One of the best places we’ve stayed at in a very long time. Tim and Beth responded to any message I sent. Such a beautiful place. Our baby girl’s first beach trip was one I’ll never forget. Thank you Tim and Beth for opening your condo to us. We will be back.

JacobRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed staying here! The location was great…a quick walk to the beach and also to Thomas’. Every night we enjoyed walking to get ice cream. Trevor’s place had a well stocked kitchen and the beds were comfy. We loved walking to the beach and coming back for a cool dip in the pool.

Storybook Castle BnB

DeborahPerryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We adored staying at the castles! All the touches (we loved the robes!), magical decor, and superior surroundings made our stay so special. Pagan gave lots and lots of information to really help us and make our visit so easy. We loved walking very easily to great shops and restaurants. Fairhope is a lovely place to visit, but staying at the castles made it the absolute best. We love the whimsical fantasy world. it made us feel as if we could be somewhere else entirely!

Beachfront Townhouse near Cape San Blas

CambriaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Tighe and Debbie’s place is one I’ve always loved. It’s tucked away in a peaceful spot—quiet and relaxing, yet conveniently close to things to do. Their home truly feels like a home away from home. I’ve returned here multiple times, and it’s always a pleasure. Tighe and Debbie are consistently helpful and kind, and I’m deeply grateful that they share their little oasis.

Free Beach Chair/Umbrella Service! Long Beach Reso

KaylaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a wonderful stay at this cute beach chic condo! It was absolutely perfect for our little family. The location right on the beach was fantastic, and the views were just great – we loved waking up to the sound of the waves. The condo itself was stylish and comfortable, with a really lovely beachy vibe. The only minor issue we encountered was with the television in the master bedroom. Unfortunately, we weren't able to use it during our stay as it kept logging us out and displaying error messages. It would definitely be a nice improvement if this could be updated. Despite that small inconvenience, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely recommend this condo to other small families looking for a relaxing beach getaway. We hope to be back again in the future!

My husband and I had a great time in Destin and this unit was perfect for what we needed! We loved that the balcony gets shade most of the day so we could sit out there and not be burning up. We loved how many restaurants and activities there were to do around the area. Very communicative and checked in on us when we arrived. Definitely recommend!

Safe Harbor Cottage on Santa Rosa Sound - Pets ok!

The cottage was exactly what I needed for a short get away. The waterfront view was absolutely amazing. Steve and Tara are very welcoming and kind! They also have some sweet pups walking around. My aussie was sad to leave one of his friends he made! The location is perfectly far away from all of the crowds, but a short drive to multiple beautiful beaches.

Juju’s came highly recommended to me by two couples I am close friends with, and it did NOT disappoint! I had the most peaceful, relaxing time enjoying the beauty of the land, and all of the amazing seating the house had to offer while I was reading the books I brought. It was such a relaxing time, and I never wanted to leave. The house has such a sweet history and I appreciate that Matt + family are willing to share it with everyone. I’ll definitely be back!

Your guide to Florida Panhandle

Welcome to the Florida Panhandle

Known for its fine white sand beaches and turquoise water, the Florida Panhandle is the slim stretch of land that runs west from the rest of the state between Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico. It has a long and complicated history involving colonial powers and multiple wars, and unlike the glamorous resorts on the state’s southern coast, the beach culture here offers a much wider variety. If you’re into the laid-back beach vibe, there are loads of options that will lead you to a private stretch of sand. If nightlife is what you’re after, the Panhandle can deliver action-packed evenings — it’s a magnet for Spring Breakers in the Southern states and beyond. The clear, calm Gulf waters play host to some of the best fishing and diving experiences on the continent, and the rare east-west orientation of the beaches means you’ll get views of both sunrise and sunset. And in the event you’re not here to do the shore thing, the Panhandle has pockets of fascinating history hidden among the dune-lined coastal towns.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Florida Panhandle

The Florida Panhandle is a prime summer vacation spot. The hot and humid weather becomes more tolerable the closer you are to the water. But with more than 320 days of sunshine each year, the weather stays warm well into the fall, bringing in late-season sunseekers to join the fun. Just be sure to stay current on weather alerts in late summer when the hurricane season peaks, as the Panhandle is highly susceptible to the Gulf Coast’s biggest storms. Winter welcomes much colder temperatures on the Panhandle than the further reaches of the state, so it tends to be a quieter season. But by spring, the warmth returns and many Panhandle beaches, like Panama City, are up and running with a full lineup of Spring Break festivities.


Top things to do in Florida Panhandle

St. George Island

This barrier island off the Forgotten Coast portion of the Panhandle embodies the best features of the area, with sugary white-sand beaches and clear waters ideal for swimming, fishing, and paddling. The marshy state park, anchored by a historic lighthouse, provides ample space for bird-watching, hiking in the forests, ambling along the dunes, and keeping an eye out for sea turtles.

Scenic Route 30A

It’s worth going out of your way for this scenic highway that runs about 18 miles — a few more with connecting roads — between the sandy shores and high dunes of the Panhandle. From Panama City Beach to Sandestin, you’ll pass rare coastal dune lakes, a torrent of colorful architecture, and historic sites that line the road, which also connects to state parks and a series of greenways and trails for walking or biking.

Fort Pickens

Part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, Fort Pickens was built in 1834 to help shore up and defend Pensacola Bay. Today, the fearsome-looking brick structure anchors a park on Santa Rosa Island. Tour the maze-like tunnel system and artillery rooms before stopping by the museum for a ranger-led history talk. Save time to explore the park’s trails, popular with local bird-watchers.
