A magical, cozy coastal retreat!An absolute gem of a find! We stayed at this beautiful, historic log cabin and couldn't be happier with our experience. The architecture perfectly blends rustic, rugged charm with clean, elegant, boutique comforts. Did we mention there’s a donut and ice cream steps away?? Do not skip Thomas’ Donuts Beach Bun! Enjoying the fresh ocean breeze right from the front porch while sharing our meals was the ultimate highlight. The interior feels incredibly cozy and authentic, yet fully updated with all modern amenities. Every detail—from the plush linens to the maritime-inspired decor—was clearly chosen with love and care. Bonus for the parents… Everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach with the kiddos is provided for you so you can skip the extra packing. If you’re feeling extra adventurous the take the St Andrew’s Ferry to Shell Island and explore the snorkeling and shelling the island has to offer. Our whole family loved it!We definitely recommend splurging on a golf cart and cruising the beach front road with the wind in your hair. Cali’s Beach Buggies is right around the corner and had a friendly staff with budget friendly pricing. It was a super fun experience for the whole family.This cabin was the ideal spot to unplug, listen to the waves, and truly relax after a day of adventures. Stacey was an incredible and attentive host. We cannot recommend this place enough and are already planning our next trip back!

Laguna beach gem

From the host to the cabin location, everything was above expectations. The cabin has its quirks as it is an almost 100yr old home. But everything served well for us. The location is perfect, right across the street from the beach and Thomas’ donuts which was very convenient. This is our new family vacation spot!

Cute, clean and perfect location

Just returned from a week in PCB, and I can’t say enough about this cute cabin! First thing Stacey is the perfect host. She is very attentive and quick to respond to any questions. The cabin is in a perfect location, close to everything but away from all the noise and traffic. Was staying alone and always felt safe. Stacey has thought of everything you will need for a beach vacation-towels, floats, chairs, even a wagon to carry your things the short walk to the beach. The cabin was super clean. The kitchen was well stocked and there is a grill if you want to cook. The couches and beds are very comfortable and Stacey has you set with your starter supplies so you can just relax when you arrive! The added bonus is you can bring your dog, I unexpectedly needed space for my little guy during my stay and was happy to find this place so close to the beach, you even have an ocean view! Definitely recommend this cabin for your next vacation.

The cabin was great. Definitely a memorable stay! I come to the area for work quite a bit, and when possible, my family comes with me. We love Thomas' Donuts, and it's walking distance! Definitely an old log cabin that has old house quirks, but so fun! Stacey is so easy to get in touch with, and quick to respond. Tommy

Location is awesome with lots space!

Quiet, peaceful easy location. Thomas donuts next door and beach a few steps away. Parking is small, but enough for two cars. Great beach toys, ect, but bring umbrella. Coffee pot was both single pod or drip pot. Beds were comfy, and plenty of space for our family if 6. The only cons, were the air conditioner in den was rather warm, the house is on a noticeable slant, and the garbage can is entirely too small for the house. None of these things were deal breakers. We had a great stay! Thank you for sharing your historic house!

Historic cabin with great location

The location of this cabin is one of its many wonderful qualities! Panama City Beach is a very busy and highly populated vacation destination. The fact that there are no high-rise beach rentals near this part of the beach, made it a more quiet spot to relax by the ocean. The cabin has all your day at the beach needs umbrella, boogie boards, sand toys, towels, beach chairs and a wagon to pull it in. The kitchen is very small! But with that being said it is fully stocked for those who just want a meal at home. I will put a small warning on this property for people over 5’11. Watch your head! It’s an old cabin so the door frames, ceilings, ceiling fans and deck are very low. You will be ducking during your stay.

Host is wonderful, great communicator. Location is superb, close to beach. Neighborhood is easily walked. Shower in high tub, not easy to get in and out. Needs to be improved, only handheld device worked. Water with great pressure and always hot! Shower curtain in other bathroom is too high, water runs out onto floor. Appliances work well. It was unusually cold when we visited, but we always had adequate heat. Cabin was warm and cozy.

Charming log cabin

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming log cabin, and it was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the cozy atmosphere and the convenient location. The log cabin itself was a true gem. It had a warm and rustic ambiance that instantly made us feel at home. The interior was immaculately clean and well-maintained, showcasing a perfect blend of modern amenities and classic cabin charm. The beds were comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was the cabin's proximity to the beach and a delightful donut/snack shop. We took short, leisurely walks to the beach, which was just a stone's throw away. The snack shop was a sweet bonus. We couldn't resist stopping by for ice cream treats and pizza. The owner was also outstanding. She was highly responsive.
