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.
Our 2nd time renting and I can’t enough great things! Our stay was wonderful! The place was clean, full of everything we needed and perfect for our family. Added bonus was all the turtles in the back, the kids loved watching them. I love how close everything was with so much to do for everyone. Can’t wait to plan our next trip!!
Eric was wonderful to work with in booking this house. House was beautiful and exactly as described. The two golfs carts were an added bonus in addition being able to bring pets is a plus. Will definitely book this home again.
We loved staying in the 3bed 3 bath condo with two adults and two kids. Lots of space and appreciated that it is located on the corner overlooking the bay. The quiet patio was one of our favorite features! We also enjoyed using free passes for the tram! The walk to Baytown Wharf is just a few minutes away. We loved that the community is gated and so beautiful! We would definitely stay here again.
We loved this fun 2 story house! It was clean, equipped with everything and as always has the best extras. (Dish soap, laundry soap, and even stain remover) The sunsets over the golf course are beautiful. It is close to everything! (Beach, bay, golf course, shopping, 3 pools, activities, marina, tennis and more) The 2 golf carts made it so easy to get around. Eric is great to work with. This was our 2nd stay with him and we will book again soon!
We stayed in the BayPine property in Sandestin. Excellent communications throughout our stay and attention to detail. Beautiful home, very clean and comfortable. We will be back!
