Spacious home w/ deck, hot tub & Gulf views - across from the beach, 2 dogs OK!

You'll be just a few steps from soft white sand and warm Gulf waves at this four-bedroom Panama City Beach home, a beautiful group retreat with an expansive outdoor deck - featuring a hot tub, a dog-friendly interior, and an enviable position across the street from a beach access point. Perfectly situated in the neighborhood of Lower Grand Lagoon, this cheerful, two-level home enjoys peek-a-boo views of the azure Gulf of Mexico. You'll be right across the road from Public Beach Access Point No. 3, one mile west of St. Andrews State Park, and 10 miles east of the shops, restaurants, and entertainment of Pier Park. Sandy's Beach House is uniquely suited for groups and multi-family getaways, as it features two living rooms and three full kitchens. The home has been thoroughly renovated to include a durable metal roof, brand new air conditioning units and appliances, and a remodeled interior with a fresh coat of paint. Leave your beach bags and flip-flops by the door as you come inside to cool off from the tropical Florida sun. Pile on the sofas in one of the living rooms, where you can use the WiFi to make dinner plans, shuffle a deck of cards for a friendly game of poker, or watch your favorite cable shows on one of the eight TVs. But with such a spectacular deck awaiting, you won't be indoors for long. This large space offers views of the Gulf of Mexico, a shaded patio table for al fresco meals, and several lounge chairs for afternoon naps in the sun. The yard below is enclosed by a red picket fence, creating the perfect spot for two dogs to stretch their legs (please note that a 25-lb. weight limit and a small nightly pet fee apply). As dinnertime rolls around, fire up the gas grill for a barbecue feast and head inside to prepare your ingredients in one of the three kitchens. With two kitchens downstairs and one upstairs, your guests can enjoy as much privacy or togetherness as they'd like, as well as a refrigerator, oven, stove, and dishwasher in each space. Sit down to eat at one of the indoor dining tables, or bask in the evening warmth at the patio table outside. As the kids flock to the game room for a night of movies and Ping-Pong, the parents can watch the sunset, sip tropical cocktails mixed in the bar room, or simply relax in lounge chairs beneath the stars. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, Sandy's Beach House will sleep as many as 10 guests (including a maximum of eight adults). The first three bedrooms are outfitted with a queen-size bed and a flatscreen TV apiece, while the fourth has a twin bunk bed (that is intended for child use only). A sofabed offers additional accommodations, and a washer/dryer will keep your bathing suits and towels fresh and beach-ready. Whether you're planning a Florida escape with friends or family, you'll fall in love with the natural setting of Panama City Beach. Walk across the street to spend your days swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and kayaking, or head one mile east to find two fishing piers, a jetty, a boat ramp, and nature trails in the gorgeous expanse of St. Andrews State Park. In search of some family-friendly entertainment? Treat your kids to a day at Gulf World Marine Park, which offers interactive encounters with dolphins and harbor seals, a variety of wildlife shows, and shark and stingray feedings just nine miles west. You'll also be perfectly positioned to end the evening with dinner and a movie at the Grand 16 at Pier Park. Then come home and take a luxurious soak in the hot tub. Your Florida retreat can begin right now - don't wait another minute to book your stay at this Panama City Beach home! *Please note, all guests occupying this property who are under the age of 25 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
