Bay Front Home W/Private Bch in Historic Neighborhood. Family/Dog Friendly
This is not just a house for rent it is a home with family memories and local history displayed throughout. This home was built by my father in the 1950s. We finished a complete renovation in 2015, and it feels like a retreat.
It has an attached two car carport. Two ingress/egress points: carport door & Bayside door. The carport door opens into a full kitchen with laundry. It has full size appliances with front loading washer/dryer and it is fully stocked with the basic necessities and essentials required for a pleasant stay. The kitchen opens into the family room with games, tv, dvd player, wireless speaker & fireplace. Through the living room you come to the bay room and dining room with huge windows to take in the gorgeous views of the bay, port & marina. The hall off the LR leads to the bedrooms & baths. First you come to the twin bed room that is equipped with a tv & bay view. Next is the queen size bed room with bay view. Across from these rooms is the main bath with tub & shower. Further down the hall is the master bedroom with a king bed, private bath, reading area and also with a bay view.
Now for the outside. Just outside the bay side door is an outside shower and fenced in side yard with plenty of shade. Right next to that is a relaxing brick patio with table & chairs and a beautiful bay view. Also on the bay side of the house is a large deck with rocking chairs, dining table, benches and a sail shade for you to relax and enjoy the views and the wonderful bay breeze. From the deck and all the bayside windows you can see the huge grass front yard that is a certified wildlife habitat for birds and butterflies which leads to your private bay front beach complete with beach chairs and fire pit. Take a look at the photos tab to get a taste of what you might see from the beach and deck.
The house is stocked with bath towels/cloths, soaps, detergents, cleaning supplies, hair dryers, flat iron, magnifying mirror, iron & ironing board, dvds and a special 'forget me not' basket with most anything you might have forgotten. You are also welcome to enjoy the 'put-n-take' library just at the hall entrance. We didn't forget about the furry guests. We have a large crate, dog beds, bowls, leash, brush, toys and towels for your dog. We have a dogs only pet policy.
We offer nightly and weekly rates throughout the year. Monthly rates are available for October through February during which time we will rent for a maximum of 31 days per stay.

About the host
Hosted by Ellen Mapelsden and Robbie Fehrenbach
As my family grew in numbers, my father built this Bayfront home. My parents, two sisters, brother and I created so many wonderful memories here and would love for you to have the opportunity to have your own experiences and adventures in this incredible neighborhood.
Robbie & I love St. Andrews. We live here and have operated our local coffee house for the past 17 years in St. Andrews, while working with the neighborhood residents, businesses and community leaders to revitalize this wonderful sleepy village. Having recently sold our business, we re-directed our lives to the path to restore my childhood home in an effort to carry on my parents' legacy of a warm, peaceful and inviting place to live, even if only for a short visit.
Why they chose this property
This is my family home built by my father in 1958. My parents raised my younger brother and two sisters and me in this warm and inviting home. It is directly on the bay in a tree canopied Historic neighborhood. Not only did these surroundings influence our childhoods, but it has influenced the childhoods of several generations as it was the site of many family and friends gatherings over the years. It was one of my mother's greatest joys to see people appreciate the surroundings here and have a great time while doing it. We know she is smiling down at the chance to spread the fun and enjoyment and adventure this homestead has to offer.
What makes this property unique
Stunning views day & night of the bay, St. Andrews Marina and Panama City Port from the private beach, the deck, the brick patio, the bayroom and every bedroom. There are also four kayaks for your enjoyment and a firepit on the beach. The water has a very slow descent before it gets deep, making it a great place for the kids to splash and play, under adult supervision of course.
