Our pool can be heated for and additional $45 per day. Please let us know before booking if you would like to have the pool heated for your stay.

Outdoor Shower-
Very refreshing! If you have not showered outside you are missing out. It is a different experience. Great for rinsing off after a day at the beach and pool.

FREE beach cart, umbrella, and chairs to take with you to the beach!

"We had a family of 6- 3 kids, 3 adults. We had planty of room. We all enjoyed the private fenced in pool!! The outdoor shower was so much fun for the kids. Great location, walking distance to the beach- even our 3yo could do it! We also walked to Carousels supermarket. We enjoyed Thomas's Bakery too. We felt very safe in the home- neighborhood in Laguna Beach. Very clean home. Well stocked kitchen. We wanted a no fuss quiet beach vacation and this house is perfect for that!-Jennifer"

"This charming house has everything you need to have an amazing getaway that’s a bit off the tourist-y path. The completely private patio, pool and outdoor shower is literally a block or two from the beach.


If the previous guests damages the cornhole or the beach cart prior to your check and we cannot guarantee that it would be operational for your stay. We will do our best to accommodate in the event this happens.

Great house and location
My husband and I spent the week with our dogs and it was a great time. Wonderful location. Cute bungalow with everything you need for a getaway. The pool was great and the dogs enjoyed the patio while we enjoyed the Baja deck of the pool to relax in. Can’t wait to go back!

Great location
Great location with easy access to the beach and very nice pool area. Especially loved the outdoor shower. Host responded to a couple issues we had quickly including getting a new beach cart sent to the house because the one at the house was broken. One note for those with young kids—we didn’t feel comfortable bathing our toddler in the bath tub (didn’t quite meet our cleanliness standards because of the jets it has) so that may also be an issue for you.

Del Mar Beach Cottage
Absolutely Adorable cottage in a quiet neighborhood. Beach is literally around the corner. Our dogs loved their morning and evening walks along the beach. The grocery store is one block from the house and right across from the beach. Its very well stocked and a very impressive wine selection. Much better than big name grocery stores. Also a full liquor store and a beautiful gift shop. The pool was my favorite. We had it heated, and the pool area is lit up for night swims. Only 4 miles to pier park, which has endless shopping and restaurants. Loved this place and would highly recommend to anyone.

Great Location, Communicative Host
Terrific location, literally a block to an awesome beach entrance (about a 4-min. walk) & just around the corner from the Carousel store (& liquor store) + a short, pretty 8-min walk to Thomas Donut (where you can also grab lunch, ice cream & pizza)-12 mins to Thomas if you walk along the beach. You could definitely park & never drive. The photos are accurate for the most part. We didn't need the 3 bedrooms &would have preferred a more open space layout, but I know most prefer the rooms. Pool's as big as it looks in photos & feels secluded - the walk-in/lounge pool stairs rule. There's a grill! plenty of beach chairs & places to lounge. Definitely bring your own beach towels. Our favorite thing was the porch, it's a great place to post up & read on a rain day - coffee in the am - quiet, shady street with beautiful trees & super friendly neighbors balanced with quiet privacy. The host was easy to reach, communicative & helpful, but also didn't "bother" us during our stay. I think they'd just sprayed for bugs so there was a chemical smell in the house - probably not something that'll always be the case, but you may want to plan in case it's a regular thing, we aired it out the best we could(maybe bring incense or a scented candle?). It's an older renovated house & floors have "settled". There are cameras around the property- always makes me uneasy, but that seems to be the deal with all rentals recently. No real complaints, mostly just "so-you-know" notes. Recommended place!

Wonderful stay at an amazing property!
Myself, my wife, our 10-year-old son, and our two dogs enjoyed this property in mid-June 2023. It is a very quiet and cozy space. The pool was wonderful! Very clean and lots of fun toys to play with. My son loved it a TON, especially because the PC beach can be problematic with currents (three of the days we stayed were double-flag and closed to the public, and the days they weren't they were still quiet intense, so he didn't stay in the ocean too long). The location is INCREDIBLE and well worth the price. It is close to all sorts of conveniences and a VERY short trip away from the main Panama City experience. Honestly, staying at this property was like staying somewhere others hadn't discovered yet. I couldn't believe how killer it was. Brennan was a very, very communicative host who responded near-instantly to any messages I sent to him. The house itself is furnished well. It was clean when we stayed and had lots of small touches that made the stay exemplary. The outside shower was particularly great. I emphatically encourage anyone with a family to stay here. It was an awesome experience. We already are talking about when we can come back!

