Life along the Gulf Coast often comes with a little more gear than the average trip. Boats, fishing equipment, trailers, RVs, tools, beach gear, and everything that comes with working or living near the water can take up space quickly.
At the Venice Inn, we see it all the time. Many of our guests are fishermen, contractors, oil and gas workers, boat owners, and travelers who spend a significant amount of time moving throughout the Gulf Coast. For anyone whose travels take them east into the Florida Panhandle, there is another useful stop worth knowing about: East Avenue Storage in Panama City, Florida.
Located on North East Avenue in Panama City, East Avenue Storage offers traditional self storage along with dedicated boat and RV storage for local residents, businesses, seasonal visitors, and anyone who simply needs a little more room.
Most people think about renting a storage unit when they are moving, but there are plenty of reasons to need extra space along the Gulf Coast.
Maybe you spend part of the year in Florida and don't want to haul everything home at the end of the season. Maybe you're remodeling a house, managing a vacation rental, storing business equipment, or trying to get fishing and camping gear out of the garage.
East Avenue Storage offers storage units ranging from 5' x 5' to 10' x 30', giving customers options for everything from a few boxes to furniture, equipment, and the contents of a larger home.
Both drive-up and climate-controlled storage options are available. Drive-up units make loading heavier items easier because you can bring your vehicle directly to the unit, while climate-controlled storage provides additional protection for belongings that don't handle Florida's heat and humidity particularly well.

This is the Gulf Coast, so naturally, not everything that needs a parking space has four wheels.
For boat owners, finding enough room at home can be a challenge. Neighborhood restrictions, crowded driveways, trailers, and limited yard space can turn boat ownership into a parking problem when you're not out on the water.
East Avenue Storage offers boat storage in Panama City with spaces ranging from 10' x 20' up to 12' x 45'. The facility has wide paved aisles designed to make maneuvering a boat and trailer easier, along with gated entry, perimeter fencing, and security cameras.
That's something we can certainly appreciate at the Venice Inn. A large part of our own clientele comes to Venice specifically because they love being on the water, and we maintain on-site parking with room for boats for exactly that reason.
Whether you're fishing out of Venice, exploring Florida's Emerald Coast, or simply trying to find a better place to keep your boat between trips, having convenient storage can make life considerably easier.
The same goes for RVs and campers.
Traveling the Gulf Coast by RV gives you plenty of freedom, but storing a motorhome or travel trailer when you're not using it is another matter. Large vehicles can consume an entire driveway, and some neighborhoods and homeowners associations restrict long-term RV parking.
East Avenue Storage provides boat and RV storage in Panama City with parking spaces large enough to accommodate many motorhomes, fifth wheels, campers, and trailers.
For seasonal Florida residents, frequent travelers, and people who only use their RV for certain parts of the year, having a dedicated place to park can be much simpler than keeping it at home.
East Avenue Storage is located at 2131 N. East Avenue in Panama City and serves customers throughout the surrounding area, including Cedar Grove, Callaway, Parker, Springfield, Lynn Haven, Pretty Bayou, and Panama City Beach.
The facility offers gated keypad entry, perimeter fencing, security cameras, an on-site manager, and access seven days a week. Its paved grounds are also designed to drain quickly after the heavy rainfall that comes with living along the Gulf Coast.
Rentals are month-to-month, so customers don't have to commit to a year-long storage agreement when they only need additional space temporarily.
New tenants can also receive their first month free on a storage unit or parking space.
Venice, Louisiana and Panama City, Florida may be several hours apart, but people living and working along the Gulf Coast have a lot in common.
We fish. We boat. We travel with trailers. We spend a lot of time outdoors. Some people work jobs that keep them away from home for weeks at a time, while others split their year between different parts of the coast.
At the Venice Inn, our goal has always been straightforward: give people a comfortable, practical place to stay when their travels bring them to Venice.
If those travels eventually take you east into the Florida Panhandle and you need a little more space, East Avenue Storage offers that same kind of practical solution in Panama City.
Whether you need a small storage unit, space for household belongings, somewhere to keep business equipment, or a secure place to park your boat, camper, or RV, you can visit East Avenue Storage online to view available options and rent a space.
And when your next fishing trip brings you back to the end of Highway 23, we'll be here in Venice with a room—and plenty of room for the boat.
