Historic Old Town in Panama City is home to this Juan Montoya custom design that combines clean lines and graceful curves to create a truly captivating piece of livable art. Montoya, rated among the top 100 designers in Architectural Digest, has contributed his modern aesthetic to the design of several remarkable homes along the Gulf Coast. This luxurious residence does not shy away from its curb appeal as a focal point on West Beach Drive. The beautifully landscaped property is as special as the home itself and the large, rectangular swimming pool compliments the front entry of the home. The property line extends south from West Beach Drive all the way to the Bay, whereas many other homes on the street do not own the land south of the road to the Bay. The backyard is home to one of the oldest registered White Oak trees in the Panama City area. Inside, pleasant surprises await. The open interiors showcase amazing hardwood floors, wood millwork and arching wood ceilings. The first floor accommodations include a library/study, along with a bedroom and full bath. Upstairs the master suite features a large, circular bay window, south facing balcony, custom bath and views of the living and dining rooms. Two additional bedrooms with private baths occupy the upstairs living quarters. You will not be uninspired by this modern masterpiece.

In response to feedback from my posting about the much awaited opening of the Shrimp Boat Restaurant in Panama City, here are some pictures for those who haven't been able to visit since the opening. This is the entrance on Beck Avenue.

Go to dinner by boat!

Future dining options will expand with the opening of Gracie Rae"s Bar and Grille with a large deck over-looking St Andrews Bay

Walk the Boardwalk and watch the boats unload thier catch of the day!

It's wonderful to live in an area where people pay to come on vacation. We are on vacation everyday! It rang true again the other night when a group of fun friends decided to go kayaking on St. Andrews Bay launching from the St. Andrews Marina.

This is a convenient spot for us to launch from, The Canoe Shop is right across the street and rents kayaks for those that don't own one. Parking is easy and there is a small sandy beach great for loading the boats and launching as a group.

The sun soon begins to set illuminating the sky with shades of orange and pink with dark shadows of clouds along the horizon simulating a mountain range with majestic peaks. It was another fantastic sunset, no two being exactly alike.

As we headed east toward the rising moon, we realized that maybe our plans should have been reversed, paddle towards the sunset going west then return heading east towards the moon. We'll switch directions next time.

After watching the moon rise, we started back towards the marina in the darkness. The water calms down after sunset making the trip back smoother and we are enjoying having the bay to ourselves. At least so we thought, about that time I catch movement out of the corner of my eye and hear a pffffhhh sound. The light from the moon is more than enough to scan the surface of the bay but nothing is there. After a few minutes I begin paddling again and catch up to the group. Again I hear the sound but this time it is slightly in front of me and I see a dolphin roll in the water between myself and another kayak. The dolpin would disappear each time I stopped so when he reappeared this time I continued paddling with a steady pace with my fellow paddler. It was awesome knowing that the dolphin was choosing to swim with us at our pace, much slower than he was capable of swimming. After a fair distance he left as quietly as he appeared and we paddled on.

The dolphin experience took this moonlit trip from awesome to WOW! One of those experiences you hope for on a vacation but we get in our own backyard.

Along the Bay in the historic St. Andrews area of Panama City, FL is a wonderful park called Oaks By the Bay!  I've been spending a lot of time in beautiful St. Andrews lately.  I have a wonderful new listing in that part of Panama City ... it's the oldest part of town... where the first settlers of Bay County chose to stay and build their homes and raise families.  When you see these photos, you will know why they came to stay.

 

This must be like the view early home settlers found on St. Andrews Bay.

That little bird is a heron! And he's enjoying breakfast on a sandbar during low tide.

Oaks By The Bay Park ... so the sea oats and sand dunes are protected here ... preserved for your enjoyment.

 

 

 

 

 

This is the entrance to Oaks By the Bay Park ... pretty much like any park in the USA ... with the American Flag flying high, open spaces, nice wide walk-ways, and big old Southern Oak Trees.

The St. Andrews area of Panama City is home to a small marina providing safe harbor for fishing vessels, a variety of small shops, boutiques, and art galleries, and several wonderful locally owned restaurants serving breakfast, homemade lunches, and delicious seafood dinners.

You can take a walk at the marina during sunset, sip fresh coffee, or enjoy strolling by beautiful St. Andrews Bay in this park.

 

Words cannot express the beauty of life enjoyed in Oaks By the Bay Park.  Natural beauty on the Bay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where's the best place to have breakfast in Bay County?  On this sand bar in St Andrews Bay!  Ask the Heron!

 

 

This pavilion is near the front entrance of Oaks By the Bay Park.  Summer jazz concerts and Christmas carol sing-a-longs make this a year-round favorite stop for locals and tourists alike!

 

 

 

 

 

Here's something you just won't see anywhere else ... this Park is home to this rare four-headed palm tree ... the sign on the fence surrounding it says that it is believed to be the only one of its kind in the world.  It was relocated to this park for preservation.

 

 

 

This Heritage Oak Tree (below) is believed to be 250 YEARS old... it is believed to have stood as a "Sentry" over St Andrews Bay during the Civil War.  It may have been one of the few things left standing along the bay after that war.  It is said that a Union Gunship blasted every home along the bay.  There were fine homes built along the bay in the early 1860s, but none were left standing ... destroyed in an act of senseless aggression.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Heritage Oak is believed to have survived the Civil War ... making it more than 250 years old....

 

It stands as a Sentry overlooking the pristine waters of St Andrew Bay in Oaks By the Bay Park in the St Andrews historical area of Panama City, Florida.
