"Royal Palms Retreat" | Ocean Views | Dog-Friendly | Steps to the Beach | Community Pool

Welcome to Royal Palms Retreat!

Royal Palms Retreat is a home designed with a great vacation in mind! The house is located in Laguna Beach, between Rosemary Beach and Panama City Beach, directly across the street from a 'reserved beach' where no development is allowed. Laguna Beach is a small laid-back community away from the congestion of PCB or 30a.The house is a great family gathering place with a bright, open floor plan connecting the kitchen, living room, and dining area. Enjoy outdoor gathering spots including a front porch & a lovely back patio area with a charcoal grill on the 1st floor along with a large 2nd floor balcony. The house is pet-friendly as well. With 2,000+ square feet, there is plenty of space for everyone to be together, have time apart & make great beach vacation memories. Enjoy the beautiful emerald waters of our pristine beaches just a quick 3-minute walk away or relax by the pool next to the house.

Sleeping 12, the 3 bedrooms each have a king bed and an ensuite bathroom. On the 1st floor, in addition to the family/living area, there is a spacious king bedroom and bathroom with a walk-in shower. Additionally, there is a comfortable Queen Size memory Foam sleeper sofa in the family room. The spacious 2nd floor master suite has a sitting area and desk/work station. The large master bath has a double sink vanity, a separate spa/soaking tub and shower. There is a private balcony with a lovely beach view. The other 2nd floor bedroom is an over-size 'family suite' which has a king bed with 2 sets of bunk beds with a private, attached bathroom with a shower/tub combination. Before you hit the beach or after a long day in the sun, take a short walk down Front Beach Road to Thomas' Donuts for their amazing donuts, ice cream burgers or sandwiches. Be sure to stop into the award-winning Carousel Supermarket and wine store less than ¼ miles from the house. Nearby entertainment includes: Pier Park, Shipwreck Island Waterpark, Gulf World, The Hub 30A, Destin Commons, SanDestin Outlet Mall, and much more.

Loved our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house has everything you need for a great week. The beds were comfortable and the house was in a great location. The beach was never busy and a short walk across the street. We had friends staying on the same street and a street over so our kids enjoyed meeting on the beach and walking to the donut shop and market. Thanks for a great week!

Excellent, would highly recommend

What a great location and large house! Very comfortable and well equipped. A short 1/2 block from beach. Quiet location as well. The only thing you can hear from the deck are the waves from the gulf!!!

Five stars in paradise

We had the best week of our lives here! It's so close to the beach and the pool is also perfect for our little vacation. It's so close to a great collection of restaurants (highly recommend Thomas' Donuts for a morning pick-me-up)! There's nothing like waking up and seeing the ocean. We also loved the outdoor space and spent some time cooking up some fish and steak on the grill. We definitely will recommend this to other people and can't wait to return!

Perfect Spring Getaway

Beautiful beach home! Loved there were 2 King rooms, both with bathrooms. Very short walk to the beach. Was also nice having the pool so close-the kids were ready to jump in right after breakfast :) We had a few hiccups involving the cable tv and the bbq grill, which were resolved super quick. Would rent again.

Great beach vacation house!

This house was awesome! It had everything our family needed for a great vacation. It was so nice to have the pool next to the house & the beach a 2 minute walk away. So much easier for us, the kids & grandma! The house had a full size washer & a grill which was must for us. It was great to have the downstairs bedroom/bath for my mom. I wish we could have stayed longer. Hope we can stay here again next year!

There were 6 of us from all over and we had not seen each other for several years. The house was a perfect place for all of us to get reacquainted.

Many thanks from all of us, we will come back! MANAGEMENT RESPONSE Hey Paula! Thank you for taking a moment to let us know how your stay went at "Royal Palms Retreat".

I look forward to coming back with the whole family.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Royal Palms Retreat on a tranquil and stunning part of the beach. Iit was an absolute delight! The rental had everything one could possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The first thing that caught my attention was the impeccable cleanliness and tidiness of the space. It was evident that great care had been taken to ensure that every nook and cranny was spotless. The beds were incredibly comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep after a day of fun in the sun. The rental was thoughtfully furnished with all the necessary amenities. The kitchen was well-equipped with modern appliances, making it a breeze to prepare meals. The living area was spacious and tastefully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. One of the highlights of this rental was its location. Situated on a quiet part of the beach, I was able to enjoy the serenity and tranquility that I was seeking. The beach itself was simply breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters and powdery white sand. It was the perfect place to unwind and soak up the natural beauty of the surroundings. In addition to its fantastic location and well-appointed interior, the rental also had a lovely shared pool area, but with the ocean so close I did not partake. Overall, my experience at this beach rental was nothing short of exceptional. From the comfortable beds to the well-equipped kitchen and the serene location, every aspect of my stay exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Royal Palms Retreat to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable beach getaway.

Lovely house and great beach

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was very nicely decorated and well stocked for our family. You can tell that the owners take pride in making it a nice vacation home. We really liked having the fenced in backyard area for our dog too. The beach is so close and it's probably the prettiest beach I've ever seen! This area of PCB had a lot for us to do and see. It was a great vacation.

Cute house in an excellent location close to the beach. Nice layout and well maintained with no issues. Nice, big pool to cool off in and you can grill and chill on the back deck. The beach is beautiful, the weather was great, and we enjoyed fresh made donuts and ice cream down the street. Will gladly visit again!

50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration

We rented the Royal Palms and the Beach Witch next door to accommodate 17 family members from three generations. We had plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to cook in several times for the entire group. We encountered one problem when we moved in on Saturday afternoon, where the shelving in one of the bedrooms collapsed when my adult daughter started to hang up her clothes. We called the Paradise office on Sunday morning and actually reached a person. A repairman was dispatched the same day and fixed the problem by mid-afternoon. The back patio, the adjacent swimming pool and the short walk to the beach all made t our stay a pleasant one. MANAGEMENT RESPONSE Hi Ken! Thank you so much for taking a moment to leave us an honest review of your families' experience during your stay at "Royal Palms Retreat" in Panama City Beach, Florida. Apologies about the closet shelf, glad we were able to swoop over and fix it right up for ya ("cheers" to the unexpected, right)?! This house is absolutely one of our favorite accommodations due to its prime location directly across from the beach and the large community pool - and how amazing it is that you were able to have extended family stay right next door as well! FAMILY, VACATION, POOL, BEACH - nothing beats that experience! We're glad that you had a wonderful time, and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay in the future! -Paradise Team

Fantastic Girls Getaway at Royal Palms Retreat

Just came home from a perfect long weekend with close friends and the perfect home to relax and get away. Royal Palms is just steps away from the beautiful white sand of Laguna beach in the Florida panhandle. The water was crystal clear and the waves were great fun. Royal Palms was immaculate and we had plenty of space to hang out in the house or pool or simply go for a walk to explore the area. Great home MANAGEMENT RESPONSE Hi Cindy! So glad to hear from another member of the eventful Girls Trip in April!

Weekend in Paradise

Recently spent the most wonderful girls getaway at the Royal Palms Retreat. The home is warm and welcoming, well maintained and appointed. Did not lack for anything. The bed was extremely cozy. Slept so well! The location is ideal. Steps from the most beautiful and tranquil beach. Turquoise, clear waters and magnificent sunsets. Close to supermarkets, fun restaurants and delish donut shop!. Would highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.
