3-Story Pvt Home/4BR-5BA/ Heated Pv Pool/Wifi/Pets/Ocean View
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
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.
The Unique Benefits at this House
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.
I am a private home approx 75 yards from front door to ocean. One step from car to house. Private pool in backyard. Close to Schooners Resturant and St. Andrews State Beach Park.

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.

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!!!

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 ! ]

Review Submitted: 06/22/11
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 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 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 .
Owner response:thanks for the great review. I try to furnish a well stocked house. And I am close to the beach and nice resturants so thats a plus. Jan

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.
Owner response:thanks for the positive response. I try to make it feel homey. Jan

Beautiful House with a few drawbacks

Review Submitted: 06/01/10
My family and I recently stayed at this house and it was lovely and the floorplan was ideal for our party of three families. The pool was great when the children were napping. The only drawbacks to this house is the lack ammenities that you would expect when you go on vacation- things like toliet paper, trashbags, soap etc. There is a shopping list on the fridge that instructs you that you need these things but it would have been nice to know this in advance as these are things that you generally expect when using a vacation rental. Also, there is no internet access in the house which was advertised when we choose to rent the home, there was a note with a wireless key code but the service must have been disconnected. There are notes all over the house instructing you what you can and cannot do with the house- including a canister of grass mats for the beach that the owner does not want used and is listed as for display only. You will also be asked to do laundry and clean the house before you leave even though you are paying for a cleaning service which isn't a big deal but is a little unusual. This is a beautiful home but if you are driving remember to bring your own toliet paper and beach accessories and if you are flying in make sure you are prepared to go shopping.
Owner response:The contract I send to people tells them exactly that they are to furnish their own paper products. I called the person who rented the house and he new nothing of the review that was sent. Obviously this is a young member of his family I assume. The beach mats this person refers to is a decorative big vase with beach mats in it on the stairwell. Its just for decoration and not for their use. I don't know why this review was even put in as it is unfounded. There are a few notes around the house just to be helpful to the renters and as anyone who owns a rental knows that many people do not treat your house as well as their own. My house is decorated beautifully and many more things in it that many rental houses do not have. I could get rid of many decorative items and then it would be a ho-hum boring run of the mill rental. Mine is not. Its beautiful. I am not a hotel and do not have a maid coming in everyday with toilet paper for them. I supply the first roll and the contract tells them to supply their own paper products. It should not be a surprise. I try to please. Jan

Home away from home! Great location, liked that home was not located right in the heart of Panama City Beach but minutes away from local attractions. Schooners is great, good food and music and you can walk there in 2-minutes. Loved all of the bathrooms because it was a houseful of moms/daughters. The beach was very clean. Ran/walked in St. Andrews Park - beautiful ($2 to enter, so bring money with you). Had a great time and we would definitely stay here again.

I work in the travel industry and needed some time away from the fast pace of my work schedule. I was pleased from the time I started the quick process to rent this amazing property. I was blown away by the details from the front door to the sheets that are on all of the beds. The pool area is fabulous and it was a joy to host my family's dinner. The white sands of the beach was a great way to wake up to every morning and I enjoyed my evening walks. I will be renting this property next year.

The house had everything we could need, the pool was amazing, the kitchen well stocked, the linens soft and everything was so clean! This was the perfect retreat! We had our dogs as this is a pet friendly spot and they loved it!
