (There is no sales tax on labor so you save $60.)

There is off-street parking for up to 12 cars. There is room for sports team bus. We have ordered a Level 2 EV Charging Station for optional use by electric vehicles later in 2024.

We are 40 feet from the Sound with public access for you, and for your boat and other water toys. The Gulf of Mexico is a 2 short block walk. USA Today named Pensacola Beach as 'Top 5 Florida Beach' again! Trip Advisor has named Pensacola Beach as 4th BEST BEACH in the US.

Our pool is private and refreshing. Available gas heater is 400,000 BTU. Optional daily gas heating reimbursement in shoulder season starts at $45/day, depending on month, for 85-degree water. Gas reimbursement rates are not firm until month of check-in due to unstable natural gas prices.

The game porch includes ping pong, hobby pool table, Foosball, and XBox ONE Gaming.

There are 3 over-sized king bed Master Suites on the 2nd floor, each with its own bathroom, sitting area with table/chairs/mini fridge/coffee maker and its own private covered balcony overlooking Santa Rosa Sound with its amazing sunset views. At night the lights over the water are twinkling rays of color. There is a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub in one of the 2nd floor baths. There is a wooden crib and we have a Pack 'n Play.

The ground floor has 6 bedrooms including: two masters, one with 2 queen beds with private bath and one with king bed with private bath. Both have French doors opening onto the porch and swimming pool. Also on the first floor is a huge bedroom with 3 queen beds and handicap-friendly bathroom; a room with full size bed; and two rooms with two twin beds. There are five bathrooms on the first floor. Every bedroom on both floors has its own SmartTV. Every bathroom has a hair dryer.

There is a commercial ice maker for those hot, thirsty days, and a second large refrigerator with ice maker on the gaming porch.

We have a new 85' HDTV television in the living room; perfect for up-close sports watching or enjoying movies on the big screen. TV has great Samsung sound system.

The kitchen is fully furnished with toaster oven, microwave, waffle maker, air fryer, two drip coffee makers plus a Kurig and almost everything you will need. There is a gas grill for use outdoors on the sand. We supply the LP cooking gas.

We are continually upgrading our home. The pool liner was replaced in 2023. Our downstairs air conditioning system was replaced with a 40% bigger one; upstairs air conditioner was also replaced.

Come stay at Casa de Luna, kick back, relax and live the beach style!

College Swim/Dive Team Winter Training
The property fit our needs perfectly. Lots of space and amenities. The game room was great and used everyday for pool and ping pong matches. The heated pool was a great bonus as the weather was a bit chilly during our trip. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals for our team. Plenty of of beds, rooms, and bathrooms for everyone. It was very close to the ocean and the bay. Plenty of parking and our bus fit with room to spare. The host was there to greet us and checked in daily. Will return in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Dave

Host profile image
We are Pensacola residents and business owners who love Pensacola Beach and want to give others from around the globe the chance to experience our amazing beach and all our area has to offer. Families make special vacation memories that can last forever.

Pensacola Beach has won 5th BEST BEACH in Travelers Choice voting and TOP 5 FLORIDA BEACH in USA Today voting. Our nearby Gulf Shores National Seashore has won the title of "Best Florida Beach" from USA Today readers. We agree!

Why they chose this property

This house is one of the largest single-family houses on the beach with 9 real bedrooms and has an abundance of 8 full bathrooms. Has a nice pool that can be heated with natural gas.

We love that house is built on sand-level, so no outside stairs to climb. Ideal for wheelchairs plus there is one handicap-friendly bathroom on the ground floor. Great for family gatherings!

What makes this property unique

We like that there is lots of living and sleeping on ground floor which appeals to those who don't like stairs. Home is just a stone's throw from the waters of the Sound with its fantastic sunsets. While some people automatically choose expensive Gulf front houses, they are missing out on fabulous sunsets over the bay, on the nighttime lights over the water and on the ability to put your paddle board, canoe, boat or other watercraft in the Sound. The most-amazing white-sand Gulf of Mexico Beach is 2 short-blocks from our home.

Guests often ask about going to Blue Angels aerial practices at Aviation Museum. Info as of 5/17/23:
The National Naval Aviation Museum is open Monday-Sunday from 9A-4P. (See Below.)

US Navy announced on 5/15/23- NAS-Pensacola will allow 7-day access to areas of public interest. While on the installation, the public will be able to visit the Pensacola Lighthouse, Fort Barrancas and the National Naval Aviation Museum (NNAM). Public access to NAS Pensacola will be available from 9A-3p. through the West Gate ONLY on Blue Angel Parkway. All U.S. citizens 18+ must have a REAL ID or passport. Navy requires any identification card used for base access to be compliant with the REAL ID Act of 2005. Real ID-compliant identification cards are marked by a star on the upper right of the card. NASP base access will be dependent on available parking at the National Naval Aviation Museum (NNAM) and Pensacola Lighthouse. Once parking is full, public access will be halted until more parking becomes available. Temporary traffic control points will be located on base to prevent public access to other areas of the installation. Foreign Nationals are authorized access but must be escorted by a U.S. citizen in the same vehicle. See base website for details.
