Great Stay!

Unbeatable location and the rental was MUCH cleaner than most other PCB rentals. The living space was updated and comfortable with the bedrooms being practicle comfortable, as well. The parking was easy and backyard secure to let swim clothing and dive gear dry out. Great stay!!!

Quick Getaway

We brought our jet skis and the driveway was wide enough for them. Nice back patio. Living area and bedrooms were perfect for our small group. Neighborhood was quiet and off the main drag but close enough for shopping, the marina, and beach parking area.

Cozy Retreat

Beyond expectations! This cute home is far enough away from the city to be quiet and not busy. But still close enough to visit lots of fun places.

Friends Vacation

My group of friends and I loved this property! It was a short walk to a store and the beach so no one had to drive. The house was clean and open so that there was enough room for all of us! We are definitely coming back! If you’re visiting Panama City Beach we recommend renting this house!!!!

House is like show at the picture, rooms and beds and comfortable, we found house clean but at night, roaches are in leaving room and kitchen. Backyard is convenient for dog. Maybe you can put a sign with the house number on the front , was a little confused found the place. Coffe maker is for individual cups, be prepared ;we appreciated but normally is one big with the regular coffee filter. I founded a little trouble turn on the shower. The walk to the beach was around 15mins ( over streets), no pathway. In general a good place for the price.

Happy Pelican

Great location near everything but offers you a quite reprieve when you need one. The back yard could be a nice haven but it was a mess. The policy us no smoking anywhere on the property but there was cigarette butts everywhere. The beds were great and bath rooms small but functional lots of parking. I would definitely rent it again the internet worked great and the TV offers alot of content but lacks local channels no news or local weather but netflix and prime video and HBO we all included. It's clearly just a rental property but really could use a face lift.

Had a great stay at the Happy Pelican Cottage!

We enjoyed oyr stay. Home is as pictured. Sleeps 5 well. Yard is good sized w big deck and patio lights at night. Yard gas some grass which helped w our pet. A concrete area helped to let the dog play without getting feet dirty in chasing toy. Appliances cery clean, bathrooms clean and all bedding clean. Home is very close to boat rentals and about 8-10 mins from grocery. Located across hwy to beach access. Seemed to be alot of vacationers in the neighborhood. We would stay again. We enjoyed our stay
