Lots of fun !
We had a very relaxing time on our vacation.. The advertisement for the“worlds smallest shower”. ,would be correct, but the beautiful backyard and the view made that the smallest thing to be concerned about. The outside shower was definitely the way to go! The main room had plenty of room and seating for all of us. The kitchen was very nice..The beach house is probably one of the last of its kind.. all one level and no stairs. I would stay there again!

Awesomeness!
This house and location cant be beat! We had a party of 6, including 4 adults and 2 kids, and were very comfortable. The house has every thing you need to enjoy the beach and a laid back vacation. Marty is an outstanding host, making sure you have everything you need. Being able to walk out the back door right on the beach is the best. The outside shower is phenomenal, also. Enjoyed watching the purple martins do their thing every morning, too! Will definitely be back soon!

We had an issue once arriving at the property and Marty immediately answered / fixed the problem. He made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The location couldn’t have been more perfect. The views in the backyard are breathtaking. We brought our pups who thoroughly enjoyed the yard as well. Would stay again!

Great location but poorly maintained property !
This is an honest review based on the recent trip to this location. We booked this family trip for 9 nights but we ended up leavimg three days earlier because we could not stand the unpleasant property despite the beautiful view and location . Marty Bush the owner tried to accomodate us and refunded us partial for the three days but the house needs to be checked and updated properly for having a decent stay. For the money we paid we only ask for esentials that every human being needs as such: a comfortable matress and a decent shower. We could not sleep for several nights . Everything is from 1900 except the kitchen appliances and termostat. The smell in the front little house is terrible ( one room with a bathroom ) . The shower in the main house is very small as stated on VRBO but with broken drain cover with a hole in it. M bedroom matress has the edges very high and goes down in the middle which is imposible to sleep on. Doors locks are super old and squick at every single touch . In the master half bathroom the sink and toilet are NOT at the confort height and is a struggle for tall people.There are lots of things to say but I will stop here. We did not enjoy our stay and we will not recommand this place to anybody.

Our Cherished Family Legacy: "Lotts of Sun"

The Lott/Bush family's love affair with the warm, sugary white sands of Panama City Beach's west end began in the late 1950s, and it's a love story that has endured the test of time. Over the years, we've woven our lives into the Sunnyside community, establishing deep roots that anchor us to this pristine paradise.

In the late 1990s, a golden opportunity presented itself: the chance to acquire our cozy haven, Lotts of Sun, from a dear family friend. Without hesitation, we embraced this opportunity, making it our very own piece of beachfront heaven.

This stretch of beach has seen us grow, evolve, and thrive. It's witnessed the laughter of our children, the playfulness of our grandchildren, and the joyful babble of our great-grandkids. Generations of our family have been nurtured by the gentle embrace of these shores, and it's a legacy we hold dear.

While we certainly appreciate the allure of nearby 30A and the excitement of Pier Park with its restaurants, entertainment, and shopping, there's something profoundly comforting about the fact that our little piece of paradise has remained remarkably unchanged. Here, you won't find imposing high-rise condos or the chaos of crowded beaches. Instead, you'll discover the serenity and simplicity that have endeared this place to us for decades.

As the sun sets over the horizon, casting its golden glow upon the sand, we are reminded that some things are meant to be cherished forever. Our story continues to unfold in the embrace of this timeless beachfront treasure, "Lotts of Sun."

Why they chose this property

Seamless Beachfront Living at Lotts of Sun
Our beachfront haven is more than just a house; it's a sanctuary nestled right in the sand. No busy roads to cross, no long treks with chairs, umbrellas, and excited little ones in tow. Here, convenience meets paradise.

Mornings of Tranquility:
Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the back porch, the gentle sound of waves caressing the shore as you watch the sun's first rays dance upon the water. It's a moment of pure serenity that sets the tone for your day.

Evenings of Wonder:
As the day draws to a close, gather for your evening meal with a front-row seat to one of nature's greatest spectacles. Watch the sun's fiery descent over the Gulf, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. It's a nightly show that leaves you in awe.

A View Beyond Compare:
At Lotts of Sun, we proudly declare that you simply cannot find a better view or location. The Gulf of Mexico is not merely a distant dream; it's your backyard, just a mere 50 yards from the back door. It's a proximity that immerses you in the beauty of the ocean, allowing you to feel its rhythm and majesty every moment of your stay.

Flexible Rentals for Your Convenience:
For daily or weekly rentals, there's no need to fret about the usual Saturday changeover, except during the off-season.
During the high season (June & July), we offer weekly rentals with a change-over day on Sunday. Say goodbye to the mass exodus of Saturday and savor a more leisurely transition into your beachfront getaway.
At Lotts of Sun, we offer not just a home but a lifestyle. It's a place where the beach isn't a destination; it's your backyard, your playground, and your solace. Come, make your memories in the sand, where every day is a beach day and every moment is a precious memory.

What makes this property unique

With the separate guest house, our place is perfect for two small families or grandparents.

We avoid Saturday change-over in the high season. Way too much traffic and confusion. We offer Sunday arrival and departure in the high season - June and July.
