About this property

New construction, custom decorated, chic and spacious Seacrest home, sleeps 14

Big Panda likes the beach life with style. In a newly constructed, custom designed spacious Seacrest home a pleasant few steps to Rosemary restaurants and shops, you will find serenity and comfort. 2 king bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. 2 queen bedrooms with adjoining balcony and shared bathroom. Keep your kiddos happy on the top floor of the house - a gorgeous suite with plenty of room for play and entertainment, featuring built-in bunks which sleep 6 and, of course, their own bathroom.
A welcoming front porch (with ample room to rock and enjoy the twilight or your morning coffee) greets you as you approach Big Panda from the driveway. Enter the light and airy main floor where your family can enjoy time together, lounging on the spacious and chic living room sectional, dining at the comfy and refined rustic table, kitchen round or at the bar. The kitchen (& grill out back) is fully appointed to accommodate you whether an ambitious gourmet or just fixing a quick meal. The open floor plan with vaulted ceilings means whoever is on chef duty can still engage with the rest of the party. Or maybe you are like Big Panda and want to take a night off from cooking, so enjoy the easy stroll to Rosemary restaurants or Seacrest village restaurants, 100 yards from the house. A few details:
All bedroom windows have blackout shades. All living area windows have sun shades. All bedrooms have flat screen smart TVs and remote control ceiling fans as does the living area. The kids floor has a 60" flat screen smart TV and remote control fans. The home offers wifi and cable TV. Enjoy a spacious driveway which fits 2 large SUVs comfortably and available street parking (the benefits of a corner lot on a closed road outlet). Big Panda is at the most southeastern corner of the Seacrest Beach neighborhood bordering Rosemary. This is a Seacrest property which means you have access to arguably the most beautiful pool on 30A as well as beach access for your entire party. Complimentary tram service to the beach or pool - always helpful with little ones, grandparents, or any lazy pandas, is directly outside the front door. Otherwise walk to the beach 1/3 of a mile away or the pool a few blocks away. Beach chair service and many other amenities are available through vendors. Most services operate March through early November and the majority of Rosemary and Seacrest restaurants are open year round. Big Panda 30A awaits! (disclosure: Big Panda has a security camera active on the front porch)

Beautiful place in a great location!

This place was beautiful! The pictures represent this place perfectly. All the rooms are very nice and the kids loft area was perfect. The pool is fantastic and its nice that the tram stop is right outside and will drop you off right at the pool. It's also very close to lots of ships and restaurants. We all loved it

Fabulous find

The house was amazing. It had everything we could have asked for. The kitchen was well stocked, the bathrooms were beautiful and the beds were so comfortable. It was such an easy location to walk and shop, go to the beach and pool, and also loved having the tram stop right there. The owners were amazing to work with and look forward to staying there again!

We love Big Panda!

Big Panda is a great location in Seacrest! It’s very close to the main circle and a short walk to Rosemary. The shuttle service worked great and could bring you to the beach or pool. We could also walk to the pool which was very convenient. The owners were very helpful and responsive! Great house for our big family!

Beach trip 2022

The house was perfect for our size family. There were 11 of us , 7 adults and 4 children. The tram for the beach stopped right at the driveway which was perfect with having small children and all our stuff. The walk to pool is so easy and having the little grocery a short walk away was great! Would highly recommend The Big Panda

Cozy beach stay

We had an awesome time at Big Panda! The property is as described and the pictures show exactly what you get. We enjoyed the kitchen, the spacious living room and the ease of communication with the hosts. Once we figured out the wrist bands and tram situation we enjoyed the beach with ease. On a note about the beach (unrelated to the property but worth knowing before you go), we were glad to know there is plenty of space to bring your own personal beach equipment if you so choose. Great vacation home for your group of family or friends!

Beautiful stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Big Panda, and hope to stay here again soon! We loved the house, the amenities of the neighborhood, and the walkable distance to restaurants, shops and bars. The house was very clean and perfectly decorated; kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need to cook any meal. Owners were very easy to get in touch with if you had any questions or concerns. Just a couple of housekeeping notes for the owner: a chair on the front porch is broken and needs to be replaced. The back door does not lock and needs a locksmith to secure it into place for safety of the house and its occupants. Otherwise, a perfect stay. Thank you!

one word: Incredible!!

Hi, my name is Isaac. I'm 9 years old and was staying here with cousins/family. We stayed here for a week. Ok, enough talking let's get talking about how good it was! First of: the pool was amazing. it was insanely big with a lot of chairs ( but when its really busy you can't really find a spot unless you are lucky.) Next, the house was really big. Me, my cousin, my other cousin and my sister slept on the top floor while the adults and my 3 year old cousin slept with the adults. One of the best parts about the house is that the tram has a stop right in front of the house!! I would talk more about how cool this house is, but i would also like you to experience the big panda. Have a wonderful trip in seacrest beach and have a safe trip back!!

Third time here and it won't be the last!

