We have rented many homes thru out the gulf region and this home was by far the best and most accomodating yet! We gathered at this home for a mini family reunion and the space was great for keeping our large group together. We had more than enough space to accommodate our crew! The kitchen was large enough to get everyone involved in meal preparation and the dinning table was perfect for accomodating our entire group as sitting together for meals was an important part of our gathering. The house was equiped with EVERYTHING we needed to include beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, and beach toys. We used the additional ice maker everyday to fill the cooler. The top deck has a gourgous view and was great for late night star gazing. The walk to the beach was quick and easy and the private beach access was great. The neighborhood is quiet and very friendly. We were conveniently located to several grocery stores and shopping. We would diffinately vacation at this home again and would recommend it to anyone needing alot of private sleeping space and ample gathering/eating room. It was a big bonus to be able to include the four legged member of our family. If we could only use one word to describe this home, it would be AWESOME!

Recommended for:Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is great for a large family. The 4th floor sundeck and hot tub was a big hit with the kids. The area is so nice and you can ride bikes everywhere. The beach is beautiful and just a short walk away.

We had a great time on our vacation. This was a very nice rental house and a very good value. It is only a 3 minute walk to the beach! This area along 30A is very peaceful and away from the major traffic of Panama City Beach or Destin. One helpful hint - Bring your bikes and park your car for the week. This is a great house to relax in built in a great area to relax in.

Betty, We enjoyed the house very much. I think housekeeping needs to do a better job getting the house ready. We did not feel like the towels were clean or some of the beds. Pictures were missing in the Master bedroom. Just nails in the wall. The Master bedroom fridge had wine or something spilt inside of it. The additional carpet on the stairs was somewhat dangerous when it came unnailed. The beach chairs and toys were missing. How sad if someone who stayed there took these items. Just wanted to let you know a few things that needed to be addressed. As far as location, it was excellent. The beach was not crowded and the water was wonderful. The house was large enough for our group of 10. We loved the views from the roof and porches. It was nice to drive to Seaside or some of the other towns, without having to stay there in all the congestion. The house just needs a little TLC, but we loved the location and size. I would reccomend this house to others. After speaking with Betty, I know they are more than willing to take care of any needs you might have, if you are staying there. The price was great compared to other pricing in the area. The house is beautiful and location is great! Thank You Kimberly Ovilla, Texas

We recently stayed at Betty's house near the beach. The house is beutifully furnished, it even has a piano. The kitchen is well supplied has every utensil you could think of. There were twelve people in our group, we had plenty of space. We had a great family vacation. Mary Ann (Copied from e-mail comment by Mary Ann)

Fabulous house, Betty! I'll be detailed here....first the location. It was out of all the traffic and was in a peaceful part of 30A. The access to the beach was excellent - my 2 year old walked it just fine. All the real estate surrounding is high-end and extremely well maintained. This house has some important things that we enjoyed, little things that mean a lot. It was well stocked with beach "stuff". It had two outdoor showers that kids LOVE, and quite frankly, I loved it too. Very earthy and it reminded me of a time when we stayed in St. Lucia. Coffee maker on the third floor was awesome. The large quantity ice maker thrilled us, and it kept us from having to go to the store for ice. This house is huge, and for the price, can't be beat. Literally four thousand square feet, and the balconies make it feel bigger. The master suite is truly a suite - we put our baby crib in the CLOSET...it's that big. Double head shower ...well, speaks for itself. The 4th floor hot tub is impressive, and we watched all the fireworks from up there. Amazing, really. All 12 of us up there, with views all up and down the coast. This house is well-maintained. It isn't pristine, with as many people as it holds on a regular basis, but it's kid friendly and clean and as well maintained as can be. Attractive beach art and a big screen tv downstairs is a good plus. Couple of thoughts....if you are taking a very elderly person, plan for him or her to stay on the bottom floor. The steps are tiresome. Also, remember that the beach has a steep set of 50 stairs to get to the sand, as is common up and down the panhandle coast from Rosemary on over west. We'd definately rent this house again, and the owners are very nice, accommodating people.

Owner response:Jan, thank you for such detail. You and your family was an absolute pleasure to have as guests. We look forwad to hearing from you the next time you "go to the beach". Betty and Herb

Betty, We had a great family vacation thanks to you and what your home had to offer! You have a beautiful home and the ease of doing business with you personally and your genuine concern that all our questions were answered prior to arrival were a true comfort before driving all that way with kids, dog, luggage, bikes, etc...:) Another memory for our family that we will never forget. The rest of the community and access to Seaside was terrific! I have recommended that area and your house to all those that have inquired where we stayed. Thanks again... Sincerely, Steve Sempowich and Family

Palm Cove provides a welcomed calm in a beautiful setting. The entire family had a spectacular time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views...the beach...the proximity to and from...and the hospitality of Betty Fischer combined to make a special time for all. We'll be back soon!

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that we really enjoyed our vacation, and our stay in your home. The location was beautiful, the home very comfortable and the weather was fantastic. Our favorite part was the rooftop deck. We spent every night up there, singing along with the guitar, enjoying the view and the hot tub. The 4th of July was the icing on the cake...we were able to view about 10 different fireworks displays from our vantage point. It was a perfect way to end our week.

We had a wonderful time, the house is very close to the beach (although those stairs up can be tiring :)). We visited nearby seaside and rosemary beach just a short drive to many wonderful locations and conveniences. The hot tub was wonderful - we spent a lot of time in there. And the double headed shower - well lets just say we still miss that and are wondering if we can get one for our house. We would definately use this house again in the future. Very very happy.

Betty, we have appreciated working with you on our rental of your beautiful home. Your place was a great winter retreat for us and another couple. We were attracted to your home by the rooftop hot-tub, and it was such a great spot after a long day of tennis, biking along the 30-A bike path and strolling on the beach which was just a short walk away. Your kindness has been appreciated.
