About this property

Enjoy staying in our very clean and charming two bedroom, three bath townhome that sleeps eight comfortably in the less conjested west end area Sunnyside in Panama City Beach. Situated in a small complex of six units directly across the street from three quarters of a mile of "dedicated" beach which is EPA protected from anyone building on this lovely stretch of white sugar sand beach. This is a family friendly area and our beach is private for Sunnyside residents and their guests and it will be yours to enjoy. If you are looking for a high rise condo, like crowds, fighting for a spot on the beach and waiting for an elevator our townhome is not for you!!

We have spacious roomy accommodations. The kitchen is fully equipped and the dining table seats four with two extra seats at the counter bar. Enjoy your morning beverage on the shaded front patio. The living room has a queen size sleeper sofa, flat screen TV, blu ray DVD and free WiFi. The downstairs bathroom is complete with a full shower. There are lovely maple wood floors and hardwood steps that lead to the bedrooms and deck upstairs. The master bedroom has a king bed and full bath with french doors that open to a patio sun deck with lounge chairs where you can enjoy the spectacular gulf view and incredible sunsets. The second bedroom has a queen bed, built in bunk beds and an adjoining full bath and laundry room.

Please bring your own sand chairs and beach umbrella to enjoy the white sugar sand beach steps away from the front door. There are two designated parking spaces directly behind the back door entrance only six steps away. Very convenient so you do not have to cart luggage and groceries from a great distance away. Towels and linens are furnished but please bring your own beach towels. We supply a minimum amount of paper products to get you started.

We respectfully request NO SMOKING and NO PETS in our unit.

We are only minutes way from Pier Park with it’s fabulous shoppes and restaurants, Walmart Super Center, Target, Publix, Winn Dixie, Carousel, CVS, Frank Brown Complex, historic Seaside, Rosemary Beach, Watercolor down 30-A, the airport and many great restaurants and attractions. Through the years I have stayed at many high end resorts where I paid a high price for a longer walk to the beach and paid Resort and parking fees. We offer SIMPLE, CLEAN, NICE AND COMFORTABLE at a great price that leaves you with the financial resources to explore many fun and entertaining options while on your vacation staying in a fantastic vacation spot without breaking the bank.
Let us be your new home away from home.

Quiet and fantastic

This location is a little bit away from the hustle and bustle of the east side of Panama City Beach but still within easy access. The beach access is so close and you will enjoy the beautiful emerald waters and white sand on an uncrowded beach. The cottage afforded my family of 5 plenty of room with great views.

Perfect location!

This property was fantastic! We did hit a little snag when checking in due to the cleaning lady having to take a little longer to make the place perfect for us, but it was not a problem. She did a wonderful job and we appreciated her attention to detail with cleanliness. The location was absolutely perfect for early mornings on the balcony, and a literal minute walk to our beach spot. We appreciated the outdoor shower and water hose that allowed us to clean ourselves off before entering the home without tons of sand. Communication with Teri was on point when the dishwasher needed to be looked at. She responded quickly and it did not impede any part of our stay. The only thing that would be nice, would be having two oven racks, as there is only one. We cooked most nights and it would’ve been a tad bit easier if there had been two racks ti put everything in at once. But it was not a major issue, especially if you don’t plan on cooking a lot. 10/10 would recommend this little gem!

Great location but needs some desperate TLC

First, the overall location is perfect! Directly across from the beach and certainly on the quieter side of PCB. We checked in right at the designated time and the home had not been cleaned. We reached out to the owner and within an hour or so the cleaning personnel arrived. We were instructed to leave the premises while the house was being cleaned which took about another hour. There was apparently a miscommunication, which we realize things happen but it's just disappointing after a long drive, especially with kiddos, not being able to get settled in right away. The home was very outdated and really needed a deep cleaning. Since it's in such a great location, basic updates to the home (i.e., appliances, furniture, fixtures, decor/artwork) would really make it stand out that much more...it really has great potential!

Found our new beach place

This property was exactly as advertised, clean and well maintained. Any issue we had Terry was quick to respond. Arrival and departure was so easy and laid out. The private beach access across the street was a huge win in the busy season. The property was close to restaurants and easy access to all the sports fields on Hwy 98. Excellent experience and we will definitely be back!

