Laguna beach gem

From the host to the cabin location, everything was above expectations. The cabin has its quirks as it is an almost 100yr old home. But everything served well for us. The location is perfect, right across the street from the beach and Thomas’ donuts which was very convenient. This is our new family vacation spot!

Great Place a few steps from the beach

My family of seven stayed here in early April. There was room for all of us an enough kitchen to cook meals when we did not go out. Right across from Thomas Donuts and Ice Cream and easy access to the beach. Lots of space on the beach to spread out and not too busy but still really close to all of the other places and activities.

The cabin was great. Definitely a memorable stay! I come to the area for work quite a bit, and when possible, my family comes with me. We love Thomas' Donuts, and it's walking distance! Definitely an old log cabin that has old house quirks, but so fun! Stacey is so easy to get in touch with, and quick to respond. Tommy

Cozy, Quaint, & Perfect Location!

10/10 in all categories! The location was perfect, the beach was just steps away from the cabin & we were far enough away from central PCB that we didn’t have to worry about an over crowded beach. Thomas Donuts was an absolute hit, such a wonderful perk! The house was lovely; it included all of the essentials one might need for their stay & the beds were very comfortable! Another bonus was that Stacey’s home was pet friendly, as we brought our pups with us. Overall, we had a fabulous time & we would absolutely love to stay again soon!

Location is awesome with lots space!

Quiet, peaceful easy location. Thomas donuts next door and beach a few steps away. Parking is small, but enough for two cars. Great beach toys, ect, but bring umbrella. Coffee pot was both single pod or drip pot. Beds were comfy, and plenty of space for our family if 6. The only cons, were the air conditioner in den was rather warm, the house is on a noticeable slant, and the garbage can is entirely too small for the house. None of these things were deal breakers. We had a great stay! Thank you for sharing your historic house!

About the host

Hosted by stacey sullivan

Host profile image
Hi and welcome to The Cabin! I bought this so my kids and grandkids can enjoy being so close to the beach. I also have another 4 bedroom beach house that has a private beach (gatecode required) in the Bid A Wee area of PCB if a larger home is needed. I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for looking! Best, Stacey

Why they chose this property

Why pay a lot more $$$$ to have a house on the sand when you can stay right across the street and have the same gorgeous sunset views? Enjoy everything PCB has to offer! Dolphin tours are the best! Swimming with them in the Gulf? Amazing! Laguna Beach is west end Panama City Beach. Close to Carousel Market (walk right down Front Beach Rd). And, of course, Thomas Donuts (now offering full breakfasts, lunches and pizza, desserts). We are right across the street from Thomas Donuts on Front Beach Rd with dedicated beach-nothing blocks the view!

What makes this property unique

There aren't a lot of beach houses that have unobstructed views. And.. you have Thomas Donut SnackShack right there too! Win-Win! Happy guests are the BEST and that's my goal-always! Thank you!
