house is Beautiful, great location, great amenities, fully stocked kitchen , lovely living space.Quiet nieghborhood. we eill be back

The house was very clean and beautiful, and it looked just as pictured. The management company was extremely responsive—all texts and messages were answered immediately. They were also very nice! We did have an issue with the downstairs A/C, but the management company made it right for us. The house is in a GREAT neighborhood. I walked every morning of our stay, and I felt very safe in the neighborhood and surrounding area. It is a short walk to the public beach although the street you have to cross to get to there is very busy, and there is no light! We drove each day, but we saw many people who walked to the beach. Just be careful of cars! We easily visited Rosemary Beach, Seaside, and Santa Rosa. They were a short drive away and so fun to visit for food and shopping. There is a Publix close by to get groceries, a fresh fish market, and many places to eat. My husband and brother-in-law enjoyed golfing at Emerald Bay, using the 1 free pass per day that comes with the rental. This did make it more cost effective for them! The house had a lot of beach supplies in the garage closet. There were lots of bikes although we didn’t use them this time. The golf cart was fun to drive around the neighborhood and worked well to get picked up at the beach in. Don’t count on it to get you around as a main form of transportation. We had good food at Ghost Crab Pizza, The Big Chill, Old Florida Fish House, Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, and more! We would definitely rent here again!

Overall fun stay. Golf cart and bikes are nice to get to the beach. Crossing 30A can be an adventure on it's own but manageable. Pictures list a scooter but not available after clarifying with Panhandle Getaways. Spacious home but ductless AC could not cool house very well. If someone has a hard time getting up and down stairs, maybe not a good option. The house was very nice, furnishings were great, close to the pool and places to eat. Also, close to Publix for groceries. Communication with the Panhandle Getaways was great via text or phone call. Thank you for the nice stay!

The first thing I can say about this property is that my 3 kids all agreed it was their favorite 30A home *by far* of the five years we've been visiting Florida for spring break (and we've stayed in some wonderful homes)!.... The home itself is beautiful, and very functional - kids on the bottom floor, a garage stocked full of everything you'll need for the beach, a *perfect* main floor (more on that later), and a beautiful upstairs bedroom(s) area. The outdoor decks are so serene and well appointed. Our family *thoroughly* enjoyed having the use of a golf cart for dinners out. The kitchen and main floor were superb. I am a snobby kitchen person/home chef and they had everything - decent knives, tupperware, pots, etc. There are games, comfy couches, high visibility (for little ones) and an open floor plan. Also, the little hospitality touches upon arrival were very much appreciated. Communication with Panhandle Getaways started out rough, as we booked through VRBO but then a couple email communications were lost/not sent to confirm our trip. However, these were smoothed over in the ensuing interactions and then some - they are very communicative and very accommodating. Overall, it was an absolutely beautiful stay. We hope to be back next year.

Absolutely fantastic stay for the senior spring break trip for my daughter and her friends! The house exceeded all expectations. First off, the bikes provided were a game-changer, making it a breeze to explore the beautiful surroundings. The location was perfect - just a short ride to both the beach and downtown area, while also being right next to a pool. The cleanliness of the house was impeccable, and the quality of amenities provided made us feel right at home. Couldn't have asked for a better rental experience. We love the area and if we were to come back, we’d stay at this rental again and again. Only drawback was that the original listing for the home included the use of electric scooters however that didn’t happen as they were not at the home. Highly, highly recommend!

The house layout is awesome. Older folks may not like 3 levels of stairs to climb to the master though. Having the golf cart and bikes is a must! The pool is small and not heated. The only negative was driving the golf cart or riding bikes across a 4 lane highway was pretty stressful. Otherwise, location to the beach was perfect. Beach access was great- public, close to the house and not very crowded. Bathrooms available as well. Beach service for an umbrella + 2 chairs was $50/daily. Well worth it for us vs. lugging all the beach gear over. Restaurants: Ghost Crab Pizza was delicious- a quick bike ride through the neighborhood. Bayou Bills was great and the Donut Hole is also a quick bike ride. Please provide pool/beach towels for future guests!! At this price point management companies provide these amenities with the home. It’s extremely inconvenient traveling with a suitcase full of towels or having to buy them.

House was well appointed with plenty of space for our group of nine. A few minor issues were experienced. Hot water at the third floor had low pressure and took a long time to be delivered from the first floor instantaneous heater. The ductless mini split systems were difficult to control and spaces were often too hot or cold.

The property was very clean and spacious. The pool is super convenient being right next door. You can look over at the pool to see if it’s busy, etc. The pool was often empty or had very few people in it. The property manager answered any questions super fast and was easy to get in contact with. The only downside of the location is having to cross the 4 lane highway without stop lights to get to the beach. Can be a little dangerous at times. We loved the bikes. The place has an umbrella, some chairs, a wagon, noodles, boogie board, etc. to use at the beach!
