SPRING BREAK – IMPORTANT
Panama City Beach is currently proposing a city ordinance that would require all vacation rental guests to be 21 years of age or older, unless staying as part of a family. The primary renter and all guests must be 21+, with ID verification required prior to check-in. Hosts are required to enforce this policy and no exceptions can be made.
No smoking inside the home. If you smoke outside, it must be 10 feet away from all doors and windows, and guests are expected to pick up cigarette butts/smoking messes.
No events, parties, weddings, wedding receptions, large group “dinners”, or other large gatherings are allowed. If you plan on having other guests over, they must be included in your total guest count and may not exceed the maximum occupancy of the home. Review additional rules for more info.
No outside guests allowed at any time. Please contact host if you would like someone added to the reservation for liability purposes.
Children must never be left unattended.
Dogs are OK with a fee (must be paid) but are not allowed in the home alone without being in a crate/kennel nor on furniture or beds. Guests are expected to pick up ALL pet messes inside and out. Pet fee does not cover pet messes.

The cancellation policy for your booking is determined by the platform through which you made your reservation.
