A lovely cottage lovingly cared for. We spent most of our time on the charming back porch close to the coffee and well equipped kitchen….nice big TV too! Hosts were super responsive to the hurricane and concern for our safety. Feel like old friends now!!! Truly a relaxing two weeks.

Andrea, thank you for the lovely review, and thank you for already booking again! Just to let you know, I’m updating some of the furniture so it will look a little different when you arrive! New sofas and at least 2 of the sitting chairs will be replaced. Would love to hear your feedback once you’ve sampled the old and the new,

We are in the process of updating the furniture in both sitting areas and will update the site with new pictures as soon as that is complete in 2 weeks. Glad you enjoyed your stay!

This cottage was so cute! It was well appointed in a quiet neighborhood. We were a quick trip from the bay and the beach. It was much better than staying in a hotel. The space allowed us to stretch out and relax with the normal amenities from home. The host was so great and helpful!

This property was perfect for our PCB vacation! It was so clean and beautiful. We loved the location - I felt like I was living with the locals, but close to everything we wanted to do. I was thrilled that we were just down the street from St. John the Evangelist and we could walk to Mass. We will definitely be recommending to family and friends!
St. Andrew’s Bay was just down the street.

This cute little house was exactly as pictures show. We loved our relaxing week there, it was just what we needed. Panama City Beaches are only about 20 minutes away and that is what we were really there for, but it was so nice to come back to a quiet, relaxing house when we were done for the day instead of a crowded, noisy hotel. We also loved that we could bring our Mini Labradoodle with us because we couldn't bring ourselves to leave her for that long. Thank you!

This is an absolutely charming cottage, tucked away in a very quiet neighborhood. It was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities that we needed. Very thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for preparing meals, cleaning supplies and toys and games for the kids. A short walk to the bay. The very best part was that we could have our fur baby (dog) with us. We highly recommend for a family or even an older couple and their beloved pet, such as us. Ms. Kate, our host, was awesome and responded very quickly to any questions. Thank you for sharing your home.

We were so pleased with our stay at this lovely cottage! We traveled with our 2 kids and 2 dogs and felt right at home. The cottage was clean and nicely decorated. There is plenty of space inside and out. The bedrooms were all cozy with such comfortable beds. It is well equipped with the essentials you need. The location was great, in a quiet area right by the bay and conveniently located to stores, restaurants, beaches, and fun! The host was kind and easy to communicate with. We will definitely rebook here in the future! Thanks for a great stay!

We were so grateful to have the opportunity to stay at this cottage. Very comfortable, and felt like home away from home. Being pet friendly is a huge bonus. We love the St. Andrew's area, and this home is just steps away from the bay. The home is not too far from our son who lives in Bayou George, and not too far from the beach, but far enough to avoid the crowds. The home has been updated in some rooms, but the rest of the house has original characteristics that make it just lovely, to include the exposed block/brick.

This place did not disappoint my family it was peaceful clean and pleasant my kids enjoyed the football and the neighborhood cats and lizards would highly recommend booking this cute cottage

This home and property was fantastic. Charming home with well thought out appeal in a great location to stay close or go out and enjoy the area. We LOVED the close by private like little bay beach right down the street. And short rides to both Panama City and St. Andrews. We're so glad we found this place and would definitively come back here. Our host was very responsive and we had everything we needed. Some folks just give out 5 stars because they think 4 stars is insulting. This one is a Five Star.

Throughly enjoyed our stay. Quiet neighborhood, nice neighbors. Plenty of room for our party of four but was enough easily for 6. We will definitely book again on our next trip. This property is 15-20 from Panama City are beaches and only a 10 minute walk to St Andrew’s Bay. Minutes to downtown Panama City restaurants and shopping. Our host was always available when we had questions before arrival and the whole time during our stay.

House is in a quiet neighborhood. Adorable little older home. Check events in the area. Downtown PC and St Andrews had market day on saturday. There is an arcade and pub in PC if you have kids or a kid at heart and wanna reminisce. We had 2 pets with us and it was nice to have the yard fenced it to let them run around. Small bay beach across Scenic 98 within walking distance.
