The best place to rent very neat condo fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy your vacation

The town home was beautiful inside and out. It was in walking distance of the local shops and beach. We will definitely stay here again.

Plenty of room and everything you need here. Walking distance to the beach was convenient. We had a great time!

This house is immaculate. The location is great. About a five minute walk to a not very busy beach. Nice pool right out the back door. It’s nice and homey and very well appointed.

I spent 5 nights here with my two teenage girls and they each brought a friend. The property is extremely well-maintained and clean! It is very bright and had everything we needed. The older girls and younger girls could have slept all in the 2nd bedroom which has a queen bed and two bunk beds, but they preferred to be in separate rooms and the older girls slept in the living room where there are two love seats and a sleeper sofa. The walk-in shower in the master, and tub shower in BR2 were spotless and the water temp and pressure was great. The beach access point is about 2 blocks away, which was an easy walk. You do have to cross a street to get there which was no problem for my 13 year old and 16 year old girls. I was comfortable with them coming and going to the beach on their own, but probably not if they were any younger. There were some basic beach supplies there for use. The pool is right outside the back door which is ultra convenient; it is shared with the other 11 units in the little complex. Neither the beach nor the pool were crowded during our June stay. The kitchen is amply stocked, and all of the appliances are in great condition. There are small porches off of each bedroom and small balconies off of the living room and kitchen. The floor plan is open and the high ceiling in the upstairs living room is nice. The AC works really well and it’s nice that the bedrooms are downstairs because they stayed cool all evening. There are two parking spots and Outlaw BBQ next door was tasty. The master mattress was pillow top and has significant impressions in it from use, that could stand to be replaced. I slept on it 5 nights and I didn’t lose any sleep over it though . There is a TV in the master and one in the living room. The cable service isn’t great and they aren’t smart TVs so it was limited to that or DVDs. The remote in the living room hardly functioned. This was not very limiting because the wifi was fast and reliable so my kids just watched their phones. We also weren’t there to watch TV anyway so it worked fine for us. The bbq grill is a basic small charcoal grill and is on the master BR porch. I think that local code requires it to be over 7 ft from the house so it couldn’t be on the balcony off the kitchen or living room upstairs. I just made breakfast and lunch there and we ate out for dinner so I didn’t use the grill at all. We loved it and had a great time. Very glad I chose to stay here!

Pros: -The house is cleaner than the majority of homes my family members and I have stayed in over the years. -It's a 5 min. walk to the beach. -Although I brought my own everything, she had cleaning products, TP, PT's, laundry soap, plenty of towels, etc. Cons: -The house is pretty outdated and needs some upgrades and many small fixes. -The owner is not a very nice person if anything goes wrong- your fault or not, and has poor communication skills. We got there and I texted "House is great but key is stuck in the door..." She told me to leave it in the lock- it was a safe neighborhood, no break-ins and her husband would come in the morning. I was traveling alone with 5 kids and I wasn't about to leave a key in the door- don't even want to think about what could've happened. I told her she could have someone come that night, call a locksmith, or reimburse me for one- all reasonable options to me. A neighbor came and then she texted me that I put the key in backwards. That can't happen first of all, and if it did, you wouldn't be able to unlock the door. I've used keys for 40+ years- they don't go in backwards. On our last night I put some leftover spag. down the garbage disposal and it sucked it down too fast and the drain clogged. I let her know and OMG, she acted like 1) I had done it on purpose- "you & your kids" were stuffing too much food down it 2) like I had accused her of having a crappy, disgustingly dirty disposal or something (?!) and 3) like I was telling her to come right then and fix it. I was boggled. All I did was let her know it was clogged- I didn't care when she fixed it since we were leaving in the a.m. She acted so rude and personally insulted- it was very weird. Went off about how she cleans the house and inspects it, on and on. I didn't mean to do it- it was an accident, but she made me feel TERRIBLE! If you're going to rent a house out to strangers, you've got to be able to handle the good AND the bad and communicate NICELY. We were AMAZING renters! Took good care, kept it clean, and left it immaculate. However, she sent me a pic 2 days later showing me the spag. in the drain and went off on me about "I can do what I want in my house -Google foods that don't go in gar. disp.", she was just mean and rude. My insurance paid for the plumber, oh, and a lost set of keys which of course, she filed as a "theft". sigh I'm sure she's nice if everything goes PERFECT- but humans and houses are NOT perfect.

