We could not have been more pleased with the property. It is in an outstanding location with incredible views/access to the beach. The property itself is very nice - roomy and well laid-out. Appliances were great and it offered ample storage. Communication was easy and quick - they were very quick on responses to questions. We will absolutely stay there again - highly recommended.
If you’re looking for direct beach access, wonderful sunset views, and centrally located, this is your destination! Fantastic hosts, and very accommodating. We cherished our time there, and hope to be back!

This means so much—thank you! I’m so glad you were able to enjoy the sunsets and everything the location has to offer. It was truly a pleasure hosting you, and we’d absolutely love to have you back anytime!
We had a small wedding on the beach access behind the house as well as a small reception inside the house. The accommodations were perfect for this. The host answered all questions promptly and made the process simple. The house was clean and larger than we expected!Will definitely be back, maybe this time for an anniversary trip!

How we love and appreciate our perfect five star reviews. This beachfront beachside house has remarkable unobstructed gulf views. Step off the balcony onto the sugar white sand and the emerald green waters of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.

We agree that this very spacious home right on the Snow White sand with forever views of the gulf is a very rare find. We are so blessed to own it and are so thankful for those who enjoy it. It is a business to us and we do everything possible to keep it well renovated and updated. Quite simply, we think it doesn’t get better than staying here on the gulfside with unobstructed views of the beach and gulf. The huge living area and two balconies make it perfect for gathering and conversation while making memories of a lifetime.
We had a wonderful stay and the home is absolutely gorgeous! The beach and the view is amazing!

Thank you for staying with us, Jacqueline! We’re so glad you enjoyed the incredible beachfront views — they truly are something so special. We do ask guests to limit leaving doors and windows open for long periods since the ocean air can cause such moisture damage and even rust, so while they’re able to be opened and enjoyed for the breeze or sound of the waves, we do try to limit the exposure to avoid any damage to the inside of the home. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back for another relaxing stay by the beach!
Perfect beach location and perfect for a large family. This was our third time staying at this home.

About the host
Hosted by Beverly Taylor
Hi! I’m Beverly. My husband is a retired Coca-Cola bottling manager, and I spent my career in education—first as a teacher and principal, and eventually serving as Assistant Superintendent for Pike County Schools in Alabama. After retiring in 1989, we began investing in rental properties in Troy, a charming college town, and have proudly remained in the residential and commercial rental business for over 30 years.
Today, we also own and personally manage several beachfront and Laguna Beach properties in beautiful Panama City Beach, Florida. We’ve poured our hearts into these homes—especially this one, which was our personal beach retreat until July 27, 2017. We genuinely care about creating a quality experience for each guest and take great pride in maintaining our homes to the highest standard.
You’ll also hear from my wonderful daughter-in-law, Lyndsay, who helps manage the property and is often your go-to for communication. Between the two of us, we’re committed to making sure you feel right at home.
Please take a moment to read some of our guest reviews—most are perfect five stars! We’re honored to share our little slice of paradise with you.
Why they chose this property
We chose the Laguna Beach neighborhood because it truly offers the best of both worlds. Tucked away on the quieter west end of Panama City Beach, it’s peaceful and laid-back, yet still just minutes from the vibrant shops and restaurants at Pier Park and the scenic communities along 30A.
One of the things we love most about this location is being right on the Gulf—no busy streets to cross, no elevators to wait on, just step off the balcony and you’re on the beach. There’s something so special about sitting on the back deck and watching our grandchildren play in the waves and run across the soft, snow white sand.
The home itself is incredibly spacious and thoughtfully laid out. The main level features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area—perfect for gathering with family—with a half bath, convenient storage, and a 10x29 ft balcony that leads directly down to the beach. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms, two full baths, a laundry room, and another large balcony with breathtaking views of the Gulf.
We’ve furnished this home with high-quality pieces to reflect the care we put into every detail. It’s more than just a rental—it’s our family’s beloved beach home, and we’re honored to share it with guests who value comfort, beauty, and unforgettable coastal memories.
What makes this property unique
This Gulf-front retreat is a true coastal gem. Perfectly situated directly on the beach, it offers unobstructed views, two spacious balconies, and the kind of layout that’s made for memory-making.
The master suite is a standout feature—complete with a king bed, a large private bath, and its own balcony overlooking the Gulf. It’s the perfect place to wake up to the sound of waves or unwind after a day in the sun. The second bedroom features a beautiful queen poster bed, and the third has a king bed and plenty of space to settle in. The living area includes two queen sleeper sofas.
The main level living area offers an open-concept layout ideal for gathering, flowing from the kitchen to the dining and living spaces, and out onto a Gulf-front balcony with stairs leading directly to the sand.
The home has been thoughtfully updated inside and out and is beautifully furnished for comfort and style. With three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and quick access to both Pier Park and 30A, it’s a standout option for families, couples, or friends traveling together.
We feel incredibly thankful to own such a special place on the beach and would be honored to share it with you.
