Dog Friendly, Private Pool, Close to the Beach + Free Attraction Tickets!

Looking to get away from it all, while being in the middle of it? Need a place that feels like home for kids, grandparents, couples, teenagers and doggies, too? Experience Leo’s Hideaway, a dog-friendly beach retreat in Laguna Beach, FL (Panama City Beach) with a Private pool (with option to heat), Screened porch and large, Fenced yard, with gulf and lake views.
 
This is truly a family retreat where you can be steps from the action, but also feel completely insulated with your own travel group. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom beach cottage is very private. Leo’s Hideaway is tucked away at the end of a long palm tree-lined driveway. Relax on the large screened-in porch overlooking your private pool, fenced back yard and Lake Pierna. Listen to the waves as you have coffee in the morning or watching the sunset. There are also Gulf views from the porch!

Once inside the property, everyone will immediately find their own space and make themselves at home. It’s easy to settle in, with everything at your fingertips in this open floor plan. Choose between a king bedroom with a dedicated full bathroom, 2 queen bedrooms, or a cool hidden bunk room in the hallway with a set of twin-over-twin bunks! There is an additional full bathroom accessible to the other bedrooms.

Located on the quiet west end of Panama City Beach, FL in Laguna Beach, this beach cottage is proof that location means everything! 0.1 mile to the Gorgeous emerald waters and white sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, 0.2 mile to Carousel Supermarket and 0.2 mile to Thomas’ Donuts!

The living area is equipped with comfortable loungers and sofa, along with a 55” Smart TV. The living area leads out to the screened-in porch, which has more comfortable furniture and a dining table for four. The fully-equipped kitchen, which is completely open to the living area, has an island with 4 bar stools, so the whole gang can hang out while preparing snacks for the beach or dinner for the family.  

Leo’s Hideaway is also just 3.8 miles to Pier Park, with lots of shopping, dining, and entertainment options, 4 miles to Publix or Winn-Dixie, and 7 miles to Rosemary Beach, FL. You can experience everything Scenic 30A has to offer for a fraction of the cost of staying in Rosemary, Watercolor, or Seaside. Plus, you can retreat to your quiet oasis after you have had your fill of the crowds. Challenge friends at Top Golf or be dazzled by the swashbuckling fun at the Pirate’s Dinner Show. With so much to see and do, every moment in Panama City Beach is an adventure waiting to happen. Enjoy 4 backpack beach chairs, and 2 umbrellas, along with lots of privacy, making Leo's Hideaway your perfect vacation experience! We look forward to welcoming you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Leo's Hideaway! We spent a lot of time in that amazing pool and our pups Buddy and Taffy loved the huge yard. The screened in porch was a great spot to get out of the sun for a bit and I even set up my laptop to get some work done out there. The house had everything we needed for a great week! Can't wait to stay there again!

Very convenient to grocery and the beach being walking distance!!My only recommendation is seating around fire pit needs replaced as many chairs were broken. And maybe not every chair out there be an Adirondack type, not comfy for fire pit!The pool was amazing!

Family Summer stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The place is in a perfect location and the we found it to be very clean. The beds were all comfortable. Just know the bathrooms are small. One is so small you can barely move in it. We had issues with having hot water and thought it was resolved but it would still come and go. Which is annoying. Two chairs by the fire pit were broken and one by the pool was too. There were plenty of chairs to use to take to the beach, but there were a lot of junky chairs and rusty wagons that just need to be removed from the back yard. The pool was the perfect size and just lovely. Overall we had a great trip minus the hot water issue which was attempted to be fixed.

Great Family Getaway at Leo’s Hideaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was as described in the description. Easy lock to enter the house. The house was very clean. I had expected it to possibly have a pet odor since it is a pet friendly place. There was no pet odor at all and the place was spotless. The location was a big plus. The Carousel grocery store is behind the property. You can see the beach and beautiful green space behind this property’s fenced in yard. Thomas Donuts is in walking distance which we enjoyed on a couple of occasions. The pool was perfect for the whole family especially for the grandkids. We all enjoyed the open space of the backyard where kids had fun running around and playing. We felt like we had our own private space. The gas grill was a wonderful convenience the first night we arrived for grilling hamburgers and hotdogs. We will consider staying at this place again for another family beach vacation.

Hidden Gem in Laguna Beach

This house is amazing!! We loved our stay at Leo's Hideaway. The pool is awesome, with very nice chairs and pool toys, and the yard is huge with a great fire pit and chairs. The beach is so close to the house, and the road you cross to get to the beach was easy to cross. The beach was absolutely beautiful, with clear water and white sand, and we didn't find it to be too busy as it is located a good distance away from all the big hotels. The location is great, being steps to the beach, donut shop, and small grocery store and liquor store which both had surprisingly good prices. We loved so many things about this house, other than the fantastic location. The grill was very large and had 2 propane tanks. The screened in porch was such a nice area to sit and have dinner. The beds were super comfy, and the bunkbeds were great for the kids. The house was equipped with SO MANY towels, and had a good variety of kitchen items. The beach cart, beach umbrellas, and beach chairs were great quality and in excellent condition. We did have an issue with the dryer, but the property management team responded to us right away, and sent someone out to fix it within a couple of hours. We loved our stay at Leo's Hideaway, and would definitely return in the future. What a fantastic property!

Beachy retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Visited at the end of April with my family (2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 young kids age 2 and 4). What a nice little escape. Right across the street from the beach, a nice heated pool and huge backyard, also set far back from the road which was really nice. We liked the location a lot because it wasn’t far from Panama City and just a short drive to places like Rosemary beach and seaside. The beds were comfortable. Our favorite area was the back porch. Enjoyed eating our meals back there. The pool was nice, it has a little shelf for sitting in the water and for little ones to play without being too deep. The common area was small for our family of 6, just a small kitchen/family room combo, so we didn’t spend a ton of time in the house hanging out. Also just a heads up, the fire alarm is in the kitchen, so if you create any smoke (think bacon or burgers or even sauteeing veggies), it’ll get set off. We would just flap a towel under the alarm and it would stop chiming; also cooking with the door open helped too. Just some house quirks. Nothing that would prevent us from returning. Overall, had a lovely stay and would return again when in the area next.

This was a great place for my family to stay with our two dogs. They are large German shorthaired pointers and we’re allowed to stay at this house. There is a giant backyard for them to play in a beautiful swimming pool. The only thing negative I can say about this property is that the living room is rather small. The check-in and checkout process were very easy, and the benchmark partners were very communicative before and after my stay.

Great little Hideaway in a great location

The house was perfectly located near the beach by about a 2 min walk from the beach. It is tucked back where you enjoy privacy with a great pool and fenced in backyard for our dog. A nice screened in porch good for eating or just relaxing. The house was very clean. This is a great little spot and we will be staying here again.
