Vacation rentals with lake access in Florida Panhandle

Jerry and his wife were wonderful hosts. Probably some of the best hosts we have had. We were able to check in early (1pm!!) which was so helpful with a toddler and infant for nap time. We didn’t have the best weather, but it didn’t matter - the porch was GREAT to sit out on and not get rained on. This house is VERY walkable. We walked to the beach multiple times - it’s very close and a safe walk. The neighbors are very friendly and kind. They even let our toddler play with their outdoor toys when they weren’t in use. Very family friendly (kids playing soccer outside, etc). We had no issues with noise at night - it was very peaceful. Finally, the hosts were very responsive - we unfortunately had a medical emergency and they both answered on the first ring. They were very supportive and compassionate in helping us get the care we needed. Would visit again! Thanks again! If you have toddler - be sure to check out Destin Commons splash pad and Crab Trap for dinner!

We LOVE the Bungalow. Could not recommend it more to couples visiting 30A. We really enjoyed the outdoor space - morning, afternoon, and night. The inside was clean, comfortable, and had everything you need. Felicia is a great host!

We had a great stay. The house is nice and has beautiful views. I appreciate Kristie's willingness to accommodate our event. Thank you, Kristie!

Lovely and well-equipped accommodation just a stone’s throw away from fantastic springs. Loved being by the lake and hearing just the sounds of nature for a few nights. Definitely recommend :)

Great location to the beach, quiet neighborhood, great outdoor space, beautiful views of the lagoon, comfortable beds!

We had an amazing time at this home. So peaceful and relaxing. The home was clean, comfortable, and perfect. We felt cozy and right at home. It is a short distance to parks and town, and not far from Gulf Shores, where there’s so much to do. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning. It was a perfect stay.

Had a wonderful time. Location was perfect, close enough to everything but away from the main traffic allowing for a relaxing stay. The house was spotless, beautifully furnished, and the kitchen has everything you would want. No need to bring beach gear as there are beach towels, chairs, umbrella, wagon, toys & a small cooler. Would highly recommend this place to others.

The home was super clean & nice! Jane was very responsive. We felt right at home. The pond was an extra plus. The kids enjoyed fishing. Will be back again soon!

The place was very beautiful looked better in person than the pictures… lots of pots, pans, and plates for those cooking.. LOTs of beach toys, house was very comfortable, comfy bed and couches

Rick and Sylvia are great hosts and had everything we needed available. The pier and lake view was spectacular. We would definitely stay there again.

The place is exceptionally tidy and the host is reactive and quick to respond. All the basic amenities are provided along with few complementary dishwasher and laundry pods. 😊The home is very conveniently located to the beach like 5 mins walk to the outside of the resort and access to the beach right across the street. The premium outlets is around 7 mins drive. Overall, we had a very good experience.

Richard was extremely helpful and responsive. He was very nice and we had the best time on our little vacation. He gave us helpful tips for restaurants and fun things to do. The condo was so clean and lovely and home away from home. We throughly enjoyed our visit. We loved that we could walk to almost anywhere and walk the beach at night was so much fun.

I fully recommend Louis's place - close to great beaches, restaurants and other activities. Louis is really responsive to inquiries. The apartment is very comfortable and was great for a couple/ 2 people. I will try to get this place when I return again to Panama City/ Destin. Thanks Louis!

Lorna’s Airbnb was a peaceful retreat—serene and full of charm. We watched dolphins from the deck as the sun set over the water, creating the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway. The space was cozy, beautifully designed, and the shower was incredible. Lorna herself was wonderfully kind and incredibly responsive, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Bonnie’s place was an excellent choice, felt just like home, only a short 10 minutes walk to the beach, we would definitely stay at Bonnie’s again

We loved this Airbnb! Lee was a wonderful host. The location was perfect with the beach right across the street, the organic cafe next door, and other great beach towns in either direction. The condo was completely charming, spotless, and beautifully remodeled.

Absolutely a great stay. We had everything we needed. The house was well stocked for a weekend stay. We loved the screened in patio even tho it was very hot out, there was always a nice breeze and no nats. The lake and the neighborhood were nice extras.

We absolutely fell in love with this sweet cottage. Amongst the cookie cutter homes in the area this little place is reminiscent of old Florida. It had everything we needed. If you are looking for a quiet getaway, look no further. Connie is a great host and very easy to communicate with.

We decided to book a place close to Panama City Beach to vacation. The stay was at a great location by a fresh water lake and about 30 minutes from PCB. We were allowed an early check-in which was awesome to be able to spend the day longer. The laundry room is communion shared and there is room to park a 25 foot boat or greater I'll say. The only drawback is if you plan on cooking large home meals, the kitchenette is limited. Overall this was a good value and I feel will succeed for future occupants.

Spent a week here for a fishing trip. Steve greeted me with some fishing info while Sandra made sure everything was exactly what I needed. They gave full access to their boat doc and lift. Privacy is no issue here while you feel you can call for help or info at anytime. This is the place to be if you want easy access fishing. Or even just a calm relaxing time by the water. Step outside at night and listen to all the critters sing! These two have a great thing going.

This was a dream location and trip. Being so close to the beach. Yet on a quiet end was perfect for a family. The pool and dock created so many memories for our family.

It is a comfortable place with lovely furnishings/decor. Very peaceful and a great view of the lake.

This was my second stay at Sonya’s and it was wonderful!

Cassandra was amazing! She was quick to respond, helpful with suggestions, and just made us feel right at home and an extension of the family. The cottage was adorable, functional, and very easily accommodated our family of 4 plus pup. The location was perfectly located in proximity to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. The outdoor shower is a cool and functional addition to the house. 10/10 Definetly Recommend!
