Directly on the Beautiful Beach & Gulf Water!

Beach & ocean lovers, this is your happy place destination!
Pirate Cove Villas is located in the highly sought after "West End" of Panama City Beach!
Park your vehicle right outside the front door, with no stairs, & no steps, or elevators.
Open the front door & walk directly to the back door slider and onto the private Patio.
From the beachside patio, walk directly onto the white sugary-sandy beach & let it squish between your toes. Catch some sun-rays while walking, sunning, or playing on the beach!
When you're ready to get wet, keep walking on the sand a few more feet and you'll be in the beautiful emerald waters of the Gulf of America. You decide, whether it’s; swimming, floating, kayaking, snorkeling, jet skiing, catamaran, paddle boarding, fishing, etc., the beach waters are ready for you to have fun!

Downstairs you’ll find: front patio, 1/2 bath, laundry area, kitchen, dining, living areas, beachside patio, the backyard is the white sandy beach & the emerald waters of the Gulf.

Walk upstairs to enjoy the two bedrooms, & each includes a private ensuite. The main bedroom has a private balcony overlooking the sandy beach and Gulf of America.

Bring or rent: snorkels; scuba diving equipment; jet ski; kayak: catamaran, paddle board; bicycles; motorcycles; etc.!

You'll be in a quiet, safe, family-oriented area, but yet close enough to participate in as many activities as you would like.

If you decide to take a drive:
-- about 6 miles to the Frank Brown Park, where ballgames, concerts, indoor & outdoor pools, and other activities are held on a regular basis
-- about 7 miles driving East from my townhome to Pier Park, to enjoy shopping galore, numerous restaurants, concerts, movie theaters; games & rides; fishing off the Pier, and a wide range of other events.
-- short drive to great golf courses: the Holiday Golf Club - 9 miles, the Hombre Golf Club - 12 miles, and the Signal Hill Golf Club - 13 miles.
-- pack your cooler and some chairs to: visit St. Andrew State Park, take a fishing trip; swim with the dolphins; watch the deep sea fishing boats coming in each afternoon at Treasure Island Marina, with boats full of fish
-- 3 miles from my townhome; going west on Panama City Beach Parkway: 30A with shopping; restaurants; events; turn left at Shades Bar & Grill (across the street from the Donut Hole)
-- 25 miles from my townhome; going west on Panama City Beach Parkway: The Silver Sands Outlet Mall with shopping & restaurants

For Bikers and Bike lovers, we're conveniently located a few miles from Pier Park, the Harley Davidson Dealership, and the Indian Dealership, for the upcoming events during Thunder Beach week. There's normally a great display of the beautiful bikes at the Dealerships & at Pier Park

Such an amazing place!

Everything about this place is amazing! The location is perfect, open the back door and you’re on a beautiful private beach, it wasn’t crowded at all which is why we chose this place. The sunsets here are stunning, with white sands and clear water, it’s hard to leave the beach. The house has everything you need for your stay, the owner is extremely nice and is happy to hear about the great time you had at her place. I can’t recommend this place enough, if we come back to this area, we are definitely staying here again!

Perfect!

Condo was perfect. RIGHT on the beach. Gloria was quick to respond. And the condo was exactly as described. Location was great, close to grocery stores and restaurants but NOT near a high rise so beach wasn’t crowded. We would definitely rent here again.

This condo on the west of Panama City Beach is reminiscent of the beach decades ago. It is quiet, clean, and family friendly. Our family found it to be the perfect get away. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to return!

Great Family Vacation Location

We highly recommend Gloria’s home to anyone looking for a quiet beach vacation. The location couldn’t be better. It’s literally right on the beach which made it super easy to get our three young kids outside and having fun. Her home was clean and spacious. Gloria was also very nice to work with and kept great communication with me regarding our stay.

Great place!

We loved this place directly on the beach. The pictures do not do this place justice. The townhouse is clean and comfortable. The location just cannot be beat. It is so quiet and away from the touristy area of Panama City Beach, yet close to the grocery store and several restaurants. Gloria, the owner, was very attentive, but not intrusive. We can't wait to go back.

Quiet and Peaceful Oasis!

If you are looking for a relaxing get away that is right on the beach then look no further. The beach is beautiful and very clean! You are only minutes from the action at the tourist attractions. The rental process was a breeze and Gloria is virtually with you to answer questions and work with you to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I know my wife is looking forward to returning soon!!!

Excellent place to stay if you are looking for somewhere quite and away from all the craziness of PCB east end. You can walk to Winn Dixie and Bayou Bill's if you wish. House was very clean and Gloria is great to deal with! You can walk out the patio doors and be on the beach. One of my favorite places I've ever stayed!

Steps to the beach

Only 5 steps out the sliding door and you had your toes in the sand. Great place to be on the beach and in the ocean! Convenient to groceries and local restaurants. Still close enough for tourist attractions (30 minutes) Ideal location for a quieter side of the Gulf.

Perfect spot

This is our new favorite place to stay! The beach was not crowded even for Memorial Day and was at the doorstep! We all agreed this was the beast beach trip with the nicest beach and accommodations that we have had in this area. The townhouse was clean and quiet and the kitchen well stocked with pans, etc. Two grocery stores within 1/2 mile was nice and is close to shopping and activities in PCB. Gloria is the perfect host, very responsive and helpful and easy to communicate with. We would love to stay here again!

Excellent amenities and stay!

We really enjoyed this unit. The view was to die for and the ocean sounds were so therapeutic!! It was awesome just reading under umbrellas while taking in such a great view! The bedrooms were all upstairs, a problem for the elderly or handicapped, but the unit was otherwise very functional, meeting every need. The only reason it's not 5 star is the bedroom location. I really enjoyed it and recommend it highly!

Amazing Townhome and Beach Equals Amazing Vacation

We had an amazing time here on vacation. Thank you Gloria for being a great host and having a great townhome located right on the beach. Everything was perfect and Gloria had everything waiting on us right down to cold water and popcicles in the fridge when we arrived. With the townhome a few steps from the water, no need to drag a cooler down to the beach. The townhome felt like home, had everything we needed, and the beds provided a great nights sleep after long days on the beach. The townhome is located close to grocery stores and restaurants. We will definitely want to come back again soon.

Absolute tranquility!!

This beach home has everything. There is no parking garage or elevator hassles, instead you park right at the front door and the beach is two steps out the back door. The home is fully furnished with all the accessories of home. There are no high-rises in the area so the beach is not crowded. The owner is extremely gracious & accommodating, allowing early check in when possible. There is a big closet full of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc that the owner allows guests to use. I love everything about this place & can't wait to return.

Loved this place! Was perfect for our family!

This was the perfect spot for us! My husband and I and our two boys went for the weekend and had the best time! It is right on the beach, you walk out of the living room and you are on the beach! It was perfect. The home was clean and had everything we needed and more! I have never stayed where so much was already provided! We were able to dive the ocean and fish, right outside of the home. We will definitely be staying here again and again! Gloria, the owner, is amazing. She helped us with so many things...offered info for our interests while we were there, she answered every question immediately, very easy to contact. If you’re looking for a beautiful, private beach home, this is one worth staying in!
