Beautiful home!!
Love this house! I also appreciated that it was stocked with basic necessities like paper towels, paper plates, dishwasher pods, etc. Made the first day so much easier. The only confusion was first arriving - the address directs you to the owners entrance and for someone new to the area, finding the right entrance was not easy, but after we figured it out, we were good. Homeowners were awesome and helpful. Definitely would stay again!

Disappointing!
I have stayed in two other homes in this neighborhood and Brown Eyed Girl does not deserve a 5 star review. Primary bedroom has a window a/c, really. Kitchens pots and pans look like they were bought at yard sales and the people that rent the beach chairs were very rude and wanted a large tip each day if I wanted to be on the front row by the water. each day

We stayed for a week. The hosts are very responsive and provided great suggestions prior to the stay. It was great to have our dog with us. The location is fantastic, short walk to the beach and great for bike riding. The house is set up well for a family and is comfortable. We will be staying at this one again. Five stars from us!

Perfect Family Vacation
Wow. Don’t know where to start. This was by far our favorite rental in all the years coming down. Clean, spacious, kitchen perfectly stocked, comfy beds, perfect location. The owner even had a large box of pastries delivered the first morning. House is on a quiet Normal Rockwell like street, absolutely beautiful. This will be our go-to rental for all future vacations. Perfect is an understatement

Everything was perfect
This was our first time in the Seaside area and we would definitely return and stay here again.
Brown Eyed girl is located in such a great neighborhood, quiet, safe, comfortable beds, and had everything we needed. It is far enough from the square where we could bike easily, but could also stay away from the crowds if we wanted to. The teens were able to bike to friends in Seaside and Alys Beach without us having to worry. Even our pup had a great time and was so happy to be able to join us.

Brown Eyed Girl
The Brown Eyed Girl was a great place for our family. Dog friendly and plenty of room for 2 pups. Close to the pool and beach without crossing 30A. No through traffic and entrance from Eastern Lake Road only is a definite plus. We cooked several meals and had all the essentials; however, a previous review was quite helpful in that you need to bring cooking oil, spices and basic condiments. The property description is accurate, no disappointments whatsoever. The owner and property manager were responsive to our inquiries. The owner provided comprehensive information prior to arrival which included a list of popular restaurants, bike rentals, and beach chair/umbrella rentals which can result in discounts if you plan in advance. Although the HOA rules prohibit golf carts, there is an exception for those with a disability. There was welcome wine on arrival and pastries delivered the following morning. If you plan to stock the pantry, the local Publix at Watercolor Crossings on S County HWY 395 is close by, but shopping on Saturday or Sunday is problematic regardless of the hour of the day. If you are driving to the beach, stopping at the Publix in Freeport on HWY 331S or the Ocean Park Pavilion Publix just off HWY 98 in Panama City Beach is a much better option. Better selection and calm shoppers and staff. We would definitely stay in the Brown Eyed Girl again in the future.
