Down By The Bay! St Andrews Gem-Pet Friendly, 1.5 blocks to the beach!

Restored Charming Florida Cottage
Fantastic Location!
All you need is your flip flops and bathing suit!
Walking distance to the beach, downtown St. Andrews and downtown Panama City. Quiet neighborhood but still in the middle of all there is to love about Panama City and the St. Andrews area.

THE SPACE:
As you enter this beautifully restored 1942 Florida Cottage, you are greeted first by the charming Florida room where you can enjoy your coffee in the morning, a cocktail in the evening or both! From there you are welcomed into the living room and dining room spaces, both offering a stunning backdrop of exposed brick and charm galore!

The tastefully decorated living room offers plenty of comfortable seating, television and cozy spaces to curl up with a good book. Next up, the beautiful kitchen is truly at the heart of this home! It is nestled between the dining room and the enclosed back porch so you are still part of the conversation while whipping up a gourmet meal! The enclosed porch comes complete with a pull out sleep sofa, comfy seating, electric fireplace, television, coffee station and plenty of games and reading for all ages.
Step down into the attached game room and you’ll find a foosball table, card table, more games and the laundry facilities.

The back yard is fully fenced with tons of space for corn hole, frisbee, or just relaxing under the covered seating area. Additional amenities include a fire-pit, BBQ grill, beach wagon, beach chairs and toys to make your day on the beach perfect!

3 full bedrooms each with queen beds, closets and dressers. Each is also equipped with room darkening shades. Full bath with tub and shower, start up shampoo, conditioner and soap included! Additional pull out sofa with queen bed.

You are 1 mile to downtown St. Andrews where you will find tons of great restaurants, shopping and the St. Andrews Marina! Also only 2 miles from downtown Panama City which is undergoing a wonderful revitalization!

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.
