About this property

Beachside Joy! Adorable, Cozy, and Beachfront -- Not a Condo!!!

We call our adorable and cozy 1BR townhome 'Beachside Joy” -- it is a beautiful gulf front unit that sits directly on the sugar-white sands of Panama City Beach (one of the most beautiful beaches in the world)! Beachside Joy is a NON-SMOKING unit.

When you stay here you are on the beach -- just walk down the deck stairs! This is not a high rise condo or hotel; there are no elevators to wait for and you don't have to share the beach with a thousand other condo residents. It's so wonderful to be able to walk right out the door and onto the beach or into the water!

Beachside Joy has a spacious living room, very tastefully decorated, with a 43" HDTV and a gorgeous view of the Gulf of Mexico. We have subscribed to over 160 channels (Xfinity) including most sports networks and some premium movie channels. The very comfortable couch is also a pull-out queen size sleeper sofa with a new and comfy memory foam mattress! There's a full bathroom on the same level (with a shower).

For convenience, the Beachside Joy has a beautiful, newly remodeled and fully-stocked cozy kitchen (including custom soft-close cabinets, quartz counter top, mosaic glass back splash, and high-end stainless appliances) so you can whip up a romantic dinner to enjoy on the deck while the sun sets over the Gulf of Mexico. It is a challenge keeping good cookware in a vacation rental so we replace all the pots and pans every three to six months. If you book with us and need something that isn't there then give us a call or text (we'll bring it to you ASAP). If you like to barbecue, you’ll find a high-end Weber gas grill ready for use on the gulf front deck -- perfect for adding a grilled steak or seafood to the meal!

The master suite, right up the spiral staircase, is bright and cheery with picture windows offering beautiful and serene views of the beach and gulf (including the spectacular sunsets)! The bed itself is king size with a high quality mattress (so you can sleep soundly after a day of fun). And you'll absolutely love the beautiful master bath, with a large dual sink granite vanity and a jetted jacuzzi tub. The TV in the master suite is also high definition with lots of available channels.

As for location, Beachside Joy is located approximately 3/4 of a mile west of the fabulous Pier Park shopping resort! You can see the pier itself from the gulf front deck.

There are some great dining spots within walking distance of our townhome. Right across the street you’ll find a Wings/Barbecue place and of course a couple of great seafood places (check out the “Sand Bar” about a block away).

There is a Winn Dixie grocery store and a CVS pharmacy across the street as well. Just to our east (in Pier Park) you’ll find a world of entertainment, dining, and shopping. The pier itself offers great views and fine fishing!

We are constantly updating Beachside Joy. We have updated/refinished the bathrooms, replaced all the windows with crystal-clear hurricane glass, completely replaced the floors with gorgeous LVP flooring, installed new ultra-quiet and very efficient mini-splits, and updated most of the furniture.

We contracted with a new cleaning service in September 2022. They are a friendly and thorough service (so you’ll find our home well cleaned and ready for your vacation). If you have any cleaning issues when you check in we will immediately send someone to take care of the problems.

We keep our calendar up-to-date, so you can check the available dates. Please call or send us a message with questions!

Tim & Vicki
Owners

Important note! Beachside Joy is a beautiful and comfortable beachfront vacation home, but it is is a small unit which requires a spiral staircase (there isn't room for a traditional staircase because the high ceilings, though airy and spacious, don't allow for enough length). The staircase is 100% in compliance with all building codes and the vast majority of our guests have no issues with them whatsoever. However, if you are elderly or have mobility issues to deal with, please consider the staircase before you decide to book with us. We want everyone who stays at Beachside Joy to have a wonderful time!

Beach Getaway

We loved this property! Check-in was a breeze, everything was clean, and the new overhead patio covers were a great addition to this location. New privacy curtains were installed outside, as well as new couches inside. Only issue was that the upstairs TV had no functionality during our trip (no cable/smart TV) but the downstairs one works great! Owners were very friendly and I would highly recommend this spot to anyone!

