There are 2 piers in Panama and both cost $3 to walk them. The one closest to Pier Park is further out into the Gulf so it's more worth it if you can only do 1 pier. They do stamp your hand so you can go on and off it all day. On the pier a lot of people fish so watch for them hooks. From what I was told to fish in Florida you need a salt water and a fresh water licence in order to fish in the different waters. There are also signs posted on the pier about how to handle a situation if sea turtles get caught. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/8021/ddcd0cb2-62a0-40dc-b6f2-f07abd9bc12c.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Edgewater Gulf Beach 16 min walk \- 0.9 miles - Hombre Golf Club 11 min walk \- 0.6 miles - Golf Course at Edgewater 12 min walk \- 0.7 miles ### Getting around - Panama City, FL (ECP-Northwest Florida Beaches Intl.) 24 min drive ### Restaurants - Chick-fil-A 20 min walk - Starbucks 17 min walk - Whataburger 19 min walk - Culver's 19 min walk - Beef 'O' Brady's 5 min walk ## Frequently asked questions ### Does ⭐2 Community Pools~Fenced Playground~Dog Friendly~The Sand Castle have a pool? ### Is ⭐2 Community Pools~Fenced Playground~Dog Friendly~The Sand Castle pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at ⭐2 Community Pools~Fenced Playground~Dog Friendly~The Sand Castle? ### What time is check-in at ⭐2 Community Pools~Fenced Playground~Dog Friendly~The Sand Castle? ### What time is check-out at ⭐2 Community Pools~Fenced Playground~Dog Friendly~The Sand Castle? ### Where is ⭐2 Community Pools~Fenced Playground~Dog Friendly~The Sand Castle located? ## Have a question?

Perfect place for a larger family. Plenty of room through the house. Our kids were very happy. Close walk to pool. Our only issue was the air thermostat kept going up during the day making it a little uncomfortable at night and during the day. Wasn’t able to figure out how to disable it, but we work our way through it. We would definitely go back! ##### Erica W.

The only complaint I would say we had was the cleanliness of the floors. Our feet were turning black if we walked on the floors barefoot. We mopped the floors and it helped. The carpet was stained. The screened in patio was a little unkempt with grass growing through. Everything else was great. Extra linens. Close to the beach. We had a great stay. Would stay again! ##### Emaly J.

Only issue was main bath sink clogged when we arrived so someone had to have known. The flooring has been neglected of cleaning, otherwise, our trip was fantastic. Would definitely stay again. ##### Teresa H. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gretchen K. 16 Mar 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Very gross carpet The two main bedrooms were nice. The third room with bunk beds had carpet and it was awful. So gross and dirty. Not sure why it was not replaced. They charged us 400$ per fee for two dogs…. Didn’t seem accurate especially due to the condition of the carpet; all other floors were Vinal wood. The front door was difficult to close and lock. When we called about it they mentioned that it has happened before. Not sure why the delay in fixing it. Lastly, someone controls the air conditioning. Several times during our week stay we would notice the house was 76-78 degrees. The air was shut off. Even though we would set it at 70. ##### Gretchen K. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Billie H., - 21 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### If only the weather had been as pleasing as the house! 😂 We were very pleased with this house, the weather however was not very cooperative. Lol. The rooms are spacious. There are two king beds, a full size sleeper sofa, a full size bed, a twin over twin bunk, and a pack n play available in the closet, which we didn’t need but it’s there. The linens were fresh and clean. Plenty of dishes. The only thing wrong was the shower head in the bathroom by the garage. The water pressure was amazing but it seemed to be blowing the shower head apart. It’s one of the removable heads which is also amazing but it didn’t seem to hold well against that much pressure and kept blowing apart spraying water everywhere. Other then that I saw no issues at all. I did let them know about it so hopefully they can get it replaced soon. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation!!!! 😁 ##### Billie H.
