This is what a vacation is all about!! Beautiful living (like in my dreams), gorgeous weather (no rain in sight), and a town that was from a time gone by (you would think Disney had created it). Everything in this rental is perfect; the interior, the on the beach setting, the spaciousness, and all the amenities. Nothing was overlooked. A week was too short of time to explore. There was always something going on in town (steps away), great shops in the surrounding areas, a pool, great restaurants, biking, and of course the beautiful beaches with chairs, set up just for you. You'll never want to go home.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

Our family has had the privilege of spending a week each summer at Second Sandbar for the past 5 years. It is exactly what you'd dream about for the perfect beach house. The home in decorated beautifully! Everything flows with the view of the blue/green water from the windows that make up the entire back of the house. The new owners have been great to work with and the house, as always, was immaculate!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

The Second Sandbar is graciously appointed with everything to make your stay comfortable and luxurious. This home is a class act with all the comforts of home and then some....The view is astounding,, the beach is at your backdoor and the location is within walking distance of the quaint little village of Seaside. While there don't miss the farmer's market or outdoor concerts. I would stay there again and again and again!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
Owner response: I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed yourself and the neighboring area of Seaside. I hope that you will consider making the Second Sandbar a regular for your family vacations!

Just back from my first stay in Watercolor as well as my first stay at this home! Could not believe how beautiful the house is! The beds were so comfortable it was hard to leave in the morning, except for the fact that we were right on the beach! Loved having our own happy hour on our own deck every night! So cool! Can't wait to go back!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you Glenna! Glad to hear what a wonderful time that you had at the Second Sandbar! I hope that you will make this an annual visit to your "home away from home"!

About the owner: Stephen and I are about to celebrate a quarter of a century together. We have both shared a love of travel throughout our marriage. While we have cherished the memories that we have accrued in other far off places, we have never found a beach nearly as beautiful nor as family friendly as the Seaside area of Florida. Our children loved the place so much and felt so at home here that they were convinced that this was our 'other home'. We are thrilled that the Second Sandbar is in fact now our home and we look forward to sharing this beautiful place with your family!
Why the Owner Chose Seaside:
We travelled up and down the Florida coast looking for just the right spot, from the Florida Keys and Naples to Sarasota and the Destin Beach areas. When our three children were young, we enjoyed ourselves so immensely at Seaside and felt so rejuvenated by the time we left, we knew we had to return to see if this was the place for us to actually choose for the long term. Needless to say with the addition of the airport access in Panama City and the expanse of fabulous restaurants and shops to go along with the most fabulous beach in the world, we couldn't wait to call the Second Sandbar home! We hope that you will consider this a 'second home' for your next family vacation!
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The 30-A corridor of the Panhandle is the most visited controlled vacation environment on the entire Gulf Coast and it is parallel to the most beautiful sugar white beach and aqua blue water in the world and you don't need your passport to get here. The restaurants that abound on this corridor are totally 4 and 5 star in quality and settings, the best and most freshest seafood in the world; your family will love you for bringing them here...be a hero!
