About this property
Stunning Three Story PCB House - Pool - Pet Friendly - Gulf Views
Just steps from the white-sand beaches in Panama City Beach, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath vacation rental is perfect for a family Gulf getaway! The expansive beach house hosts 6 adults comfortably and boasts a nautically-themed decor, a private patio, balconies, beach and pool. Aptly named ‘Anchors Away Beach House’ this villa rests in an exclusive, centrally located community of ten 3-story townhomes and provides a luxurious retreat in the Sunshine State.
THE PROPERTY:
Primary Bedroom (Mermaid Room): King Bed, Queen Sleeper Sofa; Bedroom 2 (Starfish Room): King Bed; Bedroom 3 (Light House): Queen Bed; Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa.
This ideally located, Southern Coastal decor villa invites you to bring your family, friends and pets for a pristine Florida getaway with easy beach access. Spend your mornings soaking up the sun at the pool and your afternoons cooking chargrilled feasts to enjoy on one of the 2 second-floor balconies.
‘Anchors Away’ features an open floor plan with 10-foot tall ceilings in each of its beach-themed bedrooms and common areas. Mornings are best spent sipping a warm cup of coffee on the third-story balcony while gazing out at the Gulf. After you’ve loaded up your beach wagons with chairs, prepare your group a hardy breakfast in the second-floor, fully equipped kitchen outfitted with a 4-burner electric range, clean white cabinetry, and sleek granite countertops. If you’re looking for extra space to cook, the first floor has an additional well-equipped kitchen with a fridge and 4-burner electric range.
When you return from your sun-filled day, unwind on the back patio with your favorite refreshments while watching the sun fade to early evening with your travel companions or sitting by the pool. Finish off the night by watching your favorite movies on the flat-screen cable TV in the living room or people watching on the second or third-floor balconies to enjoy a refreshing ocean breeze! Each balcony is covered to enjoy the Florida environment in any type weather.
Retreat to one of the 3 bedrooms as you start to get tired and relax on the cloud-like mattresses surrounded by cozy furnishings. Draw a soothing bubble bath in the upstairs en-suite bathroom tub if you’re looking for a bit more pampering before retiring for the night!
THE LOCATION:
Start your day by walking down to the Panama City Beach access to watch the sunrise. My family uses Beach Access #65 when staying at Anchors Away.
If you’re looking for some retail therapy during your stay, drive 6 minutes to reach Pier Park shopping mall. The mall boasts a variety of outlets where you will find anything from apparel, to beach supplies and fantastic restaurants.
For my pet parents, Frank Brown Park and Aaron Bessant Park is only 1.3 miles from the house. Each park offers a pet-friendly environment and offers 70 acres of open lawn space, picnic areas and lush foliage. The pet-friendly beach is located at the Pier Park beach only minutes from Anchors Away.
Explore one of the many delicious local eateries on the nights that you’re not dining at home. The Sandbar Seafood and BBQ is a short walk from the property and an excellent spot to have your favorite beverage or enjoy some of their delicious entrees, ranging from fresh oysters to award-winning barbecue.
THE ANCHORS AWAY EXPERIENCE:
’Anchors Away’ is a five-star-rated awarded vacation rental and has been reviewed by independent travel agents for its location, beach access, amenities, size, cleanliness and affordability since 2016 - 2026. Anchors Away is inspected after each guest departure to ensure it is ready and up to my expectations each time. I want all my guests to be treated with luxury and a worry-free vacation. The reviews have focused upon guests being treated like family and indicating that this is their new beach-home-away-from-home. Most of my new family return for seasonal retreats, vacations, romantic getaways, shopping weekends, concerts or sporting events.
THE ANCHORS AWAY PET POLICY:
My pet policy allows for a maximum of six pets (dogs only - no size limit). A $200.00 non-refundable pet fee allows me to ensure that my house is ready for my next friends and family’s arrival. The balconies are great for your pets to people watch but please do not leave them unattended if they are teacup size and adventurous. Do yourself a favor and do not leave home without your pet.
SEASONAL ACCOMMODATIONS:
Please contact me through a VRBO Inquiry if you would like to vacation at my house for 28 days or more. I will assist you with a reasonable rate through VRBO.
JO’s PROMISE:
My husband and I have traveled extensively with our pets and found most hotels and houses sub-par. I want all my guests to experience the luxury, safety and cleanliness that we all are expecting when traveling. I also want to take the guess-work out of travel. I encourage all my potential guests to research our area and my house. Through VRBO you can see the exact location of your vacation getaway with the Google Earth finder located at the bottom of the web page of the house you are interested. My house is near beach access # 65 ( approximately 100 yards) which all my guests use to enter the beach. I want my guests to rest assured that they will have a dream house for their beach vacation. This is my home-away-from-home and I try to make sure it will be yours too for this vacation and many more to come.
Please take a few moments with your search and read the reviews. I am a PCB licensed beach vacation rental owner with the City of Panama City Beach and Panama City Beach Tourism Center. You will have a great time at Anchors Away and make family memories that will last a lifetime.
Sincerely, Jo.

Hi and thank you for taking the time to write your review. It is great having repeat guests. Look forward to assisting you with your stay next time. Safe travels. Jo
Loved the vacation. I would have only changed one thing, ….to stay longer. Very spacious house. Wonderful nautical decor. Privacy on each floor for every one as needed. Everyone had a great time and the beach access was amazing. The pool was directly across from the house so we stayed in the pool most of the mornings and afternoon when not on the beach. I used the balconies to keep an eye on the pool when the kids were there. Everyone had fun and really liked the location. Close to everything such as Dolly’s Pirate Theater, Pier Park and Magaritaville. We plan to return next year.
Great vacation. It was super clean and wonderful location. Outstanding spring break house with wonderful pool. I loved the balconies and privacy. l will return.

3rd Vacation @ Anchors Away. Spring Break 2026. Love the house, location and amenities. Great pool. Clean house. Dolly Parton’s Pirates Voyage theatre just minutes away. House is close to everything fun, most importantly, a great beach. People watch, and oversee the pool activities from your balconies. We will return again in spring break for sure.

About the host
Hosted by Jo
My friends and family call me Jo and I love to travel but I found pet friendly accommodations a challenge. Most of the time there was a pet weight / size, breed or number limit applied by the owner or hotel. For the locations that offered pet friendly houses, the venue was either subpar or not up to the cleanliness standards I required. That is when I decided to start my own vacation rental business in 2016. I started with a bed and breakfast in Mississippi which sparked my interest in other areas I traveled. Later, I added the Florida beach house and then a cabin in North Carolina. I always strive to make sure every travel experience is outstanding with attention to detail with cleaning and communication for my guests. I am registered with the City of Panama City Beach Tourism Authority and I look forward to providing you with a great vacation escape experience.
Why they chose this property
I offer one of the best locations in Panama City Beach. My beach house is centrally located so you have quick access to Pier Park, Frank Brown Park, Magaritaville, Dusty’s, Thomas’ Donuts, Dolly Parton’s Pirate Theatre and the “world’s most beautiful beaches”.
What makes this property unique
I am registered as a certified vacation rental owner with the City of Panama City Beach. I have been highlighted with several local magazines and national publications, including the PCB Tourism Board, as an outstanding beach vacation venue with “Anchors Away Beach House.” My beach house has a 24/7 fire and sprinkler safety system monitored by the PCB Fire Department. I have been in the hospitality business since 2016 offering luxurious beach houses, bed and breakfast venues and a Smoky Mountain cabin for worry free vacations with a Five Star rating since inception. My goal is to make your vacation my priority and ensure you have a wonderful vacation.
