Casa Marlin Beach House PCB, FL
Great place that was so close to the beach. Pool was very clean and the water temperature was perfect. If I’m ever back in the area I’ll definitely book this place again.

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!

Minutes To Beach And Everywhere Else
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.

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!!!

3 minute walk to the Beach
We came to PCB for our anniversary last week. With our toddler on our hands, Chastity welcomed us in early to accommodate our baby’s needs. The place was well organized and made us feel right at home. Not only the place has the convenient location that allowed us to walk a short distance to the beach, it has all commodities and seasonings that you would expect finding at home. Though we didn’t make use of all the beach supplies the owner had, they had everything ready to go from floaties and beach cart and play toys for tods. Everything was neat and perfect.

Oceanfront On The Beach +PCB Best Prime Location
Our stay was great! The location being directly on the beach was great for my family. I have small kids, so being able to be steps away from the beach was perfect. The hosts were great communicators they literally responded in seconds. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyway stay here. It was family friendly and inviting.

47% discount WOW!-"Super clean & good vibeS"
My family and I enjoyed staying at your home, everything was as described. The host also provided everything I could need in the kitchen and bathroom. My kids enjoyed the free ice cream and gift basket the host left us, it made them feel welcome and at home. Very peaceful area to unwind and lots of great restaurants around, also the Winn-Dixie grocery store is around the corner few minutes away. I definitely recommend to try Christo’s the food was delicious. We will definitely be coming back thank you Beach Life for being very accommodating.

☀️⛱Vacation Paradise in Ocean Villa Condo 🏝🌴☀️
Outstanding host and an exceptional place to stay! This apartment exceeded all expectations. It was impeccably clean, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything you could possibly need — from kitchen essentials to thoughtful extras like toiletries, coffee, and even small items you wouldn’t expect but truly appreciate. The view was absolutely stunning, and it made the stay feel extra special. Check-in and check-out were seamless, and the host’s communication was beyond excellent — responsive, kind, and genuinely attentive. You can tell they care about every guest’s experience. If you’re looking for a worry-free, comfortable, and memorable short stay, this is the place. I would book again in a heartbeat!

Sand And Ocean Lovers Beach Home!
Enjoyed our time there

Beach Blessing - 4 bed/ 3 bath with Private Pool
We absolutely love the Bid-A-Wee neighborhood, and this home made our stay even more special! While we had double red flags the entire week, the gorgeous outdoor area and private pool more than made up for it. Traveling with four kiddos 10 and under—including two autistic little ones and a toddler who loves to run—the door alarms were a game-changer and gave us much-needed peace of mind. Michelle’s property is not only beautiful, it’s officially one of our all-time favorite spots. The beach really is just a 2-minute walk—even with little ones in tow! You won’t be disappointed with everything this home has to offer.

Laguna Beach Retreat! 2.5 Blocks 2 The Water! HMBR
This was a nice retreat for my team & myself. Only 7 minutes to our studio which we had to arrive at 5AM (none of us are morning people) for a TV segment. When we were done, we went back and napped until the cleaners came. The cleaning crew was also very, very nice. It was a great place to stay and allowed some team bonding for my management team. Thank you Cody for being flexible with us! We enjoyed the stay very much and will probably book again for our next in-person management team meeting.

Bubbles Up
Sonya by far is one of the BEST hostess that I have encountered staying Airbnb…she is kind,humble,helpful & professional!! The house was beautiful & nicely decorated .. The attention to detail & cleanliness did not go unnoticed.. She had everything you could possibly want to make your stay comfortable. Sonya is a problem solver & will do whatever is needed to ensure you have a great vacation. My family loved the spacious house with hidden treasures like the extra loft tv room upstairs perfect for your kiddos to snuggle on the sofa & enjoy a movie.. the salt water pool in the backyard was also a fan favorite & it’s deep enough to really get your swim on.. The beach is only a few blocks away & can be seen from the house…I do recommend renting the 6 seater golf cart for a small additional fee that Sonya will have fully charged & ready for your enjoyment. Outside shower is heated. Thank you again Sonya for sharing your lovely home with us. You are phenomenal 🤍 will absolutely rent again

Malibu Palms at the Beach
Absolutely loved this little cottage. Felt right at home, clean, bright, and peaceful. Loved the walk to the beach and lots to do in the area. Can’t wait to come back! Made lots of memories!

