Super cute little bungalow! Easy parking, loved the little lights on the walkway and the tree. Gorgeous location with beach access directly across the street. Aldi and Publix are nearby if you need anything and it’s a quick drive over to PCB for tons of restaurants. Only ‘complaint’ is the indoor shower is either the gates of hell hot or Antarctic cold, there is no in between lol, but after an entire day on the beach a cold shower was refreshing lol.

Perfect for a small family

We are a family of four and the rental was perfect for us! The parking is right in front of the home. Beach access is LITERALLY across the street. I timed it at one time and it takes 2 minutes from the door to the sand. The outdoor shower is great! We were very happy with the rental and plan to stay again

Laguna beach

Fantastic place to stay for people with less mobility. The beach was just across the street and everything in the home is on one level. The second bedroom is a bit small but otherwise great place to stay. Not enough room for a table but has counter and barstools. It worked ok. Being so close to the beach was best part!!

Quiet residential area

Right across from beach access. Just right for our needs to have quiet comfortable place to sleep after relaxing all day on the beach. Comfortable beds! Close to Pier Park for restaurants etc but away from hustle and bustle. We have stayed here before and will again.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

As children we vacationed here with our families and have always wanted to own a vacation home in Panama City. We were hooked on this property the first time we saw it. We loved the classic look and feel of the home and the fact that it is directly across the street from a public beach access walkway made this the perfect choice for us.

What makes this property unique

Did I say this property is directly across from the beach? Our cottage is located in an old residential beach area so you don't have the crowds that come with the large condos, however we are a 5 minute drive from Pier Park, the hottest new area in PC with shopping, restaurants, a movie theater, amusement rides, live entertainment, and of course the huge County pier for those who like to fish.
