Q: Why should I book direct instead of using Airbnb or VRBO?
A: When you book directly with us, you avoid platform service fees (which can add 14–20% to your total), communicate straight with the property owners, and often access rates and flexibility not available on third-party platforms. You're also guaranteed you're dealing with a real hosts, Caitlin, not a property management company.
Q: Do your Panama City Beach rentals have beach access?
A: Yes. All three of our vacation rentals include beach access. Our two Edgewater properties use the resort's free beach tram service, which runs regularly and drops guests right at the Gulf. Our Laketown Wharf property includes private beach access with wristbands as part of the resort fee.
Q: What is the resort fee for Edgewater Beach Resort?
A: Edgewater Beach Resort charges a one-time $50 fee per vehicle, payable directly to the resort. This covers your parking pass, gated security, beach access wristbands, and full use of resort amenities (pools, hot tubs, tennis, pickleball, fitness club) for your entire stay. A $30 fee applies for each additional vehicle, up to three vehicles. Golf is a separate per-use fee.
Q: What is the resort fee for Laketown Wharf?
A: Laketown Wharf charges a one-time $85 resort fee, payable directly to the resort closer to your arrival. This covers 24-hour gated security, parking, and private beach access with wristbands for your entire party.
Q: Do your rentals allow long-term or monthly stays?
A: Absolutely — we love hosting snowbirds and extended-stay guests. If you're looking to spend a month (or the whole season!) in Panama City Beach, reach out directly for special monthly rates. It's one of the best-kept secrets about booking direct.
Q: What is the minimum age to book?
A: The minimum booking age for our two Edgewater Beach Resort properties is 25. There is no age restriction specified for Laketown Wharf beyond standard platform requirements.
Q: Are your condos pet-friendly?
A: Our properties are not pet-friendly at this time. We know that's not the answer every traveler wants, but it helps us maintain the cleanliness and quality our guests consistently rate us for.
Q: I'm not sure which property is right for me, can you help?
A: Absolutely — this is one of the most common questions we get, and we genuinely love helping guests find their perfect fit. Just reach out through our contact page with your travel dates, group size, and what matters most to you, and we'll point you in the right direction personally.
