Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bay County

The home was exactly described. Very well appointed with nice attention to detail. The host was extremely responsive and addressed any concerns we may have had. Great Place and Great Host!

Home was super cozy and had all that we needed to have a nice stay. Thank you!

Phenomenal place. Had its own pool. Literally steps away from the beach. Plenty of space for the whole family. Bedrooms were comfortable. Extremely clean. Carol was so nice to work with & communicated quickly & effectively. We had the best stay. We had 6 adults and one child with us. We will definitely be back to Carol’s place!

We have been traveling with friends to the Seabreeze Jazz Festival in PCB for five years. The first year we stayed on the 18th floor of a high-rise condo on the beach. At the end of our stay, we decided that did not suit us and we looked for a home to rent. We lucked out and found the Grey Narwhal which is where we stayed the following year. This year (2025) was our fourth consecutive year staying there and we are already booked for next April. The house is exactly as described. It is very comfortable with a kitchen full of all the amenities that we need. Everything in the house is good to excellent quality from the crockery in the kitchen to the bed linens and towels. There’s also some interesting reading material; if you choose to stay at the Grey Narwhal, look for the Ladybird books for adults on the shelf above the couch. Great reading! Paul and Janet are extremely responsive and friendly hosts and have given us great recommendations in the past. Looking forward to 26!

We LOVED our stay in this cute home. Everything was clean and cozy. We especially loved the screened in porch which allowed us to take a break from the sun and rest outside. The house was stocked with everything we needed- we were so thankful for the beach gear and wagon! Would love to come here again.

Kelly and Sandy’s place was great! It’s just a few minutes from the beach. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The house is just like the pictures. Lots of things to do in the area. They were quick to respond with any questions we had. They also live close by, so if you need them, they’re just minutes away to help! Overall, it was a great place. I highly recommend. And will definitely come back!

Chandra’s place was just as described. Very nicely decorated and clean. We had plenty of room for 5 adults and we had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was very short and convenient. We plan to visit again.

Tiffany is so lovely and her home is too! Great place to go to be close to the public beach as well as other spots on 30A! Went with 6 other girlfriends and staying here made our weekend trip complete!

Very nice place right on the beach. Me and my family had a great time and loved our stay. Would definitely come back to stay again. Also David was very responsive and helpful.

Randi was a welcoming and friendly host. The apt is quiet & private- a great retreat! Comfy bed, clean bathroom, and ample kitchen to prep meals but also close to lots of restaurants. Very nice!

Gave very detailed instructions and made sure I understood everything. The owner also was very responsive and answered every question I had and made sure we had everything we needed. The room was very clean and looked just like the pictures and felt like we was at home. Would definitely rent again

We just finished up a couple of days at Chuck's Pelican's Nest. it is a cute studio apartment overlooking a Bayou close to where we needed to be. We like the old Panama City better than the beach (too crowded, too much traffic), so we were very happy with our location. St Andrew's was close by and we went to a couple of decent restaurants there on the bay. Chuck couldn't have been more helpful and we just wished the weather had cooperated a bit more than it did. We missed having a cocktail on his dock in front of the apartment! Thanks for letting us stay, Chuck!

We had the best stay! First, Mark reached out about changing our Airbnb to another one of his locations since the first location had construction going on next door, which was so thoughtful since we have kids. The place looks just like the pictures and it was very clean. On top of all of that being literally 30 seconds from the beach, you can see schooners from the front door, and you have your own pool! We had a blast and Mark was the best! We will definitely be back to stay at another one of his locations!

This place is in perfect spot by the beach. It is walking distance from the beach and a local coffee shop. This place also is perfect due to the access to laundry and has a full kitchen. I would recommend this place 100 percent.

Pretty much was as expected only thing was the two beds are in the same room. Wasn’t thrilled about that but that was probably my misunderstanding and we made it work. Everything we needed was there. Great stay.

Great location for a great price!

literally my only issue is there were no blankets for my kids to use when sleeping on the sofa bed but everything else was perfect!

I loved the private access to the beach and i was very pleased that there were chairs and other activities that were provided in the condo for us to take to the beach. Two adults and two teenagers slept comfortably, and the washer and dryer came in handy. I would stay again for sure!

What a great place !!! My family and I had a wonderful time staying at Marina’s place this Easter. We enjoyed beautiful views from balcony every morning. We used the pool every evening and enjoyed comfortable apartment that she has to offer. Beach and color of the water is just stunning. The building stuff is very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed every hour there and our kids didn’t want to go back home. We definitely come back next year. Thank you Marina🙂

Perfect setting for my twin’s 16th Birthday! Very easy check in. We had an early flight and very little sleep the night before so when we arrived early the cleaning crew told us to go ahead in as soon as they were done. We had planned on lunch and a beach walk but it was so nice to get a quick Power Nap in before heading out. So many conveniences that were greatly appreciated; different size baggies, some spices, a sewing kit (which came in handy), spf and solarcaine, ironing board, and many more! It’s a quick walk to the beach and it was perfect white sugar sand! Absolutely Perfect! Thank you Kim Marie for your hospitality 🩷

I’ve stayed at several condos on this property but Caty’s was one of a kind! I feel like the pictures online don’t do the condo justice. I loved the decor and felt very at home there. I was literally blown away with all of the different things she had for her guests to use. Board games, beach chairs, wagon, sand toys, beach towels, coupons for local restaurants, lots of extras in the kitchen and even several extra throw blankets for those of us who stay cold 🥶 We all felt right at home and I couldn’t be more grateful for the generosity she showed to our family. We will definitely be back! Thank you 😊

Mimi's condo was perfect for our family of four with two teen boys. The condo was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, the view was gorgeous, everything was perfect. Mimi responded immediately when I had any questions and provided amenities like beach chairs, beach umbrella, etc. My family loved the condo 🤍

Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Looking forward to returning soon.

Chris was a wonderful host who always responded in such a timely manner! He made sure me and my friends had everything we needed and we hope to stay here again!
