Perfect Beach Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at the Stutzman Beach Cottage so much! It really was perfect for our beach vacation. The house was very clean and well-maintained. Short distance to the beach. We’ve already talked about staying here again on our next trip!

Well, we rented the property based off of the fact that it included a golf cart. The rental is more expensive than others but I assumed the golf cart would make up for that. It left us stranded while trying to go out to eat. We were left walking with 3 kids and had to pay out of pocket for a rental golf cart to get us home since my husband is a disabled Veteran & him and the kids couldn’t make the walk back. Alerted the owner and the concern was only the golf cart- not the renters. I assume that I expected to be offered reimbursement for the cost of the cart but it was never even hinted at. There is a keurig but no kcups, there is a dishwasher but you aren’t provided dishwasher detergent, a washer and dryer, but no detergent. There were roaches in the utensil drawers despite the home appearing clean. However, there was poison for roaches so I suppose it is an ongoing issue. Owner says to not lower AC below 74, so even with fans in every room- everyone struggled to sleep because it was sweaty. Maybe a lack of insulation? A dog friendly rental but the neighbors dogs bark at you & your dogs anytime they go out to use the restroom. We could actually overhear them talking about us as if we were an issue, stating, “great, they’re home again” while we let our dogs out. The police made me aware that the cart was NOT legal to be on the street at all. Overall, just a very disappointing experience. I did text the owner about these issues prior to making this review but was left on read.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your vacation did not meet your expectations. Regarding the golf cart, our rental agreement and welcome information clearly state that the cart is not permitted on roads with posted speed limits of 30 mph or higher. It is perfectly legal on our neighborhood side streets, as well as traveling to and from the beach. It is not legal within the city limits of Panama City Beach, but that is over 2 miles from our cottage and can only be reached be traveling on restricted roads. The golf cart was abandoned with depleted batteries almost eight miles from the cottage, so yes, we were concerned about getting it back before it got towed or stolen. When notified, we immediately focused on l determining the cart's location and condition. While we understand the inconvenience this situation caused, the cart's failure was the direct result of it being operated outside the guidelines provided to guests. For clarification, the golf cart is legal for use on approved local roads in accordance with Bay County law. It is not intended for unrestricted travel across town. It is a regular golf cart, not a registered and plated Low Speed Vehicle. As for the home's amenities, we provide a fully stocked kitchen with cookware and utensils, as well as a small starter amount of paper products, but guest have to provide their own consumables. We also maintain a professional pest-control service, which is common in coastal and warm-weather environments. Any concerns reported during a stay are taken seriously and addressed as quickly as possible. We appreciate all guest feedback and continuously work to provide a positive experience for our visitors.

Great Place!

The house is very nicely furnished. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Great location and nice neighbors. Loved it here. Best PCB vacation ever! The grandkids loved the backyard when they came to visit. We did not use the golf cart because we like to walk and the beach access is just down the street but the cart is a nice touch. Would stay here again for sure!

Wonderful vacation in a great cottage!

My family and I could have not been more pleased with this rental. It had more than enough room for my wife, daughter and I and could have fit few more people with if needed. It was VERY clean, nicely decorated and in a great location. The golf cart was a wonderful bonus. A 2 minute drive to the beach and we were in the water. The area was great and we even got to know some of the neighbors who live there. If you are weighing your options with other locations, be assured that you an your family will be very pleased with this house. I will be back again next year for sure.

We Enjoyed Our Stay at Stutsman Family Cottage

This is a nice little house 2 blocks from the Gulf of Mexico white sand beaches. We had a family get together consisting of 4 adults and 4 children and we all fit nicely. The house is clean and tidy. The wifi works great as whenever we were all in everyone seemed to be on their devices. My wife and the kids enjoyed taking the golf cart to the beach. There are beach chairs and toys that came in handy. The Carousel grocery store is less than a mile and Thomas donut shop just another 2 blocks away. One could walk to get all the necessities. We found Buddy's Seafood to be a good place to get fresh seafood and the grill came in handy for cooking the shrimp and fish. More shopping and other attractions are just a short drive away. Nice quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors who made us feel at home. The house is nicely furnished at meal time everyone had a place to sit and our only complaint would be the dollar store silverware. I'm going to miss sitting outdoors in the back soaking up the morning sunshine and warm temps. We really enjoyed our stay and this cottage will be on our list of favorite places to visit.

