Softball World Series/family vacation

This house was perfect for us. It was immaculately clean, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed and more. Lillie thought of every detail, and even had some extra items available that you don’t see in every vacation home. It’s a very short walk to the beautiful beach, and also close to lots of shopping and great places to eat. Lillie was a wonderful host. She made lots of great restaurant and activity recommendations, and made herself available for any questions we had. I would definitely recommend her home to anyone looking to stay in Panama City Beach.

A home away from home

Very nice, clean, newer appliances and TV. We had everything we needed and even things we didn’t know we needed like a bodyboard, beach chairs and a cart to cart everything to the beach. The host seems very thoughtful in making sure we had everything we needed. It made us feel very cared for. I will definitely be staying here again!!

Super clean and cozy

My husband, 16 year old son, our fur baby and I stayed during spring break! The Flip Flop Inn was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the private beach! There are several restaurants within walking distance that were pet friendly. Lillie was great to work with very responsive when I couldn’t find the entry instructions in my email. We highly recommend this home away from home!

Perfect getaway

Good location. Close to the beach. This place provides everything you need. Beach chairs, beach towels. A wagon to haul your stuff. The house is well equiped, having esentials that you often have to run and get. She even had popcorn, a few cans of food, a little coffee to get you started, shampoo, and cream rinse!! She was helpful and always responsive. I would definitely book with her again. 5 stars all the way!

The best time

We had the best time during our stay at Bid-a-Wee beach! It was only a short walk from the beach and had a private entrance which helped keep crowds minimal. Mrs. Lillie was a great host and the condo was incredibly clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We’ll definitely be returning customers.

Great Vacation. Can't wait to go back!!!

This property was perfect! Me and my friends rented it for my bachelorette party. It's within walking distance to the beach and only a 5 minute drive to Pier Park. The rooms are surprisingly spacious. The bunk beds are fulls/queens so they comfortably sleep 4 people and the king bed could easily sleep three people. The furnishes were great. You can tell everything is new and updated. Great kitchen, bathroom, and living room. The owner provides most everything you need. We did end up running out of paper goods but only because we had so many people staying there. It was nothing a quick target run couldn't fix. The house has anything you might need, an outdoor shower, beach chairs, lawn games, coffee machine, kitchen appliances, beach towels, Wi-Fi, Netflix, Hulu, shampoo, conditioner, make-up remover wipes and so much more. Overall it was a great stay and I would definitely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Lillie Hamil

Host profile image
I am married and have two wonderful children, ages 11 and 17. I have always been a beach lover growing up in Jupiter, FL. Moved to the Panhandle and fell in love with Panama City Beach. Just knew I needed a vacation home close to the beach for my family and share with others. Everyone needs to experience the beautiful Gulf of Mexico's, beautiful emerald, green water and the legendary pure white beach sand.
It's all about creating special memories with friends and families to last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

One of the Best locations in Panama City Beach. Easy access to and from property. Private parking at your front door (no elevators). One block (2 min. walk) to the beach, less than 2 miles - Pier Park -(shopping, dining, kids entertainment), Gulf World (swim w/dolphins and or watch the shows), Shipwreck Island Water Park, Wonder Works, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Rocket Lanes (bowling, skating, arcade), Axe throwing and Escape room. So much fun and entertainment near by or just relax at the beach, private code gate for only Bid-a-wee Beach Community.

What makes this property unique

This property is a hidden gem in Panama City Beach. So close to everything and steps (2 minute walk) to one of the coded private gated beach access for just the Bid -a -wee neighborhood. Bid A Wee beach is close to a mile of undeveloped beach front. Which is rare for Panama City Beach. If you decide to drive to the beach access, always plenty of parking and beach sand- so you don't have to sit on top of your neighbors. Not to mention entertainment is directly across the street with the Hidden Lagoon Golf and Racetrack. Funland is also within walking distance (arcades, ice cream, along with serving breakfast, lunch and dinner). Within a few minutes you can be at the best shopping, dining, entertainment, fishing, parks and ball fields. During Thunder Beach, sit back at the property and watch all the bikes go by or join them - property is one block from Front Beach. Located on Nautilus and Millcole Ave. Nautilus Street also connects to Front Beach Rd and Philip Griffitts Sr Pkwy (which makes Pier Park, Gulf World, and more easily accessible - by avoid the congestion on Panama City Beach Parkway).
