Great Family Getaway
The house was absolutely beautiful and well stocked with all the essentials and some extras. Our kids loved the bunkroom and the game room. They have everything you need for a trip to the beach (coolers, chairs, towels, etc.) I really appreciated the high locks on all the outside doors to keep little ones safe. The host was excellent and very responsive! She gave lots of great recommendations! The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors very friendly. The house was very clean! There is lots to do in the town and at the house. I highly recommend staying here! It's definitely a place we would come back to!

Beautiful home, fabulous host!
This property was as beautiful in person as in the photos. We came with our kids, parents, and our grandparents. It was the perfect home for everyone. The kids loved the pool and hot tub and game home. Adults loved how close we were to the beach and all of the amazing beach things available at the home! The tents, umbrellas, wagons, towels, bicycles, chairs, etc saved us so much space when packing. The host was so helpful and responsive. Before our visit she sent us recommendations of places to visit during our stay, we loved everything she recommended. We had to contact her once during our stay and she was so quick to respond and help us get things figured out. We cannot wait to come back!

Family Vacation
We set up this trip for our adult children, spouses and grandchildren to spend the week together. We had a great time and the house was just as advertised and accommodated us perfectly! Hosts were very easy to communicate with for check-in, check-out, aside from that we didn't need them because everything was as expected. When traveling to this area in the future we will book this property again!

Best vacation!
The location of the house was perfect! We rode the bikes provided to the beach to watch the sunset. It was also a quick drive in the car to the beach and parking was convenient. The rental came with beach chairs and a cooler so it was easy to get everything we needed for a day in the sun. The pool and hot tub at the house were clean and the whole backyard was beautiful and relaxing. The kitchen had everything we needed and the house was newly remodeled and spacious. The hosts answered all our questions quickly and gave great recommendations for local restaurants and fun things to do. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Panama City! I am booking for next year now!
