Beach days, sunset walks and dinner out can all be part of the routine at Pier Haven, a three-story cottage in Summer Towne Cottages, a colorful, low-density beach community just steps from the Gulf on Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach. With the beach, Pier Park, Russell-Fields Pier, shopping, restaurants and entertainment all within easy walking distance, the location makes it easy to leave the car behind and settle into the best parts of beach life. Pier Haven is the cottage closest to Pier Park, putting some of the area's most popular spots practically at your doorstep. Short-term rentals are allowed, and Pier Haven has an established rental history, generating the equivalent of $93,089 in 2023, $93,615 in 2024 and $90,643 in 2025 (including owner usage). For a buyer looking for a Panama City Beach vacation home that can also generate rental income when not being enjoyed personally, the combination of location, layout and established rental performance is compelling. Summer Towne Cottages offers a different kind of beach getaway -- a collection of cottage-style homes rather than a large resort tower. The community features a seasonal outdoor pool, sun deck, BBQ facilities and picnic area, with no crowded lobbies or elevators to navigate. Pier Haven comes with its own two-car garage. As an end unit, it offers additional parking flexibility, with space for two vehicles behind the garage and another in the garage, depending on vehicle size. Overflow parking is available near the community pool on a first-come, first-served basis. The area behind the garage can also accommodate a table and grill, creating a spot for outdoor dining. Inside, the three-story layout gives everyone room to spread out while creating distinct spaces for gathering and relaxing. The main living area occupies the top floor, where vaulted ceilings, tile flooring and an open floor plan make the space feel bright and airy. A covered porch with grill extends the living area outdoors, while the top deck offers impressive beach views and the kind of gulf breeze that makes you want to stay outside a little longer. Recent clearing of the woods behind the property has also opened up views of the Pier Park Ferris wheel and pond, adding another point of interest to the outdoor setting. The top-floor primary suite has its own reading nook, private bath and balcony overlooking the beach, creating a private retreat with a front-row beach view. Two additional bedroom suites are located on the second floor, each with a private bathroom. One includes a twin trundle bed tucked into a cozy nook, while the other features a queen bed and a private balcony overlooking the community pool. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on this level. The first floor adds another bedroom with a twin-over-full trundle bed, along with a private bathroom and foyer entrance. With three bedrooms, three full baths and a half bath, the layout gives families and groups plenty of room to spread out, while the multiple bedrooms, private baths and outdoor spaces make the home especially well suited to vacation stays. Pier Haven offers a distinctly different way to experience Panama City Beach: your own colorful cottage by the Gulf, with the beach and the best of the west end just outside the door.
