Two blocks to the beach! Bikes included!
We loved our stay here! Lindsey was super responsive with any questions I messaged her both before and during the trip. The area is STUNNING and we loved having the bikes available. We ended up doing three bike rides to get ice cream and go all over the residential area and up the scenic beach sidewalk. There was a wasp hanging out at the front gate and they handled it within an hour for us! There was an RV parked in the driveway so our parking was mostly uncovered but she did let us know to tell her if we needed more room. We didn’t mind the car being uncovered for the week. The only thing I would note is the beds are very firm so it’s something to get used to. Overall a great stay!

Safe Harbor Cottage on Santa Rosa Sound - Pets ok!
These are some of the best hosts we have ever had! From the moment we arrived with a tire issue, Steve was immediately friendly and helpful with multiple local repair shops to try and suit our needs. In the following days he had lots of local restaurants, dive locations and dog park recs. Their place has all the necessities you'd need on your vacation. The kitchen allowed us to cook breakfast, and prepare leftovers any day we needed. All other rooms were stocked, clean and well kept. The dogs loved to fetch n cool off in the Sound on their frequent swims. Lush foliage was a surprise as it contributed to wildlife, birds and shady temps! It is definitely the place to privately slow down, sit back an watch the sun rise on the dock as boats travel by slow and unbusily. Topping it all off was the spacious porch/yard with water hose. It spoiled us as we are usually unable to fully rinse and dry out all of our dive gear before returning home. Come and visit their oasis, you won't regret it!!

Beach Condo Overlooking Gulf of Mexico + Balcony!
We had a great stay at Lynn and Keith's condo! Perfect for our family vacation. We felt right at home and you cannot beat the location.

Free Golf & Activities - Bleau Getaway w/ Balcony!
Next time we are down, 100% will stay again! I love how it was little private and not too busy by the beach/area. The place was cute and had everything we need! Was definitely a cozy place

Heated Pool, Gazebo & Fire Pit. 3 Miles to Beach!
This home was so comfortable for me and my family! Basic essentials were available, very clean, and plenty of space for everyone to have a great time. Great place to make some memories!

Storybook Castle BnB
After choosing Fairhope as our mini vacation destination, we wanted to find a unique and creative place to stay. Pagan and Dean have definitely created a gem of an experience with their Storybook Cottage. Wonderful location and as hosts they are top tier! Loved the bay window, stained glass and king sized bed! Exceptional communication and just loved our time there.

Upscale Beachfront Studio! Beach Service Included!
We had the most amazing time at this condo — it was truly the perfect couple’s getaway! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the space itself was cozy, clean, and beautifully maintained. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making it feel like a true escape. Alex was incredible to work with. From the moment we booked, he made everything so easy and stress-free. Clear communication, thoughtful touches, and such a welcoming vibe — it honestly felt like we were staying at a friend’s place. We loved every moment of our stay and already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful, romantic retreat!

Good times & tan lines! Only 5 miles to the beach!
This is our 3rd stay at Juan’s place, and 10/10 always a 5 star review!! Plenty of space, clean, always responsive to any questions we have. The kids love the back porch area and swimming pool, the pups love the yard! All the beach amenities you can imagine in the garage. Wonderful place, with matching hosts!
Your guide to Florida Panhandle
Welcome to the Florida Panhandle
Known for its fine white sand beaches and turquoise water, the Florida Panhandle is the slim stretch of land that runs west from the rest of the state between Alabama and the Gulf of Mexico. It has a long and complicated history involving colonial powers and multiple wars, and unlike the glamorous resorts on the state’s southern coast, the beach culture here offers a much wider variety. If you’re into the laid-back beach vibe, there are loads of options that will lead you to a private stretch of sand. If nightlife is what you’re after, the Panhandle can deliver action-packed evenings — it’s a magnet for Spring Breakers in the Southern states and beyond. The clear, calm Gulf waters play host to some of the best fishing and diving experiences on the continent, and the rare east-west orientation of the beaches means you’ll get views of both sunrise and sunset. And in the event you’re not here to do the shore thing, the Panhandle has pockets of fascinating history hidden among the dune-lined coastal towns.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Florida Panhandle
The Florida Panhandle is a prime summer vacation spot. The hot and humid weather becomes more tolerable the closer you are to the water. But with more than 320 days of sunshine each year, the weather stays warm well into the fall, bringing in late-season sunseekers to join the fun. Just be sure to stay current on weather alerts in late summer when the hurricane season peaks, as the Panhandle is highly susceptible to the Gulf Coast’s biggest storms. Winter welcomes much colder temperatures on the Panhandle than the further reaches of the state, so it tends to be a quieter season. But by spring, the warmth returns and many Panhandle beaches, like Panama City, are up and running with a full lineup of Spring Break festivities.
Top things to do in Florida Panhandle
St. George Island
This barrier island off the Forgotten Coast portion of the Panhandle embodies the best features of the area, with sugary white-sand beaches and clear waters ideal for swimming, fishing, and paddling. The marshy state park, anchored by a historic lighthouse, provides ample space for bird-watching, hiking in the forests, ambling along the dunes, and keeping an eye out for sea turtles.
Scenic Route 30A
It’s worth going out of your way for this scenic highway that runs about 18 miles — a few more with connecting roads — between the sandy shores and high dunes of the Panhandle. From Panama City Beach to Sandestin, you’ll pass rare coastal dune lakes, a torrent of colorful architecture, and historic sites that line the road, which also connects to state parks and a series of greenways and trails for walking or biking.
Fort Pickens
Part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, Fort Pickens was built in 1834 to help shore up and defend Pensacola Bay. Today, the fearsome-looking brick structure anchors a park on Santa Rosa Island. Tour the maze-like tunnel system and artillery rooms before stopping by the museum for a ranger-led history talk. Save time to explore the park’s trails, popular with local bird-watchers.
