Chris fell in love with the beautiful beach and white sands of Panama City Beach area ever since he was stationed near the area in Pensacola, Florida while in the military. We began our search for a beach condo in several areas in Florida to include Miami, West Palm Beach, and Clearwater but continued to come back to Panama City because we felt there isn't a better breath taking beach than Panama City Beach. The feel of the sugary white sands on your feet, while enjoying the view and sound of the waves of the pristine emerald green waters is something that can only be found in the Caribbean or the beaches of Hawaii. To have the stunning views of the gulf right through the windows of your family room and kitchen with the ability to feel the breeze from the gulf and sound of the waves right outside on your deck is indescribable. We wanted something that didn't feel like a hotel with all the noise and crowds, but still convenience of being close and within walking distance to shopping, entertainment, and dining while on vacation. This cottage in Summertowne was exactly what we were looking for - a lovely home with breathtaking gulf views, our own private attached garage, and walking distance to all the entertainment and dining you could ask for on vacation. Our cottage is located less than 1500 feet from the entrance of Panama City's premier attraction - Pier park, steps away from the beach, and across the street from Russell-Fields pier, a pier which extends 1500 feet into beautiful gulf which is known for exceptional deep sea fishing. We found this cottage and it's surroundings to be a complete escape in paradise :)