My family stayed in two condos facing each other. One of the condos had an air conditioning problem, but that was resolved quickly. The stay was very pleasurable.

I have booked this townhouse twice, and the one next to it once. They are always clean and well stocked with everything you might need. I love the location because it is close to St. Andrews and Pineapple Willys. Also having the pool is so nice for the younger kids that have more energy than the parents!

We really enjoyed Irina’s place! It was very close to shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed the large kitchen and all the extra accessories provided!

Nice, clean, & beautiful. Quick walk across the street to the beach. Close to several shops, restaurants, and bars! Pool was very clean. Would love to stay again!

This is a very clean and nice place to stay, the only thing that would have made it A five star place is the pool. It was too hot they need to fix the jets. There was only 2 jets running when the pump was on.

Everything is very close to the townhouse, specially the beach! The house is nice and clean, You will get what you pay for. The pool is great for kids and the neighborhood seemed very safe.

We enjoy staying there! The house is beautiful and super clean and it has everything that we need and the owner is really nice!!!!! It was the best experience ever!!! The house is at a perfect location, it is really close to the beach and there were a lot of fun things to do. Love it and will be back sometime soon!!!!!

Very short walk to the strip, right across from the beach, pool is great for the children and very clean. Rental comes with everything you could possibly need! There were towels, linens, beach toys, dishes, etc. Irina was wonderful to work with. Highly recommended! I'm not one for an hotel, so this was perfect for us!

We LOVED our stay here. The beach access was closer than the description made it out to be. The house was very clean and spacious. There were coolers and a nice stroller for the beach and pool toys for the kids. We all really enjoyed our stay here and would totally stay again, for our next family vacation.

Good managers

We have been booking with VRBO for at least 10 years and this is by far our best experience. I can’t say enough good things about Irina. She is a wonderful landlady who is very responsive to your every need. She responds immediately to your enquiries and was very helpful suggesting places to visit and to where buy fresh seafood. As for the property itself, it is bright, beautiful, very comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. You come in, unpack your suitcase and enjoy your vacation. The property is literally steps from the pool which is clean and inviting. It is less than a five minute walk from the beach and everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach is also included with the property. The complex itself is clean and quiet. I highly recommend this property for couples or a family vacation.

When we were unable to visit our usual vacation spot in the Florida Keys due to Hurricane Irma, we turned to vacation rentals.com. There we found "Serenity by the Sea" in Panama City Beach, FL. Booking a vacation rental online was a new experience for us. It turned out to be a great experience. It was a joy to work with the homeowner, Irina. She answered all of our questions before and during our stay. The home was beautifully decorated, spacious, and fully stocked with necessary and extra items for a wonderful stay,

Family had a great vacation. I will definently be returning to Serenity by the Sea we loved it. Thank you Irina for all your help and all the extra locations and attractions you gave us the inside scoop in.

We really enjoyed our stay everything we needed seemed to be there and the pool was nice too!

Convenient, Clean, Great location

Me and my family had a blast. I will definitely do it again next year. Thanks a lot.

This is a great location to so many attractions! The place was very clean and only a short walk to the beachside. We will def be here again.

This is a great location and perfect accommodation for family vacation! Everything you need is there, even what you don't expect! We came with kids, so kitchen was important. It has it all! Pool is literally on the backyard, very convenient. And it's not even 5 min walk to the beach. We loved every minute of being there. Highly recommending this property. Clean, private and welcoming.

What an enjoyable place to call home for a few days!! This adorable place is very spacious and neat, the neighborhood is quiet and we felt safe at all times. The walk to the beach was very easy, and the pool and surrounding grounds clean and very well maintained. Owner is quick to respond to/return phone calls and emails. The property is a short drive from Pier Park where we enjoyed shopping and dining, and also near Adventure Island Water Park. Great Place to stay.

My family and I stayed here as my sister and cousin's graduation gift. We all had such a blast. I recommend this place for people of ALL ages to stay! It was literally directly across the road from the ocean. The pool was clean and well maintained, the beach house was very spacious, the rooms were great sizes, and I am really going to miss how spacious the shower was! The location was wonderful because it was not at all too busy and you could relax. The owner is easy to contact and work with. Overall, we had a BLAST and will definitely return next year! Who ever rents this will be very pleased! It was beautiful and clean and we did not have to worry about any loud neighbors!

We like that house , very comfortable and spacious! Super close to the beach , it took us less than 5 minutes. Steeps to local oyster bar Ymm!!! good location ! We like to recommend to everyone !!