My family and I love this house and we look forward to our annual stay here all year long. The communication from the owners, the attention to detail with check in, the details of the house and how great it is for large families & multiple families keeps us coming back! We have young kids to older kids and everyone is happy. The proximity to everything around us is one of the perks. We park our cars and bike to anything we need. Daily trips to Charlie's Donuts is the kids favorite thing. Mine is evenings on the porch after a great day at the beach and all the kiddos are happy in their 3rd floor bunks! Beds are comfy, linens are clean. Can't say enough good things. Big Panda, see you next year!

Beautiful Home

This house was super nice the a few hiccups first when we arrived the lock box code was incorrect I called the owner and because the maintenance person wasn’t available to immediately come he suggested that we go get dinner witch wasn’t acceptable we just drove 5 hrs we wanted to get in and get settled finally after 45 min he was able to figure out the code was the wrong one again I can’t stress how nice and inviting the home is last couple of things the dryer didn’t work and we had to figure out how to get the lights on in the 3rd bedroom

great location, cleanliness issues

We had a great family vacation at this home. The location is ideal to go to the restaurants and shops, and the pool and beach are easily walkable. Limited room at the beach, but it did not ruin our time there. The tram service picks you up right in the driveway which makes it nice when you’re traveling with kids or grandparents. There are some things about the house that I would like to bring to the owners attention. I noticed from previous reviews dating back a couple years ago that 90% of my suggestions are repeat suggestions from previous guests. We had to call in the cleaning crew to mop the floors because our feet were turning black from walking around the home. A vacuum on the premises would make clean up much easier around the home. The kitchen is updated and has a ton of countertop room- however, the cookware didn’t appear clean prior to arrival and could also use some updating. The back door can’t be opened, and the front door doesn’t shut tightly without working with the handle. A chair on the front porch is on its way out as well. Some minor fixes and cleanliness issues. The house itself is very nice and the location can’t be beat. If these suggestions were taken care of, this would be one of the best houses on 30A.

Family Trip

Location was great. Bed and bathrooms were as noted. A few big let downs...First of all all front and back doors need to be replace!! I mean if there is a note saying not to open certain doors along with the fact you have to slam each door to get it to close something needs to be done. And a note on a door basically saying if you break it it's your fault, come on, especially when the door is broken already. The window sill above the kitchen sink was dirty. And the ledge below the window on the steps going upstairs was very dusty, I bet it hadn't been wiped in months. The ceiling fans also have no remotes anymore. So you aren't able to adjust the speed. There was only a very small broom and no vacum. Big deal with all the sand. However, when dishwasher was replaced we mentioned it to the property manager and she gave us a vacuum on the spot! Lastly, the chairs in the bunk room were not there. To end on a positive note the dishwasher broke and was replaced in about 24 hrs. The communication with the owner and the propery manager was very prompt.

stay at big panda

House had great accommodations for our group..! The bunk room was perfect for the group of kids. we especially appreciated the stand alone full bed separate from the bunk beds for the 17 year old in our group..! Location was perfect.. very easy access to the shops. The tram service was awesome. My only complaint is that the house had no beach essentials. I was hoping for maybe a cooler bag or some beach toys, being that it is a beach community. Hate buying that stuff just to leave it behind for us that flew in. I did ask for beach towels, which were dropped off. We appreciated that. Our host was quick to communicate. Also would have been helpful if there was a bottle of clorox wipes or some spray for quick cleanups.

Best Bachelorette Trip

We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette weekend and it was perfect. We wanted something relaxing and low-key, and this house was exactly that—beautiful, spotless, and super spacious for our group. The location was ideal: walkable to cute restaurants, and the tram picked us up right in front of the house and took us straight to the beach. It was so easy to get around the whole area.The host was amazing—so easy to communicate with and really flexible with our arrival and departure times. We had the best time and can’t wait to come back for a real vacation. Highly recommend!

Can't wait to go back!

We already miss the beautifully appointed 162 Flip Flop Lane! Lounging in the fabulous hammock rockers on the front porch; working on puzzles on the large coffee table; the easy walk to The Hidden Lantern (a delightful local bookshop!), Amavida (local coffee/tea place), or the other local shops; jumping on the tram at the end of the driveway to head to the beach; cooking dinner and laughing at the large dining table as a family; then showers and crawling into extra comfy beds and sheets to sleep before waking up to do it all over again!A few things that worked well for us/suggestions: - Walmart deliveries were convenient and fast directly to the front porch - We didn't realize there weren't beach towels; pack your own or have them delivered by Amazon or Walmart - a fraction of the price you'll pay in local stores - I cannot overstate how amazing the location is. The sundries shop is a 3 minute walk. Walking to the dining and shopping areas in Rosemary Beach is easy and fast. We drove from our home state but otherwise, would not have needed a car. - LaCo was a restaurant all three generations found something to enjoy. Highly recommend the blackened grilled fish tacos! - The Hidden Lantern has a great selection of books, puzzles, stationery, games, and gifts. - La Crema was fun for an afternoon snack of tapas and chocolate fondue.Sharon was highly responsive and easy to work with - we can't wait to go back!
