Great place for an extremely quiet getaway. Great neighborhood to experience all local food. Be prepared before reaching as the closet grocery place is about 20 minutes away
The property was excellent. Clean, well provisioned, beautiful location and easy to check into. We throughly enjoyed our stay. 10 out 10, would stay here again.
Nice clean property, close to boat ramp and a great restaurant. Comfortable living area and beds, plenty of parking, and outdoor space. Host responds ver quick with any questions or concerns. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
We really enjoyed our stay here! Great getaway with my husband and parents. It was clear the owners added all the little extra details from the decor to kitchen amenities. Everything you need for a quiet getaway in a beautiful, peaceful location.
We enjoyed our stay in Panacea! It was relaxing but we had plenty to do in the area if we wanted to be busy. We got recommendations from the owner as to good restaurants in the area and they did not disappoint! It was a great vacation!
We got bite up by fleas or something on couch sent my daughter to stay at my sisters we sprayed and
The property if it allows dogs it needs to bomb so people with no dogs don’t get all bitten up

I'm so sorry your vacation at BAyframe Lodge was not 100% perfect. We pride ourselves on having our rental homes in perfect shape for all our guests. I'm also sorry you felt the need to give us a public review instead of just talking to us. Our phone number sits right on the dining room table and. you could have called us about any problems at any time. In fact, we were just down the street the whole week you were there. As it happens, the house has been inspected and there were no traces of fleas found anywhere and we thoroughly inspect after each guest, whether they have a dog or not. Our guess is that if your children left the front door open for any length of time that you allowed "no see ums" into the home. They are thick this time of year in Florida and bite and look just like fleas. We can't say for sure, but again, if you'd just called we could have come down the street and inspected what you were seeing. Again, I'm sorry your vacation wasn't perfect and I'm very sorry you felt the need to discuss this in a public forum instead of having a conversation. After all, you did communicate with us when you wanted the favor of checking in super early. Then, we heard nothing from you all week until the cleaning crew arrived. Hope you have a good summer.
