Perfect location for a more laid back and less crowded experience. House was gorgeous and the private boardwalk to the beach was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again:)
Wonderful time our 2nd time staying here and as usual it was great. For future guests we bought beach chairs from Walmart had them delivered to house, and then just left them. 6 Chairs was the cost of one day rental. Just a thought. This house gives plenty of room for all, and love the 3 king beds!
We’ve been coming to this property for years and it never disappoints. The location and layout of the home are perfect for us and the beach is just steps away from the door which is a big plus. We’ve stayed at this property so many times, it feels like home.
We had 8 adults and 7 kids and this place was very comfortable for our group, very spacious and the ease of getting to the ocean and pool was great. The beach is not very busy in this location which was ideal for our group. It had everything you’d hope a beach house would have.
The house is amazing! So beautiful and cleanest place we have ever stayed. View is gorgeous! Plenty of room for the whole family. Beds were so great I fell asleep almost instantly. Love this house and would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful location on the beach. Even better in person than the pictures. House was amazing! Just grab your own bag of ice to use. Ice maker is slow but not a big deal at all. Our group had plenty of room and the views were beautiful. Saw dolphins swimming in the ocean.
This place was far beyond my expectation! Modern & clean. The location was perfect and the views were so beautiful. Close to the grocery store. We are a family of 15, so a 2nd refrigerator would have been helpful but might not be necessary for all who stay here. Also, we have a grandson with special needs so a gate would have helped at the deck. He was a little escape artist and loves the ocean! I would definitely rent this place again!
7 ladies celebrating turning the big 6-0! We enjoyed this house so much! Beautiful decor, spacious living area and very large dining table to accommodate a larger crowd. A huge plus is the bedrooms all had their own bathrooms. Maybe 1 was a shared. Easy access to be beach, and perfect gulf view! Shopping and grocery very close! Patio is also spacious with upper balcony and 2 masters is definitely a hit! The back door locks are a little tricky and not user friendly but the owners responded immediately late evening to help trouble shoot. Then sent maintenance out the next day! All in all it was great and we will be back!
Gorgeous home. Beautiful interior and furnishings. Great location on PCB West - right on the beach with a close community pool. Near 30A without the hassle, traffic, beach rules. Clean and well stocked - We had a multi-family vacation here and had everything we needed. Kitchen had necessities to gadgets. Couldn’t have asked for a better home for our family vacation. I was a hero for booking this spot. Would definitely book again. We also had shrimp boil from Squidlys that was great. Light-me-up bonfire that was a trip highlight.
A wonderful location for a relaxing week with three generations.
I can not say enough about this beautiful beach front home and the host was extremely helpful. It was stocked with every thing we needed, had plenty of space and beautifully decorated. We would gladly return in the future.
Perfect Beach Getaway for the Whole Family!We recently stayed at this beautiful beach house and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our group ranged in age from 4 to 74, and the home had something for everyone.The house is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and immaculately clean. There was more than enough room for everyone to relax and enjoy their own space, yet plenty of common areas for meals, games, and quality family time. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made cooking for a large group easy, and we loved having our morning coffee with an ocean view.The proximity to the beach was a huge plus—just steps away, which made it super convenient for the kids and easy for the older adults to join without too much walking. The sunsets were absolutely stunning, and the sound of the waves made every evening feel magical.From beach chairs and toys to comfortable beds and outdoor seating, the house was well-equipped for a stress-free vacation. Everyone in our family had a great time, and we made memories we’ll cherish forever.Highly recommend this rental for any family or group looking for a relaxing, beachside escape!
This is the BEST vacation stay I've ever had or can even imagine! The ArtHouse is a true work of art for starters, really a beautiful creation. Additionally, Wendy and David are the bests hosts EVER. Every convenience is available down to toothpick brushes and Kleenex, charging hub and cords to anything and everything. The decor is absolutely incredible and so creative and interesting. We'd have had to stay for a very long time before we quit discovering great new things to see and enjoy. We all thoroughly enjoyed the beds, which were better than ours at home. Every single need was met, and then there's my very favorite, the SHOWER from heaven. I can no longer say that my shower at home is the best. This was the best family vacation we've ever had, and the icing on top was finding out that I'm to be a great-grandmother!
House is beautiful. Beach access is great. Location is very good. We stayed here summer of 2019 and again this year so you know we love this place. We had a minor issue with freezer and ac, but was addressed immediatley. THere is one suggestion. There was not enough towels for numer of people that this house sleeps. We just washed everyday. Also the bed linens were very worn and some of them stained.I really focus on clean sheets and the appearnance also, so this could use some attention.
From the moment we walked into this house we have dealt with problem after problem.
1. House was disgustingly dirty. We spent over 2 hours cleaning. Food, plates, trash, dirt, sand ,dust under tables and all furniture. The pull out sofa must have never been cleaned. Still had old food folded up In it. The main rug in the living room was completely full of sand. We have videos of all this. All the furniture was covered in food and sand.
2. Black mold all over the place. All over vents in the ceilings and around water heater door upstairs. Completely disgusting. We have been breathing this all week. Mold in all 4 showers.
3. The air handler room upstairs is cover in inches of disgusting dirt and dust. Looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in years. I have plenty of pictures and videos
4. The upstairs has not gotten below 80 the entire trip. It’s been miserable trying to sleep. We’ve had to go buy fans just to try to keep everybody somewhat cool down. Having only one return for the entire house is absolutely ridiculous!!! There’s no way this house will ever cool off like this.
5. 2 old disgusting towels per bathroom???? Really
6. Bugs bugs bugs. We have been attacked by bugs in the house all week. Bugs in the beds, in the bathrooms , crawling on the walls, and tonight was the final straw. The downstairs bathroom is completely infested with flying ants.
7. This house deserves less than one star. I cannot believe you have reviews like you do, they have got to be fabricated
8. Spent 45 min cleaning sand off the rear decks and rinsing off all furniture. Had not been touched from last guest.
9. Dryer takes forever to dry clothes because the vent going outside is completely full of lint and needs to be cleaned out.
10. Furniture is dirty with stains and dirt. Just gross to even sit on.
11. We haven’t been able to cook any meals ( not 1 meal) because the house is soooo stinking hot we don’t want to add any heat to it.
12. This has been just horrible!!
We've come to the PCB area every other year for the past 10-11 years, and each time our family has grown, so we've had to find a new place to rent for the week. Big Chill 2 was the best of a long string of wonderful homes. It's one we'd love to return to in future years. We have 6 adults and 8 children, and everyone absolutely loved the accommodations. I loved the responsiveness and care of the owners. The large dining area, kitchen, and living room area was fabulous for meals, games, and conversation. The access to the beach, pool, and even tennis courts was very convenient. Feel comfortable to rent this place for your vacation, but just let us get into the rotation again in 2024.
First Family Vacation in a Long Time - It was fantastic!!!
My wife and I wanted to host a great vacation for our children and grandchildren as it was long overdue thanks to Covid. The location of this property is amazing. I grew up in Panama City and have stayed pretty much everywhere when we come back to the beach and this is by far the best location we have experienced. We loved the house as it had plenty of room for 6 adults and 5 children. It is perfect for a large family. We had a couple of issues early on but Karen was very responsive to our needs and they were resolved to our satisfaction. Our family built lots of great memories on this trip and I would highly recommend this property!!!
