Lovely Home

Overall our stay at Wanderawhile was wonderful. The house is beautiful, the kitchen is well appointed, and they even provided a bike for each adult and child in our group. Since biking in this area is a necessity not an option it was great that we didn't have to rent bikes. Potential guests should know that the only pool you have access to is the small Treetop pool. And the other pools enforce this. Also, if you plan to rent chairs and umbrellas for the beach do so as soon as you book your vacation. Two comments for the owner - there is a very bad smell at the top of the stairs. Perhaps due to water damage? I wish that would have been taken care of before we arrived. Also, the mattress on the lower bunk bed in the room with the King bed is stained. I suggest a mattress pad if you are not replacing that mattress.

Excellent vacation stay

We had a wonderful week at Wanderawhile. The house had everything we needed. The pool was right around the corner. We road our bikes to the beach, which was actually a lot of fun. The grocery store was just down the road. It was nice to sit on the front porch and have coffee in the morning. We liked the quietness of Treetops. I would highly recommend Wanderawhile

Great spit

This house is great and the hosts are very accommodating. It is very clean (we have high standards) and newer construction. The location is close to several beaches and the owner provides bikes so you don’t need to drive anywhere. We have younger kids and the roads are low traffic and safe for them to ride their bikes. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Home!

Everything about Wanderawhile 30A was wonderful! The house was clean, well maintained, and had some "extras" we've not found in other rentals, like beach towels, more kitchen appliances, and ample linens. Greg and Norma were so easy to communicate with and always very responsive. Would definitely go back!

Cozy beach retreat

We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others. The property is not located in the town of Rosemary Beach, but is a nice/short bike ride away. It is well positioned near many beaches, including ones with public access. There are plenty of dining options, grocery stores, and shops nearby. We rented a car and recommend having one. The home itself is cozy and comfortable. The hosts were lovely and responded quickly to our questions and concerns.

The perfect vacation house!

Greg and Norma have done such a wonderful job with this property! The house is gorgeous and was perfect for our two families with 5 kids between us. I was so impressed with how clean it was too! If you are planning to rent this house, here are some things to note: The tram that picks up and takes you to seacrest beach and the shops needs to be asked to Pick up at TT2, but they will actually pick you up right in the driveway if they see you standing there, so you don’t have to walk down to the tram stop. Seacrest beach is extremely crowded, so we only went there one day. However, if you don’t mind a two minute drive to Inlet beach access, this beach is very big and there’s much more room to spread out and it’s much less crowded. There are also no stairs to get down to the beach which makes it easier for lugging beach gear and kids. There are nice restrooms and showers here as well. Parking is an issue so you’ll want to arrive before 10:00 am to get a spot. We did enjoy taking the tram to the shops. Walking around seacrest and rosemary beach is absolutely gorgeous. Alys beach is a bit longer of a walk, but there is a cute playground for young kids there too. Overall we love the Treetop neighborhood because of how quiet it is compared to the surrounding neighborhood. It truly feels like you are staying in a rain forest, and it is a refreshing escape. We highly recommend staying here!

Amazing location, amazing home, you won't be disappointed

What an amazing location and perfect retreat for those looking to relax at the beach. Access to a private and public beach are all within 1/2 mile from the residence, you may either walk or take the community provided tram. You can also use one of the many provided bikes to explore Rosemary beach. Shopping and food are a few minutes away in any direction. And your guests home is as welcoming and stocked as you can hope for. 5/5 stars, we will absolutely be returning.

Wonderful trip to 30A

We were very impressed with the house. The location is farther away from the beach than we expected but the beach tram made it pretty easy. One of the adult bikes was pretty horrible but we made do. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need. I would 100 % recommend this house.

Family Spring Break

We had a great stay, as a family of 5 (kids age 4,7 and 9) the home was beautiful yet comfortable and clean. Access to beach was easier than anticipated. Beds were super comfy (I’ve been to others with terrible mattresses). Shopping and dining an easy 5 minute bike ride or 20 minute walk! Only thing I would have loved was if the community pool was heated, which sounds like something that may happen in the future! The water was too chilly to swim when we were there end of March. My kids enjoyed the train set on the one rainy day we had. Home was well stocked! Thanks again!

