Right to the water

Beach right out the back door. Perfect set up in the unit. It is also far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The units are very close together and there were some rude young men two decks down using bad language but it didn’t last long. Very good stay!!

Great location!

What an amazing property! This townhome had everything that we needed (and more) to make our one week out of the year at the beach an amazing one! The fact that the beach was only a few steps away from our deck was the whole reason we stayed here and it did not disappoint. What I didn't anticipate was how beautiful the nights on the beach would be, wow. My parents came down for a few days and cooked crab legs and shrimp, which we were able to eat out on the deck while enjoying the sunset. Great location! Great and responsive host!

Nice Vacation spot!

The beach house was very nice. Our family of 5 along with both Grandparents were more than comfortable. We would definitely considering renting again. We've been to Panama City Beach before and know how beautiful the water can be, unfortunately storms messed with the water this year. We had an amazing time. 30 sec walk and your feet are in the water. My biggest complaint would have to be it was very busy being right next to a Public Beach Access.

Perfect Fall Break

Charlotte was wonderful to work with and we will definitely try to book one of her properties for future vacations. The location and house was perfect for our stay. We do not like a crowded beach and on some days we felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. The house had everything we needed. We had clear water and beautiful weather all week. Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful Vacation Week @ Drift Away

Drift Away was a wonderful property. We loved that it was in the quieter west end of PCB. It was so nice to step off the deck & be at the water’s edge within 30 seconds. Drift Away definitely met our wants & needs. The house is beautifully decorated, beds were comfortable and the kitchen well-stocked. The owners contacted us before our week started with suggestions on restaurants & things to do. We would stay at Drift Away again.

Clean - Cozy - Convenient

This property was everything we hoped for and more! We booked during COVID when things were touch and go, but Charlotte was an AMAZING host and INCREDIBLY accommodating during an unsure time with seamless communication. Check In/Out was the easiest experience I have had to date. This condo is exactly like the pictures with its cleanliness and coziness except the pictures don’t even do it justice to how you are LITERALLY right on the beach. A friend in the group who has stayed in property on the beach before said none were as close as Drift Away! When we were looking to book the set up of this property was the best for us because we had 3 small families so each family had a bedroom and bathroom to themselves. There were 6 adults, 6 children , and an infant with plenty of room for all. I was a little worried about no dining table especially with the kids but the bar/barstools are countertop height instead of bar height which was perfect plus we spent most of the time eating at the table on the patio anyways soaking in the ocean views. Now let me speak on the location more - I’m not quite sure it can be beat to be honest. Again, It’s RIGHT ON THE Beach. It’s minutes from Panama City and a quick easy drive to Rosemary Beach/Seaside. There are grocery stores/gas stations within minutes. We took Charlotte’s advice on recommended restaurants and enjoyed every one of them. Oh and did I mention the beach toys - plenty for ALL of the kids to play with! I do recommend bringing your own beach chairs. We had the best week. A huge part being because of how perfect the layout of the property was for us and the location!
