About this house rental
We call our adorable and cozy 1BR townhome 'Beachside Joy” -- it is a beautiful gulf front unit that sits directly on the sugar-white sands of Panama City Beach (one of the most beautiful beaches in the world)! Beachside Joy is a NON-SMOKING unit.
When you stay here you are on the beach -- just walk down the deck stairs! This is not a high rise condo or hotel; there are no elevators to wait for and you don't have to share the beach with a thousand other condo residents. It's so wonderful to be able to walk right out the door and onto the beach or into the water!
Beachside Joy has a spacious living room, very tastefully decorated, with a 43" HDTV and a gorgeous view of the Gulf of Mexico. We have subscribed to over 160 channels (Xfinity) including most sports networks and some premium movie channels. The very comfortable couch is also a pull-out queen size sleeper sofa with a new and comfy memory foam mattress! There's a full bathroom on the same level (with a shower).
For convenience, the Beachside Joy has a beautiful, newly remodeled and fully-stocked cozy kitchen (including custom soft-close cabinets, quartz counter top, mosaic glass back splash, and high-end stainless appliances) so you can whip up a romantic dinner to enjoy on the deck while the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico. It is a challenge keeping good cookware in a vacation rental so we replace all the pots and pans every three to six months. If you book with us and need something that isn't there then give us a call or text (we'll bring it to you ASAP). If you like to barbecue, you’ll find a high-end Weber gas grill ready for use on the gulf front deck -- perfect for adding a grilled steak or seafood to the meal!
The master suite, right up the spiral staircase, is bright and cheery with picture windows offering beautiful and serene views of the beach and gulf (including the spectacular sunsets)! The bed itself is king size with a high quality mattress (so you can sleep soundly after a day of fun). And you'll absolutely love the beautiful master bath, with a large dual sink granite vanity and a jetted jacuzzi tub. The TV in the master suite is also high definition with lots of available channels.
As for location, Beachside Joy is located approximately 3/4 of a mile west of the fabulous Pier Park shopping resort! You can see the pier itself from the gulf front deck.
There are some great dining spots within walking distance of our townhome. Right across the street you’ll find a Wings/Barbecue place and of course a couple of great seafood places (check out the “Sand Bar” about a block away).
There is a Winn Dixie grocery store and a CVS pharmacy across the street as well. Just to our east (in Pier Park) you’ll find a world of entertainment, dining, and shopping. The pier itself offers great views and fine fishing!
We are constantly updating Beachside Joy. We have updated/refinished the bathrooms, replaced all the windows with crystal-clear hurricane glass, completely replaced the floors with gorgeous LVP flooring, installed new ultra-quiet and very efficient mini-splits, and updated most of the furniture.
We contracted with a new cleaning service in September 2022. They are a friendly and thorough service (so you’ll find our home well cleaned and ready for your vacation). If you have any cleaning issues when you check in we will immediately send someone to take care of the problems.
We keep our calendar up-to-date, so you can check the available dates. Please call or send us a message with questions!

Important note! Beachside Joy is a beautiful and comfortable beachfront vacation home, but it is is a small unit which requires a spiral staircase (there isn't room for a traditional staircase because the high ceilings, though airy and spacious, don't allow for enough length). The staircase is 100% in compliance with all building codes and the vast majority of our guests have no issues with them whatsoever. However, if you are elderly or have mobility issues to deal with, please consider the staircase before you decide to book with us. We want everyone who stays at Beachside Joy to have a wonderful time!

Check in was easy, the place was clean, and the access to the beach was my favorite! Will definitely try to stay here again in the future.
10.0 / 10.0
A very nice accommodation for a couple or small family. Great location and beautiful beach, yet no crowds on the sand!
Would liked to have had a permanent deck cover since the umbrella provided with the very nice deck seating was not sufficient for shade, particularly when grilling on the deck.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved the view and location. It was great being able to walk back to the townhouse if we needed a break from the beach. It was nice to be able to cook meals (including grilling) and eat them on the patio. The new owner was very responsive with any needs.

While we love this property area, we did not like the vinegar washed towels. The spiral staircase was unique. I would definitely suggest a better cleaning service, but my wife and I did enjoy our time at the beach.

I went for a quick getaway to recharge, just me and my pup, and this place was absolutely perfect! I sat on the porch and ate my lunch with the most beautiful view. You’re literally steps away from the ocean! I will definitely be booking here again!

Really nice little place to stay by the beach. Has all the essentials there and had a blast while there.

This location has the best direct access to the beach! The condo was perfect for us from the amazing updated bathrooms, patio, comfy bed and beautiful views. Everything is so convenient and the perfect vacation spot! The only suggestion I can give is the underneath of the patio needs to be cleaned out.

This is our second time staying at Beachside Joy. We love that it’s not a high rise so it’s more private on the beach. Overall it was a great stay!

Fabulous views main level & from Master upstairs. Owner Tim took care of any concern promptly.
Propane in the BBQ & back up tank provided, in case it ran out before we left. Plenty of closet space.
Spent most time outside on deck. Beach walks easy. Best sunsets. Enjoyed the Seagulls Pelicans & saw Dolphins one day. Will return.
Thanks

Beachside Joy is fantastic! It's clean, up-to-date, in a great location, and has perfect access to the beach right off the back deck. It's also a little more private, as you're not right beside a large hotel with lots of people. The owner is also really nice, communicates extremely well, and will wan tto make sure your stay is great. I cannot recommend this property enough! Just book it...you won't regret it. I'll be coming back to this property again and again.

