Guests will enjoy full access to the entire house, which includes a private balcony exclusively for their use. It is important to note that as a duplex, the central balconies and courtyard are shared common areas with the adjacent unit.

 

I won’t be available in person, and prefer communicating through the app.

 

GRAND LAGOON

The east end of Panama City Beach places you in the Grand Lagoon area where the beach is just a short walk and you have easy access to access untouched nature plus outstanding dining and attractions. With the Grand Lagoon region being known as the Gateway to the Gulf, it’s only fitting for you to stay in a location where you can truly appreciate this water wonderland.

 

STATE PARK

Visit one of the best state parks Florida has to offer. Saint Andrews State Park is the perfect place to swim, snorkel or surf while on vacation. Visitors can stroll through the different trails and along the beautiful dunes. There is an $8 entry fee which allows you access to the park until sunset.

 

DOLPHIN TOURS

One of the most popular attractions is the different dolphin tours available. Choose between a variety of tour boats that take visitors out on the water to see these magical creatures up close.

 

WATER ACTIVITIES

You will find no shortage of water activities to do while in PCB. Hop on a pontoon boat to Shell Island, take a surf lesson from pros, or rent a clear bottom kayak for an illuminating after-dark experience.

 

BUS

Public transportation runs Monday through Saturday through the Bay Town Trolley bus system. Bay Town Trolley provides an affordable and reliable way to travel.

 

BOAT RENTALS

My favorite way to get around is by boat! There is no better way to see what PCB has to offer than to rent a boat and explore the Gulf of Mexico. Down the street off the lagoon, there are many operators that can provide you with the perfect rental to meet your needs.

 

GOLF CART RENTALS

Golf carts can be a great way to get around the city. You can rent one and take it to the beach, grab food, or cruise the strip.

 

◘ RENTAL AGREEMENT

To finalize your reservation, we require a signed rental agreement. This confirms you understand and agree to all policies. Without it, the booking will be canceled.

 

◘ TRAVEL INSURANCE

Travel Insurance is highly recommended: There are NO REFUNDS for transportation disruptions, event cancellation, unexpected illness or injury, weather or natural conditions, jury duty or court appearances, or any unforeseen events beyond our control or responsibility.

 

◘ QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD

We're in a peaceful residential area—please help us keep it that way! No parties, loud music, or disruptive behavior. Sound carries easily by the beach, especially at night. Quiet hours are from 10 PM to 7 AM.

 

◘ NO SMOKING OR VAPING

For everyone's comfort, smoking and vaping are not allowed anywhere on the property—including balconies, driveway, yard, or around the pool.

 

◘ NO PETS ALLOWED

Pets are not allowed. Please do not book and then ask to bring one. Service animals are, of course, welcome. Emotional support animals are not service animals per ADA guidelines. Misrepresentation of a pet as a service animal is illegal and will be reported.

 

◘ NO UNREGISTERED GUESTS OR VISITORS

Only guests listed on the reservation are allowed on the property. Visitors must be approved in advance. At no time may the number of people on the property—including visitors—exceed the maximum occupancy limit.

 

◘ STARTER SUPPLIES

We’ve stocked the home with a starter kit of laundry pods, dishwasher detergent, and toiletries to get you going. For longer stays, you might need to pick up a few extras.

 

◘ BAY COUNTY NOISE ORDINANCE

Please keep noise to a minimum, especially at night. Any sound audible from 200 feet away or inside a neighboring closed home between 10 PM and 7 AM is prohibited. Violations may result in fines or legal penalties—which are the guest’s responsibility.

 

◘ SEPTIC SYSTEM

Our beach house uses a septic system. Only flush toilet paper—no wipes, paper towels, grease, oil, or chemicals down the drains. It helps keep everything running smoothly!

 

◘ TRASH SERVICE

Trash pickup is on Monday and Thursday mornings. Please bag all trash and roll the bin to the curb the night before to avoid being missed.

 

◘ BEACH SAFETY

For your safety and to protect local wildlife, please follow the beach flag warning system, rip current alerts, and sea turtle protection guidelines. Double red flags mean the beach is closed—violations may result in fines or legal penalties, which are the guest’s responsibility.

 

◘ POOL RULES

There is no lifeguard on duty—please swim at your own risk. Rinse off before entering. No food, glass, pets, diving, running, or rough play allowed. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. Do not tamper with pool equipment or the pool alarm.

 

◘ POOL HEATING

Pool heating is available from October through April, set to 85°F. It’s $100 per day and must be arranged and paid for before check-in.

 

◘ GAS GRILL

Feel free to fire up the grill! We provide one propane tank. If you need more during your stay, you’ll need to purchase additional propane locally. Please use the grill safely and responsibly.

 

◘ ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER

A Grizzl-E Level 2 (240V / 40A) Electric Vehicle (EV) charger is available for guest use at no additional cost. Please bring the appropriate adapter for your specific vehicle. Use the charger only as intended and at your own risk.

Why our guests

LOVE STAYING HERE

The house was very nice and just as described.The kitchen is smaller than expected & there is no pantry space so all groceries have to sit on the counters.The game room is a separate room outside of the main house, you have to go outside to access it.. The floors were filthy upon arrival. I'm not talking about sand, our feet were black within 10 minutes of walking barefoot. We had to buy house shoes the floors were so dirty. The 3rd floor master bed had sand in between the flat and fitted sheet the first night we arrived. When I messaged the host, I received a response that we got the bed dirty by allowing kids to jump on the bed or putting our luggage on the bed. Neither of those happened, it was not washed before we arrived. The house was beautiful, the hosts were very responsive but it was not very clean at all upon arrival. The house is well stocked with washing detergent, dishwasher pods, trash bags & toilet paper. AC worked perfectly and a box fan is provided in every room.

