You've booked the house, packed your people, and landed in Panama City Beach. Now comes the question every vacation group faces: where does 20 people go for dinner without splitting into three Lyfts, waiting an hour at a restaurant, and spending half the night managing checks? The answer is — nowhere. A certified hibachi chef from Hibachi Connect comes to your rental, sets up on your pool deck, and turns your vacation home into the best dining experience of the trip.
It works on any outdoor surface: pool decks, covered patios, lanais, waterfront terraces. The chef arrives 5–10 minutes before your start time with a full propane grill, fresh proteins, all ingredients, sauces, plates, and chopsticks. Your group gathers around the station. The flames go up. The shrimp flies. Three hours later, everyone agrees it was the best night of the vacation — and nobody had to Google parking.
Always confirm your rental property allows outdoor open-flame cooking before booking. Most Panama City Beach-area vacation homes do, especially properties with dedicated outdoor kitchens or pool decks. Starting at $60 per adult, $30 per child, $600 event minimum. One chef for up to 20 guests; two stations for larger vacation groups. Most quotes returned same day.
Whether you're in a Destin beach house, an Orlando vacation rental, or a Fort Lauderdale Airbnb — the process is the same: simple on your end, unforgettable for everyone who shows up.
One simple rate. Everything included — chef, grill, ingredients, full setup and cleanup. No surprises.
Beach house parties, family reunions, bachelorette weekends — hibachi at your vacation rental is the move that makes the trip.
Hibachi Connect serves vacation rentals, Airbnbs, VRBOs, and beach houses throughout the Panama City Beach area and all of Florida. If your group has a pool deck, we've got a chef.

Every summer, hundreds of vacation groups descend on Panama City Beach's beach houses and VRBO rentals. Private hibachi has become the must-do evening event — no restaurant logistics, no wait, just a chef on your pool deck performing for the whole group.
Check Availability"Bachelorette weekend at a Panama City Beach house — 20 women, Gulf-view pool deck, chef arrived right on time. The fire show had everyone going crazy. Food was incredible. Nobody wanted to leave the house all night. This was hands-down the best event of the whole bachelorette trip and that's saying something because we did PCB right."
"Family reunion at a large PCB vacation house — 38 family members, two chef stations, absolute chaos in the absolute best way. Kids were beyond entertained, adults had a real dinner, grandparents had front-row seats. This was our best family reunion dinner in years. Already planning it for next summer."
"Spring break group trip to Panama City Beach — 24 of us in a big beach house, pool deck hibachi. Way more fun than any bar or restaurant we went to that week. Chef was hilarious, food was great, and the whole group was genuinely bonded after that dinner. Would absolutely do this again."
