About this property

Family friendly community. FREE beach chair service & golf cart included!

Our cozy Sea Shack is located in the 100-acre gated community of Venture Out on the far east end of Panama City Beach nestled up to St. Andrews State Park. Hop on the included golf cart for a very quick ride over to the private community beach. It’s easily accessible by a designated golf cart crossing and parking lot. If you prefer fishing or boating out of Lower Grand Lagoon, home to the famous Capt. Anderson's, we have that too! With both beach and bay access this is sure to become your family's favorite new vacation spot!

The Sea Shack includes FREE beach chair service that is complimentary for the duration of your stay! (Tips always appreciated of course!)

Other FREE community amenities include; 2 pools + separate kiddie pool on the beach side, newly built fishing pier on the lagoon, basketball court, playground, boat ramp, shuffle board, mini golf, tennis/pickleball courts, and charcoal grills. All of the equipment for these activities can be picked up at the 24-hour guard shack with the exception of tennis/pickleball racket rentals and tennis ball purchase to be made in the main office.

In our home you will enjoy the renovated kitchen, unique children's loft, and a spacious deck that faces towards the beach.

Our home also has a convenient side door that leads straight into the master bathroom for easy clean up after a long beach day.

Within walking distance you can check out the local Patches Pub & Grill, then grab dessert at Sweet Cone Alabama Ice Cream (chocolate moose tracks is my personal favorite).

Just a very short drive away are more of our personal favorites; Schooners, Deck Hand Social, J. Michaels, Triple J’s Steakhouse, Christo’s, Dat Cajun Place, Andy's Flour Power, Grand Marlin, and Capt. Anderson's of course!

Take a day trip to Shell Island from St. Andrew's State Park or our favorite Lagoon Pontoons. Young kids really enjoy the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise while everyone can enjoy dolphin watching on-board the Sea Screamer!

Other distances that may be of intrest:
Publix ~2 miles
Winn-Dixie ~2 miles
Walmart ~5 miles
Pier Park ~10 miles

Perfect for families with littles!

This was perfect for my husband and I and our 2&4 year old! We loved riding the golf cart, and the state park beside it! The kids loved the litttle hideout above the day bed. Everything was clean and nicely decorated & the check in process was very easy! Loved it!

Enjoyed our stay

We made some great memories here as a family. Loved all the renovations and how modern it was. The kitchen has all you could need to make meals. The owners have really paid attention to the small details and have done a great job with this property. They were great with communicating and making sure we were happy with our stay. My kids loved the golf cart and all the amenities the property offered. Would stay again.

Very Good

We have been to Venture Out several times and enjoy the location. This rental is in a great spot within the community and the beach chairs/golf cart were great to have (not having to carry chairs back and forth was a game changer). Overall the house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The only issue we had was the living room and bedroom furniture was not comfortable to us. I would recommend this location.

Great stay close to everything

My family had a great time. A cozy house that is perfect for a family of 4 or so. My youngest (10 years old) loved the children’s loft. He was in there anytime we were in the house. There is so much to do in the community, let alone the beach. It is a 2 minute golf cart ride to the beach. If we come back to Panama City, we will definitely stay again.

Lovely space!

The unit was super cute, very clean, comfy and very well stocked. The golf cart was wonderful- even though the beach and pool are just a short walk from this little house. Leah, the home manager, was extremely responsive and helpful with any and all questions I had about the area and home. All in all could not ask for a better experience! Recommend 100%.

Great little getaway! Just what we needed To rejuvenate! The property was very clean! Communication with the owner was so easy and was there to answer any questions we had! It was the perfect space for my husband and I and our 14 year old! The little loft and reading nook is a must for little kiddos! I enjoyed the daybed/nook in the living room for reading! Had all you needed in the kitchen to cook breakfast and nice dinners if you wanted to stay in! It is perfectly decorated!! Great back porch for watching the deer and just relaxing in general! Will def book here again!!

All-around excellent stay!

The house was very clean and well-maintained. Furnishings were updated and decor was lovely. Everything worked perfectly from the appliances to the golf cart to the lock on the door. Kitchen is well stocked, beds are comfy, and air works great! The owners are easy to communicate with and have thought of everything you need to enjoy your stay. This house has a wonderful covered back deck area so we could enjoy time outside in the evenings. The master bath is very big for a house in this area and we really enjoyed the lay out of the house in general. The golf cart was one of the highlights of our stay - it made going to the pool and beach so easy and was our toddler’s favorite thing to do. He also really enjoyed the book loft. We love this area and my husband said several times that he wants to come back to this house next time we come!

AMAZING PLACE

Our family, which was myself, my husband, my mother in law, our 3 kids (6, 4, and 1) had an amazing stay! This house had everything we needed and more. Down to some children proof locks which was a huge relief. The boys LOVED their “hideout” area, the house was so cozy and home like which was a plus since our middle is autistic and doesn’t do great away from home. But everyone did wonderful here, we loved the golf cart rides, the playground is brand new, and the pools are great! The beach area is not busy and so much better on this end. We even saw deer multiple mornings from our porch area. This is a place to stay for sure! And the ease of checking in and out was easy. Our host was always one step ahead in letting us know all the details we needed and responds quickly. Thank y’all so much!

Perfect Getaway!

The owners have put a ton of time into renovating this property. It’s just as nice as it looks in the pictures. The golf cart makes getting to and from the beach very easy. The owner communicated with us regularly during our stay. It was an awesome trip and we are looking forward to coming back!

We have a son we homeschool that allows us the flexability to travel. There are many places we love to visit but none as special as PCB. We are blessed and honored to be able to share it with others.
