Experience the bay, not just the beach!

We've been to the beach stays over a dozen times and found this experience unique and can recommend it. Hideaway is superior and unique. Being on the Bay itself was very relaxing. They have pontoons you can rent, too. If you are not experienced that's fine because Mr. Chuck will coach you on how to drive the pontoon safely. You've got to get on the water to really enjoy the community. I also used their kayak for free! Nearby is St. Andrews in Panama City for great food and sports bars. If you need a beach fix like we did, it's a very close drive to park and take your chairs and umbrella there hit the beach and Gulf for the warm afternoon. Go to Hideaway!

Wonderful stay.

We enjoyed this lovely unique place, thank you Chuck! We loved the view and and the river to have a swim. The bungalow Banana is well equipped and spacious. Chuck always responds quickly. He made sure that we felt at home.

Best VRBO host!

My sister in law and I came down to PCB for a weekend of scuba diving. The property was as advertised and had a beautiful view of the bay. The hospitality of Chuck and his notes around the property were amazing. We never needed anything during our stay but Chuck was readily available if required. We did not have a chance to use the paddleboards/kayaks but I saw where they had them stored with life jackets and water shoes available for use.

About the host

Hosted by Chuck

Hello, I am a property owner and long time builder. I came to Florida several years ago on a major condo project and simply never left. I enjoy the wildlife and nature this area has to offer; starting with the dolphins we often see daily from our homes. We are lightly populated residential area with all the activities close at hand, including great restaurants, parks, sugar sand beaches, shopping and so much more. You'll enjoy being outdoors; boating, paddle boarding & kayaks. I get a kick out of meeting the wonderful guests that come to experience "The Hideaway". The 6 rental units on the waterfront property keep you with plenty of options as well as other units off site. Vacation and business traveler's from literally around the world find their peace here at "The Hideaway" Panama City, Florida.
