Venture Out ~ Panama City Beach, Florida 559 Grouper
Venture Out is a safe, family-friendly gated community that includes amazing amenities such as private beach access, fishing pier, two private pools, free clubhouse WiFi, mini golf, tennis and basketball courts, shuffleboard, large playground for the kids, and 24 hour security patrol. The pools are wheelchair friendly and one is for those off-season vacationers!
Our non-smoking/pet free home is perfect for families and friends wanting a relaxed, laid back vacation at the beach. We recently added a second, large living room to our home, which holds a full/twin bunk bed with a twin size trundle pull out, a sleeper sofa, a glider rocker, and a walk in ceramic shower and toilet.
Our original living space upstairs has a large family room with two couches, a chair, an electric fireplace, and a flat screen TV. The kitchen comes fully-stocked with all cooking utensils, electric stove, full size refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, and a set of TV trays. There is a cozy bedroom tucked away behind the kitchen that holds a king size bed and private bathroom and our unit does have a washer and dryer for your convenience. We also have a large covered porch with enough seating for everyone plus a few!
Enjoy some of our FREE, fun activities such as mini golf, shuffleboard, or play a game on our lighted tennis courts and basketball court! Pickle ball courts have beef added recently. There are also free outdoor grills located by the bay, giving you the perfect backdrop for a sunset picnic. Enjoy the free pier fishing located behind the heated swimming pool, located at the back of the park.
Need an excursion? Check out our boat access or take the private use golf cart for a spin to our bay pier and spot numerous birds, fish, and even a dolphin or two! You can even take a short 5 minute walk to Saint Andrews State Park, the perfect place to snorkel and paddle board! Saint Andrews State Park even has something to offer for those wildlife lovers, as you will find plenty of docile deer grazing near the pathways and even have close encounters with alligators in their natural habitat.
Venture Out is conveniently located just minutes from major grocery chains and Panama City favorites such as Ripley's Believe it or Not Titanic ship and Upside Down House!
Too rainy to hit the waves? Take a short 15 minute drive to Pier Park, a shopping center that offers everything, from one-of-a-kind boutiques to laser tag and plenty of unique dining experiences such as Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, Dick's last Resort, and Dave and Buster's! Pier Park is located right across the street from the longest pier in Panama City, and it was at this pier where the state record largest shark was caught!
Panama City Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, so let us show you why!

The place was great, Beth Dunn was great, venture out is the place to stay. We had a great time there , and the closeness to St. Andrews park was great. Beth was so helpful, hoping to rent from her for our next stay.
This is a great property. One bedroom with a bathroom, and one great room with seating and up to 4 sleeping spaces plus another bathroom. Also a nice kitchen and a small den. The resort has two pools, beach access, shuffleboard, mini golf, a playground and tennis/pickleball courts all included. The golf cart is great to get around the resort. You're right by the state park with not too much traffic. Highly recommended!
Property was fine for only 2 of us. Loved the golf cart for beach access and to view the resort. Weather was not too warm and the aftermath of storm damage was unfortunate.
The property itself os not bad. The layout worked for what we were there for. Not far from beach. The only two negatives were the AC was not working and it stayed hot. Would not have expected the mattresses to be too firm to sleep on. Slept on the couch or in recliner each night.

I am sorry your had to sleep in the recliner. I wish you would have notified us of the AC problem. We have since had the repairman out and we have been told the unit needs to be replaced. We would have sent the repairman out earlier if we knew
Great location, quiet, safe and comfortable. Could have used a more thorough cleaning. Dryer vent problems were taken care of immediately by owner who was easy to deal with. Great internet but main TV was small and old with analog cable and guest TV did not work. Comfortable king size bed and bathrooms were larger than expected and functional. Lots of sleeping space for kids that we snowbirds would have rather had a dining table than use tray tables but overall it was a good winter home for us.
Location was good and the golf cart made things really handy. Was really disappointed in the lack of cleanliness of the unit. Could use a really good cleaning. Also the cost to register a car was almost double what I was told. Not a huge deal but not accurate. Will probably stay in Venture Out again but will probably look for a cleaner unit.

Thanks for your input! That is one concern when I am not there to check on the beach house myself
I will address with the cleaning staff. I am truly sorry that you were disappointed in the cleanliness

This place was PERFECT!!! My daughter and husband said they would never stay in another hotel again. The house had everything we could possibly need from the golfcart to sand toys. It was spotless and smelled very clean. We have our fingers crossed that we can go back next year.
This place is great. The resort is at the end of the beach next to the state park so you're away from all the traffic and noise. The unit is a small house and had more than enough room for my family of four. The golf cart makes it so easy to get to the beach, pool, mini golf, shuffleboard, tennis courts and beach. The pool was heated and not crowded. There's not much activity in the state park this time of year but we still saw a huge gator maybe 25 yards off. Beth, the owner, is super responsive, friendly and helped whenever needed. I can't recommend this unit enough.
We liked the home. The owner was very nice and replied to me when I had a question. My only issue was trying to maneuver around the oversized king bed. I came home with some bruised knees lol. The house was decorated adorably and the house was laid out very well.

Thank you for staying with us! I am sorry about your bruises but happy you had a good time! Would love to have you stay again
This place is very clean, well decorated, comfortable bed. It has an updated bathroom and shower that is beautiful. Owners kept me well informed. Loved everything!
We loved staying at this vacation home. We highly recommend it!! We loved how the home had everything we needed. It was stocked with clean towels, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper....things we would normally have to go buy. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook at home too. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.
Loved how close the beach and pool were! Golf cart access was great-especially to get to and from the beach with stuff. Clean unit, more than enough space for our Family of 3. Was exactly as pictured. Owner was quick to respond to any questions.
Clean and well-stocked. Good location. Loved the golf cart. 😁
