Stunning Three Story PCB House / Pool / Pet Friendly / Gulf of Mexico Views

Just steps from the white-sand beaches in Panama City Beach, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath vacation rental is perfect for a family Gulf getaway! The expansive beach house hosts 6 adults comfortably and boasts a nautically-themed decor, a private patio, balconies, beach and pool. Aptly named ‘Anchors Away Beach House’ this villa rests in an exclusive, centrally located community of ten 3-story townhomes and provides a luxurious retreat in the Sunshine State.

THE PROPERTY:

Master Bedroom (Mermaid Room): King Bed, Queen Sleeper Sofa;
Bedroom 2 (Starfish Room): King Bed;
Bedroom 3 (Light House): Queen Bed;
Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa.

This ideally located, Southern Coastal decor villa invites you to bring your family, friends and pets for a pristine Florida getaway with easy beach access. Spend your mornings soaking up the sun at the pool and your afternoons cooking chargrilled feasts to enjoy on one of the 2 second-floor balconies.

‘Anchors Away’ features an open floor plan with 10-foot tall ceilings in each of its beach-themed bedrooms and common areas. Mornings are best spent sipping a warm cup of coffee on the third-story balcony while gazing out at the Gulf of Mexico.

After you’ve loaded up the beach wagons with chairs, prepare your group a hardy breakfast in the second-floor, fully equipped kitchen outfitted with a 4-burner electric range, clean white cabinetry, and sleek granite countertops. If you’re looking for extra space to cook, the first floor has an additional well-equipped kitchen with a fridge and 4-burner electric range.

When you return from your sun-filled day, unwind on the back patio with your favorite refreshments while watching the sun fade to early evening with your travel companions or sitting by the pool. Finish off the night by watching your favorite movies on the flat-screen cable TV in the living room or people watching on the second or third-floor balconies to enjoy a refreshing ocean breeze! Each balcony is covered to enjoy the Florida environment in any type weather.

Retreat to one of the 3 bedrooms as you start to get tired and relax on the cloud-like mattresses surrounded by cozy furnishings. Draw a soothing bubble bath in the upstairs en-suite bathroom tub if you’re looking for a bit more pampering before retiring for the night!


THE LOCATION:

Start your day by walking down to the Panama City Beach access to watch the sunrise. My family uses Beach Access #65 when staying at Anchors Away.

If you’re looking for some retail therapy during your stay, drive 6 minutes to reach Pier Park shopping mall. The mall boasts a variety of outlets where you will find anything from apparel, to beach supplies and fantastic restaurants.

For my pet parents, Frank Brown Park and Aaron Bessant Park is only 1.3 miles from the house. Each park offers a pet-friendly environment and offers 70 acres of open lawn space, picnic areas and lush foliage. The pet-friendly beach is located at the Pier Park beach only minutes from Anchors Away.

Explore one of the many delicious local eateries on the nights that you’re not dining at home. The Sandbar Seafood and BBQ is a short walk from the property and an excellent spot to have your favorite beverage or enjoy some of their delicious entrees, ranging from fresh oysters to award-winning barbecue.


THE ANCHORS AWAY EXPERIENCE:

’Anchors Away’ is a five-star-rated vacation rental and has been reviewed by independent travel agents for its location, beach access, amenities, size, cleanliness and affordability. Anchors Away is inspected after each guest departure to ensure it is ready and up to my expectations each time. I want all my guests to be treated with luxury and a worry-free vacation. The reviews have focused upon guests being treated like family and indicating that this is their new beach-home-away-from-home. Most of my new family return for seasonal retreats, vacations, romantic getaways, shopping weekends, concerts or sporting events.


THE ANCHORS AWAY PET POLICY:

My pet policy allows for a maximum of five pets (dogs only - no size limit). A $200.00 non-refundable fee allows me to ensure that my house is ready for my next friends and family’s arrival. The balconies are great for your pets to people watch but please do not leave them unattended if they are teacup size and adventurous. Do yourself a favor and do not leave home without your pet.

SEASONAL ACCOMMODATIONS:

Please contact me through a VRBO Inquiry if you would like to vacation at my house for 28 days or more. I will assist you with a reasonable rate through VRBO.


JO’s PROMISE:

My husband and I have traveled extensively with our pets and found most hotels and houses sub-par. I want all my guests to experience the luxury, safety and cleanliness that we all are expecting when traveling. I also want to take the guess-work out of travel. I encourage all my potential guests to research our area and my house. Through VRBO you can see the exact location of your vacation getaway with the Google Earth finder located at the bottom of the web page of the house you are interested. My house is near beach access # 65 ( approximately 100 yards) which all my guests use to enter the beach. I want my guests to rest assured that they will have a dream house for their beach vacation. This is my home-away-from-home and I try to make sure it will be yours too for this vacation and many more to come.

