Simply Perfect!

This house is huge with a big fenced in backyard and very quiet location! The beach is 3 minute drive or a 20 minute walk, but very private, clean with a big fire pit and chairs to use! The house has everything and again, is huge! I don't know how many bedrooms there were, but each one had a big bed with nice fresh linens! Can't say enough about this place! Oh, the town is great too with friendly people and lots of hiking trails!

Fun Friends Getaway

Beautiful spacious property! We were a group of six adults (three couples) and found the place to be so comfortable we stayed in every night! Easy drive to beaches and local restaurants too. Love the Forgotten Coast!

Great place to rest and relax

Not much to do in Panacea and not much of a beach, but it was actually what we expected. We had no problem finding beaches with a little driving. The accommodations were excellent and unique. The kids had a marvelous time on the swing and I enjoyed the reading nook. My husband found places to “wet a line” even though seas were too rough to go out on the boat. It is a golf cart community so that came in handy getting around. All in all, it was a great experience and we are so grateful for it.

Great getaway for family time

The property is beautiful and peaceful. Large enough for family to spread out. Nice place to unplug and reconnect with family. The large yard is a huge plus for parking and boats. Boat ramp just down the road.

The Panacea Angler Lodge

We enjoyed a memorable experience! The host Debbie was incredible in terms of attentiveness, flexibility and overall hospitality! As tournament anglers, we arrived at the property to find a pole barn style parking location for all 4 of our boats with power and water. The log cabin has a great full kitchen with an awesome bar filled with seating and an awesome den and dining room. The bedrooms were top notch! I highly recommend this property and this will be our Panacea "Go-To" place to stay! Thank you for everything Debbie!

Great stay at Cabin By the Bay

My family had a great stay at Cabin by the Bay over Thanksgiving. It was a well appointed and equipped house just a stones throw from Mashes Sands beach in Panacea, it was a perfect get-away for a quiet retreat over the holiday.

Perfect for a chill group of friends

Plenty of shared space for the group for TV watching and meals and plenty of privacy for each person. We had five people and we never felt cramped. Check in and check out was really easy and the cabin was awesome!

Visiting for a wedding

The whole family loved the cabin! My favorite part was the swing in the back by the fire pit. My son and I nearly fell asleep while swinging under the trees! It was clean and well kept!

Very Nice again!

This was our second visit to this cabin and we are very happy both times. One thing I would wish for would be a fenced back maybe- we brought our dogs and it would have been nice to have them run around free in the back yard. However our experience was great !

A fun getaway with my husband, children/significants, and grandchildren

The property is located on a quiet street with limited traffic and few distractions. The host provided all things needed to make our accommodations both comfortable and stress free. Cottage very clean and was plenty of space for our group of 11. Location made it convenient to travel to our chosen destinations for our trip. Would definitely recommend this hostess and this cottage. I hope to return one day!

About the host

Hosted by Debbie Bernard

Host profile image
My husband and I are semi retired and found this area a few years ago. We fell in love with it. Fishing is amazing, both saltwater and freshwater. People are friendly and food is great fresh seafood. It has a beach nearby an aquarium that rehabilitates injured and sick marine life. This area offered everything we wanted. Low key, not commercialized, quiet with a lot of things for kids and adults to do.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique to this area to say the least. Who would ever expect to stay in an authentic log cabin by a beach! It’s spacious but cozy.

What makes this property unique

Beside being a beautiful log home the interior is magnificent. The entire interior is a combination of cypress, cedar, pine and oak with lots of live edge wood. The bar seats 8 with it lined with live edge. It’s amazing!
