The Shell House enjoy comfort & privacy, close to Pier Park & Frank Brown action

The Shell House at Horizon South Resort is near perfection for anyone seeking an opporunity to get away from the hustle and bustle to experience relaxing in a private, serene oasis enjoying down time with friends and family yet able to enjoy great amenities right outside the door. Just a few of the onsite amenities to enjoy are four sparkling pools (one heated during the winter) kiddie pool, hot tub, an exercise facility, shuffle board court, horse shoe pit, tennis courts, and an onsite putt putt golf course.
One of the great advantages of vacationing at The Shell House is never having to deal with crowded elevators, packed parking decks or peek a boo balconies. The Shell House is a 2 story townhome with ground floor access, parking is right in front of the building and the spacious patio is open to the beautiful Florida sunshine but privacy is assured due to the Privacy fence that completely surrounds the large patio.
Convenience is another important factor enjoyed while staying at The Shell House. The Horizon South Resort's north side gate provides direct access to Panama City Beach Parkway, locals still refer to it as Back Beach Road, and the southern gate is on Front Beach Road directly in front ot our renowned Sugar White beach and refreshing Aqua, crystal clear Gulf of Mexico. Many guests like the fact that The Shell House is only 2.5 miles from Pier Park shopping, concerts, festivals, and shows at Aaron Bessant Park. Active individuals and families always find something fun to do at the Frank Brown Park, also less than three miles from The Shell House, offerng the lighted ball fields,batting cages, Concession stand, all weather tennis and basket ball courts, kids playground and Splash pool, dog park, Picnic Paviolions, Youth Fishing pond, Gayle's Trails and the Panama CIty Beach Aquatic Center.
Restaurants, musuems, convenience stores, fast food restaurants, pharmacies and grocery stores are also nearby.
Offering an attractive, comfortable, convenient setting for great vacations is the goal and purpose for The Shell House. Attention to detail, creativity, preparation, and consistent updating and maintaining have combined to create an ideal accommodation for visitors. We hope all our guests have an excellent visit and look forward to returning to The Shell House.
With the primary or master bedroom on the ground floor and the guest bedroom on the 2nd floor, everyone has an opportunity to unwind in their own space. The fact that there is also a full bath on both floors provides additional convenience. The well equipped kitchen has been supplied with all the esentials desired to create and serve family meals. The full size washer and dryer is easily accessed across the hall from the kitchen. The open and airy living room with its soaring vaulted ceiling, is comfortable for everyone. The living room opens to the large private patio. Direct and indirect lighting, windows, comfortable beds and seating, sofa, love seat and an easy boy recliner in the living room, wifi, 3 nice HD televisions with Roku, private entrance, gated community, convenient parking are some of the reasons people enjoy staying at The Shell House at Horizon South. We hope you will too.

Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Unit was not pet friendly as listed, I checked with host 2 weeks before and he confirmed everything was good. Still have the messages. When HOA contacted him about the pet he informed me that I never asked about the pet and I needed to board my pet, he did offer to pay for the boarding but I have a Chihuahua that has separation anxiety and he doesn’t allow anyone near him that he doesn’t know, hence why we found a pet friendly unit. The only way for the pet could stay was if he was a service dog or have a signed letter from Dr stating that I needed an emotional support animal and why. We checked in on a Saturday at 4pm, do you know how hard it was to find a Dr when you’re 10 hours away from home on a Saturday evening. I was also confronted by an HOA resident asking about my pet and telling me that I’m breaking the rules, at this point I had already spent hours trying to secure this letter so we didn’t have to find somewhere else to stay on a Saturday evening. However after some back in forth with host Dr George, he was supportive and apologetic for what happened and informed us that the property was under new management, new rules and the listing shouldn’t have said ‘pet friendly’. The property was as listed, beds were comfortable, Host was fast to respond and we finally got to enjoy our vacation after 2 days of back and forth with HOA and host.
