Your Laguna Beach Getaway Awaits Tucked away in Laguna Beach, this beautifully remodeled vintage coastal cottage is your perfect escape to white sands, clear waters, and Gulf breezes. Sleeps 7, but we recommend 4-5 guests for the best experience. We’re happy to host all 7, but expect a cozy stay. With plenty of spaces to unwind—the pool, beds, sofas, rocking chairs, and porch—you'll find comfort at every turn. Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout keeps everything clean and fresh.
Thoughtfully Designed Living Spaces The front porch is the perfect morning coffee spot with two padded Adirondack chairs where you can enjoy the peaceful neighborhood and the sound of waves.
The living room is designed for relaxation with a large Roku TV where you can stream Netflix, Hulu, and more with your login. The space includes a plush 3-person couch, a leather swivel reclining chair, two comfortable wicker chairs with cushions, and a farmhouse credenza for storage and style.
Bedrooms – Sleep in Comfort The master suite features a 14" king memory foam mattress with luxury cotton sheets, blackout curtains for a restful sleep, and a Roku TV. Enjoy your own private entrance to the pool through the French doors. Two dressers, nightstands, and a sound machine complete the space.
The second bedroom offers a 14" queen memory foam mattress with luxury cotton sheets, a custom shiplap headboard, corner shelves, and a dresser for storage. A Roku TV is also included.
The third bedroom is perfect for kids, featuring solid wood bunk beds with a double mattress on the bottom and a twin on top, along with a dresser for storage.
Backyard & Pool – Your Private Oasis The outdoor space is the highlight of this home. Whether you’re lounging poolside, grilling, or playing cornhole, there’s something for everyone. The private heated pool is 20x10 feet with a depth of 10 feet. There is plenty of lounge seating, an umbrella for shade, a charcoal grill for BBQ nights, and a cornhole set for added fun.
The pool is heated with a gas heater, making it warm quickly and efficiently. Unlike electric heaters, which take longer, this one ensures comfort even on cooler days. Pool heating is available for $45 per day—please request before booking if you’d like it on for your stay. Due to nature, occasional tree debris may land in the pool. A skimmer is provided for in-between cleaning if needed.
Outdoor Shower – A Refreshing Must-Try Perfect for rinsing off after a beach or pool day, the private outdoor shower adds to the coastal experience.
FREE Beach Gear Included A beach cart, umbrella, and chairs are provided at no extra charge. If a previous guest damages the cornhole set or beach cart before your check-in, we cannot guarantee availability, but we will do our best to replace or accommodate you if this happens.
Fully Stocked Kitchen – Cook with Ease The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, a coffee maker to start your mornings right, a blender, toaster, and microwave. Cookware, utensils, and dishware are provided for the whole family, along with spices and basic cooking essentials.
Prime Location – Minutes from Everything 400 Steps to Laguna Beach – Quiet, Uncrowded, & No High-Rises 5 Minutes to Thomas Donuts & Carousel Grocery – Local Favorites 10 Minutes to 30A & Rosemary Beach – Explore Scenic Coastal Towns 8 Minutes to Pier Park – Shopping, Dining, & Entertainment 25 Minutes to St. Andrew’s Park – Nature Trails & Kayaking 20 Minutes to Panama City Airport

Brennan always delivers a great experience. The house is cozy but offers everything you need for a great vacation. The pool is great and you cannot beat the location to the beach, Carousel Market, and the famous Thomas' Donuts. The weather was perfect and we can't wait to return for another trip.

My husband and I spent the week with our dogs and it was a great time. Wonderful location. Cute bungalow with everything you need for a getaway. The pool was great and the dogs enjoyed the patio while we enjoyed the Baja deck of the pool to relax in. Can’t wait to go back!

We love the Laguna Beach area, and this house was perfect for our family of 4 for a week of spring break. Very close to the beach and the Carousel grocery store. Very clean property. And the heated pool allowed swimming early and late !

Great home and pool. It was very clean and well decorated. Property manager was very nice and accommodating! Very well located, walking distance from a well stocked grocery store and just a few minutes away from anything you would need. Perfect place for a small family and the pool is nice and private. Would definitely stay there again!

We were very comfortable and couldn't be happier about the location--walking distance to downtown and a block from the beach. The hosts were extremely attentive. Everything was as advertised. You will not be disappointed!

We have been to so many vacation condos and homes, but the Delmar Beach Cottage was the Best! The home was clean and so inviting and oh so cute! The neighborhood was quiet and safe! I loved the private pool so much! I seriously can not wait to go back and take our grandkids! If you ever want to sell this beautiful place call us first! Thank you for hosting us we had a wonderful time and a great experience!

Our kids love pools so we had booked this place for the pool. When we arrived we went straight to the pool and saw it was covered in algae. We got in contact with the host and he had suggested we buy pool shocker and shock it ourselves. He then had pool cleaners come by to shock the pool. We ended up leaving and staying somewhere else for the night and we were refunded for the inconvenience.

Will definitely stay here again. Great location, loved the pool. Communication was great. The only complaint would be that it could be cleaner…it was dusty and the floors weren’t cleaned completely. Looked like the high spots were done not detail. Don’t get me wrong though, we had a great time and are already looking at dates in the future, just saying the cleaners should do better.

I was looking for a place to relax and regroup for a few weeks after my mom passed away. This house was the perfect retreat. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, within walking distance to the beach and Carousel Grocery. The place was clean, extremely well stocked in every category. It was cozy and I instantly felt relaxed.. The pool and backyard is perfect. Brennan the host was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Great communication and just a super nice person! Thank you so much. I will definitely be back!

