About the host
Hosted by Katherine Barrett
I'm Katherine, and I've been managing vacation rentals here in Panama City Beach for years. What started as helping friends prep their beach places has turned into a bit of an obsession with getting the details right—good coffee setup, actual comfortable furniture, plants that won't die while you're here.
I spend probably too much time thinking about things like whether the living room layout actually makes sense for conversation and hunting down art from local creators. My weekends usually involve rescuing plants from nurseries and falling down rabbit holes of podcasts about everything from behavioral economics to why certain songs get stuck in your head.
The goal with Starfish 509 is pretty straightforward: you shouldn't have to think about anything except whether you want another cup of coffee on the balcony. I know the spots locals actually go to, which restaurants are worth the drive, and where to find the good stuff that doesn't show up in the typical beach guides.
I'm not going to blow up your phone, but I'm around if you need recommendations or run into any issues. Just trying to make sure you have the kind of vacation where you actually relax.
Why they chose this property
Families love being minutes from Emerald Falls Family Recreation Center (go-karts, mini golf, arcade). Nature lovers can slip over to St. Andrews State Park for trails, calm coves, and wildlife. Prefer to keep it low-key? Pop into Panama City Beach Winery (also in St. Thomas Square) for complimentary Florida-fruit wine tastings.
This neighborhood blends the best of PCB: casual eats, local treats, emerald-water beaches across the road, and a laid-back lagoon vibe—perfect for sunset walks, easy mornings, and unhurried days.
