Beach Bungalow
Our stay at the Beach Bungalow was great! It was extremely clean, in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach, restaurants and shopping and the host was very accessible for questions. We would definitely recommend to our family and friends.

Condo in Miramar Beach, FL with Amazing Ocean View
Everything was fantastic, Matthew provided everything we needed!! Definitely would book again

At the Beach with Water View !!
Really liked this place the last place we stayed two years ago was not as good lived the place close to where my sons ball team was staying

Burts Beach therapy- Nautical watch condo
I loved the private access to the beach and i was very pleased that there were chairs and other activities that were provided in the condo for us to take to the beach. Two adults and two teenagers slept comfortably, and the washer and dryer came in handy. I would stay again for sure!

Beach Escape condo with kids pool and restaurant
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.

110 1st Floor Steps From Beach- Destin - Sleeps 6
Great place! Really cute and homey. Super walkable and right next to the beach and two of our favorite restaurants, which was so nice. Our hosts were really nice to speak with and were super quick to respond to a problem we had during our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Seaside 30A "Hemingway" Beach Side Cottage
We absolutely fell in love with this sweet cottage. Amongst the cookie cutter homes in the area this little place is reminiscent of old Florida. It had everything we needed. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, look no further. Connie is a great host and very easy to communicate with.

Charming Beach Cottage with Private Beach Gate
Such a beautiful home and our family enjoyed our stay. Not only was the house clean and welcoming but there was lots to do in the community and it was quiet, peaceful, and close to the beach. Bradford super helpful and accommodating, he was very friendly, polite and flexible we appreciate all he did to make our stay top tier. We would love to stay again at this beautiful home and when we return to Destin this will be our first choice!

Gulf coast vacation townhome
We had so much fun on our trip at Jerry’s AirBnb. he was very helpful in listing local recommendations and the house was super close to the beach, maybe 5 minute walk. we were very close to all the local tourism spots and had so much fun, and loved the back patio for hanging out! Beautiful place!

Family friendly! w/private pool. Steps 2 beach
Jessica’s home was wonderful. It was updated, decorated very nicely and clean. Tons of instructions and amenities in the kitchen. The house is away from all the condos so the beach was not crazy busy. Would highly recommend!!!

Footsteps away from beautiful beaches 🏖🏝⛱
Had a Great time defiantly a place i will come back to. Very quiet & calm the perfect getaway

Private Pool, Walk to Beach, Near Pier Park
I loved it! Place was beautiful and private! With its own pool and an excellent host communication! He even let us in early and took 5 seconds for responses! Clean and so worth it!

Private Beach! 2min Walk. 3BR Gorgeous Townhome!
This is the 3rd year I have taken my kids for spring break and it's literally our home away from home. We look forward to it every year! Great hosts and best location. Couldn't love it more! ♡

Cottage House 4bd/3bath off 30A
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!
Florida Panhandle fishing vacation rentals

Vintage Coastal Creek House
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.😄

Entire home with lakefront access
I would stay here again. It was really peaceful and cozy place to stay and relax. Thank you.

Charming Bayfront Getaway - Private Pier
We had an amazing time at this home. So peaceful and relaxing. The home was clean, comfortable, and perfect. We felt cozy and right at home. It is a short distance to parks and town, and not far from Gulf Shores, where there’s so much to do. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning. It was a perfect stay.

Secluded cabin on the water jetski, kayak & hottub
This place is amazing. The most charming little cabin tucked right along the water’s edge. It was exactly the escape my husband and I needed. This cabin is ideal for anyone looking to unplug, rest, and reconnect.

The Cottage! 5 star! Hottub•fishing•dock/lift
It is a comfortable place with lovely furnishings/decor. Very peaceful and a great view of the lake.

Kayaking paradise Bring your boat its on the River
Loved this gem! Located right on the river. Peaceful neighborhood. We got to go kayaking with the kids and grill with the family in town for our wedding. We will definitely be back.

“Reel Life 2” on da water 1 bedroom camper
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!

Vacation Home, Families, Sportsmen, Travelers
Love the area. So beautiful. The home has such a warm cozy feeling to it and it was completely stocked with anything kitchen wise, towels, blankets, pillows exc. the fishing dock on the lake is beautiful and Bobbie was a sweetheart. Even told us we could use one of his fishing poles. Definitely talking about booking a week this summer!!
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.
