Silver Sands Getaway: three blocks to the beach, a heated pool at home
A 4-bedroom family beach house in Panama City Beach, Florida. Sleeps 10 with 3 bathrooms, a private heated pool, a fenced backyard and a shed full of beach gear, about a 5-minute walk to Beach Access 16.
Silver Sands Getaway is located in the Lower Lagoon area of PCB, a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood on the east end of Panama City Beach, Florida. You get the convenience of a short walk to the sugar-white sand without paying the premium that beachfront homes charge.
Spend the morning building sandcastles and playing in the emerald-green water, then walk home for a swim in your own heated pool. Families spend less time planning and packing and more time making memories together, across every generation.
Your own pool, heated year-round at no extra charge and cleaned twice a week. After dark, the color-changing lights turn every swim into the highlight of the trip for the kids.
The propane grill sits right by the pool, so whoever is cooking doesn’t miss the fun. Parents can keep an eye on swimmers from the patio loungers or the primary suite balcony.
The shed out back is packed with everything for a day on the sand. Load the wagon, walk three blocks, and set up camp. Back home, there’s a cornhole set for the yard.
Backpack beach chairs, umbrellas, wagon and cooler
Beach Access 16 is about 0.3 miles from the front door, roughly a 5-minute walk. Families with lots of little ones often drive the 2 minutes and park at the access, then walk back and forth all day.
Silver Sands Getaway sleeps 10 guests in 4 bedrooms with 7 beds and 3 full bathrooms. One bedroom and bathroom are on the first floor, ideal for grandparents.

“We traveled with my mom and teen. The accommodations are perfect for togetherness and privacy! The master up and balcony was perfect for my husband and I, and my mom having space downstairs was perfect, easy for her to manage herself.”

“We loved the heated pool which made our February trip so much better. There was so much beach gear that we did not have to pack our own… The grill by the pool made it easy for my husband to grill but enjoy the pool at the same time.”

“Being on the quieter east end of PCB gave us a relaxing home base while keeping us close to everything… The beach wagon, chairs, towels, and cooler were a huge convenience. The private heated pool was another highlight!”

“Such a beautiful home for our first of many ‘cousin vacations.’ … The shed had more than enough beach chairs and floats for our party. The wagon was a plus. The baby accommodations were perfect for my toddler.”

Nicole and her husband Matt are Airbnb Superhosts who built Silver Sands Getaway for the kind of beach trip they take with their own kids. The house is fully stocked, from beach towels and baby gear to toiletries and board games, so you don’t have to pack it.
Guests rate their check-in and communication a perfect 5.0. Nicole sends local tips before you arrive, Matt keeps the house in top shape, and they’re quick to respond whenever you need them.