Just right

This is a great little house, nicely redone, and at a great price. Comfortable beds and furniture. Not too far to the beach in a quiet, settled community. Quick and easy trip to the beach with the golf cart. Multiple public beach accesses straight ahead down the street. We would not hesitate to rent this house again. Description and pictures are very good. No surprises. Owner has thought of everything you might need! Laguna Beach is so nice and quiet, away from the busy Panama City Beach area. No high rises or busy streets, just family beach houses and small condo units--but close enough to grociery stores and PCB restaurants.

Beware of cameras and nosey neighbors!

To start the property was nice and in a quite neighborhood and close to the beach. The golf cart was perfect for transporting to and from the beach. The place is clean and as advertised. That's where it went south. On our way down we were emailed the entry code and told of cameras at the premises which is a first for me and not listed in the property details. As a property owner I could understand but as a family on vacation its definitely different not being able to go outside without someone able to see your every move. We usually vacation with my family, different rooms but close by and enjoy the week together. We do most meals together either at restaurants or at our rooms. That has never been an issue until this year when I see a neighbor peeking around the fence. As soon as my family pulls up to the house. Shortly after I recieve a text mentioning a party and threatening charges and everyone not renting must leave the property. If it were a party I'd understand. but when its family coming by for dinner... no music, no alcohol, no smoking., not even loud talking. Simply family with young children coming to eat a meal and go back to their condo all at 9:00 in the evening. To be threatened becomes an issue. A phone call back to the owner and explaining the situation allowed everyone to be able to eat but was told to have everyone out by 10:30. Which was done. Reguardless, I'm on vacation and there is usually no schedule for my family. Simply enjoy the week with each other. So If you want a place where you can enjoy a vacation and not worry about nitpicking and nosey neighbors watching every move....It would be better to pick another spot. If you want privacy you may want another spot. If you dont mind these things it's not a bad place to spend the week.

We love to host families in our cottage. Unfortunately this guest booked for 5 but ended up bringing 12 and then invited a lot more people over for an event . Our cottage will only house a maximum of 8 guests comfortably and safely. There were at least 20 people on the premises at one time. Such a disappointment for us as hosts to have to deal with guests that are less than upfront with their intentions. I hope this guest is able to rent a place big enough for their needs and events. Our security cameras are clearly mentioned in the rental agreement and are trained on outside areas easily visible from the street. Our wonderful neighbors bring us many compliments and repeat guests.

Wonderful Beach Place!

This is a wonderful place to stay. I brought my 16-year-old son, mother-in-law, husband and dachshund for a week at the end of June 2017. Plenty of room for us all. The beds were very comfortable and the house is in great shape. It is obvious that the homeowners take great care of the home. One of the renters prior to us washed some pants with a penny in the pocket and this clogged the washing machine drain and left a pool of water on the floor. Mr. Dave had it taken care of for us right away. Super easy to work with and didn't even ask us to stay for the repair person! This is a great couple to work with. The only thing I would suggest is to bring a few blankets or quilts. Those black couches are leather and I worried about damaging them so we tossed some blankets over them for protection. The golf cart was so much fun to use. We rode to the beach every day we were there. When I come back to PCB I will stay here. Nice quiet part of the beach with some great sand bars to explore. Beautiful shells. Close to grocery shopping so you could stay out of the traffic and bustle or you can choose to be a part of it. Thanks Dave and Arlene for sharing your place!!
