Don't Worry Be Happy is true to its name!

We had a great time! The house was very quaint and welcoming. The beach was within walking distance which was perfect for sunset strolls on the beach.

Great location & communication!

We had a wonderful! I am single mom with two boys and we felt completely safe in this neighborhood! There were some issues with the golf cart tires from a previous guest, but the owner had his cleaners come to fix it so we had the golf cart for the rest of our stay! The cleaners were so kind and the owner was great to communicate! The walk to the beach even without the golf cart was so pleasant and short! Highly recommend this home for families and kids. We had a great time and can’t wait to come back!

Breezy Sunnyside

My family and I enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was even better than anticipated. I had requested unscented cleaning and laundry/linens, to avoid migraines, and the house on arrival was lovely, clean and unscented. The host was quick to respond to questions during reservation and during our stay. We especially loved evening dips in the small pool, starry skies, and riding around in the breezy golf cart. We would definitely go back, though perhaps before the June heat wave.

If you stay off of the beach front then this is a great location. Private pool and golf cart makes it super convenient getting off the beach. House is located in a dead end street making it very quiet and peaceful.

This was an excellent home for our family of 5. Had everything we needed including a well stocked kitchen. The location is top notch- quiet neighborhood within a minute drive on the golf cart to beach access. The beach was never packed and had plenty of family friendly space to enjoy the emerald ocean. Kids loved jumping waves, and finding sand dollars and crabs. I did wipe down high surface areas on doors and light switches but other than that the home was very clean. We made wonderful memories here- thank you!!

Another home run! Wil be back for a third time.

Jim and Melissa are wonderful hosts. They never pause to call you when you need them and never make you feel as if you are a "bother". Just the very best people that truly make you feel right-at-home. I made meals for the family every day and that did include breakfast thru supper. I did not need to search for any pot, pan or utensil. LOVE having the washer and dryer. Pool was perfect. Pool cleaning ppl came and went quickly. The neighborhood would easily be at the top of my list to move to. Family friendly. Wonderful neighbors. Made small talk with a few and just wonderful ppl. The gold cart is always nice to have. Days that may be off and on-again storms, won't put a damper on your stay, there are many places to go and visit and have fun that are truly a stone's throw away.

We had a great time!

Overall great!! Pool is very small and not noticeable in pics. The golf cart was a lifesaver!! House is close enough to the beach but just far enough that walking back from beach end of day with kids would be a nightmare so the golf cart was MUCH appreciated!! And hubs took the kids out on it several times and they loved it! Very spacious home for our family of 6!! And we have teens, a pre-teen and a little. We really enjoyed the home and all of the extras like pool and beach stuff. Lots of extra pillows! Grilled out one night with the provided grill. Thank you!

Home Away From Home

I’ve now stayed at DWBH four times. The private pool is great! The location is wonderful you’re out of the hustle and bustle of PCB and so the beach is never over crowed. The house isn’t far from the beach and the golf cart makes it super accessible to get there. We always feel super comfortable in the house it feels like we are at home!

Very cute and quiet neighborhood! Golf cart was very helpful. Garage full of toys and chairs for the beach. The pool wasn’t heated and was little chilly for swimming in October. We would love to come back, the hosts were very accommodating.

The Perfect Getaway

We recently spent 10 wonderful nights at Don’t Worry Be Happy! This is our second time to stay in this home, and we loved everything about it. The home has everything we needed, the bed was so comfy , the pool was so relaxing and we loved having the Golfcart for the short ride to the beach. Already making plans to book again next year!!!!

Great home for a rainy vacation!

This home was perfect for the week we stayed. Although it rained the majority of the time we were I'm Florida, the home had great space, the pool was wonderful, and the large table was great for family game time. The only negative, which is in the description of the home, was there is no cable. Only Roku and your Netflix if you have it. Had it not been raining, this would not have been noticed.

About the host

Hosted by Jim and Melissa Hunt

Host profile image
We are Jim and Melissa from Ball Ground, Georgia. We have been coming to Panama City Beach with our kids since 1998 and decided to buy Don't Worry, Be Happy in 2014. We love the Panama City Beach area!

Why they chose this property

The west end of Panama City Beach is the best end! The beaches are not overcrowded and it's still easy to get to Pier Park or the 30-A area.

What makes this property unique

Everything is on one floor so you don't have to climb any stairs! You can walk out the back door to the private pool.
