Top 5 Airbnbs in Panama City Beach, FL

Silver Sands Getaway sits in the quiet Lower Lagoon neighborhood on Panama City Beach's east end, a 4-minute walk to the sand at Beach Access 16. Load the beach wagon with the backpack chairs, umbrella, cooler and body boards from the gear shed, and you're on the beach before your coffee cools.

Back at the house, the fenced backyard is its own retreat. The private heated pool has color-changing lights, and pool heating is included at no extra charge. Sun loungers, string lights and a propane grill with free propane round out the space for long afternoons and evening swims.

The layout works for families and multi-generational groups. A first-floor bedroom and bath suits grandparents or anyone who'd rather skip the stairs. Kids head straight for the upstairs bunk room with two sets of twin bunks. The king primary suite has its own coffee bar and a balcony over the pool, and 13 seats at the table and island fit everyone at dinner.

Traveling with little ones? The pack-n-play, high chair, mini crib, baby gate and toys are already here. Working remotely? There are four desks with monitors and 738 Mbps WiFi, plus 45+ board games for after hours.

You can walk to Alibi Beach Lounge & Grill for live music and to Mr. Puff's Hand-Rolled Ice Cream. St. Andrews State Park and the Shell Island ferry are a short drive away.

Sunsetora is a freshly remodeled, single-level beach house on Panama City Beach's east end, just 3 blocks from the beach at Beach Access 11 and 12. Grab the beach chairs and towels, or hop on one of the two adult bikes, and you're on the sand in minutes.

The backyard is where Sunsetora shines. It's large, fully fenced and private, with a hot tub, a fire table, a classic fire pit and a propane grill with free fuel. Kids play cornhole while the adults unwind, and the outdoor shower rinses off the sand before anyone heads inside.

Inside, the king primary suite has blackout curtains and a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding soaking tub and walk-in shower. There's also a queen guest room, a bunk room with two full-over-twin bunks and a queen sleeper sofa, so 10 guests sleep comfortably. Everything is on one level, with no stairs to climb.

Families will find a pack-n-play, high chair, toys, books and board games ready to go. Mornings start at the coffee bar with an espresso machine and Keurig Duo, and two dedicated workspaces with fast WiFi cover remote work or virtual school.
