We had an amazing stay at Surfside Retreat! The home is absolutely beautiful! Everything looked exactly like the photos. Squeaky clean and filled with everything you need for a perfect stay on the beach! We loved sitting on the top deck and watching the waves roll in. The home is on a quiet little strip and is close to everything we wanted to do! Patrick was super proactive with recommendations and check-in/out instructions. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a beachfront stay!

We rented this home for a family reunion and it did not disappoint. The home was very comfortable and spacious. The biggest dining room table I have ever seen! Great for big dinners. All of the bedrooms were spaced for privacy. The house was right on the beach. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. Definitely would rent again!

The location on the beach was ideal for our older parents to be able to walk down to the beach. The living/kitchen room space was amazing. Loves that every bedroom had its own bath. Great fresh seafood takeout place 2 blocks away and a nice pub 2 block away. Several very nice restaurants within 5-10 minute drive.

Surfside Retreat is everything you want in a beach house. Clean, lots of space, right on the beach, and even a game room. each bedroom had its own bathroom which was great for my adult family trip. Patrick communicated well, and check in was super easy.

We had an awesome time with our whole family, our 4 grown kids and their families. The house was spacious enough, loved the game room, lots of room on the deck. There were tons of sand toys, boogie boards, umbrellas and wagon. We did bring our own sun shade from home. Was great to have some baby stuff there. Would have liked to have extra bath towels. Kitchen was stocked with most everything we needed, would have liked a crockpot. But all in all is was a great place to stay!

My family and I had the most incredible stay at Patricks beachfront property in Panama City. The home was exactly as it was listed and more! Something that is hard to find are large airbnbs for families is that many king size bedrooms with en suite bathrooms and we were so thrilled to find that each of our couples could have the privacy of their own bathroom. The view, and ease of being right on the beach made the experience that much more enjoyable. The kitchen was equipped to facilitate all our large family dinners and there were even beach toys for our baby along with other leftover floats and boogie boards. We look forward to making this a once a year memory and to many more stays at this house! What a special place, would highly recommend!

Amazing space that looks even bigger in person. Great having a beach tent, numerous beach chairs and beach toys with only steps from the water. The kitchen was also fully equipped and even had an ice machine. There were also plenty of disposable supplies such as trash bags, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher liquid, etc…Our family of seven highly recommends this beach house and will be booking again in the future.

Jenny Long
July 2023
Our family really really loved our stay! The house was just as described and being just a few steps to the water's edge was priceless. The bedrooms were set up to give everyone privacy and the kitchen and living area were beautiful and spacious. The extra refrigerator and the ice maker were thoughtful and much used additions to the kitchen. With many beach lovers (and cooks) in our family, most of us barely left the house! There were many beach chairs and wagons full of sand toys. We would set up on the beach just once a day early in the morning and we could see and monitor our things during meals on the balcony. We all loved the views of the water and the sunsets were spectacular. Patrick was a great host and communication was easy. We all agreed this is definitely a house we would love to return to in the future. We have nothing but wonderful memories!

This home was the perfect place to accommodate a large family, the huge kitchen, spacious living room, multiple bedrooms and the outside living space made it easy for everyone to enjoy and vacation in their own way. We really enjoyed our time here and look forward to coming back soon.

This is our third friend trip (with kids) to Florida over Spring Break, with being our first time to Panama City. The house was remodeled, clean and beautiful. The kitchen was so spacious for 13 of us! The house had everything we needed! The first aid kit came in handy when someone got sand in their eye. The beach was so pretty every morning and we saw a ton of dolphins! Our stay exceeded our expectations!

Great location - Right on the beach! With 8 adults and 2 kids this whole house rental was ideal. It was well equipped with 10 beach chairs, 2 wagons, 2 umbrellas, 5 boogie boards and plenty of sand toys. The kitchen was beautiful - an extra fridge for drinks plus an ice maker was great. We will definitely want to stay here again next year.

Checking in and out was super easy with clear instructions. The house was clean and had convenient amenities like an ice maker and 2 sets of washer/dryer. The furniture and beds were clean and comfy. The decks were perfect for grilling and having morning coffee while watching the ocean. One morning we were able to watch a pod of dolphins for about 20 minutes! We were also able to bring our dogs with us instead of boarding them. The only issues were that there were huge flies that kept making their way into the lower floor somehow and there was a bad smell in the hallway right outside the bathroom in the lower floor.

The home was perfect for our family reunion. There is a large kitchen and family room area to gather. Everyone had their own bathroom which was nice. Very roomy. The beach is very close which we enjoyed.

Where do I start...From the check-in to check-out, everything was so perfect. The host was very responsive and sent clear instructions for the check-in process and check-out process. The house was kept extremely clean and all our family members had great time. They have all the beach toys, beach chairs etc providing a perfect vacation setting on the beach. I would highly recommend this place and would come back and stay here again. The host even went of his way to ship us a forgotten car keys after check-out. We can't Thank him enough and this stay left us with lots and lots of memories.

This is an incredible house with so much space. We all were so comfortable and the open floor main area was perfect. The house was stocked with much more than expected.. The beach is steps outside, ideal for kids, and is a quiet, private beach. Couldn’t have chosen a better location and home to spend our family vacation. 10/10… we’re so thankful!
