This Privacy Policy explains how Book a Beach Vacation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit bookabeachvacation.com, contact us, or book one of our Panama City Beach, Florida vacation rentals. By using our site or services, you agree to this policy.
Information we collect
We collect information you give us directly when you submit an inquiry, book a stay, or complete check-in, including:
- Your name, email address, and phone number;
- Booking details such as travel dates, property of interest, and number of guests;
- Any message or request you send us; and
- Information needed to complete a reservation or check-in (e.g., for identity or payment, processed by our providers).
We also automatically collect limited technical data when you visit the site — such as your IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and similar analytics — through cookies and analytics tools.
How we use your information
- To respond to your inquiries and provide customer support;
- To manage your reservation and send you reservation details, check-in instructions, and account or service updates;
- To send you text (SMS) messages if you have opted in (see below);
- To operate, maintain, and improve our website; and
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights and our guests.
SMS / text messaging
If you provide your phone number and check the SMS opt-in box on our contact form, you agree to receive reservation details and informational/check-in text (SMS) messages from Book a Beach Vacation. Consent is not a condition of booking. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply HELP for help and STOP to any message to unsubscribe at any time.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers who help us operate our business — for example, our property-management and messaging platform, payment processor, and email/analytics providers — and only as needed to provide our services. We may also disclose information where required by law. As stated above, SMS opt-in and consent data is never shared with third parties.

We use cookies and analytics services to understand how visitors use the site and to improve it. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some site functionality.
