Adorable "Think Pink" Cottages in Laguna Beach (West End)

Year Purchased: 1996

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes

These adorable cottages were in the process of being condemned when the former owner, John Trader, asked me to buy them and restore and love them as much as he did. I have tried to live up to his request. And, I do love and pamper them just as, I'm sure, he and his wife did.

The Unique Benefits at this Cottage

The cottages are so comfortable and inviting. They are not elegant, but just so cute, cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect for "playing outside", whether you walk the 200 ft. down the road to the beach, bicycle, jog or walk to the donut shop and Carousel Grocery Store. So much like the "old Florida" I vacationed at as a child. While everything has been updated, the 1950's flavor has been preserved. I hope I have made John Trader proud.

Owner's Map of Private Homes

I have sold real estate, built houses, developed sub-divisions and handled rentals for over 30 years. Primping and pampering these three little cottages is my "hobby" now that I am retired. We keep them in "tip-top" condition for our family and grand children to enjoy. We'd love to add you to our list of "extended family."

Wow!

Guest: Dan M.
Date of Stay: 07/02/11 Review Submitted: 07/22/11

My wife and I just returned from our most recent stay at a "Think Pink" cottage. Is every day of every trip more relaxing and pleasurable than the one before it? It is if you stay here. So clean and comfortable and unpretentious. If you're like us and need a vacation to "get away," you cannot do better. You're a very short walk from the gulf in a quiet area of Laguna Beach, the best stretch on Front Beach Road. When you take a break from the beach, the cottage is a welcoming retreat. And at night you can sit out front and listen to the surf and watch the moon. Even at the height of the season there was almost no traffic to disturb the peaceful state of mind you cannot avoid. I could probably go on and on. But you're just going to have to experience this yourself. Don't miss it.

Totally Enjoyable!!! June, 2011

Date of Stay: 06/04/11 Review Submitted: 07/05/11

We have taken several vacations to this area of Florida and this one was the best! We enjoyed the simplicity and comfortability of this cottage. This cottage has everything you need, including an ice maker! Our dogs loved it. They seemed to think this was there new house. Nice back yard for the dogs and grilling. We have already planned to return in November and next summer too. Glenda is wonderful and makes you feel like one of her kids. The beach is awesome and not crowded at all. You are only about 15 minutes from Pier Park in Panama City with lots of shopping and great eats! Glenda thank you for being a wonderful person and sharing your piece of the pie with us! Keep up the great work!

Time Stands Still

Date of Stay: 04/25/11 Review Submitted: 05/25/11

Think Pink Cottages have become my family's yearly "home away from home". We were so blessed to have found Glenda! She makes you feel like family over the phone! Her cottages are designed to make you feel comfortable and you don't have to stray far from them to have the best FL beach vacation! We walk to the beautiful, clean, beach toting umbrellas and chairs. We eat donuts each morning from the shop around the corner and cook and grill all week with food purchased at the grocery store 3 blocks away. Each cottage is cutely decorated and well-maintained! Having a laundry room on site is very convenient! There's fun for all! The Pier Park shopping and restaurant area is a "must see" right down the road! Don't miss Gulf World too! Each day is long and relaxing and you feel like time really does stand still! Family area...no large crowds...just what we need! Thanks Glenda!

Owner response:You are SO precious! I do so love my Horridge family!!! Thank you so much for your kind words! I look forward to your calls and visits each year! Keep them coming! I'm keeping the light on for you! MUCH LOVE, Glenda

Just what we were looking for!

