About The Owner

Hi, my name is Jan and I bought my beach home in 2005. I am still working in Washington DC. I try to get to Panama City Beach as much as possible but not nearly enough.I travel most of the time.I know what people want when they go on vacation and I try to furnish it in my home.I am about 75 yards to the most beautiful beaches in the world. Its nice going to the beach, but also nice to come home to a beautiful space with your own private pool.My home has many more nice things than most rental homes. Enjoy my lovely home. My realtor friend describes my house as a house you would want to live in and not just for vacation. It's very homey with all the extras of a real home.

The Owner purchased this house in 2005
Why The Owner chose Lower Grand Lagoon

I bought in Panama City Beach because I think there is an abundance of things to do with a family here and the beaches are some of the whitest beaches in the world. There are many restaurants close to my house - J Michaels is my favorite and many locals go here. Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville at Pier Park and Andy's Flour Power for breakfast are two other good ones. Excellent golfing here and many great fishing tournaments. I love being able to walk across the street and be on the beach. I still have an ocean view from the 3nd floor but nothing like walking in the sand.You are right across the street from the beach. I also like biking thru St. Andrews park which is right down the street. Here you can put your boat in and boat over to Shell Island.

What makes this house unique

It's nice having your own private pool when you come in from the beach. I have a shower on the front porch and one in the back by the pool. I have many beach lounge chairs around the pool. There are 5 bathrooms in this house, two being on the first floor. This is really nice when coming in from the beach, too. The house is an open floor plan , kitchen , dining and living room is one big room. The bedrooms all have their own patio off of it. This is nice in the morning when you want to have coffee in the quiet times. All the bedrooms have a bathroom in it with double sinks. This is nice for saving your marriage. Ha! Ha! Enjoy my lovely home.

Just finished my third stay at Jan's CREW REST STOP and I can't stop saying great things about my stay. From the time I get a copy of the contract until I stay and get my deposit back, it is a pleasure working with Jan. And I can not forget the wonderful house and the great views. I live in Chicago and it is great to enjoy the beach and sand or the private pool and the weather. Keep up the great work Jan I will be back next year as well. I have been telling all my friends about the great stay!!!

i just wanted to write this review..which i rarely do, because i was so impressed with the house and the amenities! first of all the pictures do not do this house justice. the rooms were large and the beds were so very comfortable. the house was cleaner then most high end hotels. it was very well appointed and the linens and towels were like those at home! the owner has the place decorated better than most homes. it was also very nice that all 4 of us couple felt as if we had an escape to ourselves for afternoon napping, reading, watching tv...etc. it was a delight to see that all four bedrooms had their own private balcony with furniture for morning coffee! the pool is a salt pool which is so nice for the skin and after a day at the beach was so relaxing. we had rain most of our stay but enjoyed the house so much we were not overly disappointed! the location is the best and it's across the street from the best restaurant in panama city beach..schooners. it is on a four lane road but crossing is very easy as the road is not too busy. the location is at a quieter part of pcb...and close to the state park and shell island! we will definitely be going back and i have already been recommending this property to others!

Crew Rest Stop Review

4 of 5
Submitted: March 18, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
We were very impressed with the house. I loved the keyless door system. We never had to worry about keys, and checking in was so easy! The furnishing were very nice. We loved having wirless internet and cable as well. All of the rooms were nicely appointed. All of the beds were comfortable and I loved how close we were to the beach. Crossing the street was a breeze and the beach was wonderful. The only downside was the heated pool. It was to be heated and did not stay heated for the duration of the stay. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay that was away from the rowdy beach down the way. Will definately use again!
Thanks Jan!
Owner's Response: Thanks for the positive response. The pool heater is a new addition to the house and I found out that the heater only heats the water when the pump is running. The pump runs about 8 hours a day so we will run the pump more now to compensate. This is definately the best end of the beach and we can walk to our favorite resturant,Schooners.

We had a great vacation in this beautiful home! I loved that we all had our own seperate space, large enough, lots of bathrooms, no waiting. The decor was beautiful and Jan thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. I had my 2 small dogs with me and the layout was perfect for keeping them out from under our feet. Location was perfect, on the main road but far enough away to give some privacy on the beach.Everything was clean and comfortable. Thanks for sharing your home with us !

We just returned from our first trip to Panama City Beach. This is our 5th women only trip and this was by far the best house we have had so far. We have always rented houses with pools and this was the first one that the pictures actually reflected what the house truly looked like. In the past, the pics looked great, but the house seemed much older and run down than the pics showed. The walk to the beach was very easy. We were leary at first with four lanes of traffic, but with the median in the middle, it was a very easy stroll every day and we lugged a very large, heavy cooler over each day. This was also the first house where the maid had not taken all the leftover soaps, laundry, dish detergent, etc. We purchased everything not knowing this, but there was plenty of leftovers there to keep someone from having to shop right off the bat. House was very convenient to shopping, restaurants, ice machines...pretty much everything you need. Beach area was wonderful because it was in the neighborhood of mostly houses so we had plent of room to spread out and not be so cramped. You could look down the beach and see that was not the case down in the areas of the large condos. They were smashed in there like a bunch of sardines. I hope this review helps anyone looking to rent this house. Every woman in our house was very pleased so that is an accomplishment in its self!! We will definitely be returning in the future!

Owner's Response: Mandy, thank you for your wonderful response. I do try to add extra things to make the house feel like home. Not the case with many of my neighbors. I keep up with repairs and try to make my house look fresh . Many people are disappointed with many beach houses down here because they look so sterile. Mine is exactly like you see in the video. Thank you so much. Jan

We stayed here 7/3 - 7/10. Great if you like to be near the action but not on top of it. The road is busy that you have to cross to the beach but we never had a problem. We did feel the beach was a little further than advertized but wasn't really a problem. We had a 7 months pregnant lady with us and we always walked to the beach. House was very clean, nicely decorated, pool area nice and cozy. We had 10 staying here, (11 if you count the new baby with us) and had plenty of room, mainly because we were outside most of the time. We would definitely rent this again.

Owner's Response: my house is where Thomas Drive goes down to two lanes. There is a grassy island in-between the two lanes. Its very easy to cross. My house is literally 75 steps to beach if you walk straight across to beach. I am the first tier of houses from the ocean. My house does sleep 12 people. Its very comfortable and decorated so much better than most beach rentals down here. Thanks .

Thanks Jan for sharing this great home with my family . This home was set up great for each family to have private space or be a family .We all had a wonderful time while there . The price was good for all that was included . The pool was great. We were a little concern about not going through a realty co. and renting from a private owner but it was all good . Not having to keep up with keys was great also. The key code system was nice for all of us to come and go as a family or independent . Captian Jack's was a good family restaurant . I would suggest that anyone with children go on the pirates ship , this is fun for the whole family . Thanks again .

Incredible vacation spot and loved everything about this well-maintained house. It is very comfy and homey with lots of little touches that make it special in every way. The pool is great with lots of seating and the individual master bedrooms are perfect for an extended family get-away. The kitchen is well-stocked and shopping is convenient for groceries and sundries. We loved Pier Park for restaurants and personal shopping and even a small carnival ride area for the kids. Miracle Mile has many fun activities for everyone. It is so nice to have the comforts of home while vacationing. We hope to return again next year and the year after that, Lord willing. Thanks so much.
