Amazing place!

Perfect house for our family of 6 plus our dog. The house is so cute and cozy and supplied with everything you could need. The private beach is definitely a huge bonus especially during a very busy spring break week. We give the Barefoot Bungalow 5 stars and hope to be back soon.

Home Away From Home

The Barefoot Bungalow is a beautiful, completely updated, everything new, and comfortable place to stay at the beach. My family enjoyed all the special touches provided by the owner. Very organized and a lot of thought put in to provide everything a family might need for an enjoyable stay at the beach.

FAMILY FALL VACATION

We enjoyed our stay. We had a great time and the owner was very nice and communicated very great with us. The location was great. We will stay again in the future if GOD bless us and allow us to! Ms. Lillie, THANKS AGAIN for everything. Pray to talk to you again. It was great spending time and visiting my family which I LOVE VERY VERY MUCH. We had a great time with the tumbling blocks and the outdoor fishing ring hook game.

Great location

Panama City Beach has grown over the years. You can't even see the ocean from the high-rise condos and hotels EXCEPT for this stretch of beach 1 block from this rental. It's a mile of undeveloped oceanfront and is absolutely gorgeous. As for Lillie we truly could not have had a better host with the gift of hospitality. Looking forward to working with her again. The 2 bedroom 1 bath house was clean and provided everything we needed. 5 stars 2 thumbs up.

Has it all

What a wonderful spot! This cozy little spot has it all. We were in town for a baseball tournament and needed a place for the week. Landed here. And how lucky t to find this place. More room than anticipated. Never felt crowded at all. Plenty of room to stretch out and relax. I worked a little bit and set up laptop on the dining table. While my son brought and played Xbox in the 85" TV. Kitchen had most needed items for cooking as well. We used the crock pot to get up dinner dip! Bedrooms were appointed with bedstand USB ports and nice comfy mattresses. Master had a remote for the fan. Bathroom shower is great. Never ran out of hot water for 2 adults and 1 kid. Plenty of parking available. We got in 4 vehicles with room for it baseball team and parents!! No joke! Loved it. Will be back and since it's a duplex. Our friends are renting the other side!!!

Loved the home and location!

Checkin and parking were smooth with info provided. Your ocean view is from the end of the driveway and absolutely gorgeous. It’s only 1 block from private gated access to the beach!! You can walk to it or drive with all the parking available. It’s so nice to be so close to Front Beach but have the feel of a private beach too. We loved the beach cart provided with towels, chairs and boogie boards-we didn’t even have to use the ones we brought!! We loved being so close to Funland, Pier Park and Gulf World!! But we had a BLAST at the Hidden Lagoon Golf & Racetrack because its right across the STREET from our duplex!! Definitely remodeled with that wonderful clean smell as you walk in. Finer finishes are all over the entire place. And so many smart TVs and smart plugs, you will never have to hunt for anything. It has a super comfy King Bed in one room and an amazing queen bunk bed that slept teenage son on the TOP BUNK with comfort and ease.

About the host

Hosted by Lillie Hamil

Host profile image
I’m married and a proud mom of two wonderful kids, ages 13 and 19. Growing up in Jupiter, FL, I’ve always been drawn to the beach—it’s where I feel most at home. After moving to the Panhandle, I fell in love with Panama City Beach and knew I needed a vacation home near the water, not just for my family but to share with others.

There’s nothing quite like the breathtaking emerald-green waters of the Gulf of America and the legendary pure white sand. For me, it’s all about helping families and friends create unforgettable memories that last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

One of the best locations in Panama City Beach. Within minutes of everything. No elevators and stairs. Private Parking at your front door. Duplex has been completely renovated.

What makes this property unique
