1 Block to the Beach, Private POOL and FREE 6-Person golf cart!!

Sandpiper Cottage at Laguna Beach has everything you could dream of in a vacation rental home. Located at the quiet west end of Panama City Beach, this home is proof that location means everything. It is located 1 short block from the gorgeous emerald water and white sandy beaches of the gulf of Mexico. It is also just 3 miles from Pier Park & City Pier* (with unlimited shopping, dining, and entertainment options), 1 mile from the famous Thomas's Donuts, and 5 miles from Rosemary beach. You can experience everything 30A has to offer for a FRACTION of the cost of staying in Rosemary, Watercolor or Seaside. Plus, you can retreat to your quiet oasis after you have had your fill of the crowds. Sandpiper is a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with private pool. We even provide a 6 person GOLF CART at NO additional charge so you can zip down to the beach in seconds. Laguna Beach is golf cart friendly so you can take it down to Carousel Supermarket, or Thomas's. We provide beach towels, 4 beach chairs, a sun umbrella, and sand toys for the kids (or just those young at heart). Add FREE wifi internet, flat screen TV's in the living room & bedrooms and ample outdoor living space, and you have the perfect vacation experience. The west end of Panama City Beach is known for being quiet and less crowded while still being close to it all. Come see why this are brings people back year after year.


During the periods of March-May and Oct-Dec, you can choose to have the pool heater turned on and set to 85 degrees for a fee of $15/day. The heat pump will keep the pool at this temp during the day as long as average day and night air temps remain at 65 degrees or above. If the average day+night temp is below 65 we will not be able to run the heater.

Wonderful Property

The house was exactly how it was described, clean and all the amenities we needed. Location was ideal for everything, beach, food, etc. The golf cart and pool were awesome to have! We paid to have pool heated (April), totally worth it. Family of 5 stayed, we would definitely come back again!

Exceptional location for a week at the beach!

This house is exceptional in its location and amenities! The golf cart made it a less than 2 minute trip to the beach. The beach was not crowded and allowed us some quieter mornings by the ocean. The pool was a perfect size, well maintained, and a welcome respite in the afternoon. The main living area was comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy breakfasts and evenings we stayed in. Would stay here again and definitely recommend our hosts who were quick to respond and helpful throughout the stay!

Perfect Fall Break

This was our first time staying at Panama City Beach, and this home did not disappoint. Plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids ages 1-12. The location was perfect. It was just a quick walk to the beach and away from high rises so the beach was never crowded. The 6 seater golf cart was a huge perk. We used it every day. The heated pool was a game changer. The temps dipped down during our stay and having the heated pool kept the kids entertained for hours. We especially liked the splash pad area on the shallow end for our toddler. It allowed her to play in the pool without having to be held the whole time. The kids also enjoyed the Wii console and games. We can't say enough good things about our host. She was so responsive when we had questions or needed something. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back in the future!

PCB Getaway

Erica was an incredible host and her rental was perfect for our needs. Our family enjoyed the pool and beautifully landscaped back yard which had plenty of seating. The golf cart offered plenty of room for rides to The Carousel and Thomas Donuts! The home has plenty of thoughtful touches that make you feel right at home and so comfortable & relaxed. The location is 1 block off of Front Beach Rd and has easy beach access. I highly recommend this home and would 109% return!

Wonderful, Relaxing Vacation

What a wonderful stay!! House was in a great location, easy to walk to the beach (or use the golf cart) and the pool was fabulous! Owner is easy to work with and communicated well. This was a much needed relaxing vacation after moving our youngest son off to college (First Empty Nestor's Trip Lol). Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, full size drip coffee maker, plenty of towels in the bathrooms, beach towels available, beach chairs and umbrella available. We LOVED the pool - that was our favorite part! Easy to walk right out the back door and get into the pool with plenty of lounge chairs and sitting chairs. The grill was a nice touch since my husband grills most evenings. You will love this beautiful rental home and the quiet yet convenient location.

Great for Relaxing

We had a wonderful stay in the Sandpiper Cottage. (Our group included my hubby and I as well as our two college aged kids). There was plenty of space for everyone in the home. The kitchen was big enough for several of us to be in there preparing food at one time and there was plenty of space for dining as well. The kitchen had all the dish ware, pots, pans and utensils that we needed. The living room bedrooms were well furnished and the beds were very comfy. The house was very clean! I am extremely picky about cleanliness and am uncomfortable if a home we stay at is not as clean as I would like it to be. No issues with that here! The pool was wonderful! We used it a lot the week we were there because it was a red flag or double red flag in the gulf every day of our stay. The lights were great for night time swimming! The grill was nice to have available-we cooked a couple of meals on it. The golf cart made getting to the beach so very easy! We would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay on the quieter end of PCB.

Very Accomodating

Nice little beach house. Loved the pool, we had it heated in October, as some days were a little chilly. Golf cart and proximity to the uncrowded beach are outstanding. The owners are very kind to provide most everything you might need for the stay. It was wonderful in this way. The owners were accommodating for a special request for an extra charge. We tried to leave this home better than we found it. This trip was for mom, dad, kids (8 and 10), along with grandparents, All loved this area. Close to donuts in the morning, quaint neighborhood grocery store in the afternoon and ice cream in the evening. Sleepy, quiet little community just far enough to make a short visit to busy PCB area and then back to retreat. The only thing I might recommend based upon personal preference is a new mattress for the primary; it drops off on one side as if someone bigger has spent a lot of time sitting on the side of the bed. My wife said her side was fine.). I would still very much recommend this property.
