This homey, welcoming rental can accommodate up to eight guests for the family vacation, couples retreat, or friends reunion of a lifetime. Upon check-in, you’ll find three cute bedrooms ready and waiting for you to unpack and feel right at home. The primary suite comes with a king size bed, TV, soothing coastal palettes, and nice views.

If you need even more room for guests, there’s a bonus queen sleeper sofa in the living room!
We know you’re probably focused on the picturesque beach just a quick stroll away, but there are also some pretty great features to enjoy at home. The spacious, open living room with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows is the perfect place to connect with your family or friends and unwind. Relax on one of the multiple couches and enjoy the spectacular view of the deep blue Gulf of Mexico waters right outside. When you get hungry, the fully furnished kitchen is right next to the living room. You’ll find all the appliances and cooking utensils you need to whip up some delicious meals for your whole group. Pop your sea salt filled clothes into the stacked washer/dryer! When the food’s ready, gather together in the bright dining room around the six-person dining room table to enjoy your meal and great conversation. Now: time for the best part! The gorgeous Panama City Beach weather and natural scenery. We have so many options for fully savoring it. Step out into the outdoor patio and lounge in the sun chairs to catch some rays. And getting to the beach literally couldn’t be easier. Just use your private beach access boardwalk to stroll down to the white sands and turquoise waters awaiting you. This is the ultimate way to enjoy a memorable vacation in PCB paradise.

this is the perfect beach house for a family. walk out the back door right onto the beach! Plenty of fun restaurants and shops nearby, but also far enough away from the big hotels so that there are no crowds to deal with. Definitely recommend this spot

This is a beautiful hidden gem. Photo does no justice and the sunsets here are just gorgeous. Short walks to the beach with lots of privacy. The home well kept and very clean. It felt just like home. Our home away from home and we will definitely come here again for future visits.

We had the pleasure of staying here for our 20th wedding anniversary and we had the best time! The home is so warm and inviting and the views are spectacular! We were able to watch the dolphins each morning and sunsets every evening. The laid back feel of this home and location was exactly what we were looking for. We definitely want to come back in Spring or Fall so we can enjoy the beach and water a bit more.

We’d love to welcome you back for another visit soon!
Overall loved the location of the beach house. With direct access to the beach and the deck that had furniture to site and relax and watch or hear the ocean. The house had terrazzo flooring which made cleaning the sand easy. The furnishings are a little dated, but it didn't impact the stay. Loved the open concept of the Livingroom ,dinning room, and kitchen. Would definitely stay in this beach house again.

We loved this property. The kitchen is retro and I thought very cool. We loved that it was direct access to the beach and this part of the beach was not crowded at all. Unfortunately there was a double red flag 2 days we were there. A pool would have been the only thing to make the stay absolutely perfect.

The location of this residence is perfect if you are the family looking to get away, yet close enough to restaraunts, shopping and events.The home itself is clean with a great layout, but most importantly beautiful private views of the gulf. Our family enjoyed the location and seclusion of the area the most.A touch of updates could top it off, but then again we were there for the location and space. For 5 people it hit the the spot. Highly recommend for a family that wants to be in panama yet not in the middle of adolescent parties. Major thanks to the upkeep of the property as well. Could not be any more spotless.

Great location with an amazing view of the beach. The view was better than the pictures, most unusual. Property was well equipped and very clean. Kitchen and bathroom were dated. Understandable given the reasonable price. Had one issue with the electric that went unresolved during our stay. I had to get an extension cord and an adapter so the TV and internet would work.

Reviewer Comments:
The rental was great and nice location. Blue Swell was very helpful and will book through them the next time. The only problem I have is I have never stayed in a rental that the owner had a doorbell camera. I understand him wanting guest at a minimum. However, we had family staying down the street that could not get into their condo early. One of our guest let them come in to change clothes to go on to beach while waiting for their condo to get ready. I understood the policy, but I thought it was a bit extreme to get a eviction warning because we let them change clothes in our rental. Then the grandmother came to say hi to her granddaughter and walk to beach, which made me very nervous that we would get evicted. We were having a wedding on the beach and no events was held at this condo. the brides sister came over to fix her hair before the wedding which also made me very nervous that the owner would make us leave. I get it that he only wants the people there that was suppose to be there and wish he would have had Blue Swell ask what was going on before an eviction warning. I am 61 and know how to follow rules. Having the door bell camera was a bit extreme for vacation property.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the rental and found the location convenient. We're also happy to know that Blue Swell was helpful during your stay and that you would book with us again.
We apologize for the stress caused by the doorbell camera and the eviction warning. While we understand the owner's desire to monitor the property, we agree that communication is key. It would have been better to clarify the situation before escalating to a warning. We appreciate your understanding of the policy and will share your feedback with the owner to improve how we handle these situations in the future. We hope to provide a more relaxed experience next time.
