These hosts thought of EVERYTHING! From a shared pantry in case you forgot something to dog leashes, toys, bedding and towels! Stunning scenery, quiet surroundings and a 15 minute drive across the bridge to the beach. Read the literature provided to give some insight to the decor and warm feeling of this home. Clean, clean, clean too! We will be booking again!

We enjoyed very much the history and quiet surroundings of this house. We enjoyed our stay very much.

House on water in quiet neighborhood

This is such a hidden gem! Ellen and Robbie were so nice and the home was perfect! It is older and decorated older but it’s so wonderful! We will definitely be back. House was clean, very well stocked, and couldn’t be a better place to enjoy Panama City!

This was an amazing house and location for a relaxing vacation! The house had so much character and interesting aspects throughout the house that made for great conversations. Being located a few steps from the warm calm bay water was perfect for relazing evening after being at the gulf beaches or out playing golf. The owners were great and can't thank them enouh for such a wonderful home to enjoy our vacation in. Downside: next door there was a very talkative and sometimes loud bird at the neighbors which caused some issues at night with our son and dogs but tolerable.

Everything about this place was perfect. Cleanliness, location and privacy, just to name a few. Ellen and Robbie we’re wonderful hosts, giving us our privacy but easily accessible if you need them. We can’t wait to come back next year.

This was by far the most accommodating vacation rental that I've ever stayed in. The owners made sure that we had everything we might need. I would most definitely recommend this property to anyone that is looking for a quiet get away.

Thank you for providing such a quiet and secluded get away for us. Your home had everything we needed and we really appreciated how clean and well organized everything was. We hope to be able to stay here again in the future! We did not get to sit out by the water but walked out there and saw that it would be a very relaxing spot. We loved watching all the birds and squirrel that also consider your land their home!

The location, the home, and the private beach were a special, private piece of paradise. Two teachers and their two dogs sun bathed, read, eat, kayaked, and laughed. This was the most amazing vacation rental spot I have ever been to. The hosts, Ellen and Robbie, are top notch: everything you could imagine was provided. The family home was decorated so adorably. There are tons of little tranquil spots all over the property. Everything was just beautiful, wonderful, and relaxing.

Our stay at Ellen and Robbie's home was exceptional. First of all, communication with the hosts is easy! They live behind the rental home so you can always just speak with them OR texting a question was answered speedily as well. They totally respect your privacy and are only there if you need them. Secondly, the view of St. Andrew's Bay cannot be beat. Sitting to eat while gazing at the bay was one of my favorite parts. Relaxing in the Adirondack chairs on your own private little stretch of beach was better yet. Sunsets are awesome. There are kayaks for use and also a firepit. The house is spotless and very comfortable. Entry with a code lock is easy peasy. The beds were very comfortable; showers had hot water immediately with great pressure! There's a hair dryer and curling iron, toilet paper and shampoo/conditioner. Washer and dryer full size & detergent. We brought our 2 dogs and found the fenced side yard to be a big plus. There's a hose for sandy feet and the area is shaded & fenced for when they want to hang out unleashed. ALSO if you happen to forget something, Ellen and Robbie have all kinds of pet items in a corner all their own: crate, gates, bowls, toys, poop bags, leash, a tie out and dog towels!!! Walking he neighborhood with your pooch is great too. Lots of friendly people. There's also a "pantry" with spices, cooking oil, vinegar, flour, etc. AND a cupboard with a selection of teas and some coffee. If you are a reader, you will be in heaven as there is a plethora of books!!! Kids books too. I've never been to a rental home that had so many unusual items not normally found: reading glasses, stationery, stamps, pens. (The only downside is you'll need streaming capabilities for the tv.) We thoroughly enjoyed our monthly stay and highly recommend Maplesden Legacy. When in Panama City, be sure to visit St. Andrews State Park, also Conservation Park. Downtown St. Andrews is really cute. Alice's on Bayview had excellent food. Every Saturday there's a Farmer's Market at Oaks by the Bay Park. We went to Panama City Beach's Pier Park which is an experience in itself.

We enjoyed the month of January at this unique home. Good places to eat nearby...not far from shopping and activities. Nice place to bring your dog. Thanks Ellen and Robbie.

The Mapelsden Legacy is right on the beach. There were absolutely no amenities that were lacking- there were even towels specifically for our dog. The location was more than convenient for all our activities away from the home. Checkin/out process was simple. The hosts, who live in the house behind this one, made sure everything was to our satisfaction. Between the fire pit and chairs on the shore, the deck and the bocce ball set, you couldn't ask for a more relaxing location. Would definitely stay here again.

It was great having our dogs with us. The beds we're very comfortable, and everything we needed plus some was already there. Beautiful outside this home also , even though houses were close you still have privacy and your own little private beach area . We highly recommend this place and plan to stay again in the future.

Fabulous home on the bay in Panama City filled with nostalgia and family artifacts that make your holiday special.

clean had everything you needed just wonderful we will try to come back for a longer stay

Great location, beautiful home, very clean, and hosts were excellent to work with!

If you love family time, appreciate the beauty of nature and the serenity of peacefulness....this is your place!! Everything you could possibly want or need is available here. Kayaks, Bayfront Views, Fire Pit, Patio, Patio, and Patio. Covered Parking Bbq grill! The amenities are amazing..super clean...but most of all a touch of the past! If you have pets they cater to them as well with everything from their own towels, toys, doggie run, a gate, a kennel , a bed and even visiting tags. Just in case of an emergency. All they require is that you ckean up after them and PLEASE keep them off the furniture. Just a small thing to ask considering all they provide you with. If you need a break. If you need a peaceful vacation you should refinery check this hidden gem out!!

