Your Laguna Beach Getaway Awaits
Tucked away in Laguna Beach, this beautifully remodeled vintage coastal cottage is your perfect escape to white sands, clear waters, and Gulf breezes. Sleeps 7, but we recommend 4-5 guests for the best experience. We’re happy to host all 7, but expect a cozy stay. With plenty of spaces to unwind—the pool, beds, sofas, rocking chairs, and porch—you'll find comfort at every turn. Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout keeps everything clean and fresh.

3 Bedrooms | 1 Full Bathroom (Jetted Tub) | Private Outdoor Shower

Thoughtfully Designed Living Spaces
The front porch is the perfect morning coffee spot with two padded Adirondack chairs where you can enjoy the peaceful neighborhood and the sound of waves.

The living room is designed for relaxation with a large Roku TV where you can stream Netflix, Hulu, and more with your login. The space includes a plush 3-person couch, a leather swivel reclining chair, two comfortable wicker chairs with cushions, and a farmhouse credenza for storage and style.

Bedrooms – Sleep in Comfort
The master suite features a 14" king memory foam mattress with luxury cotton sheets, blackout curtains for a restful sleep, and a Roku TV. Enjoy your own private entrance to the pool through the French doors. Two dressers, nightstands, and a sound machine complete the space.

The second bedroom offers a 14" queen memory foam mattress with luxury cotton sheets, a custom shiplap headboard, corner shelves, and a dresser for storage. A Roku TV is also included.

The third bedroom is perfect for kids, featuring solid wood bunk beds with a double mattress on the bottom and a twin on top, along with a dresser for storage.

Backyard & Pool – Your Private Oasis
The outdoor space is the highlight of this home. Whether you’re lounging poolside, grilling, or playing cornhole, there’s something for everyone. The private heated pool is 20x10 feet with a depth of 10 feet. There is plenty of lounge seating, an umbrella for shade, a charcoal grill for BBQ nights, and a cornhole set for added fun.

The pool is heated with a gas heater, making it warm quickly and efficiently. Unlike electric heaters, which take longer, this one ensures comfort even on cooler days. Pool heating is available for $45 per day—please request before booking if you’d like it on for your stay. Due to nature, occasional tree debris may land in the pool. A skimmer is provided for in-between cleaning if needed.

Outdoor Shower – A Refreshing Must-Try
Perfect for rinsing off after a beach or pool day, the private outdoor shower adds to the coastal experience.

FREE Beach Gear Included
A beach cart, umbrella, and chairs are provided at no extra charge. If a previous guest damages the cornhole set or beach cart before your check-in, we cannot guarantee availability, but we will do our best to replace or accommodate you if this happens.

Fully Stocked Kitchen – Cook with Ease
The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a coffee maker to start your mornings right, a blender, toaster, and microwave. Cookware, utensils, and dishware are provided for the whole family, along with spices and basic cooking essentials.

Another Great Trip In The Books

Brennan always delivers a great experience. The house is cozy but offers everything you need for a great vacation. The pool is great and you cannot beat the location to the beach, Carousel Market, and the famous Thomas' Donuts. The weather was perfect and we can't wait to return for another trip.

We didn’t stay

Our kids love pools so we had booked this place for the pool. When we arrived we went straight to the pool and saw it was covered in algae. We got in contact with the host and he had suggested we buy pool shocker and shock it ourselves. He then had pool cleaners come by to shock the pool. We ended up leaving and staying somewhere else for the night and we were refunded for the inconvenience.

WOULDN'T STAY HERE AGAIN

Property has a wonderful location but it was very dirty. Upholstery has stains as well as the bedspread. Owner covered the couch with a blanket. When we messaged owner he sent a new bedspread. My daughter and I weren't comfortable getting into a bed that had stains or using the furniture. Bathroom had a bathmat in tub that was really gross. The house was not clean. You can tell it is not managed well. The outside needs attention as well as the inside. The flooring is cracked and raised in some spots and blinds do not work. Everything is old and needs to be updated. If you are paying $500 per night you don't expect these issues.

Great location

Great location with easy access to the beach and very nice pool area. Especially loved the outdoor shower. Host responded to a couple issues we had quickly including getting a new beach cart sent to the house because the one at the house was broken. One note for those with young kids—we didn’t feel comfortable bathing our toddler in the bath tub (didn’t quite meet our cleanliness standards because of the jets it has) so that may also be an issue for you.

Del Mar Beach Cottage

Absolutely Adorable cottage in a quiet neighborhood. Beach is literally around the corner. Our dogs loved their morning and evening walks along the beach. The grocery store is one block from the house and right across from the beach. Its very well stocked and a very impressive wine selection. Much better than big name grocery stores. Also a full liquor store and a beautiful gift shop. The pool was my favorite. We had it heated, and the pool area is lit up for night swims. Only 4 miles to pier park, which has endless shopping and restaurants. Loved this place and would highly recommend to anyone.

