Awesome time in Laguna Beach, Florida.

Great meeting John and staying at his home in Laguna Beach, Florida. The home is in a perfect spot and it's right across from the beach! There was plenty of space for my family, the home was clean and comfortable. I would recommend John's home for anyone looking to stay in the area. Thank you again John.

That view!

We were incredibly fortunate to find Jason and Jen's beach home on very short notice. It fit the bill for everything we needed - great high speed internet for my husband, who unfortunately had to work, pet friendly, clean, safe, and beachfront - everything was just as advertised. Jason and Jen were so friendly and a blast to talk to. The view from the second story deck is incredible! We watched the sunset every evening and enjoyed a cup of coffee while the sky lightened every morning. It's just a quick jaunt across the road and through the dunes to white sand paradise. The Emerald Coast is by far the prettiest stretch of coastline I have ever seen. We loved wading in the clear, clean water. An added bonus to the location was having Carousel grocery store just a few properties down (great wine selection!), as well as Thomas Donut/Snack Shop. I walked over there several times to pick up breakfast and lunch. We would definitely stay at Laguna Place again. Thanks, Jen and Jason for a great week!

Awesome, Fantastic, just what the doctor ordered

Jenn and Jason made everything super easy and were so accommodating. Seriously, awesome people and made sure we had everything we needed. My boyfriend, son and our two dogs had an absolute BLAST on the beach. My boyfriend had to work for the first day, and the WiFi and deck were a perfect office for him. Perfect location super close to everything you need. The place is so cute, very comfortable and the view from the deck is SPECTACULAR. Everything was clean, and we really enjoyed our stay here. We will definitely book with Jenn & Jason again. PS- there is a donut shop right up the block that has really good breakfast and there is a grocery store/liquor store on the other side as well that was supppppper convenient.

Clean, Comfy, and Convenient

Extremely pleased with our stay at Laguna Beach. The new owners really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. The house was furnished with everything we needed. We felt totally safe and the kids had a ball. My wife spent extra time in the ocean because she could see the bottom. It's a short drive to Pier Park for dining and shopping. We are looking forward to coming back next summer.

Legendary “Laguna Place” along the Beach

My wife and I loved sitting on the balcony with the cool sea breeze keeping us comfortable. My kids enjoyed the WiFI while “hanging out” in their rooms or balcony. The beach is 50 feet away for me and my family to swim with the very small fishes. The beach in front of Laguna Place has a unique feature. There is a second sandbar that creates a 3 foot “kiddie pool” like event. This was ideal to watch my 10-year-old daughter play without concern. A convenience store is 100 ft to the west for last minute grocery and knick-knacks and 100 ft from a ice cream, doughnut and breakfast shop to the east. Panama City Beach has a boardwalk, various Go-karts and other events to entertain my 14-year-old son. Overall, my family and I enjoyed “Laguna Place”, so much, that we would highly recommend it.

Wish we could live here!

We found this little hidden treasure last summer and couldn’t wait to book again this year. John & Susan were who we originally booked with but we were here for the change in property ownership and the new folks are super friendly! We especially love how close the property is to Thomas’ Donuts. We are looking forward to coming again next year!!

Absolutely Amazing

Our family had an amazing time during our vacation. John's place was everything we wanted. So clean and neatly organized. Perfect location! Right across the street from the water, far enough away from town and tourists, but close enough to anything we needed. Thomas's ice cream is just a two minute walk. We will definitely be staying again next year. The Frazier family

About the host

Hosted by Jen & Jason Browning

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Jen! I’m from Houston, Texas, and a proud avid fan of the Astros and the Texans! However my heart is split between Florida and Texas now, I am a Panama City Beach local 17 years. When I’m not cheering on my teams, you can usually find me on the water — I love boating, fishing, swimming, and just about any outdoor water activity.

I absolutely enjoy being a host because it allows us to meet wonderful people who often become like family. Many of our guests return year after year — sometimes several times a year — and it’s truly one of the most rewarding parts of what we do!

Why they chose this property

You will love Laguna Beach! If you have stayed in Panama City Beach before and not have the opportunity to be in Laguna Beach – you will likely never go anywhere else again in Panama City Beach. With walking distance to everything you need, it makes the most relaxing vacation spot. Our beaches are the most beautiful of Panama City Beach because we do not build on the sand to preserve everyone’s right to unobstructed views.

What makes this property unique

When you choose to stay with us, you are choosing to stay with classic Laguna Beach history! Our triplex was built in 1965 and is the only remaining triplex in Laguna Beach on Front Beach Road. While others around us may be quick to tear down and build larger Mansions, we prefer to keep the 1960s Coastal classic charm! Although the Sea-renity cottage is equipped with and has been updated throughout to modern day comforts and standards, you will find original 1965 charm everywhere you look.
