Perfect Beach House
Loved this quaint house. It is within perfect walking distance to the beach AND on a quiet street.
Thrilled that we stumbled upon this location. I will definitely be back.
Great Location
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cottage. It was very convenient to the beach and had a very nice beach access walkway. We felt secluded from the craziness of Panama City so that it was more peaceful, but close enough to enjoy good restaurants and shopping. The house was adorable and fit what we needed. Would definitely go back again.
Great Customers Service
I would like to say that I love that the house was literally a 3 min walk to the beach. Very convenient! The customer service was very excellent. The property managers stopped by to make sure we had everything. I texted the owner about the WiFi pass code which could of been easy answered with a text. With in 3 mins the property manager drove up and made sure we were online. My son had a great Birthday, cant wait to rent this place again.
Very accomidating little getaway
We found this place for a short stay on a spontaneous jaunt to FL from MI... with six kids. Although the structure is old and the bathrooms are small it was more than accommodating. Three bedrooms and two (basically) living rooms, along with plenty of room to move in the kitchen gave the cottage a very spacious feel. There was even a brand new grill on the front porch.
I do think the price was a bit steep ($300/night plus $100 cleaning fee and taxes, hence my 4-star rating) but the location and last minute planning made that sort of an expectation for our trip.
The neighborhood was quiet, the cottage was clean and stocked with all the basics and then some (coffee, bottled water, towels, soap...even laundry soap for the washer,) the owner and manager both communicated well, and we were only a few minutes away from all kinds of attractions.
I would definitely recommend this property. We completely enjoyed it.
Loved the beach, would not stay in this rental again.
The rental looked like the pictures except when we arrived it was not even ready for us to check in. The cleaning crew doesn't do a good job cleaning at all. We found old chocolate chip cookies in the one room on the floor, there was cob webs and dust almost in every corner, the drain in the one shower was broke and slid off anytime you stepped on it and the bathrooms smelled like old dirty locker rooms that had not been cleaned. The A/C did not seem to work the way it should have worked, the gas grill outside was a joke. It is so small you can barely cook on it and there were no utensils to use with it, we had to have the house manager replace the propane tank and the grill blew up twice while cooking on it. Also, it didn't help that we had to contact the police to report someone stealing one of our coolers off the front porch!! We understand that it is an older cottage but it could have been A LOT cleaner than what it was. The area was great with easy access to the beach and surrounding activities for all in the group to participate in. We will come back for another vacation in Panama City Beach but we will find stay at a different location.
Ladies weekend was amazing
This was the most neat and unique cot I have ever seen ! I felt at home even on vacation ! It had lots of unique rooms and comfy beds, and it was literally walking distance to the beach !! I am definitely coming back again . The ladies and I loved every single bit of the stay! The manager was very helpful as we'll ! Thanks !
