PCB Pet-Friendly 5BR, 145 Steps to the Gulf: Hot Tub, Splash Pad, Sleeps 18 | House in Panama City Beach
5 Bedroom House in Laguna Beach, Panama City Beach
The Sandcastle: 5-Bedroom Pet-Friendly Beach House, 145 Steps to the Gulf, on a Quiet West End Street with First-Floor Bedrooms & Sunset Balconies
The Sandcastle is a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom pet-friendly beach house in Panama City Beach that sleeps 18 guests across three stories, located exactly 145 steps from the Gulf beach access. It sits on a quiet, low-traffic street in PCB's West End, away from the busy strip, with a private hot tub, kids' splash pad, three-story playhouse with swing set, and Gulf sunset views from multiple balconies.
Guests consistently confirm the location in their own words: "Awesome location, walking distance to the beach!" and "Close to the beach with easy beach access." One family put it best: this home is ideal "if you don't mind being away from all the hustle and bustle of the busy strip."
Built for large and multigenerational groups. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are located on the first floor, so grandparents, toddlers, and anyone avoiding stairs never has to climb to the second or third story. Hot water capacity is proven at scale; one group of 13 reported the "showers stayed warm" for their entire party. Dedicated off-street parking sits directly at the house: no parking garages, no shuttles, no daily parking fees.
Walk to everything on the West End. A neighborhood grocery/everything store is one block away (mentioned by guests more than any single amenity), and the beloved Thomas' Donut & Snack Shop is roughly one block from your door. Pier Park, local restaurants, and West End attractions are a short drive.
Inside, bright open living spaces center on a 65" Smart TV, a fully equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, and a dining area that seats the whole group. Evenings end on the balconies ("the sunset views from the balconies were our favorite," as one December guest wrote) or in the bubbling hot tub under the stars.
