Given it was “Thunder Beach” week, we appreciated the location away from the Pier Park area. The house was just the right size and looked to be recently updated. Having the pool was awesome as we could go out at any point morning noon or night. It was only a short walk to the beach so we didn’t even need to use the golf cart that was provided on site. It’s a rental that we would come back to, even with more family.

This property worked out great for us! It was exactly as advertised, very clean, and the host was great to work with. We appreciated the location, away from the high rise areas and heavy traffic, yet very close to the beach access point. The pool got plenty of use, heater and lights worked well. The golf cart was a fun bonus!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sandpiper Cottage. Everything was exactly as posted on VRBO. Erica & John were very helpful with getting the pool heated. It was really close to the beach. We walked down there every morning. The beach is beautiful & not crowded at all. We also loved having the golf cart do drive around in. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Panama City Beach.