Great family vacation rental

This property is a great place for families to stay! It is on a quiet street but so close to all the shops/beaches. We really enjoyed taking the bikes around town. One thing that would make the house even better is a gas grill, having to mess with charcoal was a bit time consuming. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again!

Fabulous wedding weekend

The home is beautiful and spacious for all 10 of us, the kitchen had everything we needed! The bikes were a huge plus! We rode together all over the neighborhood, especially enjoying the beaches and playgrounds. It was perfect for entertaining our extended family as well. We went to a bonfire on the beach one night and a gorgeous wedding at the Pearl hotel another, all so close to our weekend home. Thanks for treasured memories ❤️

5 Star Diamond

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed staying at this vacation home. If you have family, this place is for you! From all the toys/games, books, puzzles, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, wagon, beach toys, bikes, the owners were very thoughtful having all these at our finger tips..... We didn't have to worry about bringing all this extra stuff because it was already here! The kitchen was well stocked as well. The tram to the beach was very close from the home and the tram drivers didn't have a problem bringing us right to the house after a long day at the beach. All the drivers were wonderful. Location was very close to all the shops, restaurants etc... There is quite a bit of construction going on in the community which wouldn't stop me from booking but thought that should be noted. Excellent home you won't be disappointed staying here.

Family of 9 Vacation

We spent five nights here. The bikes and the bike trailers were by far the best part of the entire trip. The kids rode bikes the entire time and we took them out as much as we could. The proximity to the beach was great and the pool was super awesome with shade for the hot days. My wife and I did complete one of the puzzles during our stay, the house was stocked with almost everything you could imagine. Plenty of board games and the direct tv was awesome as well. There is a house directly across the street that was actively under construction during our entire stay but it’s about 80% complete and shouldn’t be an issue for the future. There were plenty of beach towels for everyone and toys for the kids, truly a great place for a family or two families even. About a 15 minute drive to Pier Park in Panama City and we also ate at the Shade Bar and Grill one evening that was nice and kid friendly with the outdoor seating.

Wonderful Family Home

This was a perfect house for our family of 4 plus two teenage friends of our kids. The house was very clean and had a great open feeling for hanging out downstairs. We played games at the large dining table. The home had everything we needed, and we appreciated the little thoughtful items we found in the storage. They had sand toys, kid bikes, beach chairs and umbrella, toys for little kids (even though ours were older, they still set up the train track). They had adult bikes, beach towels, games, and everything we needed for the kitchen to cook. The location was amazing because you had close access to 30A at Seacrest but you could get to the home from 98. This helps so much with traffic and made it much easier to drive to play golf or do activities in PCB. The grocery store Publix was SO close and convenient, about a 3 minute drive on 98. We used the tram to get to the beach, the tram stop was 2 houses down, so very close. The kids rode the bicycles everywhere. It had a very nice private pool that we relaxed in, and in the late afternoon it had much appreciated shade. We loved the location. This is our 3rd time to stay at Seacrest and this location was our favorite. The homeowners had great communication and any questions or concerns we had were addressed quickly. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

Excellent vacation home!

This house was perfect for our family! The kitchen was well-stocked with all we needed to do our own cooking. Chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys were available. Because Seacrest Beach was so crowded this time of year, we enjoyed Inlet Beach which was an easy five-minute drive from the house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home!

Why The Owner Chose Wanderawhile30A

We enjoy the freedom to walk or bike ride to local restaurants and shops. Hence, Wanderawhile30A. The location is key to easy access to 30A and the many beaches without the issue of the traffic jams during the high season.

The TreeTop gated community in Seacrest Beach offers the peacefulness and privacy we look forward to in addition to the close proximity to Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach. We can easily walk or bicycle to many restaurants, coffee shops, shopping center and of course the candy store as often as we'd like. This property offered the best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

What Makes This House Unique

Easy access to both 30A and Highway 98 allowing quick access during peak vacation times! Secluded from the high traffic areas of 30A.