Great Location, Communicative Host

Terrific location, literally a block to an awesome beach entrance (about a 4-min. walk) & just around the corner from the Carousel store (& liquor store) + a short, pretty 8-min walk to Thomas Donut (where you can also grab lunch, ice cream & pizza)-12 mins to Thomas if you walk along the beach. You could definitely park & never drive. The photos are accurate for the most part. We didn't need the 3 bedrooms &would have preferred a more open space layout, but I know most prefer the rooms. Pool's as big as it looks in photos & feels secluded - the walk-in/lounge pool stairs rule. There's a grill! plenty of beach chairs & places to lounge. Definitely bring your own beach towels. Our favorite thing was the porch, it's a great place to post up & read on a rain day - coffee in the am - quiet, shady street with beautiful trees & super friendly neighbors balanced with quiet privacy. The host was easy to reach, communicative & helpful, but also didn't "bother" us during our stay. I think they'd just sprayed for bugs so there was a chemical smell in the house - probably not something that'll always be the case, but you may want to plan in case it's a regular thing, we aired it out the best we could(maybe bring incense or a scented candle?). It's an older renovated house & floors have "settled". There are cameras around the property- always makes me uneasy, but that seems to be the deal with all rentals recently. No real complaints, mostly just "so-you-know" notes. Recommended place!

Wonderful stay at an amazing property!

Myself, my wife, our 10-year-old son, and our two dogs enjoyed this property in mid-June 2023. It is a very quiet and cozy space. The pool was wonderful! Very clean and lots of fun toys to play with. My son loved it a TON, especially because the PC beach can be problematic with currents (three of the days we stayed were double-flag and closed to the public, and the days they weren't they were still quiet intense, so he didn't stay in the ocean too long). The location is INCREDIBLE and well worth the price. It is close to all sorts of conveniences and a VERY short trip away from the main Panama City experience. Honestly, staying at this property was like staying somewhere others hadn't discovered yet. I couldn't believe how killer it was. Brennan was a very, very communicative host who responded near-instantly to any messages I sent to him. The house itself is furnished well. It was clean when we stayed and had lots of small touches that made the stay exemplary. The outside shower was particularly great. I emphatically encourage anyone with a family to stay here. It was an awesome experience. We already are talking about when we can come back!

Laguna beach holiday for two

We enjoyed our 13 days at our home away from home. The pool is an absolute gem, and is our favorite part of the property. For anyone wondering...should we heat the pool? Our suggestion is yes. We chose not to, and are still happy with our decision, but the first week was warm weather so the pool temp was wonderful. Second week, temps dropped so we still enjoyed the pool but it was chilly. The master bedroom was comfortable and the direct access to the pool was excellent for quiet morning coffee poolside. We enjoyed the outdoor shower! The kitchen has everything needed to enjoy home dinners. Location~ we feel it’s the best around. It has everything needed within an easy walk or drive. ( groceries from carousel…a quick breakfast or donut from Thomas’s) The beach is pretty and we enjoyed, swimming and sunsets, and sunrises. We did not rent a golf cart, but it could be very practical. We loved the calmness and tranquility of the area. (Venturing out to other areas is easy also). Our host Brennan, made us feel right at home, and answered the couple questions we had immediately. We would stay here again.

Fall fun in the sun

Our "new house," as our 6yo has dubbed it, proved to be perfect for our fall getaway. This house literally has everything that you could need. The kitchen is FULLY stocked. We cooked a lot of our meals and didn't need one thing that wasn't there (even spices in the pantry!). There is a nice grocery store that is a block and a half away. The beds are comfortable. There are beach chairs, sand toys and a beach wagon for use. The pool is amazing (gas heated pool was SUPER nice when there was a random 20 degree temp drop). There are plenty of towels and starter toiletries. Brennan was excellent to work with. He graciously answered my numerous questions. The beaches in this area are amazing. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We highly recommend this rental and will hopefully be back next year!

Cute pet friendly home in great area

We rented this property after our original booking was cancelled due to Hurricane Ian. We were bummed to completely change sides of the state and having not stayed in Panama City for many years we weren't sure of the location. We were pleasantly surprised what a great low key area this was away from high traffic. Easy walk to the beach with two younger kids, beach wagon provided along with chairs. Beds slept great as well. Pool is nice; was a little cool due to a cold snap, so we opted to have it heated. Would definitely recommend this home and this small beach town feel!

Home away from home

I was looking for a place to relax and regroup for a few weeks after my mom passed away. This house was the perfect retreat. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, within walking distance to the beach and Carousel Grocery. The place was clean, extremely well stocked in every category. It was cozy and I instantly felt relaxed..