We absolutely loved this home. So many games and activities. The pool area and backyard was so much fun for our family. The hosts did an amazing job making sure we were taken care of and the location was wonderful with easy public beach access. We loved everything about our stay. Such a fun place and loved the melon theme throughout the unit. Five stars all day long and if we ever go back to Panama area we will stay again. Thank you

We had a great time and it was very convenient to have a pool in the yard as well as close proximity to the beach. Michael was super responsive and accommodating including getting a high chair to us after the one in the unit turned out to be damaged.

Our family had a fantastic stay at this property! The pictures and amenities listed are ideal and a good representation of what you think to expect, however, it’s EVEN BETTER in person. The proximity to so many great things, comfortable mattresses, nice linens, great kitchen gear, a tea and coffee station, beautiful/fun decor, and an all-around cool place where you can tell they put a lot of thought and care in for visitors. Thank you for a place that made for amazing family memories, Michael! We appreciate the place, and your seamless communication and process. cheers!

My family and friends travel a lot either for work or softball tournaments. This is by far the best house we’ve stayed in Panama City. Just like the pictures. Home had everything needed for our weekend stay. We definitely enjoyed the pool. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful time at One in a Melon! The patio and pool was a big hit for our 6 kiddos! The house looks exactly like the pictures! We were extremely pleased! Sand toys, floats for the pool or ocean, a wagon to haul stuff to the beach and backyard activities! Easy 5 min walk to beach access #2! Michael was very responsive and was always checking in! Would definitely recommend!

close to the beach as stated in description. walking distance to restaurants. I recommend Shooners. Lots of room for occupancy listed. Comfortable living space. Micheal was very informative and responsive. Our family had a great vacation

We stayed for a girls weekend and had a lot of fun. The house is well decorated, the pool is great and it is located about a 5 minute walk across streets to the beach. Some suggestions would be to bring your own trash bags and hand soap. Our neighbors gave us that advice when we checked in because they also had to purchase those items. We had a back door that we had an issue with that Michael communicated well for but could not send anyone to ensure it was fixed during our stay. On checkout day we woke up to the A/C setting of 78 degrees (which we could not change) and were told that it was due to lack of movement inside (we were asleep) and that it was an auto setting that could not be changed. Overall, the home decor, pool, and location to the beach & Schooners is great. For the price, we were expecting to not purchase those items or deal with those issues for a quick trip.

Nice house. We enjoyed the pool as well. But definitely need a privacy fence.
Veronica Chenoweth
July 2024
Our family of 10 enjoyed staying at One in a Melon! The beach is just a 5min walk! We used Beach Access 2 every time, away from the bar crowds further down by Shooners. That side of the beach, closer to St. Andrew's State Park, was less crowded for sure, and totally family-friendly! I think the pool area was our favorite place to hang out at the house, especially when we couldn't go in the Gulf because of double red flags. The reasons why we didn't give this place an overall 5-star review is because the photos show the house bigger than what it actually is, especially in the living room, (though we can tell that Michael thought of everything and ensured there were enough chairs and stools for all), the lack of a fan in one of the bedrooms, a faulty fence by the pool, and some other minor details. Overall, we can tell Michael wants to spoil his guests, and we appreciated that!

Had a great week with my entire family… we split the bill between all of us and was a great experience would definitely recommend anyone I talk to to stay at one in a melon Thanks for a great place to stay summer of 2024

June 2024
This place really was "One in a Melon" . Our family enjoyed the space and amenities of this home. The pool was amazing and we never wanted to get out. The beach access wasn't a hard walk for us. We didn't mind the drive up near Pier Park area and appreciated the closeness to grocery stores and St Andrews State Park. The balconies are spacious and give a nice quiet place to unwind after a day on the beach. We would definitely stay again!
Kaylah Cole
June 2024
Fascinating home! Home is as described in profile. Photos are accurate. Location is great. Not crowded and away from all the hustle and bustle. Short walk to the beach. All in all my family and I really enjoyed the private pool and many other amenities and activities the hoe had to offer. Very beautiful home.

Michel's place is truly spectacular, one in a million. The house is a dream come true with very comfortable beds. The pool and patio area were very relaxing, and the house is well-equipped with everything you could need. Michel is the best host and responds immediately to any questions. The house has plenty of information available, and the safety measures are fantastic. By the way, your shampoo and conditioner are amazing—what's your secret? Lol. Overall, thank you so much for an incredible stay! Your home and hospitality deserve a 5-star rating.

We had an incredible stay at Michael’s “One in a Melon”! We traveled from Tennessee & it was well worth the drive. The house is so close to St. Andrews State park so we enjoyed two days there, if you’ve never been.. GO! The house was beautiful, the yard was incredible, beds were so comfortable and the fans in each room….WE LOVED! The grill, the beach wagon, sand toys, water hose at the front door and outdoor shower in the back.. there’s nothing Michael didn’t think of! The pool was a life saver when we were ready to get off the beach but still enjoy the sunny weather. We also got to PCB on a day that it was double red flags so our kids were only disappointed for a second and then they realized we had a pool! There are two Sunsations close ( you can literally see both from the house),a Dollar General a couple blocks down & Walmart is about 10ish minutes away. Beach access 7 is right across from the house but we used #11 for parking. We can’t say rave about this place enough!

The pool was super cool and the place was super clean. Make sure you bring toilet paper and paper towels though. It was pretty hot and the ac had a minimum of 70 degrees though great time with friends made it all worth it.