Guest: Natalie (MS)
Date of Stay: 05/14/11 Review Submitted: 05/22/11

We stayed at "Think Pink" cottages for the first time this May. The cottage is adorable and the location is perfect. It is in a very quiet neighborhood and only 200 ft from the beach. The beach was quiet and uncrowded during our stay. The cottage was extremely clean and neat! Ms. Glenda is so friendly and helpful. All of our neighbors were very friendly as well. The cottage is dog friendly and we took our dogs. But you would never know any pets had been in the cottage because it was so clean! I can't wait to stay there again if we return to Panama City Beach. Also, just a short walk to Thomas Donuts which is great and The Carousel Market which is a grocery and wine and spirits store. Perfect Location and perfect cottage for my hubby, my dogs and myself! I highly recommend Think Pink if you want a quiet location away from all the crowds but still close enough to the restaurants and shopping.

This Was Like Real Beach Living

Guest: Bob (St. Louis, MO)
Date of Stay: 05/14/11 Review Submitted: 05/22/11

Having lived in Panama City Beach before, I knew that I wanted to stay away from the traffic and commotion surrounding big condo complexes and attractions. I pulled in after a 12 hour drive, carried my bags 10 feet to my unit and sat down instead of crossing a parking lot, checking in at the front desk, and waiting for an elevator. The owner is very personable, friendly and responsive to emails. I came down with my dog and new camera and had a great relaxing vacation. It's just a short walk to a quiet residential beach with white sand, emerald water and no plastic cups and beer bottles laying in the sand. The neighborhood is quiet with friendly neighbors. I would walk to Thomas Donut shop each morning to pick up a breakfast sandwich and donut, and have my morning coffee in the back yard with my laptop, and the WIFI network worked perfectly. All large and small kitchen appliances that I needed were there, and I grilled a delicious steak on the BBQ pit. I think that T-Bone was about $8.00 instead of $25.00. Everything inside was clean and everything outside was well kept up. There is shopping and attractions 5 minutes to the east. There are two beautiful state parks nearby that I highly recommend. St. Andrews on the east end of the beach is every bit worth the $8/car fee. Camp Helen just across the bridge on the west end has a $4/car honor system box. Both are great for scenic photography. My stay couldn't have been better. I will definitely be coming back to these cottages!

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words, Bob! We will definitely be looking for another visit from you in the very near future!! Sincerely, Glenda

1st time as a snowbird.

Guest: Mark (Camby IN)
Date of Stay: 01/02/11 Review Submitted: 05/12/11

But I would recommend to stay here anytime. I stayed during January 2011 and was sorry i hadn't rented for more as Indiana was not cooperating. I was looking for something a bit unique. I liked the idea of old Florida style, ground floor...no stairs, no elevator and no tiny balconies to hang off. My unit was clean, comfortable and very well decorated. I wanted for nothing. Local markets close by and very cost competetive. Plenty of eateries and all oh so good. yeah check out those donuts!! A large pet friendly park within minutes driving time. Pier Park outside mall a great place to shop and browse also just minutes away. And like the ad says just feet away from the sand. I walked the beach daily and loved it. probably one the most wonderful things about Think Pink is the people. Starting with Glenda everyone was great. All the tenants we great to talk with and the whole neighborhood was friendly and welcoming. I actually have stayed in contact with some folks I met there. Sad when I left but once home couldn't wait to tell my friends of my stay and have recommended to some looking for a new adventure. It's for sure I'll be going back and not soon enough

We were down to PCB for my son to play in a baseball tournament. We rented the small 1 bedroom. Even though it was the smaller one it wasn't too bad. VERY VERY clean. Air worked GREAT! Can't wait to come back in June/July and rent the 2 bedroom! THANKS Glenda for EVERYTHING!

Think Pink Cottages are a fabulous retreat from the beach scene--perfect for those who travel with dogs. My cottage was clean, cute and well furnished for my 2 week stay. Outside shower and hoses for cleaning up after the beach. Close to everything you need, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful.

We recently stayed at the Think Pink Cottages for the first time and are absolutely in love with them. They are so cute and the layout is perfect for us. We love the area and the fact we can take our dogs with us. It is so close to the beach and to Thomas Donuts (you have to try it). The owner is so friendly and is very accomodating. We will defintely become frequent guests (we are actually coming back next week).
