Our stay at this vacation rental was honestly one of the best experiences we’ve had. The place was spotless when we arrived, and everything felt modern and up to date, which made it really comfortable to settle into right away. It was stocked with everything we needed for a full week—from kitchen essentials to extra linens—so we didn’t have to worry about bringing much with us.What really stood out was how much it felt like home. The space was cozy, welcoming, and thoughtfully put together, making it easy to relax after a long day. On top of that, the location couldn’t have been better. It was super close to shops, restaurants, and other attractions, which made getting around quick and convenient.Overall, this rental made our trip so much more enjoyable, and we would definitely stay here again.
The property was great. Great location. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay.

Thank you for your wonderful review! 🏖️ I’m so glad you and your family (and your sweet fur baby!) enjoyed your stay and the nearby dog beach. You were excellent guests, and I’d be happy to host you again anytime!
This was the perfect walking distance to the beach access, Funland, and goldf carts! Lillie is a gem and the place was very well equipped and very much a home away from home.

We loved this place and you will too. It’s so nice and clean. It has it all. Everything you need to have a great time. The location is great as well it’s just minutes away from everything. The water at the beaches here are beautiful. We also rented the golf cart and had a blast with it. The owner was very friendly and made us and our pets feel at home here. I highly recommend that you rent this place.

This location and house was perfect for me and my family. Lillie is an amazing host and you can tell she cares about everyone who stays at her home. It was fully stocked with all the linens and things I wouldn’t have thought of such as toothbrush, toiletries, etc. The home itself is beautiful and has a great flow and positive vibe to it. Very convenient to the private entry beach (literally a block away) and close to food and entertainment. We will be staying here again for sure!

Perfect house for our family of 6 plus our dog. The house is so cute and cozy and supplied with everything you could need. The private beach is definitely a huge bonus especially during a very busy spring break week. We give the Barefoot Bungalow 5 stars and hope to be back soon.

Ms. Lillie, THANKS AGAIN for everything. Pray to talk to you again. It was great spending time and visiting my family which I LOVE VERY VERY MUCH. We had a great time with the tumbling blocks and the outdoor fishing ring hook game.

So happy you and your family had a great time. Thank you for taking good care of my bungalow. I would love to host you and your family in the future.
Panama City Beach has grown over the years. You can't even see the ocean from the high-rise condos and hotels EXCEPT for this stretch of beach 1 block from this rental. It's a mile of undeveloped oceanfront and is absolutely gorgeous.
As for Lillie we truly could not have had a better host with the gift of hospitality. Looking forward to working with her again.
The 2 bedroom 1 bath house was clean and provided everything we needed. 5 stars 2 thumbs up.

What a wonderful spot! This cozy little spot has it all.
We were in town for a baseball tournament and needed a place for the week. Landed here. And how lucky t to find this place.
More room than anticipated. Never felt crowded at all. Plenty of room to stretch out and relax.
I worked a little bit and set up laptop on the dining table. While my son brought and played Xbox in the 85" TV.
Kitchen had most needed items for cooking as well. We used the crock pot to get up dinner dip!
Bedrooms were appointed with bedstand USB ports and nice comfy mattresses. Master had a remote for the fan.
Bathroom shower is great. Never ran out of hot water for 2 adults and 1 kid.
Plenty of parking available. We got in 4 vehicles with room for it baseball team and parents!! No joke!
Loved it. Will be back and since it's a duplex. Our friends are renting the other side!!!

About the host
Hosted by Lillie Hamil
I’m married and a proud mom of two wonderful kids, ages 13 and 19. Growing up in Jupiter, FL, I’ve always been drawn to the beach—it’s where I feel most at home. After moving to the Panhandle, I fell in love with Panama City Beach and knew I needed a vacation home near the water, not just for my family but to share with others.
There’s nothing quite like the breathtaking emerald-green waters of the Gulf of America and the legendary pure white sand. For me, it’s all about helping families and friends create unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.
Why they chose this property
