Is the beach safe for young children and toddlers?
Yes — Beach Access #12 is one block away with no intersection to cross. St. Andrews State Park, just 2 miles away, has a natural wading pool formed by a jetty where kids can splash in the Gulf without big waves and can stand comfortably. It's one of the best toddler-friendly beach spots in PCB.
Can I work remotely from the townhouse?
Absolutely. The townhouse has 319 Mbps high-speed WiFi throughout. It's located in a quiet, low-density residential community with no elevator noise or lobby foot traffic — ideal for focused morning work sessions before heading to the beach.
Is there parking for a truck, SUV, or vehicle with a trailer?
There are 2 assigned parking spaces directly in front of the unit — free for guests. For larger vehicles or trailers, reach out to me before booking so I can confirm fit and discuss options.
What is the minimum stay requirement?
Minimum stay varies by season. Weekend stays (2 nights) are available during shoulder season. Peak summer and holiday weekends may require 3–4 night minimums. Check the booking calendar for exact availability and minimums for your dates.
Are there restaurants within walking distance?
Several restaurants are a short drive away — PCB's dining scene is along Thomas Drive and Back Beach Road. Schooners, the last true local beach club, is 1 mile away. Finn's Island Style Grub, The Alibi, and Parlor Doughnuts are all within a few minutes. Nothing is truly walkable but everything is a 2–10 minute drive.
What beach gear is included?
Inside the patio closet you'll find a beach cart, beach chairs, body boards, kids' sand toys, and extra patio chairs — all available for guest use during your stay. Beach towels are also provided and can be used at the pool or beach.
Is this a good base for Publix Sports Park tournaments?
It's one of the best setups for tournament families in PCB. Publix Sports Park is just 5 miles away — about 10 minutes by car. Rather than staying in a cramped hotel room on the busy tourist strip, you get a full townhouse on the quiet residential beach side: full kitchen to cook meals, washer/dryer for uniforms, access to the small SummerPlace community pool, and the Gulf of Mexico one block away. Grandparents who prefer a calmer environment will especially appreciate the low-density, no-elevator setup with 2 parking spaces right in front of the unit.
Is the property good for the Seabreeze Jazz Festival?
Absolutely — the Turquoise Townhouse is a great base for the Seabreeze Jazz Festival (April 22–26, 2026). Named a Top 10 Jazz Festival in the USA, it draws over 20,000 fans to Aaron Bessant Park for five days of world-class smooth jazz. You're just minutes from the venue with your own quiet, residential retreat to come back to after the shows. Book direct for the best rate — this week fills up fast.
Is the property good for Florida Jeep Jam?
Yes — Florida Jeep Jam (May 11–16, 2026) is one of the fastest-growing Jeep events in the Southeast, bringing 2,000+ Jeeps to Aaron Bessant Park for a full week of obstacle courses, beach krawls, vendors, and live music. The Turquoise Townhouse has 2 assigned parking spaces directly in front of the unit — plenty of room for your Jeep. It's a quiet residential setting that's close to all the action without being in the middle of it.
Is the property good for the Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally?
Yes — the Turquoise Townhouse is well-located for Thunder Beach, held in PCB each spring (typically mid-May) and fall. The quiet residential setting gives you a peaceful home base while staying close to all the rally action on Thomas Drive and at Schooners.

How do I get to the beach from the townhouse?
Bay County Public Beach Access #12 is a 5 minute walk. From the front door turn right toward the end of the property and hop on the sidewalk along Thomas Drive. Walk past the Mariner East sign, then the Nautical Watch sign, then past the front of Watercrest Condominiums and turn right on Crescent Drive. Follow the path straight to the beach. Please use the public access path and not cut through the condominiums.
Can I bike to restaurants and shops from the townhouse?
Yes, absolutely. Thomas Drive has a dedicated bike lane and the speed limit is 35mph so it feels very safe for bikes, e-bikes and scooters. Finn's Island Style Grub is only a 6 minute bike ride from the unit. For rentals, Beachside Motorsports has e-bikes, regular bikes, paddleboards, kayaks and golf carts all in one place.
Is there parasailing near the Turquoise Townhouse?
Adventures at Sea on the Grand Lagoon is your one stop shop about 7 minutes from the unit. They do jet skis, boat rentals, dolphin tours and parasailing all in one place. Lagoon Pontoons is right there too if you want a pontoon for the day.
Where can I rent a paddleboard near the property?
Two great options. The St. Andrews State Park Jetty Store rents paddleboards right on site so you can grab a board and be on the water in the same trip. Beachside Motorsports also rents them closer to the unit on Thomas Drive.
Where can I go fishing near the townhouse?
St. Andrews State Park has a great fishing pier only 9 minutes from the unit with unobstructed gulf views. If you need gear or want to rent a full fishing setup, Half Hitch tackle shop is 7 minutes away and has everything you need.
Is this a good place to stay for the Bay Point Billfish Open?
Great fit for families and spectators coming in for the tournament. The Bay Point Billfish Open (June 23–28, 2026) is held at Point South Marina in Bay Point — the Northern Gulf Coast's most prestigious sport fishing tournament with a prize pool over $1 million. The anglers sleep on their boats, but the families and fans who come to cheer them on need a real place to stay. The townhouse gives you a full kitchen, washer and dryer, 2 parking spaces, and the beach one block away to fill the days while the boats are out fishing.
Do the basketball and pickleball courts in the photos belong to the property?
Those courts belong to the Mariner East and West Condominium community next door and are not available to SummerPlace guests. SummerPlace is a smaller 18 unit community and the shared amenity is the pool.
What are the best dinner spots near the townhouse?
Schooners is less than a mile away and is a PCB classic. Best fried shrimp on the beach, great Pina Coladas and Margaritas, and I personally love their tuna dip. Capt. Anderson's is about a 5 minute drive and is a beautiful sit down dinner spot right off the bay. Pier Park has tons of restaurant options under 10 miles away but keep in mind it gets crowded on holiday weekends so drive times can vary.
