Bay Front Home W/Private Bch in Historic Neighborhood. Family/Dog Friendly

Absolutely the most beautiful and wonderful home and property…a certified butterfly and bird sanctuary! I can’t think of a single thing we needed to enjoy the home and grounds. Our second visit and we’ll be back again to sit in the sunroom, watch the squirrels and birds and sparkling bay. Exceptional!!

Historic Gem with Exceptional Hosting and Natural BeautyRating: Our stay at this beautiful Panama City, Florida home was nothing short of incredible. The hosts have thought of everything; the property was equipped with every amenity we could possibly need and more.For nature lovers, this location is unbeatable. We spent our days immersing ourselves in the local wildlife and exploring the stunning surroundings, including:* Hiking trails at Conservation Park* Trips to Saint Andrews State Park and Pine Log Wildlife Refuge.* Taking our two pups to the fantastic dog beach at Pier Park.* Renting a pontoon for a memorable excursion to Shell Island.Each evening ended perfectly with breathtaking sunsets by the fire.Beyond the property and the location, we were most impressed by the generosity and flexibility of our hosts. When a major storm unfortunately cut our trip short, they were incredibly accommodating and helped us navigate our changing plans during a stressful situation. Their hospitality truly went above and beyond.We cannot recommend this home highly enough and look forward to returning!

Beautiful home. Very comfortable! Lovely view and very special gardens. Hosts were wonderful too. Hope to return soon. Laura, Linda and Gail

This is a lovely old beach cottage with filled with unique decor and antiques. Such a quaint and interesting home. The view of the bay is spectacular and the property is a certified wildlife habitat . A great quiet walkable neighborhood and being dog friendly all adds to the experience. The St. Andrews neighborhood has an old Florida feel to it which we love, yet the beautiful Panama City beaches are only minutes away.

We loved the home and the area!

Outstanding property. Certified wildlife habitat, private beach on the bay, lots of memories on display. Owners thought of every possible need.Truly Paradise!

It was beautiful very friendly owners beutiful views of the bay and the birds and wildlife also the home itself had so much history via books,pictures,notes and very historical i loved it will definitely be back

This was our second time staying at this property, and it won't be our last! The owners are absolutely amazing and the property itself is breathtaking! And, you're just minutes from anything you could possibly want or need.

We are enthralled with this incredible vacation home.Savor it with those you love.

We enjoyed our quiet slow paced stay so close to all the excitement. Ellen was quick to answer any questions. Look forward to bringing my family back to this beautiful home.

This home was amazing! Very accommodating! Everything we needed was there! Probably the cleanest I've been in! The towels smelled so good and soft! The beds were so comfortable I didn't want to get up!This was our fur baby's first beach trip and she loved it! This home has a lot of history! If you are a wildlife lover this is a perfect home for you! Ellen & Robbie are super friendly and helpful! It's a great neighborhood!

The house was thoughtfully stocked with about everything one could imagine -- and more besides. From spices to birding books to eco friendly toilet paper, the owners had thought of it all. The views were outstanding and it was wonderful to be able to take coffee by the bay, or enjoy a fire pit (with wood kindly provided).The house itself is as advertised: an unpretentious family home, preserved in time, with vintage furnishings & family photos. The owners live beside the cottage and are available for assistance. There were small signs/notes on several pieces of furniture, couches, beds, chairs (do not put shoes or pets on furniture). While we completely understood the sentiment, all those signs were a little off putting. The house is about 2 lots away from a sewage transfer/ mini sub-station point (forget the exact term); on the beach, it did *occasionally* smell and it could be noisy for short periods. This didn't impinge on our enjoyment of the waterfront, since it was occasional. The neighborhood's pleasant and quiet, convenient for a nice walk and not far from the restaurants of St Andrews. Highly recommend Luna Muna for breakfast & Uncle Ernie's for above average seafood fare. Final note: we tried the nearest grocery -- Outlet Grocery -- and would recommend driving further afield if you like a wide selection (like fancy butter or organic veg). All in all, we had a relaxing, quiet weekend in a well stocked home with beautiful views and access to the bay.

This was our 2nd stay! The property owners go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Very pet-friendly with a separate fenced area on the side of the house that’s shaded and has a shower station! Beautiful views each day… all day…. of St Andrews Bay. You hear the gulls, see tugs and barges go by, listen to the fighter jets doing their practice runs from Tyndall Air Force base. Lots of friendly neighbors. Oaks by the Bay Park has a farmers market ea wkend. Frank Brown Park as well as Conservation Park have awesome walking paths. We totally enjoyed our monthly stay! Thx!!!

We stayed over Christmas and arrived to a thoughtfully decorated home. Every detail was perfect. The outdoor area was absolutely lovely with western sunset view over the beautiful St. Andrew Bay. We couldn't ask for more.

We had such a great time at this house on the bay! It was sparkling clean, cozy and comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed for a weekend. My daughter and I came over from Tallahassee for the weekend to watch the Christmas boat parade on St Andrew’s Bay and it was amazing! The home is in a very quiet neighborhood but an easy walk to restaurants and food trucks. It has a great porch outside and a sandy beach on the bay where you can watch the sunset. We went shopping at Pier Park which is about 7 miles away. There are so many shops and restaurants very close. It is near the beaches but away from all of the the busyness. I can’t wait to return to this wonderful property!

The house was old Florida, which I love. The yard had lovely flowering plants that attracted all manner of birds and butterflies. We had some strong winds and a squirrel fell to the ground and was injured. Ellen and Robbie consulted a vet and attempted to save the little guy. The beach was quiet, peaceful and clean. The water was shallow which was great for throwing a ball out into the water. The restaurant in the area were great. Loved the place. The only thing that we would have enjoyed is a pier.

This was an amazing home. We all loved the area and the house. The bay beach area was perfect for those double red flag beach days. The sunrises and sunsets were on point. Ellen and Robbie are amazing hosts. We look forward to going back.

We picked this place because it was close to Saint Andrews Marina since this was basically a fishing trip but I would recommend it for families or anyone. The managers were the best of any property where I have stayed.

Charming old style beach house. Very clean and spacious. The host was accommodating and helped us with everything we needed.
