Beach Escape condo with kids pool and restaurant

SharonRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Marina's place was tastefully decorated and beautifully updated. The views from the balcony were gorgeous. The ocean water was so clear we could see stingrays, fish and dolphins from our balcony. She had just about anything you need for a beach vacation in the condo. Check in was a breeze. We appreciated that there was no key but instead code for door so we didn't have to worry about carrying a key around. Marina gave clear, timely communication. The whole experience was fantastic.

Cottage House 4bd/3bath off 30A

BrendaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Everyone in our family voted to return to this exact house! It felt spacious, the kitchen was well equipped, the walk to the pool (with our little grandsons) was easy, and the beach access was perfect! Steven responded in what seemed like minutes, with kindness and accuracy. The location of this property is excellent. While not on the beach, so close it felt seamless. Also, we feel Santa Rosa Beach is a little secret as it's calmer than Destin--which is too busy for us. We loved the close restuarants, which had excellent food. The sidewalks make biking and walking easy. Publix is close, and we also visited Emerald Coast Urgent care which gave my grandson excellent care with his croup. All in all, a perfect visit, a perfect location, a perfect home, and a perfect host. If the dates work for you, don't hestitate. You'll love it!

Vintage Coastal Creek House

SherryRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a really good time. We didn’t know the river was flooded so that was kind of a bummer. We only caught two fish. We saw an alligator and we went to the beach in Saint Joe with our little dog on Tuesday. She had a blast. I loved the place except the back bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable master bedroom was awesome. Everything you need for a little getaway Renée was very nice. We had one little problem the day we were leaving, but she responded and we got it fixed quickly.😄

MacyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This little home away from home was right up our alley! We enjoyed the serenity of the place but loved how convenient it was to just hop over to the beach and or sit on the docks for a relaxing time. We got to see dolphins and had a wonderful time! This sweet spot is perfect for a couple, a single, or even a small family! I would highly recommend staying here at Reel life!

Your guide to Florida Panhandle

Welcome to the Florida Panhandle

Known for its fine white sand beaches and turquoise water, the Florida Panhandle is the slim stretch of land that runs west from the rest of the state between Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico. It has a long and complicated history involving colonial powers and multiple wars, and unlike the glamorous resorts on the state’s southern coast, the beach culture here offers a much wider variety. If you’re into the laid-back beach vibe, there are loads of options that will lead you to a private stretch of sand. If nightlife is what you’re after, the Panhandle can deliver action-packed evenings — it’s a magnet for Spring Breakers in the Southern states and beyond. The clear, calm Gulf waters play host to some of the best fishing and diving experiences on the continent, and the rare east-west orientation of the beaches means you’ll get views of both sunrise and sunset. And in the event you’re not here to do the shore thing, the Panhandle has pockets of fascinating history hidden among the dune-lined coastal towns.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Florida Panhandle

The Florida Panhandle is a prime summer vacation spot. The hot and humid weather becomes more tolerable the closer you are to the water. But with more than 320 days of sunshine each year, the weather stays warm well into the fall, bringing in late-season sunseekers to join the fun. Just be sure to stay current on weather alerts in late summer when the hurricane season peaks, as the Panhandle is highly susceptible to the Gulf Coast’s biggest storms. Winter welcomes much colder temperatures on the Panhandle than the further reaches of the state, so it tends to be a quieter season. But by spring, the warmth returns and many Panhandle beaches, like Panama City, are up and running with a full lineup of Spring Break festivities.


Top things to do in Florida Panhandle

St. George Island

This barrier island off the Forgotten Coast portion of the Panhandle embodies the best features of the area, with sugary white-sand beaches and clear waters ideal for swimming, fishing, and paddling. The marshy state park, anchored by a historic lighthouse, provides ample space for bird-watching, hiking in the forests, ambling along the dunes, and keeping an eye out for sea turtles.

Scenic Route 30A

It’s worth going out of your way for this scenic highway that runs about 18 miles — a few more with connecting roads — between the sandy shores and high dunes of the Panhandle. From Panama City Beach to Sandestin, you’ll pass rare coastal dune lakes, a torrent of colorful architecture, and historic sites that line the road, which also connects to state parks and a series of greenways and trails for walking or biking.

Fort Pickens

Part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, Fort Pickens was built in 1834 to help shore up and defend Pensacola Bay. Today, the fearsome-looking brick structure anchors a park on Santa Rosa Island. Tour the maze-like tunnel system and artillery rooms before stopping by the museum for a ranger-led history talk. Save time to explore the park’s trails, popular with local bird-watchers.
