Pelican Circle 30A Beach Bungalow

LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!

PRIVATE BEACH PLUS EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR A FUSS-FREE, LOW-KEY VACATION. You'll have everything you need to feel comfortable and at home inside, and the very best of 30A beaches outside - no fighting for beach space since the beach is completely private. You're also in the heart of 30A so everything is accessible by bike.

Now, more about your stay:
Lay out on your private beach in the morning. Kayak in your backyard on the rare coastal dunes lake of Camp Creek in the afternoon. Wind down the day on your private dock, just in time to see the sun set on 30A's sugar sand dunes.

This fully renovated modern bungalow features modern appliances and furniture designed for low-key guests who like easy, convenient, and fuss-free beach vacations.

The best part, however, is the location. You're steps away from your own private beach, making it easy to set up for the day, then walk back for lunch or snacks. If you prefer fishing, paddleboarding, or kayaking, walk outside in your backyard--this home is lakefront with its own private dock and paddleboard/kayak launch on Camp Creek Lake, a rare coastal dune that breaches (opens) into the ocean. Located SOUTH of 30A (which means no busy roads to cross) in a safe, quiet neighborhood, your kids can ride bikes around the circle or catch the 30A bike path to nearby Seaside, Alys, Watersound, or Rosemary Beach.

We designed the home to accommodate two families. There are two master suites with KING beds--one upstairs, one down. Each features lakefront views, sliding doors to the backyard, full baths with double vanities (tub/shower), and TVs.

The downstairs bunk room has 2 FULL (top) and 2 QUEEN (bottom) bunk beds. A third hall bathroom is adjacent to the bunk room with double vanities, full-size washer/dryer, and tub/shower. The hall bunker features 2 additional TWIN bunk beds. Every bedroom has a 55" television for streaming your own services.

The living area is upstairs with a combined living room/kitchen area with comfy, oversized sectional sofa and chairs, 55" television, kitchen island, dining table with removable leaf, and all the kitchen amenities you want and need while on vacation. Plus, there is a gas grill for outdoor barbecues.

All bikes, surfboards, and paddle boards are available through nearby retailers. Anything on property or left by prior renters is used at your own risk. We can provide retailers if requested.

Overview:
*Lakefront views
*Steps to beach (private access; see location map)
*3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, hall bunker

Fantastic Spring Break

This home was perfect for blending two families. The adults had separate space and the cousins loved sharing the bunk room. The large comfy spaces were perfect for our group of 10. So many amenities and easy access to the beach inside the neighborhood.

Just the little getaway that my family needed. Throughly enjoyed our time and the house. The dune lake access was a major bonus, my husband, my self and our 3 daughters loved it. Heidi was a pleasure to work with and was so helpful on anything that was needed. We can’t wait to come back again sometime.

Pleasant stay around Panama City beaches (Alys Beach)

It was a very pleasant stay, we stayed there for a night and everything was well organized. Host is very prompt in answering your question and doubts. It would be better if we can keep the backyard bit cleaner too. It was full of leaves.

Quiet neighborhood

We enjoyed our stay, although it looks like a long walk to the beach, it’s actually quite quick. Most of it was shaded which was nice for the high 90’s we experienced that week. We enjoyed the kayaks and my son loved the surf board. He spent most of the week learning to catch a wave. Hope to return next year, thank you.

Bachelorette Party

We were mesmerized by how whimsical and cozy each room felt. All the ladies slept beautifully in their beds. The private neighborhood access provided a breath taking view of the sun setting on the ocean. We were lucky enough to witness a full moon over the ocean during our stay. The town was charming and we honestly couldn't say enough kind things about the host. Thank you for allowing us to occupy your property during this very special time.

Great Property!

The property and location is amazing. Property manager was very helpful, kind and prompt. I would like to see them add more utensils and other kitchen items (eating utensils are almost all gone, need pizza cutter and additional spatulas). That would be a great addition/change I would make. We have stayed in Pelican Circle for 7 years and will definitely be back. I’m excited about the renovation being made.

Perfect Property for Families!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this lovely property. Well appointed accommodations with everything you need for a perfect vacation. We loved the location as it was close enough to restaurants and entertainment venues (The Hub is just a five minute bike ride away), but still very private and away from the typically crowded "beach scene" of surrounding areas. The private dock on the lake is FANTASTIC as we were able to kayak/paddle board from the house to the beach every morning. The beach is pristine and private; a welcomed respite from the overcrowded beaches of four row deep chairs. Absolutely perfect. The house is tastefully decorated with modern decor without being fussy so the entire family--including pets--can enjoy the amenities and relax in an upscale property as if it's your own and not a rental. The added amenities of kayaks and bikes is a rarity and provide many opportunities for hours of family fun. The owners were so EASY to work with and I felt were genuinely concerned with our happiness and needs during our stay. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to stay there again for many years to come!

How could it get much better!!!

This rental is one of the best we have ever stayed in! The house is so adorable. It's equipped with EVERYTHING you need to have an awesome vacation. The neighborhood is safe for kids to ride bikes around without the worry of traffic from 30A. Speaking of bikes....their are 6 bikes, 3 kayaks, a SUP and a surfboard for beach and lake use. The toys were an amazing amenity to the property. Sitting on the dock in the morning drinking coffee with the sunrise and again at night with wine and a fire for sunset was just awesome. We've not been able to have all these amenities without lots of extra rental fees and set up in the past. You'll feel spoiled! The Hub is less than a mile away for happy hour and music and don't forget your right in the middle of 30A! Head to Rosemary or Seaside for shopping and lunch. The beach......beautiful and super easy to get to. The advertisement does not lie when they say how easy it is. 100% Impressed! Will rent again if it's available.

Extremely disappointing

There was no toilet paper for our group of 9 women! When I reached out to the host she told me she'd get in touch with housekeeping but I never heard back - we had to DoorDash toilet paper at our expense. One of the 'beds' is just a mattress on the floor! built to look like a bunk bed. After I returned home she charged me 300 for damage without any proof, picture or receipt for repairs. After three calls and hours of my time to VRBO Customer Service over the course of 2 weeks I got no resolution. Despite her being non-responsive to their repeated attempts to contact her they let the charge stand! I will NEVER rent from VRBO again; they care NOTHING about the guest, only the host. I am lobbying the owner of the 4 properties I manage on VRBO to remove the listings from this platform.

Will come back to 30a but not at this house

The beach was beautiful. House was ok. Three of our six days we had to wait on maintenance. Light broken in the bathroom, air conditioning not working properly and the pipes broke (which we kindly let them know about however maintenance left broken deck boards and screws everywhere to be stepped on). Upon leaving we did everything on the check out list however we were charged an extra cleaning fee because the blackest needed to be washed. Silly me to assume blankets got cleaned after each trip. Guess that explains the cockroaches. Trash cans completely full from previous guests. Storage closet had to be completely cleaned to find chairs left for use. Gas was available in the grill, but the grill didn’t work. One of the kayaks leaked leaving my brother in law struggling in the water. So many other options for places to stay, will not chose this place next time.
