Very clean vacation

We loved the cleanliness and the location of this home. We had to call and get code on the day of arrival. Also post info on garbage pickup, pool service and checkout procedures needs to be posted in house.

Family Time

Property was just as described. Very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy time with our family. The golf cart provided just what we needed to get back and forth to the beach without having to load up the car. Had a blast and would recommend it to anyone considering using this property.

Great Family House Close to Beach

We stayed for five nights with 3 kids and my parents and the house was perfect. The house was very clean and had everything we needed during our stay. It was nice having a pool to enjoy in the evenings or to give my youngest a break from the beach. The golf cart made it easy to go back and forth from the beach with the kids. The neighborhood is very quiet. We really enjoyed our time and would love to stay again.

Great Stay

This was a great property for our family (ages 2 - 75). It was clean, nicely decorated, and everything was conveniently located on one floor. The kitchen was well stocked with pots / utensils for home cooked meals and the pool was a great size for afternoon swims. The golf cart was perfect for loading up and it was just a short ride to beach (~4 mins). The property manager was easy to contact and quick to respond. I highly recommend this property!

Annual girls trip

We had a great time. House was very clean - probably the most clean VRBO we have stayed in! Location was great and it was awesome to have the golf cart to go back and forth to the beach. Pool was great and very clean also. The only suggestion we would have is to have more pads on the outdoor lounge chairs. Thank you for the communication too! We are already looking at coming back next year.

Quiet and convenient

My husband, daughter and I rented this property for a week while we were in town for the USFA World Series and we loved the location!! It was quiet and away from the craziness of Pier Park but close enough to go and enjoy the crazy when we wanted to. Very attentive staff when the bathroom sink clogged, they were there to fix it within an hour! This house is very well kept, clean, cozy, and stocked with everything you need! We would absolutely book again!

Great experience!

I had to come down last minute for work. The property was great. Easy to book, easy to find, and overall just exactly what I needed. I have stayed at many different short term rentals since I started working in the area a few years ago, and this was one of, if not the, cleanest and most functional houses I have ever stayed at. Kudos to the management team! Thank you for a great experience.

Enjoyed our stay!! Liked amenities like pool and golf cart. House was nice and everything worked. Recommend shower wand in shower and longer shower curtain. Could not figure how to watch local channels on TV, but found other things to watch when in the house. Overall we would recommend this rental and look to do it again sometime!

Amazing Rental House

We thoroughly enjoyed our week. The house was well maintained and clean. The private pool was the feature that made us choose this property. In addition, having the golf cart to move around Panama City was really convenient. No real complaints at all. One minor suggestion...maybe add cable to, at least, the main TV in the living room. Already planning a trip back to Panama City and we hope to stay at this house when we do. Thank you.

The house was very nice. It was just as the pictures showed. The pool was a hit with the grandkids. The only problem we had was the golf cart. On the way there, I received a text with the agreement to use the cart. The agreement stated that since the cart was electric, we could only drive it 5 miles, and then it would need to be charged again overnight. It also stated that we could not use it at night. Basically, it was good to drive a few blocks to the beach during daylight hours, and that was it. We rented a cart because we are used to having one to drive shopping, dinner, and to the beach day or night. That was the only disappointment about this property.

Incredible experience!

The house is so amazing and very well maintained. The kitchen is perfect for a beach trip. Everything is brand new. The bedrooms are plenty big enough for adults and kids alike. The golf cart made getting back and forth to the beach a BREEZE (even better than a Condo where you have to fight for an elevator). The pool kept my kids occupied for hours. Love the Rokus so we could watch our normal streaming services. Wi-Fi is really fast, so perfect if you're remotely working for the week. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. A+ Experience all around. We plan to book again.

Home away from home!

Anytime you rent a place on line there is always a little fear that your going to arrive and things not be as pictured. That is not the case with this house. It was clean, spacious and stocked with its everything we needed. Checking in was super easy, and everything was in excellent condition. THE POOL!! If ever I have a pool in my back yard I want one just like this. It’s got a privacy fence, it’s clean and it’s a pretty good size. We truly enjoyed every minute of this vacation. I will definitely rent this place again. Please if your looking for a comfy place to stay check this place out. Oh yes and before I forget the ocean is literally a couple of streets over. Maybe a 5 min walk , or you can drive the golf cart. Thanks for listening. Sincerely , A very happy customer.

Great house!! Pool is awesome

We had a great time renting this home. It was a little smaller than we expected. The bunk bed room looked much bigger in the photos but over all that was fine. The only complaint I have is that they said the kitchen is well stocked. I think there could have been more house hold items there so we didn’t need to buy them like tin foil, Olive oil or even salt and pepper. The golf cart also needs to be replaced. It moved at a snails pace especially if we had 4 people on it. I expected something nicer and that we could trust to take us around for the day. The pool was fantastic. I’m so glad we got a pool with the house. The outdoor lights didn’t work so it was hard to swim at night. Over all we had a good time and the house was nice. I would stay there again