Please take a few moments with your search and read the reviews. I am a PCB licensed beach vacation rental owner with the City of Panama City Beach and Panama City Beach Tourism Center. You will have a great time at Anchors Away and make family memories that will last a lifetime.

Super Beach House and Location
We loved our vacation at PCB. The house was great and as described. The location was the best we ever had at the beach. Our rescue dogs loved the house and the beach. The bedroom and beds were perfect. We were central to Frank Brown Park and Pier Park. Everyone had a great time and we will return.

Cozy little stay
This property was neatly tucked down a side street away from the hustle and bustle of city traffic! However, it was most convenient to shopping, dining, activities, and the beach! Jo, the property owner, was always friendly and readily accessible. The property was as represented and was clean and ready to go when we arrived! Truly a great vacation getaway! Thanks, Jo!

Outstanding End of Summer Beach Vacation
We needed to have a quality beach vacation with all the bells and whistles. We found exactly that at Anchors Away. Jo was fantastic and made sure we had a worry free vacation and could enjoy a fabulous beach house with my best friends and our fur babies. It was exactly as advertised but better. We all had the privacy and luxury at the house. The house is directly across from the pool. Great balconies for outdoor dining and views. We sat out until the early morning soaking up the beach sounds and trade winds. Spectacular sunrise and sunsets. We will return.

Ok rental
The housekeeping was not good when we arrived. Had an issue with the owner when I reported it. They did say they would send housekeeping back out on Monday but it was not convenient for us, so I did a little cleaning. The house does need some updating and the bed on the 1st level was not comfortable and the sofa bed upstairs on the third level needs a mattress pad to make it more comfortable since the mattress is so thin. . No place to put clothes on 1st floor, the small closet was full with a vacuum and wagon and not much room for food on the second floor since the pantry was locked. Not a 5 star unit in my opinion. It is sufficient and if you don’t mind a bunch of stairs.

Needed a respite from the city life. Exceptional hospitality and great location for the beach life experience. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths of pure relaxation. Pool was perfect. Beach was spectacular. Advertising of this house was spot on. All the amenities needed to cook like a professional chef. The absolute best worry-free vacation I have taken in years.

Every aspect of this property was excellent. Instant communications with the host. Clean and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen, bedding and bath supplies. Like any home near the beach, there are stairs to climb. If you are a vegetarian, there are not many dining options available in PCB, however the grocery store is nearby and well stocked.

Excellent Family and Pet Getaway
We stayed at Anchors Away for fall break with our two teenagers and four dogs, and we absolutely loved it. Jo was extremely responsive and worked with us, so we could stay an extra night. The condo was very clean and was huge!! Jo keeps it well stocked with trash bags, detergent, laundry detergent, toilet paper, and paper towels. We didn’t need to buy any for our entire stay which was appreciated and unexpected! The ability to have our dogs at the beach is something we will never forget, and we are so thankful to Jo for allowing us that opportunity. We will definitely return!!

Overall good family vacation
When we arrived, we immediately had some cleaning to do due to dog hair being everywhere. I reached out to the owner, and they advised that they had changed cleaning companies. The response from Jo’s husband was you can leave, and we will give you a full refund as we strive for 5 stars. I advised that we drove 8 hours to get there and would clean up everything. Jo called back and was very concerned and willing to drive back to Florida to make things right. I told her there was no need and that we have taken care of everything. Jo was very nice and responded quick. Based on the responses from Jo I’m sure she will make things right to ensure her next guests have a good experience. The home is in a good location to the beach, pier park, and the grocery store. The second balcony on the main level is the best place in the house! Overall we had a good vacation and settled into the house well.

Giving owners some grace...
Arrived to some issues that we had to deal with immediately. Owners were not aware and changed cleaning companies. This did put a damper on beginning of vacation. Came across a few other issues and owners did take care of things as quick as they could. I'm not going to bash them for things out of their control, but I am expecting some compensation. We had to go buy several things ourselves and take time out from our vacation to make the rest of our family happy. In general, the house is in a good location. It is well equipped and decorated nicely. Plenty room for 10. Beds decent. We even got a new queen mattress while staying. Balcony is great. Pet friendly. There are a lot of steps fyi. Short walk to the beach zig zagging though construction. There was only 1 beach wagon which was difficult to carry all of our stuff to the beach. I believe the the problems we had were just our bad luck and are solved now.
