Beach Bungalow
Libby’s house was the perfect spot for our visit to Navarre. Close to the beach, restaurants & easy drive to Pensacola. The house was lovely! Libby’s instructions were clear & any questions we had ( which were very few) Libby responded quickly. If you plan on visiting Navarre Beach definitely consider Libby’s Airbnb. It was great!

Beach Blessing - 4 bed/ 3 bath with Private Pool
Great Host love the place. My second time there and would love to stay again.

Affordable Beach Vacation for Renovation Pricing
This is a nice place, just a short 5~10 minute walk to a public beach access point. To reach the beach, you’ll need to cross a main road, but there are designated pedestrian crosswalks right in front of each access point, and drivers stop for pedestrians. The property has two bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and the downstairs includes a small kitchen, living room, and a half bathroom. A small balcony offers a view of nearby buildings. While this place is currently undergoing renovations, it is fully functional, well-equipped, and perfectly clean. The hosts were very responsive, and overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Gone To The Beach - Fabulous Beach House on 30A
We love staying here. This is our 4th year staying at Gone to the Beach and it never disappoints.

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!

Close to Beach, Restaurants & Nightlife! (2907)
Thanks for the dog toy. It's nice the lady across the drive checks in and is friendly when we run into her. Love that she included soap for the laundry this time. Nice place and this was our second stay. Looking forward to booking this place again next year.

Beach Escape condo with kids pool and restaurant
My wife and I enjoyed our short stay here! The view was awesome and was a very comfortable stay! One of our favorite things about this Airbnb was that chairs and an umbrella was included. This saved us a lot of money since we didn’t have to rent chairs and umbrellas every day for our beach time! It was very quiet and the pool and restaurant located on the property was definitely convenient!

110 1st Floor Steps From Beach- Destin - Sleeps 6
The Condo was very nice and comfortable. It was just what we wanted. The beach was right across the street and very accessible. It is very close to several seafood restaurants right on the water. It was very clean and It had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable especially after a fun day at the beach. Me and my sisters had a great reunion and were very pleased with the condo. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks Anthony and Crystal!

Seaside 30A "Hemingway" Beach Side Cottage
Connie introduced herself to us and she was super friendly. She has a separate building onsite. She also was kind enough to send items back that were left behind!! Great host!

Hidden Dunes 506: Gulf Front Luxury Retreat
We had a great time. Loved having a bathroom connected to each bedroom.

Aqua Vista Villa
The pictures don’t do the property justice. The place was amazing. Very quiet and peaceful stay. There are tons of amenities on the resort from Shopping, Movies, Publix, you name it and it’s there. The property also included a golf cart which we didn’t use much due to the rain. The kitchen was stocked with the essentials. Rebecca immediately addressed all questions and concerns we had to make our experience as smooth as possible. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Casa Marlin Beach House PCB, FL
Phenomenal place. Had its own pool. Literally steps away from the beach. Plenty of space for the whole family. Bedrooms were comfortable. Extremely clean. Carol was so nice to work with & communicated quickly & effectively. We had the best stay. We had 6 adults and one child with us. We will definitely be back to Carol’s place!

3107 Stunning Lagoon Poolside Villa ~Book June 7th
We had an amazing stay at Joe’s place. The condo looks just like the pictures except the space feels bigger once you are inside. Villa 7 is in the most convenient location on the property….you literally walk outside and the hot tub is in front of you and the pools are just a couple steps away. Candidly, I was a little worried that perhaps it would be loud in the evening if people were still in the pool or hot tub, but once you close the door, you are in your own little peaceful slice of heaven. I spent every morning on the patio having my coffee and looking out onto the grounds. It was lovely. This was the first time I have ever stayed in an Airbnb that I never once had to reach out with a question or issue the entire duration of our stay. The host was very proactive….anticipating our needs, and even suggesting what we should bring and what would already be taken care of. Huge timesaver!! I would definitely stay here again. It was a wonderful, relaxing trip in a great location.

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!!!

The HERON COTTAGE- Private, Charming & Quaint
Had a great stay. The house was clean, the host was very helpful and I was able to bring my boat and dock it. I will be coming back soon

Cottage House 4bd/3bath off 30A
This is a great location! It is a really nice place very close to the beach and great for bike riders. The internet had stability issues, but this is not the fault of the host, it has more to do with the provider. I would definitely stay here again, but people need to realize that there are a lot of stairs in this house, not a problem for most people, but people with mobility issues or with small children need to be aware. The hosts were very responsive to questions and concerns, so I would recommend this location. There was construction going on next door, very close to this house due to the nature of a resort area and how close houses are built. It was very loud, but again, this is not the fault of the host and will be done at some point, but it was extremely loud during all working hours including Saturday. All in all I would definitely recommend this location and these hosts, just trying to give an honest perspective.
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
Great place. Quiet and very scenic! If you have kids this is the place to go!

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.

The Cottage! 5 star! Hottub•fishing•dock/lift
Thank you we had a great time relaxing and peaceful experience

Kayaking paradise Bring your boat its on the River
We enjoyed our stay at the River Oasis. It was a short distance from our family. They had everything we could need during our stay.

“Reel Life 2” on da water 1 bedroom camper
This was my first stay in a large camper and I was not disappointed. The location was great and I was able to ride my e bike the beach every day which was a plus. My trip to Gulfshores was to watch the NCAA Women's Beach Volleyball Championship and the past two years I stayed in hotels in Foley so Monica's camper is a way better option for me and I'd recommend it to couples.

Vacation Home, Families, Sportsmen, Travelers
This is our fourth time staying here! We love it! Like a home away from home ❤️

The R & R Lake House on Lake Seminole
We had an absolutely wonderful stay with Russ and Rhonda! We wish that we could give them 10 stars. They are the kindest, friendliest and most thoughtful hosts we've ever had! Their house is beautiful and cozy, and what a fantastic location right on the lake! Russ and Rhonda provide all the fishing gear to fish off their dock - and even made sure the fishing rods were all set up for us. There is also a nice kayak and life vests if you want to venture out in the lake. Their house has everything you need for cooking, and they were generous to provide eggs and other wonderful treats and beverages far beyond what a host typically provides. We also appreciated how clean their house is. Russ and Rhonda's communications were always very prompt and really helpful. We look forward to staying with them again!
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.