Sister time

This was my birthday trip with my sister. I can not say how much we enjoyed our stay. The home was perfect. Very clean. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we would need plus! Our host was very attentive and responded quickly. The location was absolutely perfect. Close to everything but away from it all. Upstairs deck was perfect for sitting and listening to the water. We will definitely return!

Felt Like home to me.

If you are looking for the perfect get away that is literally a one minute walk to the ocean, then this is your place.. As soon as my family and I got there we were mind blown as to how nice and clean it was. It really was the Whatever townhome.. We did whatever we wanted.. It was a huge place with washer and dryer and basically everything you need in the kitchen. My family decided to cook most of the time and Terry had everything we needed. The beds were super comfy. The beach had it's own private access. We went labor day weekend and had the beach pretty much to ourselves. We checked out Monday and went to the stores and to eat in Panama City. My grandbaby was so tired so I hit up Terry and asked if we could stay another night and she was so accommodating.. We will definitely be back. I think we just started a family tradition.. it was so wonderful to have all my children under the same roof again..Thank you Terry for making our family vacation the best one we've ever had..

Quiet and lovely beach home!

We spent a week at the "Whatever" property and had an awesome time. The place is not fancy but has a "homey", very comfortable feel to it. We appreciated having three full baths and roomy bedrooms. The deck off the master was a peaceful place at night to sit and listen to the waves. Also, having a washer and dryer (although very old) was helpful. We stayed in June 2018 while the outside was being renovated. That part wasn't ideal, but we understand renovations take time. The absolute best part about this property is that there is a private path to the beach right across the street. The beach is stunning! We loved not having lots of people all over the beach (like at or near Pier Park). It was like having paradise all to ourselves. The sunsets were beautiful, and we enjoyed many walks along the beach. The owner is very easy to work with and is quick to respond to questions. We're sure when the outside renovations are completed, the place will be even better.

We had a great girls trip! Lots of time together at the within a short walk peaceful relaxing beach!

This was our 2nd year staying here. The 6 of us sleep comfortably and love how close the private beach is. We spend our days on the beach. During the late afternoon we drive to Peir Park and surrounding area for a early dinner. And then we watch the sunset from the Beach. Afterwards returning to the condo to play games, watch a movie and socialize. Kitchen is big enough to cook a big breakfast before starting out for the day and is equiped adequately to prepare dinner when wanting to dine in rather than go out. Table only had 4 chairs, there are two additional stools at the bar. We added 2 of the outside chairs so we could all enjoy time together around the table. The early risers in our group enjoyed watching the sun rise from the balcony. The owners and family are very responsive and great to deal with. We are looking forward to planning our getaway again next year!

Close to perfect!

We loved the location of the property. Not too far from the sights but away enough to where there wasnt a lot of traffic. Steps away from the beach that felt almost private. Although the property is joined with others there was no problem with noise. As soon as we settled we knew we made the right choice renting "Whatever". Hopefully our future endeavors will take us back here.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Farrington

We bought our vacation home from the builder when it was a year old. Through the years we have had the opportunity to purchase many other units or condos. It has always come back to the fact that we love the location and the size of our beach home.

From our travels to the Pacific west coast, Hawaii, Atlantic east coast and the Caribbean I dare you to find any other beach to compare to or with the beauty of ours.

Our daughters were teenagers when we purchased our home and they loved it and now our grandchildren enjoy our beach house. It has been off the rental market for several years but since I recently retired, I can manage our property and have more flexibility to come to the beach myself. I am now offering our beach home for your enjoyment. As a business owner for the past forty-four years in customer service I will do my best to answer any and all of your questions to make your stay the best it can possibly be. We live only a short four and half hour drive away and I have loved the beach since I was child and vacationed in the Florida Panhandle with my parents.
It is so important to me that everyone enjoy their time off and vacation as I always have.

Why they chose this property

We love our beach home at “Sunnyside on the Gulf”. Our little area still maintains a feeling of nostalgia of years gone by at the beach but so close to every convenience. You would pay triple to stay at a unit in a condo on the beach of the same size.
Love, love, love that we are not elbow to elbow with others on our hidden gem of gated “private beach”. Bigger is not always better in our opinion and all of our repeat guests feel the same way.

What makes this property unique

Although our unit is not new we offer a great value for the money. A unit this size in one of the high rise condos would cost you 2 to 3 times more. "SUNNYSIDE ON THE GULF'" is a wonderful throwback to the beach you visited as you were growing up yet so close and convenient to everything you need to make your vacation great.