Christmas getaway

Although location was great the place was run down and bug infested. I seen cockroaches in kitchen and each morning woke with mysterious red itching welts on my arms and legs. When I contacted the property manager she said they had just acquired the property and did not have a chance to overhaul it. No excuse. For the money I psid I expected a clean room without bugs. Dishwasher was broken half the flatware was missing as well as smoke detectors. Horrible facilities. Shame on you. Hope you address before the next guest

Chason

A very nice accommodation for a couple or small family. Great location and beautiful beach, yet no crowds on the sand! Would liked to have had a permanent deck cover since the umbrella provided with the very nice deck seating was not sufficient for shade, particularly when grilling on the deck.

Great Location!

We loved the view and location. It was great being able to walk back to the townhouse if we needed a break from the beach. It was nice to be able to cook meals (including grilling) and eat them on the patio. The new owner was very responsive with any needs.

Perfect Getaway

This location has the best direct access to the beach! The condo was perfect for us from the amazing updated bathrooms, patio, comfy bed and beautiful views. Everything is so convenient and the perfect vacation spot! The only suggestion I can give is the underneath of the patio needs to be cleaned out.

Perfect Beach Getaway

Beachside Joy is fantastic! It's clean, up-to-date, in a great location, and has perfect access to the beach right off the back deck. It's also a little more private, as you're not right beside a large hotel with lots of people. The owner is also really nice, communicates extremely well, and will wan tto make sure your stay is great. I cannot recommend this property enough! Just book it...you won't regret it. I'll be coming back to this property again and again.

Great Location for enjoying the Beach

Fabulous views main level & from Master upstairs. Owner Tim took care of any concern promptly. Propane in the BBQ & back up tank provided, in case it ran out before we left. Plenty of closet space. Spent most time outside on deck. Beach walks easy. Best sunsets. Enjoyed the Seagulls Pelicans & saw Dolphins one day. Will return. Thanks

Beachside Joy…Beachside Bliss

We had a lovely stay at Beachside Joy. It truly lived up to its name these past several days. We loved the no fuss experience of being able to drive straight up to the place not worrying with catching a good spot in the parking garage and waiting for an elevator-we simply parked in our reserved spot, unloaded our things and got to the resting and relaxing that we came for this week. It was an effortless experience with the condo providing everything we needed and more. The master suite upstairs was perfect! King size bed, two closets, massive windows to awake in the morning and see the beach right in front of us. The master bath was amazing as well. We felt like we had our own private hot tub/spa! We took a bubble bath almost every day. The condo felt clean, airy and the beach views were unbeatable. We couldn’t be any closer to the beach if we tried. We felt lazy with how easy it was to lug our beach gear to the beach! Just a step off the deck and into the sand we were. We were close to some of our favorite restaurants to eat all the seafood we could. The owner was helpful and kind from the booking experience to the closure of our time there. It was the most perfect spot for two people! I’m writing this feeling sad that our time has ended but we know when we return we will be booking again with Beachside Joy. Thanks for the memories!

Beutiful beach house

This is our favorite place to stay when visiting PCB. The home is clean and beautifully decorated. My husband and I stay with our 13 yr old cavapoo. The home is very pet friendly including a gated deck with a beautiful view. This beach house is our 1st pick whenever traveling to PCB. The owner is very attentive and kind. Thank you for always making our trip special!

We have stayed in another townhose years ago and still can't get over the location where you can walkout your back door and be on the beach. Tim was awesome. We were missing sheets to the pull out. Gave Tim a call and within hours had new sheets delivered. My wife and I would recommend Beachside Joy or Bliss to anyone who's looking for sun, beach, and relaxation.

Hi! We are former Colorado residents who relocated in July 2017 to the beautiful emerald coast. We bought a home on St Andrews Bay just a few miles from Beachside Joy. We absolutely love PCB and are excited to share our blessings with you!

Tim & Vicki Bougan

Why they chose this property

We call this unit 'Beachside Joy' because it's gulf front and right on the beach (and not just any beach, but one of the world's most beautiful beaches)!

What makes this property unique

Beachside Joy is a townhome and not a high rise condo or hotel. You park right outside the front door and walk down the deck steps onto the sand. You have no elevators to wait for and don't have to share the beach with a thousand others in a high rise complex. It's quiet, beautiful, and oh-so relaxing!
