Panama City Beach, Florida
Panama City Beach, Florida
Chasing Rays is a condo right on the sand, with resort pools downstairs and the Gulf off the balcony. The Lyndell Retreat is a new house a short walk from the beach, with its own pool and a putting green.
St. Andrews State Park and the boats out to Shell Island are a few minutes from both, and Pier Park has the shops and restaurants for an evening off the sand.
Every one is stocked before you arrive and looked after by people who know it. Book direct on each home's page.
Stay out for the sunset. Dinner can wait.
March to May
Long days on the water: kayaks and paddleboards on the calm lagoon, and the snorkel trips out to Shell Island.
June to August
The busy season. Sea turtles nest on these beaches from May through October, so lights stay low at night and gear comes off the sand each evening.
September to November
Quieter weeks after the summer rush. Hurricane season runs through the end of November.
December to February
The Grand Lagoon Waterfront Farmers Market runs all year, Pier Park stays open, and Chasing Rays has a fireplace for the cooler evenings.
A few of the things we send guests to first. Ask us for the rest when you book.
A ferry ride to an undeveloped barrier island, with snorkeling if you want it. There are no shops on the island, so bring water and shade.
Rock jetties with clear water and tropical fish, an easy first snorkel for kids and beginners.
Narrated boat tours along the coast that often spot dolphins, and parasail rides over St. Andrews Bay with Shell Island below.
Rentals on a calm, protected lagoon, a gentler start than the open Gulf.
An open-air center with more than 120 stores, plus restaurants and the Ron Jon surf shop on the boardwalk.
A walkable waterfront neighborhood with antique shops, boutiques and galleries, and the Amavida coffee house in a historic building.
The M.B. Miller County Pier for an easy morning, or a headboat or private charter out of Capt. Anderson's Marina.
Buddy's Seafood Market sells fresh Gulf catch, and Local Steamer does steamed platters to take home.
Northwest Florida Beaches International is the closest airport, about 30 to 40 minutes from our homes.
Chasing Rays is on the sand, with direct beach access from the resort. The Lyndell Retreat is about a six-minute walk to the beach access at the county pier.

Yes. Chasing Rays has three resort pools and a hot tub downstairs. The Lyndell Retreat has its own pool and hot tub.