Laguna beach holiday for two
We enjoyed our 13 days at our home away from home. The pool is an absolute gem, and is our favorite part of the property. For anyone wondering...should we heat the pool? Our suggestion is yes. We chose not to, and are still happy with our decision, but the first week was warm weather so the pool temp was wonderful. Second week, temps dropped so we still enjoyed the pool but it was chilly. The master bedroom was comfortable and the direct access to the pool was excellent for quiet morning coffee poolside. We enjoyed the outdoor shower! The kitchen has everything needed to enjoy home dinners. Location~ we feel it’s the best around. It has everything needed within an easy walk or drive. ( groceries from carousel…a quick breakfast or donut from Thomas’s) The beach is pretty and we enjoyed, swimming and sunsets, and sunrises. We did not rent a golf cart, but it could be very practical. We loved the calmness and tranquility of the area. (Venturing out to other areas is easy also). Our host Brennan, made us feel right at home, and answered the couple questions we had immediately. We would stay here again.

Fall fun in the sun
Our "new house," as our 6yo has dubbed it, proved to be perfect for our fall getaway. This house literally has everything that you could need. The kitchen is FULLY stocked. We cooked a lot of our meals and didn't need one thing that wasn't there (even spices in the pantry!). There is a nice grocery store that is a block and a half away. The beds are comfortable. There are beach chairs, sand toys and a beach wagon for use. The pool is amazing (gas heated pool was SUPER nice when there was a random 20 degree temp drop). There are plenty of towels and starter toiletries. Brennan was excellent to work with. He graciously answered my numerous questions. The beaches in this area are amazing. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We highly recommend this rental and will hopefully be back next year!

Cute pet friendly home in great area
We rented this property after our original booking was cancelled due to Hurricane Ian. We were bummed to completely change sides of the state and having not stayed in Panama City for many years we weren't sure of the location. We were pleasantly surprised what a great low key area this was away from high traffic. Easy walk to the beach with two younger kids, beach wagon provided along with chairs. Beds slept great as well. Pool is nice; was a little cool due to a cold snap, so we opted to have it heated. Would definitely recommend this home and this small beach town feel!

Great for a couple
Great place for us! We greatly enjoyed the stay, and would recommend to any couple or small family/group. There were only 2 of us. As the satisfaction of any stay is mostly about matching a house's qualities with your expectations, here is a breakdown of our observations: +The pool is great, with a max. depth under 6 feet. We are not into diving, etc. Solar string lantern lights around fence gave a great night feel as well, as we sat to watch stars. +Some pool and beach equipment is available. Wagon & 2 beach chairs were esp. nice. +The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Great for us, not for those that would want a loud, wild vacation. Loudest noise was a local rooster, rarely heard unless outside. +Outdoor shower has a very large floor space. Open towards pool area - shallow end. First day had some wind, so the curtain would blow in towards shower, so didn't use curtain often. As only a couple, never a problem. If you want any modesty with a group, unsure, but that might get challenging? +One indoor bathroom (shower & toilet). Great for us, but consider if planning several people, what your dynamics might be. +One long block to beach. Easy, short, level walk; but can't see beach from house. Only real negative, to us; but walked there often. Would still rent again. +Smaller kitchen & living area. Great for 2, but the full 7 capacity might feel tight inside, IF expecting lots of personal spaces. +Price seemed higher compared to other houses we've rented in the past, for amenities and location. (BUT: Inflation, and/or a lot less available) Everything was provided as detailed; and no surprises, assuming we get deposit back. =Overall a great place for us to reconnect as just a couple, which it has been years since we have traveled without kids.
