About this property
Dog Friendly, Private Pool, Close to the Beach + Free Attraction Tickets!
Looking to get away from it all, while being in the middle of it? Need a place that feels like home for kids, grandparents, couples, teenagers and doggies, too? Experience Leo’s Hideaway, a dog-friendly beach retreat in Laguna Beach, FL (Panama City Beach) with a Private pool (with option to heat), Screened porch and large, Fenced yard, with gulf and lake views.
This is truly a family retreat where you can be steps from the action, but also feel completely insulated with your own travel group. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach cottage is very private. Leo’s Hideaway is tucked away at the end of a long palm tree-lined driveway. Relax on the large screened-in porch overlooking your private pool, fenced back yard and Lake Pierna. Listen to the waves as you have coffee in the morning or watching the sunset. There are also Gulf views from the porch!
Once inside the property, everyone will immediately find their own space and make themselves at home. It’s easy to settle in, with everything at your fingertips in this open floor plan. Choose between a king bedroom with a dedicated full bathroom, 2 queen bedrooms, or a cool hidden bunk room in the hallway with a set of twin-over-twin bunks! There is an additional full bathroom accessible to the other bedrooms.
Located on the quiet west end of Panama City Beach, FL in Laguna Beach, this beach cottage is proof that location means everything! 0.1 mile to the Gorgeous emerald waters and white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, 0.2 mile to Carousel Supermarket and 0.2 mile to Thomas’ Donuts!
The living area is equipped with comfortable loungers and sofa, along with a 55” Smart TV. The living area leads out to the screened-in porch, which has more comfortable furniture and a dining table for four. The fully-equipped kitchen, which is completely open to the living area, has an island with 4 bar stools, so the whole gang can hang out while preparing snacks for the beach or dinner for the family.
Leo’s Hideaway is also just 3.8 miles to Pier Park, with lots of shopping, dining, and entertainment options, 4 miles to Publix or Winn-Dixie, and 7 miles to Rosemary Beach, FL. You can experience everything Scenic 30A has to offer for a fraction of the cost of staying in Rosemary, Watercolor, or Seaside. Plus, you can retreat to your quiet oasis after you have had your fill of the crowds. Challenge friends at Top Golf or be dazzled by the swashbuckling fun at the Pirate’s Dinner Show. With so much to see and do, every moment in Panama City Beach is an adventure waiting to happen.

This was a great place for my family to stay with our two dogs. They are large German shorthaired pointers and we’re allowed to stay at this house. There is a giant backyard for them to play in a beautiful swimming pool. The only thing negative I can say about this property is that the living room is rather small. The check-in and checkout process were very easy, and the benchmark partners were very communicative before and after my stay.

Very good size home with a great driveway and nice porch area. The walking distancing to the beach is awesome! Plus there’s a short walking distance to the grocery store or to the donuts.
What a great property with a perfect location. 1/2 block from the beach can’t be beat. The house was spacious, well-equipped, and I my favorite part was the screened in porch.
This property was fantastic for our weekend getaway! The house was well equipped with most everything needed to cook meals and enjoy the weekend. The kids loved the pool! The house is located a short walk to the beach and is in a great neighborhood with a cute market and bakery/ice creamery down the street. We will definitely try to make it back here again!
The house was perfectly located near the beach by about a 2 min walk from the beach. It is tucked back where you enjoy privacy with a great pool and fenced in backyard for our dog. A nice screened in porch good for eating or just relaxing. The house was very clean. This is a great little spot and we will be staying here again.

House is located super close to the beach. Nice property and amenities. It’s not huge but comfortable for sure. Easy to deal with. Could use the gas grill replaced but overall a excellent experience.
Took my family to Leo’s hideaway for Labor Day weekend and it was an amazing experience. The property management group was very responsive when I elected to have the pool heated the day of check-in. The property was clean and in close proximity to the beach. The pool was really nice and the house is close to several restaurants. It is also minutes away, which made it really convenient.
Love the house we will rent it again It was 3.5 miles away from all the action which was great it was nice and quiet very nice piece of property perfect the dogs love the backyard and we love the Porch and the pool my husband and I are thinking about renting again in October

We had a wonderful stay at Leo's Hideaway! We spent a lot of time in that amazing pool and our pups Buddy and Taffy loved the huge yard. The screened in porch was a great spot to get out of the sun for a bit and I even set up my laptop to get some work done out there. The house had everything we needed for a great week! Can't wait to stay there again!

Very nice little spot- really close to the beach and can easily walk to the beach, over to the supermarket or the donut shop. The home was very clean and had everything that we needed. The kids enjoyed the pool, of course. Easy communication. I would rent again.
Perfect bests describes our stay so much we booked again for next year for an additional week. Hosts and staff were excellent in responding to all our questions promptly. Amenities, location, and housing was one of the overall better stays we’ve been to. Beach was in our sights and was less than a city block for easy access. We so hated to leave but we were blessed to have stayed. Thanks to the owners for a little slice of paradise.