We rented this property after our original booking was cancelled due to Hurricane Ian. We were bummed to completely change sides of the state and having not stayed in Panama City for many years we weren't sure of the location. We were pleasantly surprised what a great low key area this was away from high traffic. Easy walk to the beach with two younger kids, beach wagon provided along with chairs. Beds slept great as well. Pool is nice; was a little cool due to a cold snap, so we opted to have it heated.
Would definitely recommend this home and this small beach town feel!

Property has a wonderful location but it was very dirty. Upholstery has stains as well as the bedspread. Owner covered the couch with a blanket. When we messaged owner he sent a new bedspread. My daughter and I weren't comfortable getting into a bed that had stains or using the furniture. Bathroom had a bathmat in tub that was really gross. The house was not clean. You can tell it is not managed well. The outside needs attention as well as the inside. The flooring is cracked and raised in some spots and blinds do not work. Everything is old and needs to be updated. If you are paying $500 per night you don't expect these issues.

Our "new house," as our 6yo has dubbed it, proved to be perfect for our fall getaway. This house literally has everything that you could need. The kitchen is FULLY stocked. We cooked a lot of our meals and didn't need one thing that wasn't there (even spices in the pantry!). There is a nice grocery store that is a block and a half away. The beds are comfortable. There are beach chairs, sand toys and a beach wagon for use. The pool is amazing (gas heated pool was SUPER nice when there was a random 20 degree temp drop). There are plenty of towels and starter toiletries. Brennan was excellent to work with. He graciously answered my numerous questions.
The beaches in this area are amazing. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We highly recommend this rental and will hopefully be back next year!

Myself, my wife, our 10-year-old son, and our two dogs enjoyed this property in mid-June 2023.
It is a very quiet and cozy space. The pool was wonderful! Very clean and lots of fun toys to play with. My son loved it a TON, especially because the PC beach can be problematic with currents (three of the days we stayed were double-flag and closed to the public, and the days they weren't they were still quiet intense, so he didn't stay in the ocean too long).
The location is INCREDIBLE and well worth the price. It is close to all sorts of conveniences and a VERY short trip away from the main Panama City experience. Honestly, staying at this property was like staying somewhere others hadn't discovered yet. I couldn't believe how killer it was.
Brennan was a very, very communicative host who responded near-instantly to any messages I sent to him.
The house itself is furnished well. It was clean when we stayed and had lots of small touches that made the stay exemplary. The outside shower was particularly great.
I emphatically encourage anyone with a family to stay here. It was an awesome experience. We already are talking about when we can come back!

Terrific location, literally a block to an awesome beach entrance (about a 4-min. walk) & just around the corner from the Carousel store (& liquor store) + a short, pretty 8-min walk to Thomas Donut (where you can also grab lunch, ice cream & pizza)-12 mins to Thomas if you walk along the beach. You could definitely park & never drive. The photos are accurate for the most part. We didn't need the 3 bedrooms &would have preferred a more open space layout, but I know most prefer the rooms. Pool's as big as it looks in photos & feels secluded - the walk-in/lounge pool stairs rule. There's a grill! plenty of beach chairs & places to lounge. Definitely bring your own beach towels. Our favorite thing was the porch, it's a great place to post up & read on a rain day - coffee in the am - quiet, shady street with beautiful trees & super friendly neighbors balanced with quiet privacy. The host was easy to reach, communicative & helpful, but also didn't "bother" us during our stay. I think they'd just sprayed for bugs so there was a chemical smell in the house - probably not something that'll always be the case, but you may want to plan in case it's a regular thing, we aired it out the best we could(maybe bring incense or a scented candle?). It's an older renovated house & floors have "settled". There are cameras around the property- always makes me uneasy, but that seems to be the deal with all rentals recently. No real complaints, mostly just "so-you-know" notes. Recommended place!

Great place for us! We greatly enjoyed the stay, and would recommend to any couple or small family/group. There were only 2 of us.
As the satisfaction of any stay is mostly about matching a house's qualities with your expectations, here is a breakdown of our observations:
+The pool is great, with a max. depth under 6 feet. We are not into diving, etc. Solar string lantern lights around fence gave a great night feel as well, as we sat to watch stars.
+Some pool and beach equipment is available. Wagon & 2 beach chairs were esp. nice.
+The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. Great for us, not for those that would want a loud, wild vacation. Loudest noise was a local rooster, rarely heard unless outside.
+Outdoor shower has a very large floor space. Open towards pool area - shallow end. First day had some wind, so the curtain would blow in towards shower, so didn't use curtain often. As only a couple, never a problem. If you want any modesty with a group, unsure, but that might get challenging?
+One indoor bathroom (shower & toilet). Great for us, but consider if planning several people, what your dynamics might be.
+One long block to beach. Easy, short, level walk; but can't see beach from house. Only real negative, to us; but walked there often. Would still rent again.
+Smaller kitchen & living area. Great for 2, but the full 7 capacity might feel tight inside, IF expecting lots of personal spaces.
+Price seemed higher compared to other houses we've rented in the past, for amenities and location. (BUT: Inflation, and/or a lot less available) Everything was provided as detailed; and no surprises, assuming we get deposit back.
=Overall a great place for us to reconnect as just a couple, which it has been years since we have traveled without kids.
