Adjacent to St. Andrews State Park, the 7-mile long barrier island of Shell Island is completely undeveloped, which means it has some of the most pristine white sands in all of the Florida Panhandle! Marine life is plentiful and dolphins are common in this area, too.
Since you can only reach Shell Island via water, you’ll need to either kayak, book a jet ski or boat tour, or take the Shell Island Shuttle. (We did the jet ski tour.)
You’ll find the Shell Island Shuttle at Adventure at Sea, located at 5709 N. Lagoon Drive in Panama City Beach. It leaves every half-hour from 9am to 5pm in the summer and the last shuttle out is at 3pm.
We were very pleased with our stay at the property at inlet beach. Our host Eric was very helpful and gave clear, prompt communication during our visit. The home was clean and comfortable for our family of 5. We loved having use of the golf cart to visit the beach which was a quick trip down the street. The home was close to restaurants, shopping, grocery store and just about anything needed. We cant wait to return and would recommend this property if you are considering a trip near the 30a area.
We had a wonderful stay in Eric’s place in Baytowne. The condo was beautiful and the views of the bay was so pretty. Everything we needed was there. Eric was a wonderful host. Checking in on us
through our stay to see if we had any issues or needing anything. Best host we’ve ever had.
This was our second time staying at this Baypine cottage. We highly recommend Rentals by Eric. Having such a relaxing visit, we extended our stay additional days. Eric provides top self service and his property is immaculate. Thank you Eric. We look forward to booking additional trips in the future.
Eric was easy and fast. The condo was clean and well equipped. It was a great week and we played mediocre at great courses. I’d come stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks Eric
Eric’s condo located in San Destin is an excellent spot for a golf trip. The condo has plenty of space and a relaxing porch overlooking the bay. There are several golf courses located in the community and the wharf is a short walk. We will be coming back again next year.
