About this property

Great west beach location - Half block to beach! Between PCB and Rosemary

Sand Dollar Beach Cottage 108 is a cute, clean, economical great little condo close to the beach. Accommodates 4. Located on the west end of Panama City Beach, this condo offers a quiet place to relax and enjoy the beach. It has a large balcony facing the gulf (you can feel the breeze and hear the waves), offers great sunsets and sunrises, a carport to keep your car out the elements and sun, a queen size bed in the bedroom, and a sofa sleeper in the living room that can make a queen bed or two twin beds. The condo is fully stocked with fresh linens, towels and kitchen supplies.

Though small the cottage condo has all the comforts for the beach. The kitchen has full size appliances, the bath is large for a small unit and everything is nice and clean. The kitchen is fully quipted with pots, pans, plates, utilsiles, coffee pots- Mr. Coffee and a Keurig, toaster, dishwasher, range , microwave and side by side refrigerator with water dispenser and ice maker.

This condo was everything we needed for a last minute couple trip to the beach. It is a short walk to the beach in a nice neighborhood, and convenient to nearby shopping and restaurants. This section of beach was not crowded and very clean. We enjoyed watching sunsets and listening to the waves from the large third-floor private balcony. The bed and pillows were very comfy. Plenty of towels and kitchen utensils etc. Covered parking was very convenient. Keep in mind there is no elevator, cable TV or wifi. The TV picks up local channels on a digital antenna. Neither of these were a concern for us, just something to note for future guests.Thanks Joe for your hospitality!

Wonderful getaway spot

This little condo was perfect for my children and myself. We could see the ocean from the wonderful outside deck. It was clean and had everything that we needed. I will say to read Joe’s helpful guide once you arrive because it has all the info you need in it! The walk was short and such a great area. We saw turtles, sting rays, a manatee, and dolphins.

Great location close to a quiet beach.

We were impressed with how well the unit was laid out and all the thoughtful touches. We loved the blankets in the closet and the extra new towels that were available. The bed was soft and comfortable. I enjoyed the sofa and the option of Keurig or Coffee pot. I was not expecting the unit to be on the top floor, up two full flights of steps. I also did not realize there would be no Wifi or smart TV access. Overall - We had a wonderful stay in the condo and would stay there again.

Just off the beaten path

For the last ten years I have been vacationing in this area and I love it. It is a short drive to everything, but far enough from tourist dense areas to allow you a peaceful beach visit. We estimated the walk to the beach from the unit to be about 150 yards, an easy walk for me. This unit is a single bedroom with furniture in the living room that can be configured for additional guests. We enjoyed the deck which does have a glimpse of the ocean water. The unit was well stocked and organized. The single car carport was a great plus in the Florida heat!

Great time, close to the beach!

We enjoyed our stay at the sand dollar cottage. We enjoy the Laguna beach area, but usually not the prices of other lodging. The kitchen is fully stocked. The balcony is perfect for sunbathing. We took a DVD player as we expected lots of rain on our stay. We went to the red box at Winn Dixie down the street. Quiet area but close to all the attractions including pier park. This is on the top level so be prepared to climb 3 flights of stairs. We had no issues with this however. Also there’s no room for public parking at the beach so you’ll have to walk. The walk is very short but we have small children so we had to take everything except the kitchen sink. We usually drove and dropped our things off like the tent and walked back. We will def stay here in the future. Cozy and quaint, exactly what we were looking for.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

My family and I have enoyed this area of the Florida pan handle for years. I have always loved this section of the emarld coast. Once I first saw unit 108 and this quiet spot I wanted it.

When I began looking for a place in Florida I made a short wish list of things I wanted in a beach spot hangout.

Nice beach
Covered parking
Short walk to beach
Area attractions/grocery/walkability/bike ability
Outside storage
Clean
Economical
Low Rise / Less dense development
Faces the gulf
Larger than normal deck/balcony

Not necessarily in that order. Unit 108 met all of these conditions.

I was impressed on how clean the unit was….I was happy to find out it had never been on vacation rental market so therefore its in better than average condition for its age. The cottage has its original appliances- which are all in great working condition.