We had a lovely stay at Beachside Joy. It truly lived up to its name these past several days. We loved the no fuss experience of being able to drive straight up to the place not worrying with catching a good spot in the parking garage and waiting for an elevator-we simply parked in our reserved spot, unloaded our things and got to the resting and relaxing that we came for this week. It was an effortless experience with the condo providing everything we needed and more. The master suite upstairs was perfect! King size bed, two closets, massive windows to awake in the morning and see the beach right in front of us. The master bath was amazing as well. We felt like we had our own private hot tub/spa! We took a bubble bath almost every day. The condo felt clean, airy and the beach views were unbeatable. We couldn’t be any closer to the beach if we tried. We felt lazy with how easy it was to lug our beach gear to the beach! Just a step off the deck and into the sand we were. We were close to some of our favorite restaurants to eat all the seafood we could. The owner was helpful and kind from the booking experience to the closure of our time there. It was the most perfect spot for two people! I’m writing this feeling sad that our time has ended but we know when we return we will be booking again with Beachside Joy. Thanks for the memories!

This is our favorite place to stay when visiting PCB. The home is clean and beautifully decorated. My husband and I stay with our 13 yr old cavapoo. The home is very pet friendly including a gated deck with a beautiful view. This beach house is our 1st pick whenever traveling to PCB. The owner is very attentive and kind. Thank you for always making our trip special!

Our stay was wonderful. Being right on the beach and not having to deal with elevators or being in a high rise was amazing. We brought our dog and our 7 year old and it was the perfect setup for us. We loved it so much we booked another trip at this unit for June!

We have stayed in another townhose years ago and still can't get over the location where you can walkout your back door and be on the beach. Tim was awesome. We were missing sheets to the pull out. Gave Tim a call and within hours had new sheets delivered. My wife and I would recommend Beachside Joy or Bliss to anyone who's looking for sun, beach, and relaxation.

I loved this trip! The location was amazing so close to everything in PCB. The townhouse is immaculate and furnished with top quality items from fixtures to decor to furniture. The owner installed a brand new Weber grill the day we arrived. I will definitely stay in this unit again.

Lovely property with a great deck and amazing views. Close enough to walk to restaurants and we even walked down to the
Pier with our pup. Great pet-friendly place to stay with a nicely furnished deck for enjoying the waves. We often brought food back and hung out there. Would highly recommend.

Very nice location and cozy. Easy walk to the pier and beautiful beach front location. Only down fall was the neighbors were VERY loud. You could hear everything all night long.

We came down for a quick trip of 5 days and Tim Bougan was so helpful and accomodating! We've stayed in Tim's beach town homes before and it's always been a great experience! We will definitely return.

Parking in this townhome complex is tight, but we had no major issues. Unit 5 is nicely decorated, a little dated, and some cleanliness was lacking. We noticed the start of a dark ring in both toilets, and found a long black hair in the bed (my hair is brown and graying). While sweeping up a little sand we had tracked in, a potato chip and a piece of candy came out from under the couch. We didn’t bring any potato chips or candy. The spiral stairway is steep and became tiresome, but the upstairs bedroom and master bath were gorgeous. I emailed the owner midweek regarding a potential issue, then later sent an update and an apology regarding the same issue, and never heard back from him either time. This really surprised me. We met three different neighbors because the decks are in very close proximity, and not private. They were all very nice and friendly. The view and beach access is absolutely amazing and we had a very nice week.

My partner and I brought our bulldog Winston, we were perfectly located on the beach- the view from the windows, patio, and bedroom were beautiful! I am 24 weeks pregnant and the short walk to the beach made things extremely enjoyable and easy for me. There were plenty of dishes, utensils, soap, towels and blankets provided. The unit has many directions labled for light switches, the door code, etc as well as check out procedures posted, thorough check in procedures and multiple contacts posted for the owners- making everything extremely smooth and convenient. We can't thank Tim & Vicki enough for our unforgettable stay and experience. If you are wondering if you should go ahead and book your stay here- DO IT! You will not regret it!

I so enjoyed my time in the house, it was JUST ENOUGH. Very clean and on the beach. We accidently found a wonderful Conservation Park within 3 miles that we were able to take our dogs on a walk to. Beautiful paths from 1.8 miles to 13 miles. Having owned a beach home in the past it was so nice to just relax while on vacation, and that is what we did. Relax and look at the ocean.

The place was in an excellent location! The accesses to the beach & view was amazing! It was very spacious for 2 people. Only down fall was it didn’t meet my expectations on cleanliness. It’s a pet friendly unit & in the notes it said any dog hair found it would forfeit your damage deposit.. Well there was ALOT of dog hair when we went in to check things out.. on the stairs, on the couch arms under the steps, in the floors. I bought Clorox wipes to clean the counter & chair arms off because the dog hair. This unit needs a deep clean for sure!

This was my second time renting and it never disappoints. Love how I can bring my four legged fur baby along for the trip. Such a nice place that’s convenient for the day on the beach and not far from anything else I want to go do or see. Thanks again for having us and letting us make wonderful memories.
