Small families or couples looking for a great place to stay while visiting Florida's gorgeous Panama City Beach need look no further! This quaint, recently updated beachside cottage has easy access to nearby attractions, along with a homey atmosphere and modern comforts.

Surrounded by swaying palm fronds, this cottage is just steps from the famed Carousel Grocery store and restaurants, while the beach is less than a block away! Of course, you can enjoy gorgeous views of the Gulf right from your home's sun deck.

This cozy studio cottage feels lived-in and welcoming, with bright colors, unique, charming furnishings, and plenty of natural light.

Between the bed, sofa, and chairs there are plenty of places to relax with your friends and loved ones. This rental offers a good chance to unplug, but that doesn't mean you have to put aside modern convenience - with a large, smart TV and free WiFi, you can sit back and enjoy your favorite media as you prepare for another great day in the Gulf.

Enjoy intimate dinners with that special someone or your close friends at the indoor table for four or take in some sunshine and ocean air at the outdoor table, complete with an umbrella for shade. The compact kitchen has everything you need to whip up a delicious meal, with stainless steel appliances and surprisingly roomy countertops.

This cozy cottage's plush queen-size bed and comfy sofa bed let up to four guests have a good night's sleep. Each of the beds is located near wide windows, perfect for letting in morning light when you're ready to start the day. The sole bathroom is small, but warm and welcoming, with a shower to make sure everyone is refreshed after hitting the beach!

The soft sands, bright sun, and warm waters of Laguna Beach are just a block away, great for splashing around with the kids, sunbathing with your friends, or taking a romantic walk with that special someone. There's also a grocery store, Thomas Donuts restaurant, and souvenir shop within about a block from the cottage. More entertainment is just three miles down the road at Pier Park, a massive shopping and entertainment hub that offers plenty of amazing ways to spend an afternoon. Make it a day at home when you set up your volleyball game, horseshoes, or bean bag toss in the large side yard.

Just nine miles east of your home away from home lies the heart of Panama City Beach. In addition to more incredible beachfront to explore, you have access to amazing attractions like Ripley's Believe It Or Not Odditorium, the scientific exhibits of Wonderworks, and the wildlife of ZooWorld. Here in town you can also go scuba diving and snorkeling or hop on the shuttle to explore the area!

What are you waiting for? Place your reservation today and treat yourself and your loved ones to a lovely stay in a gorgeous Florida beach town!

One what the beach

My second stay here. The beach is a short walk away . The property is on a very quiet street which is wonderful for sleep. Also a short walk from the grocery which is very convenient. The living area is very basic which was fine by me. Didn’t make any meals during my visit and so I’m not able to comment on kitchen utilities. Enjoyed my stay and I hope to return in the future.

Perfect title

Cozy cottage is the perfect term to describe this unit. Love the decor - not too fancy (that would ruin the atmosphere) yet very well done. The tan and dark brown furnishings accented with pineapple and palm accents is perfect for the unit. Appliances appear to be new or almost new. All worked just fine. You can’t beat the location - one block from the beach and within walking distance to Thomas’ donuts and snacks as well as the Carousel grocery. Very quiet area without all the high rises on the beach.

Great Location

Cute little place with nice deck outside with a view of the water. Short walk to dunes and beach. Grocery store a five minute walk. Everything was very clean. It is an older property so has a bit of a lived in look with lots of pictures and other decorations. The window blinds work OK, but could use replacement. Nice private location surrounded by trees and bushes.

Quiet Residential Area

There were a few small issues when I arrived. I had no contact information from the management company That was my concern. I resolved the issues myself. The rental property is fine considering the cost for the five days. It's quiet and close to the beach. This is an older property which is convenient to the west side of PCB.

Old Block Cottage (Cozy)

Pros: Huge side by side fridge Half a block to beach Nice deck Lots of lizards to keep the bugs down Cons: Window A/C needs shot of freon or replaced No umbrella on deck No washcloths All extension cords and wires should be placed in channel tubing Junk laying all around outside All in all we had a great time. Keep updating the place. It's stood the test of time. Go all out for updating it. Just don't expect Taj Mahal when you get there. Off the beaten path / can't see from roadway Bed was comfy

The owner was great but this was not a VRBO. Had to deal with a company called Vacasa!

Vacasa is the worst to deal with. I will never rent any property managed by them again. If u use VRBO you expect to deal with the property owner. Real people, not a corporation from the left coast. Avoid these this company like the plague. Even the local rep is rude. Crude and socially unacceptable. Overall, this was a great property for a simple vacation. Super owner which was wonderful to know.

Not as expected

This was listed as a ‘1 Bedroom.’ It isn’t. It is a studio. Had I known this, I would never have booked it. My husband and 2 teenage daughters arrived to find ‘no doors anywhere.’ The only place they could close was the tiny bathroom to change. Also, the only way this place is 1000 square feet is if they include the porch. When I contacted the owner and asked if we could trade to another available rental and pay the difference, I was told ‘I could rent the other if I wanted but I should have dealt with any issues BEFORE I arrived.’ How could I tell it was a studio from description and pictures is beyond me. They left the property after one night and spent the rest of the time in a 2 bedroom rental with another company. We lost the cost of this property and I refused to book the other place by the same company because I wasn’t going to give them any more money. I will be avoiding this company from now on. Never had trouble with VRBO before this.

Cozy Little Cottage

This cottage is perfect for a couple!! Beach is very close and it's right down the road from Thomas's Donuts ❤️ I do not recommend taking a lot of luggage to this place. My friend and I had way to much stuff for the space. Would like to stay again!!

Weekend getaway

If you’re looking for a quiet beach trip this is the place. Just a short walk and you’re at the beach. The property was clean and well maintained. There was a slight problem with the key pad that caused a mild inconvenience but the property manager was on it and resolved it right away. I definitely recommend and I would stay again.

Great location!

The home is located right on the beach within steps which is nice. The space is quaint but totally comfortable for what we needed. Bedroom area is not private and is on the small side but the bed is comfortable. The kitchen and living area is a good size. The bathroom is the tiniest bathroom I have encountered, but it’s still sufficient and isn’t a deal breaker for me. The location for the price is what works for me. Our stay was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Florida.

It’s right on the beach which is wonderful. It’s quiet and not attached to any other structures. Parking is included on site. There’s a dining table for 4 people which comes in handy. The bedroom area is open and not private from the living room area. It’s tiny and quaint, but sufficient for our needs. The bathroom on the other hand is very small and harder to navigate. The shower is very small. However, the bathroom is doable in exchange for the lovely scenery surrounding the area.

Absolutely perfect small cottage.

Quiet neighborhood, close to the beach, funky older cottage that has been nicely decorated. We had a deck, a lovely small patio, and a great view from the bedroom area. It was really perfect for two people.

Just what we hoped. Quiet corner away from the street and two minute walk to the beach. Carousel Grocery and Gift store better than Pier Park Mall by a long shot!
