Throughly enjoyed our stay. Quiet neighborhood, nice neighbors. Plenty of room for our party of four but was enough easily for 6. We will definitely book again on our next trip. This property is 15-20 from Panama City are beaches and only a 10 minute walk to St Andrew’s Bay. Minutes to downtown Panama City restaurants and shopping. Our host was always available when we had questions before arrival and the whole time during our stay.

House is in a quiet neighborhood. Adorable little older home. Check events in the area. Downtown PC and St Andrews had market day on saturday. There is an arcade and pub in PC if you have kids or a kid at heart and wanna reminisce. We had 2 pets with us and it was nice to have the yard fenced it to let them run around. Small bay beach across Scenic 98 within walking distance.
