About the area
Panama City Beach
Located in Panama City Beach, this holiday home is near the beach. Shoppers can check out Pier Park, while everyone can enjoy the natural beauty of Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach. Frank Brown Park and Sundog Books are also worth visiting. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and mountain biking nearby.
The house was wonderful. We had plenty of room and privacy. The location was unbelievable! Close to the beach, stores and restaurants made for an easy, relaxing vacation.
We had a great time, the house is well kept and the beach is just a short walk away from the house. If we return to the area, we will definitely look at booking again!
A perfect house and location for the beach! Clean, well maintained, responsive owners, and an excellent set up for getting to the beach and into town. Highly recommend.
Excellent Location!
Neighborhood is Literally across the street to the beach access, and beach is prime location, not too crowded. Garage is filled with beach toys, chairs and wagon for hauling it all. House is perfect for a family. Cozy and just as the pictures show. Plenty of room for 6 adults to relax and hang out comfortably. Kitchen is equipped with all you need if cooking is preferred, as well as BBQ. Hosts were gracious and easy to respond with. Many thanks to them for sharing their home!
We had such a great time in this house. It is clean and comfortable and homey. It had everything we needed. Easy walk to a beautiful beach. We hope to be back soon.
We are so thankful to have found this property in our favorite place to go! The house is spacious and very clean. We loved the convenient walk to the beach. This made it super easy for us with our 5 year old boy along with my parents. This is a definite place we will be booking again!! Hopefully sooner than later!
We had a wonderful time at this property. It was located in a great spot. Right in between two access points to the beach. Next to the Hub. My whole family loved it and we want to come back! Thanks from fellow Georgians.
We rented the house during the week to enjoy some family time and be close to family who live in the area. The house is not as modern as many in the neighborhood but it has a lot of space to spread out. The kids had their own playroom area and a big living area for all to enjoy. It was a close and easy walk (<5 minutes) to the beach. We had an issue with the air conditioner the first day but it was quickly fixed the next morning. Communication was quick and we were even allowed to check in a little earlier and enjoy some extra beach time. Neighborhood is quiet and peaceful which cannot always be said about other properties in the area.
We enjoyed our experience. The owner communicated with us if we had any questions. The area was n ot as crowded as nearby areas which we greatly appreciated!
This is a really nice, comfortable home with an even better location. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the house has a big grill for cooking out. The interior is cool and cozy, and there is lots of exterior space - front, back, and upstairs - to enjoy. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, while being just steps from the beach. The beach equipment generously provided by our hosts - multiple chairs, umbrellas, toys, and cart to haul it all in - was a great bonus.
Overall I thought this property was a good deal. 5 minute walk to the beach with all of the gear you would need and a wagon to pull it. Home had a cottage like charm to it. A good central location that made it easy to drive to the nearby neighborhoods in both directions (minus traffic). Kids had a blast!
Wonderful is all we can say about this home. We love nooks and this home had many places to find a quiet place to read a book or just relax. We loved having an enclosed garage to keep our car and bikes. Lots of beach toys, umbrellas, and chairs. Beds were comfortable too. Very close to the beach. Hope to stay again in the future.
The location between Watersound and Alys Beach is convenient to restaurants, and shops (although not walking distance). Since the weather wasn’t conducive to a lot of beach time, I can’t really speak to that. The homeowners have chairs and ice chest available. It’s really more like a “personal residence” than a condo rental. We felt like we were staying at a family members home. We found it to be a great way to relax, play board games and watch a little football for New Years.
We stayed only 2 days (3 mights) so couldn't make the most of it. Just in those 2 days we kept finding another door or room! With a week, we'd have been better able to make the most of the balconies/porch, the garden etc. And worked out which switches turned on which of the many lights (which are necessary in the large lounge). The photos do not do justice to the property.
This house exceeded our expectations and as other reviews have stated, the photos don't do it justice. This is a big house, with several outside gathering spaces and lots of personal spaces inside with separate bedrooms and bathrooms. It was furnished with everything you could need. Sweet, normal neighborhood, across the street from the beach and within biking distance of Alys, Watersound, and Rosemary Beach. With Publix close by, we were so happy not to have to drive into Seaside! The property owners were so nice to work with and bikes were delivered to our door by 30A bike rental. We'll be back!

Beautiful home!!
We absolutely loved our stay! The home is beautiful, clean and spacious!! We had more than enough room for everyone. Our three girls especially loved the bedroom with the three beds. The outside porches were cozy. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer for towels after going to the beach. The beach is only a 5 minute walk away. The water was clear and amazing. During our sta, we saw a manatee, sea turtles and dolphins. The ride to the stores was only a few miles away. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Torrential rain, 3.5 days, older teens left early.
Wi-Fi was down, most of the time .
Cable was down most of the time.

Nice game selection. Nice Art.

What the doctor ordered!!
This was our second retreat to the beach along Highway 30A and our first time in Seacrest. We were very pleased when we pulled up to the well manicured bungalow in this quaint and peaceful beach-side neighborhood.The beach was a 4 minute walk and a one-minute bike ride away. Beach chairs were easy to rent and readily accessible. Bikes were delivered from the The Hub just down the road. The house was very big and certainly had all of the amenities one would ever need.
We jogged or biked each day down the path to Alys Beach and then Rosemary Beach which was only a couple of miles away. Situated between beach communities, there are many delicious eateries within short driving range. Although many meals, we chose to take advantage of the comfort of home at our home away from home.
We highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a comfortable and peaceful beach getaway.
