Nice Vacation spot!

The beach house was very nice. Our family of 5 along with both Grandparents were more than comfortable. We would definitely considering renting again. We've been to Panama City Beach before and know how beautiful the water can be, unfortunately storms messed with the water this year. We had an amazing time. 30 sec walk and your feet are in the water. My biggest complaint would have to be it was very busy being right next to a Public Beach Access.

Beautiful Property and the views are amazing!

We stayed in her home with our oldest daughter and grandchildren. The home is extremely beautiful and well taken care of. The views are just amazing! The beds well that is normally the concern when staying away from home. The beds are amazing! Super comfy! If you need anything which we didn’t she is extremely responsive! She goes above and beyond to assure your stay is perfect in her home. We all feel truly blessed that she shared her place with us. We will be booking with her again for next year as well. Just perfect all the way around!

Memorable

We thoroughly enjoyed our winter getaway! From start to finish it was memorable. Charlotte was wonderful from the get go. She recommended quite a few restaurants and we tried about 6 and were very pleased with the food and atmosphere. The townhome is lovely. You can’t beat the view and anything and everything you can think of is there for your use. Sleeping to the sound of the waves at night is so relaxing and enjoying coffee from the balcony or deck is a great way to start the day. The sunsets were spectacular. Our son was able to catch red fish and many other species (even a crab) right out back with his bass rod. We will definitely be back. Thank you Charlotte!

Perfect location!!

We came with 3 mamas and 4 teenage kids and this was the perfect place for us! First, the location could not have been anymore perfect. It was close enough to the craziness of the Pier Park area that the kids could easily get there and yet close enough to the beautiful area of 30a with all of it’s trendy and fun restaurants. In less than 15 minutes you can be in Pier Park or Rosemary Beach! I highly recommend the Carousel grocery store which is a 2 minute drive. I never have to go back to Wal-Mart!!! It is a public beach which originally worried me, but we were there during spring break and we always had plenty of room to ourselves. So much better than those awful high rises. Literally, you walk out on the deck and you are on the beach. I could have my morning coffee and watch the kids on the beach. The house itself has been updated. It has the issues that a house that was built in the 70s might have, small rooms/hallways, but they have made good use of all of the space. All of the appliances worked well and gave us no trouble. The house is well stocked with all of the extras you might not think of when packing. There are plenty of beach chairs/umbrellas/toys. The owners are responsive and helpful. We haven’t made our plans for next year but if we come back to this area we will try to stay here!!!!

Right to the water

Beach right out the back door. Perfect set up in the unit. It is also far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The units are very close together and there were some rude young men two decks down using bad language but it didn’t last long. Very good stay!!

Great location!

What an amazing property! This townhome had everything that we needed (and more) to make our one week out of the year at the beach an amazing one! The fact that the beach was only a few steps away from our deck was the whole reason we stayed here and it did not disappoint. What I didn't anticipate was how beautiful the nights on the beach would be, wow. My parents came down for a few days and cooked crab legs and shrimp, which we were able to eat out on the deck while enjoying the sunset. Great location! Great and responsive host!