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!

Biltmore Bungalow w/ hot tub, cart and pool access
Excellent host, excellent property. Close to the beach and many things around, location is perfect. They were also very responsive and were always there when needed.

Inlet Beach/Lake House. Walk to Rosemary.
Perfect getaway. 30A can be hectic. At this location we were a few steps from the beach, and easy access to all the area has to offer. We often moved around by bikes and there are many restaurants and shops you can easily access. We could walk to inlet beach in just a few minutes. The house was spacious and it was nice to sit and relax in the porch or in the backyard by the fire

We love Carol’s place and have returned several times. The view is stunning, the condo has anything you could need, the shower is awesome, and the bed is amazingly comfortable! Highly recommend this for your next stay in PCB.

Beach-front Condo with Amazing Pool
This condo was wonderful! The view was stunning. It felt like we were right at home. The location was good. Everything within a 15 minute drive each way. Walmart was around the corner. The pool was really nice but we didn’t use it because it was windy and a bit chilly when we were there. We can’t wait to come back !

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.

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!

Million Dollar View-2 Bd/2 Bath Condo on the Beach
Mimi’s place was everything we hoped for and more! The location was absolutely perfect—close to everything we needed, yet peaceful and scenic. The views from her home are breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset. Mimi was truly the best host. She was incredibly responsive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Every question was answered promptly, and her warm hospitality made us feel right at home. We had such an amazing time and are already looking forward to our next visit. If you’re thinking about booking—do it! You won’t be disappointed.

Your guide to Panama City Beach
Introduction
Welcome to Florida’s Panhandle paradise, where the sand is bone white and and the fish-filled gulf is a translucent shade of emerald. Though “PCB” has also become legendary for its Spring Break vacationers, sunbathers and watersports enthusiasts of all ages flock here for the 27 miles of shoreline, and divers are rewarded with shipwrecks, coral formations, and artificial reefs galore.
The bustling streets are lined with tourist shops, miniature amusement parks, and seafood restaurants, but the city’s landscape is largely dominated by high-rise resorts and condos, along with five undulating golf courses. And while the area was hit hard by Hurricane Michael in 2018, a recovery is under way and the natural attractions remain awe-inspiring while vacationers continue booking trips here.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Panama City Beach
Prepare to get toasty. This region receives an average of 320 days of sunshine each year, with temperatures usually ranging from 47 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit. The months of May through October offer particularly warm days, with the breeze off the Gulf of Mexico helping to cool things down a bit. In the winter the warm Gulf water helps keep the coast from getting too chilly (the water temperature ranges from the low 60s in the winter to the high 80s in summertime).
It’s hard to go wrong at Panama City Beach weatherwise, as long as you’ve packed a sunhat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a swimsuit, and a pair of flip-flops (which will definitely help you feel like a Floridian). Don’t forget to stay hydrated!
Top things to do in Panama City Beach
St. Andrews State Park
Escape PCB’s high-rises on this natural stretch of seafront with 1,200 acres of pristine coastal habitat, nature trails, and calm seas. Adventures in kayaks and canoes are popular, as are diving and snorkeling trips. You can also spot Florida’s famously toothy reptile in Gator Lake. Reel in some big fish off the piers, then eat them for lunch.
Shell Island
This barrier island is only accessible from the mainland by boat, but this seven-mile stretch of undeveloped seashore — which is also part of St. Andrews State Park — is an absolute dream for sunbathing, snorkeling, and kayaking. You’ll definitely spy some colorful fish and conch shells on the beach here, and if you’re lucky, a dolphin or a sea turtle.
Shipwrecks
Panama City Beach has been nicknamed the “Wreck Diving Capital of the South” and indeed, sunken tugboats and warships are common in these waters. Divers’ favorites include the 185-foot Black Bart (an oilfield supply ship), the 441-foot World War II Liberty Ship, and the “Twin Tugs” — a pair of tugboats that have become conjoined over time. Pick up the Florida Panhandle Shipwreck Trail Passport from a local dive shop and earn a stamp for each wreck you explore.
