100 Yards to Beach: 3 King Beds, Bunks, HEATED PRIVATE POOL - 5 Baths

This beautiful three story beach house is just a few steps from the beach! Perhaps you would prefer to lounge around a private pool, instead. Heat the pool for just a little extra fee. The house is located in a lazy laid back neighborhood of private homes on the beach. At the same time, you are 5-10 minutes away from all the best restaurants and shopping.
Friends of mine once said that when they go on vacation, they want to stay somewhere that is nicer than their own home. That is exactly what we have tried to accomplish with this totally elegant Beach House. This place has all the bells and whistles. Every bedroom has a King size bedroom suite. One set of built in bunks with deluxe pillow top mattresses. There is a queen sleeper sofa on the second floor. This is a perfect set up for two or more families.

Be prepared for luxury from the formal dining room as you enter, to the 12 foot ceilings and magnificent crown moulding throughout. Granite counters grace the well equipped kitchen as do the stainless appliances. Watch your favorite TV shows on large screen TVs in the living room or family room or enjoy your show from the comfort of your bedroom.

On the second level you will find what we like to call the family suite. There you will find a large family room, including a wet bar and half bath. The built in bunks make this like a fourth bedroom. There is a large balcony overlooking the private HEATED POOL. The second floor bedroom has a king bed suite with bath, balcony and HD LED TV.

The third level has two king bedrooms with private baths. The Master Suite is adorned with a fireplace, double vanity, a jetted tub and a spacious shower. A private balcony off the Master is a great place to enjoy warm moonlit Florida nights. The second bedroom has a beautiful Tropical King Bedroom suite for your comfort. Both bedrooms are equipped with a TV.

Other Amenities: Private Pool : Washer/Dryer : Wireless Internet : : Smart TV : Parking : Keyless Entry

Prime Location: On the quieter end of PCB on the much desired beach side of Thomas Drive. A hundred steps down Albacore Street and you are on the beach... no crossing busy streets to get to the beach. Only 3 miles from St. Andrews State Park and walking distance from several restaurants and amusement parks.


Sorry, NO pets allowed. Must have someone over age 25 to stay in the house. We do not rent to student groups or wedding parties.

First Beach Vacay w/ Great Granddaughter
Great vacation with family and friends! Although the weather was not perfect, the trip itself was! Great house, clean, great location, and excellent owners to work with! We had no issues with the house and we were extremely pleased. The owners of the property were very attentive to our needs and were easy to contact and work with.

Perfect!
From pre check in communication to our leaving, this was a perfect vacation! Bill communicated check in instructions in great detail so we knew exactly what we needed to know. The house was perfect! Plenty of room for my group. Our group consisted of me, my husband, our two daughters, my son and his wife and their kids(9,7, 6 months). We all had plenty of room, the kids had bunk beds which they loved. You will walk up stairs as all bedrooms are on 2nd and 3rd floors which we knew based on description. The pool is nice but is small. Plenty big for the kids! Getting in through the gate to keep sand out of the house was difficult as the pool pump is at the door but still doable. There were water hoses to hose things off also. The walk to the beach is not far, but I would suggest having a wagon if you are taking many items to the beach. Overall, I would recommend this place and would stay again!

Love this house!
Our family stayed August 3-11, 2024. We enjoyed staying at this house so very much. The property was very clean and very convenient. The pictures are online for the property need to be updated as the aerial picture shows no houses on the beach and there is a lot of property development there now. However The house was absolutely perfect for our family and the size was great. I will say there is quite a bit of road noise as this house is adjacent to Thomas Drive but we were able to adapt to that. This is definitely a house that my family would book again. The location is very convenient to all restaurants and activities.

Great house. Great location. Owner (Bill) was super nice! Called us on day of check/in. Very prompt with replies to any questions we had during our stay. Highly recommend! 🔟 Will note that there isn’t a grill due to irresponsible renters in the past, but we made it work, and would not prevent us from renting here again. p. s. Great leg workout too getting to third floor 😉

Well appointed, accurately described.
Stayed with 6 family members very comfortablely in this house. Description is accurate, very clean and well appointed house. The beach is fantastic, very wide at this portion. There is not a lot of high rise buildings near this section of the beach. Excellent stay with comfortable large bedrooms and general house areas. Lots of decent sized bathrooms plus powder rooms. Fenced backyard with nice pool.

My husband and I go every year with our two sons their wives and the four grandkids on a summer vacation. This is a place we would difinitely consider renting again. Pool was enough for the kids to swim but not many adults, but that's okay, it kept the kids entertained while we cooked. Stocked well and as nice as the ad said it was in the ad. Great location too.

Great week full of memories
The house was great and everything we needed and more. We had 12 total people, 6 adults, 6 boys age ranges from 11-17. We had plenty of room and the location is great. It was just a short 2 minute walk to the beach and minutes from just about anything you want to do. We look forward to coming back again next year!!

A Thoroughly Enjoyable Experience
My family and I really enjoyed our stay in this home. It was deceivingly spacious, with plenty of room for our extended family to have their own space to enjoy. It is in very close proximity to the beach and to other Panama City attractions. And most of all, the property owner Bill was great to work with, and quickly worked to answer any questions/address any needs that we had. Would definitely recommend, and hope to stay here again in the future.