We had a beautiful stay. The home was comfortable, clean, and probably the best stocked vrbo we have ever stayed at. We had all the essentials provided. The queen bed was firmer then we like but for others may be fine. We have an over sized truck and the driveway to the home was a little tight because of small trees and brush hanging over but our gracious hosts cut them back. We couldn’t believe all their hard work to make it easier for us. Ellen and Robbie are on the same property but do respect your privacy. Everything you need is a short drive. We swam with dolphins guided by Water Planet/ Capt. Gary. It was amazing swimming in the ocean right with the dolphins. We loved St. Andrews State Park. Also Half Hitched Miller Pier is a must see for sunset and fishing. We would stay at this home again and would certainly recommend it for anyone visiting the area.

This was our second time vacationing here and it was just as amazing as the first time we stayed. The house was clean and very organized. The house was well stocked with the necessities. Robbie and Ellen were readily avaiable with any questions we had. It was great that there was a Smart TV that we could log into our Netflix, Disney +, and Amazon Prime accounts. The beach on the property was fantastic for swimming with my dog, finding critters with my kids, and kayaking in the bay. Above all, was the feeling we got in the home. It truly felt like we were in a home away from home. Thank you Robbie and Ellen for opening up your special property to us! We will surely be back.

Quiet, private and fabulous view of St. Andrews Bay. Robbie and Ellen are terrific hosts! The property is in a quiet area of Panama City. We stayed with family and our pup. We have never been to Panama City and loved the area! The house has everything you need! We enjoyed exploring the nearby towns, local restaurants and relaxing on the deck and beach. We were the envy of our friends and family being able to escape the cold and snow of Michigan and Ontario! Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy some family time and enjoy the history of your home. A big thanks to Juke for visiting with us and entertaining Daisy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was beautiful and the owners were very helpful. Wish we could have stayed longer

My wife and I, and our dog, stayed 1-30-22 to 2-12-22. Plus, another couple joined us for 7 of those days. Ellen & Robbie are 5-start hosts, and their historic VRBO home is beautiful and well equipped, and the outside yard and the white sand private beach are fabulous. This place is very quiet and private, and has everything you need. There are some good restaurants within a mile, and grocery stores within 2 miles. And I can't imagine a VRBO that is more dog friendly than this one. We hope to be back soon!

We very much enjoyed our vacation! Ellen and Robbie supplied everything needed and more. The house is more than a vacation home, it is history and so interesting. We enjoyed kayaking and our dogs enjoyed swimming in the bay. We highly recommend this property!

We loved our stay in this home! We especially loved how clean the home was! We had our dogs with us on this trip and

We loved the home and landscaping. The house is recognized by the habitat association. The home is full of local history and comfortable as can be. Sunrise and sunset watching on it's beach. The available reading material are all the classics and then some. Very quiet area for just relaxing. We will be returning to this home again for vacation.

Property owners very nice and very accommodating. Awesome location and very nice and private property

We celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary with a few friends and it was so much fun! We had everything we could have wanted and needed provided! Great vacation home for sure! We didn't want it to end!

We loved staying at this house on the bay. The house was beautiful and well kept while still being comfortable and feeling like home. Having our own little beach in our backyard for the week was magical. When we wanted to be outside and still enjoy the view but not walk to the sand, the deck was the perfect solution. The large backyard enhances the view and provides a great place for children and pets to play. Every meal in the dining room with the big picture window looking out over the bay was a joy. Vacation rentals are our favorite for time away from home and we have rented several over the years. This was by far my favorite rental and I can't wait to go back. Thanks, Helen and Robbie, for making our stay great!

This place is amazing. Very quiet and peaceful. I loved that the owner will message you if there's possiblity for early check in and I was able to check in an hour earlier. The extra does help when there's so much excitement. I'm a dog mom and this place was perfect for them. They loved the private beach, it was pretty much to ourselves. The house was clean and was equipped with absolutely everything you need. I brought two xlarge kennels and they had no problem fitting in the livingroom area, there are two living room areas by the way. Lots of room to move around with a view you can't beat. This place is right in the middle of entertainment 10-15 to Panama City Beach and 5 min to Marina walk. We just had the best time! The owners are easy to get a hold of if needed. Kayaks were available for us to use and it was my first time so it was an extra bonus. We will definitely be coming back. We can't thank the owners enough for an easy accessible house with all the extras! plus and outside shower that was perfect to bath my dogs. It was our 16th anniversary but I'm so happy our dogs got to enjoy it as much as we did.

We traveled to Panama City for a swim meet but really aren’t fans of the tourism hustle and bustle near the beach. This place was exactly what we needed for my daughter to rest between swim sessions and for mom to relax on a rare weekend off. It had everything we needed and then some. We made meals at the house which saved time and money, enjoyed some wine and the sunset by the fire pit, and our doggies thoroughly enjoyed their mini vacation as well. Check in and communication were a breeze. Everything was just perfect. 10/10

This home was great for our family. We brought the dog with us and felt safe letting him out. Owner was very sweet and friendly. Property was as pictured. We will be back...
