About this property

Pet-Friendly House with Hot Tub - ON THE BEACH! In the CENTER of PCB!!!

Please note: This listing is for the lower level. Upper level is not rented out.

Tranquility... the name says it all. Located RIGHT ON the white sugary sands in the heart of Panama City Beach. Go out the back door from the sun room and you are right ON THE BEACH. You will feel the 'tranquility' that the name of this home implies the moment you set foot in the house. Enjoy lounging in the hot tub while gazing at the gulf watching the sun set, or conversing in the sun room which has a 180 degree view of the gulf, or watch TV on one of the four flat screen TVs including the high def 60' TV in the living room or the large screen high def TV in the master bedroom. Programming includes over 200 cable channels including HBO, STARZ, Cinemax, SHOWTIME, and the sports channels. Also free Wi-Fi.

The home is centrally located within Panama City Beach – within walking distance to Pineapple Willie’s, La Vela, and Walmart. Since you are in a residential section of the beach (not next to any condos) it will feel like you have your own private beach!

You will enjoy full use of the entire ground floor of this two-story beach house. Your vacation get-away has five sleeping areas. The master bedroom has a king size bed and a large flat screen high definition TV. The second bedroom has a built in full over queen bunk bed, with a twin hideaway underneath, and a flat screen TV. The third sleeping area is a pass-thru bedroom with twin bunk beds and a day bed with a trundle. This area has its own flat screen TV and half bath. It is perfect for the kids. The fourth sleeping area is the sun room, right off the master, with a queen size sleeper sofa. The fifth sleeping area is the living room, which has a queen size sleeper sofa. There are two full baths, and a half bath.

Hot tub and charcoal grill on back porch. Parking for four cars in front driveway.

Note: this property is two separate homes, 'Heart of the Beach' upstairs and 'Tranquility' downstairs. Only Tranquility is available for vacation rental.

Tranquility is the correct name!

Tranquility was just that! This home is right on the beach in a row of houses. You pretty much have the beach to yourself but all the fun is right around the corner! Great location. The home is older and has lots of character. Very clean and everything you need. The swing is nestled in the dunes with a beautiful view of the gorgeous beach and gulf. Morning coffee was a must on the swing. On cooler days we sat in the big hot tub with drinks and listened to music while viewing the beach. Beds were comfy. The owner Dennis and his wife live upstairs but respect your privacy. Overall it was a fantastic experience!!!Dennis

Will be back! 10/10

This place was absolutely fantastic! We loved every bit of our stay! There was plenty of room to all be together as a family but have our own space at the same time! The neighborhood is awesome and close to any activity you would want to do! We were very happy to find a pet friendly home that was located in such a nice and quiet area. One that made us feel safe while walking our dog at night. The section of beach this property is located on was stunning! Dennis upstairs was very quick to help us when we needed it and was super friendly! This place definitely felt like a home away from home! We greatly looking forward to booking this house in the future!!! The only negative about this place is we wish we booked longer! :)

Beachfront property with less crowds than most places

We enjoyed being so close to the beach and the fact that we could bring our dogs on vacation with us. The beds were very comfortable and we all used the hot tub much more than I thought we would.

Nice place to stay right on the beach!

Location for this house is close to everything. It was nice to be able to walk right out to the beach and also take a short walk down the beach to pineapple Willly's for some drinks and food.We sat out on the back patio and enjoyed watching the sunsets and our dogs were able to stay out with us with the fenced in patio.Overall this was a nice place to stay for vacation and we had a great time in PCB!

Tranquility ❤️

We stayed four nights and our stay was lovely. Short walk to beach and jacuzzi was clean and relaxing. We were very pleased we were able to bring my small white dog. She is 13 1/2 and she had such a nice and tranquil stay. We were completely satisfied with all aspects of our vacation. Thank you for such a relaxing vacation. : )

Perfect Location!

For the first time all going together, I took my two kids, their spouses, and my grandchildren to PCB for a family mini-vacation. The property is in an excellent location that is convenient to all you will need while at the beach. We all enjoyed the patio, swing and hot tub, and the grandkids had a blast making s'mores around the firepit. The beach is just steps away from the back door of the property, which made it nice when one of the grandkids needed to go inside. The property host was very responsive and wanted to ensure we were happy during our stay.

"Cheeseheads" from WI to PCB

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "Tranquility!" The house was as advertised in the listing and the beach access + sunsets were even better than expected. Nelofer was very responsive and easy to deal with. We would definitely stay here again if we return to PCB and we highly recommend it to others.

Oldie But A Goodie

This property was much older than the properties around it, but it had its own little personality. It could use a few upgrades, but It was comfy and convenient. We enjoyed every minute!! I would recommend this to everyone. Owner communication and check in were super easy. It had everything we needed. Will definitely stay again.

Tranquility=Total Relaxation

Loved the location of Tranquility. Our month-long escape from Illinois weather was just that, "Tranquility". Just a few steps from the warm sand and waves of the ocean. The swing facing the ocean was like a front row seat to the most beautiful sunsets, dolphin sightings and even a wedding near the ocean. Loved walking the beach, collecting shells and taking photos every day and a couple nights too. Nice quiet street away from the main traffic to walk our little dog., Lucy. A short drive to local restaurants, flea and craft markets and stores. We would highly recommend this location for your next get away or winter vacation.

Location Location Location

This place was amazing. We stayed at this prime location with our dogs for 33 days and wish it could have been longer. This property in my opinion could not be in a better location in all of Panama City Beach. Walk out of the back porch is the beautiful white beach with a two person swing, which we used every morning to enjoy our coffee and watch the dolphins. When time to relax even more we would jump into the hot tub and listen to some music. Everything needed was within walking distance, such as several really great restaurants, shopping (Walmart) and entertainment of all sorts. Even though we are older we also enjoyed some of the night life. There is a couple dog parks near by, one of which was on the beach at Pier Park, where there is plenty of shops & restaurants. My dogs loved the beach and all the friendly people that gave them attention. We can’t wait to go back there next year & hopefully stay longer.

Wonderful family spot

Easy check in with password, everything we needed was there waiting. The house was very clean throughout. It is an old property with a lot of character and we felt at home as soon as we walked in. There is plenty of sleeping space for everyone in the family. Our ages ranged from 5 to 78. The most wonderful thing is when you open the back door and step on to the patio and the white sandy beach is literally a step away. The view from the house is priceless. This part of the beach is very quiet yet everything you need such as restaurants or grocery stores are just minutes away from the house. I normally stay at the West end of the beach because it is quiet but this little gem has the best of both worlds with peace and convenience. Would definitely return here.

About the host

Hosted by Nelofer Childress

Host profile image
Panama City Beach is our full time home.

Why they chose this property

This property is two separate homes, 'Heart of the Beach' which we live in full time upstairs and 'Tranquility' which we rent to vacationers downstairs. Tranquility was built as a beach cottage in the 1940s. The outside walls and some interior walls are about 2 feet thick concrete! Guess that's why it's lasted through so many hurricanes! The upstairs was built in 1995 by its then owner whom you may have heard of; Lita Ford. She was the lead guitarist for the Runaways in the late 1970s. She and her family lived here for a few years. Neighbors have told us Ozzy Osbourne and others were frequent visitors back then.
