Needed a getaway!

Loved the home! Had everything we needed and very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The walk to the beach was easy and grocery stores were a very short drive away. It was great having a washer/dryer. My husband even thanked me for choosing this place!

The house was nice. ....One down size to us was the owner did not want "frying"in the kitchen. Well sometimes we like something fried for a sandwich,etc. We like to cook most of our meals at some point probably includes frying....but didn't know this until after we had booked it (instructions from owner)..... Then the back yard was not cut so we didn't use the grills.....

Great cottage!

We try to attend PCB’s bike rally each year and this is my favorite place to stay thus far. It is beautifully decorated, clean, and fully stocked. Beds were comfortable and the sheets were luxurious…. Would love some for my own home. Terri was available and responsive when needed. We will definitely try to come back next trip. Becky and Lewis

Lovely Beach House

This is a very lovely beach house!! It has everything you need in the kitchen for preparing a meal. Especially loved have a Keurig!! The pictures are just as the house is with the exception of the backyard. Pictures show shades around the gazebo but there were none. We wanted to grill one night but the tank was empty....which we were told up front that it was a possibility that it might be empty. We just didn't really want to pay for a full tank & leave it as that can get expensive. All in all, we had a wonderful time & would certainly consider staying there again. Terri was so easy to work with always responded quickly to any questions we had! Wonderful beach trip!!

Emerald Coast Cruizin

We enjoyed our stay and the house was very well maintained and stocked. We went for Emerald Coast Cruizin car show but unfortunately the weather was pretty wet and our Mustang wiper motor quit so we didn't bring it. We decided to just go and enjoy the time away. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and not far from the beach and the venue. All and all a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Loved this place

The pictures of this cottage does not do it justice. There was seven of us and we all had plenty of space and I loved that it was within walking distance to the beach. My children had room to run in the back yard. I will definitely be staying there again.

Beautiful home

We had a wonderful stay. We had 4 adults and 3 kids and it was more than enough room for all of us. Kitchen had everything you would need to cook. Terry was great to help us with any questions we had. The property was very clean and well kept. We will definitely come back.

Wonderful!

We had an amazing stay here! The house was incredibly clean— I can be picky about cleanliness and I was thoroughly impressed! I can tell that Terri takes pride in her properties and makes sure everything is clean and orderly. We had no issues walking to the beach with our kids (ages 6 and 4) and the house felt very welcoming and homey— just the right amount of beach decor without going overboard. We definitely hope to stay here again and again!

Nice place to stay

We really loved the beach here. The house was a short 5 blocks walk and the wagon supplied was helpful in taking all our towels and chairs and cooler. Loved the shower-my hair has never felt so soft! Overall, a nice stay.

Great place!

We loved our stay. Quick walk to the beach. Beautiful neighborhood that is not too close to the Panama City tourists, but also just a quick 10 minute drive to all activities. We would definitely stay here again.
