Family Vacation with a small pet
I typically don't leave reviews, but from the point of reservation to check-out, the property manager addressed all questions and concerns in a timely manner.The property's location felt safe, well-maintained, and was conveniently close to the beach and shopping. The pictures on the website were exactly as it was depicted. The home layout and cleanliness were great! The beds were comfortable and had a memory foam topper. I especially appreciated the fact that it had a large yard for my fur baby to walk around and play outside (attended, of course).There were no complaints from other family members. I would reserve this place again if I were to return to Panama City.

Perfect Spot
The house was exactly as advertised. Beautifully decorated with a great beach theme throughout. It had everything we needed & it was nice to have toiletries provided to start us off. Great/quiet neighborhood & enjoyed our walks with our dog. Would absolutely stay here again if we come back to the area.
