Perfect location!
We are frequent PCB visitors but usually stay in hotels on Front Beach Road. We needed to bring our two large dogs and decided to try this location out. We LOVED the location. It was a September stay, so it is usually quieter anyway, but the beach was practically empty all week! We were stunned and had particularly good weather, so the ocean rivaled some of the best beaches we have visited. The neighborhood gated entrance to the beach is only a block away- I swear I've felt like I walked further to the water in the past staying directly on the beach! Most of our typical restaurant haunts were walkable. The house is a smaller, older home with a few quirks, but it never bothered us and we felt like we had everything we needed. I hope the property manages to stay small amidst the giant mansions being built around it, like Margaritaville's homes next door. I lost a car key and ended up having to ask for an extra day basically mere hours before checkout and the host was incredibly responsive.

Our family vacay
We were so excited to come to the beach! We havent been in 3 years and i have never been to panama city. Our stay at the bid a wee bungalo was perfect! We were literally a hop and a skip away from the beach. Even though there were houses all around you would NOT even know it!! Its so quite and peaceful where we stayed which is perfect seeing how we have small children and after an exciting morning on the beach they needed peace and quite for their naps. This house was just perfect for us! Everything went so smoothly and the hosts even checked on us via email a day in to make sure everything was okay! Definitely recommend!

Betweenie Bungalow
My family and I stayed for a weekend although the house has some charm and provides shelter, it also presented some kinks. - The backyard gate is kept from swinging by a bucket - Can’t really enjoy the front furniture because of uncleanliness, spider webs and dithered and tainted wall art. - The nice swinging chairs on the trees in the backyard has mildew/ mold on them. - The ceiling is dropping in one of the main guest rooms. My youngest was scared so my husband and I switched rooms in the middle of the night. - The kitchen tile has dents and holes which at first you think are dirt stains. They are actually scuffs and holes on the tile. - During our stay the home smelled like smoke. They sent someone to change the filter. - The one bathroom, available has a sink that was clogged. They also sent someone to fix this on the second day. The property managers were responsive and made certain the place was clean. But we traveled for vacay expecting what was listed. I would love to see this bungalow sparkle like the pictures illustrate, but it needs some TLC. The past responses to reviews elude that the housing issues were resolved…they are not. It really is not horrible place, nor can I say it was nice/ impressive…it’s a betweenie bungalow at full cost.

Perfect location!!!
The house is so cute and charming!!!! Access to the beach is very convenient and the house has everything you could need. There were beach chairs, a wagon, and even a cooler to load up for the beach. The washer and dryer were also a blessing for all of the beach clothes. The only thing I noticed that I couldn’t find was an adapter for K-cups for the coffee pot. But it wasn’t a big enough deal for me to call about or anything. One thing that might have been nice was a handheld sprayer in the shower to clean out the bottom of the shower. Other than that, would never hesitate or think twice about staying here again, my whole family loved it!

I would recommend this property. Great for a couple and little pups. Fenced in backyard was perfect for our 2 yorkies. We have one that has anxiety attacks and the other one is blind and a diabetic. It was perfect for them. They enjoyed the freedom as much as us. It is the cutest little cottage and really a block from the beach. The dog beach was 6 mins away and has parking straight across from it at Pier Park. You must visit Shoredogs restaurant and they allow dogs too! Great people! We love it and will be back! Already recommending it to a lady at work. Thank you PCBretreats!!!

Comfortable!
We were very comfortable in this tiny house. Two king beds. Like most of the houses in the area, it is old but has been nicely updated. Great shaded & fenced backyard. Felt very safe. We liked that it was about a block from the beach because we did not have to contend with the traffic noise. Owner was very responsive.
