About this house rental
We're local to Panama City Beach and available 24/7 to make your stay on Catherine St effortless. The fastest way to reach us is right here through the app, message us anytime with questions, requests, or recommendations and we'll respond quickly. We love pointing guests to the bay (just a 2-minute walk away), the best 10-minute route to the beach, and family favorites like St. Andrews State Park, WonderWorks, and Zoo World. Need help firing up the propane grill, setting up the volleyball court, or finding where boats park in the gravel area? Just ask. We respect your privacy during your stay, but we're always one message away whenever you need us.
Tucked on the quiet, local-loved east end of Panama City Beach near Thomas Drive and the Grand Lagoon, this home puts calm bay water, legendary seafood, and sugar-white sand all within easy reach — no condo-canyon crowds. The bay is a 2-minute walk; the beach is about a 10-minute drive.
VISIT / DO: The east end is where St. Andrews State Park anchors the coast — one of Florida's most popular state parks. The protected lagoon behind the jetties is so calm that locals call it "the kiddie pool," making it ideal for families with little ones to swim, snorkel, and spot rays and tropical fish. From the park marina you can catch the Shell Island Ferry to a 7-mile undeveloped barrier island of white sand and clear water — perfect for shelling and dolphin sightings. Grand Lagoon marinas also run dolphin tours, snorkel trips, and pirate-ship cruises. Rainy day? WonderWorks, Ripley's Believe It or Not!, Zoo World, and Race City are all about 10 minutes away, with mini golf, go-karts, and arcades lining Thomas Drive.
EAT (family-friendly): This end of the beach keeps its local charm, with classic Gulf seafood and no-fuss favorites. Capt. Anderson's Restaurant has been a waterfront Grand Lagoon tradition since 1967 — dine early and watch the fishing fleet unload the catch. The Grand Marlin serves fresh seafood in a relaxed lagoon setting, Capt. Jack's Family Buffet is a local legend for crab legs, and Sharky's beachfront spot even has a pirate-ship playground in the sand. For breakfast or a casual bite, Liza's Kitchen, Jesse's Place, and FINNS Island Style Grub are beloved neighborhood picks.
SHOP: Grab beach gear, swimsuits, and souvenirs at Half Hitch Tackle and the shops along Thomas Drive, with Pier Park's open-air shopping and family dining a short drive west.
With the bay at your doorstep, America's best beach minutes away, and fresh seafood and family attractions all around, this is the perfect home base for a relaxed, memory-making beach trip.
You'll have this single-level, 4-bedroom home entirely to yourselves - no shared spaces, no stairs, and a private front door with a keypad smart lock for easy, keyless entry. Your personal entry code and lockbox details are sent privately shortly before arrival (never posted publicly for your security). Parking is a breeze: pull into the driveway or the spacious gravel area, which comfortably fits 6-7 vehicles or a boat up to 40 ft - perfect for bringing the whole crew or your gear. Just note the garage cannot be opened from the outside, so plan to enter through the front. Need WiFi? The router lives in the living room. Outdoor security cameras face the exterior for everyone's peace of mind. Questions on arrival day? We're a quick message away.

Please note: This home is bayside, not directly waterfront — the bay is a short 2-minute stroll away, and the beach is about a 10-minute drive.
A car is the way to go here—this east-end Panama City Beach home sits on a quiet bayside peninsula, so having wheels lets you reach the beach and attractions with ease. Parking is free and plentiful on the property: one driveway spot plus a gravel area that fits 6-7 cars, with room for a boat up to 40 ft. Please note there's no street parking, and the garage cannot be opened from the outside. Once you're settled, the bay is just a 2-minute walk away. From the home it's about a 10-minute drive to the sugar-white sand and St. Andrews State Park, and roughly 10 minutes to family favorites like WonderWorks, Ripley's Believe It or Not!, ZooWorld, and Race City. Grocery stores, restaurants, and Pier Park shopping are all a short drive. Looking to explore beyond PCB? Destin makes an easy and scenic day trip to another Gulf Coast beach town. Rideshare is available in the area but can be limited, so a rental car is strongly recommended to make the most of your stay.
