The place was awesome. We loved the balcony. It was probably the best balcony we have ever had. We also loved the layout of the bedrooms. It is a good place if you want privacy but to also bring your kids along!

We had a wonderful time. Easy check-in, clean condo, we had everything we needed. The view on the 12th floor was awesome, and we didn't realize we had an end until until we got there! It was great!

We came to celebrate a big birthday for my mom. There was plenty of space in the bedrooms for our guests. We had space to spread out and relax- whether it was in the den or out on the very spacious deck. The beach was absolutely beautiful and easily accessible for my mom! Had a fantastic time!

We had such a wonderful time in Panama City Beach. Our condo was right on the beach and we loved the walks. The condo was clean and so pretty. Loved every minute and am excited about coming back next year.

Overall a great stay. The condo receptionist was extremely kind and helpful. We arrived early and were allowed to get our parking pass and head to the pool/beach while we waited for the room to be ready which was nice for the kids. The only thing was the second bedroom has a bed and bunk bed (which the pictures show) but the description only states a single bed so you can fit a few more in that room. The place was perfect for us and the kids loved the view from the high floor and being right on the beach. Parking was pretty easy across the street even with a large SUV. Will definitely look to rent again if we return.

Keeping this one on my list
This was a dream rental. I quite literally gasped when I first entered because of how beautiful it was. This is probably the first place I have gone where the apartment was the same as what the pictures depicted, if not better. The balcony was amazing. The view was amazing. The apartment was so spacious and felt so clean. The bedrooms were very private from one another. The kitchen was very well stocked. If I could live in this space, it would be a dream come true. I wouldn't say I didn't like it. These are just things that would have been primo... A foot stool/ottoman for the chair. For those taking a vacation while also working: a comfy place for remote work... meaning, sitting at the kitchen table with those particular chairs for any length was not very comfortable. However, there is a fantastic spot on the balcony with a plug close by that made up for it. I would also suggest a TV that allows HDMI slots to use a firestick or connect a laptop.

We really enjoyed staying in this condo! The only issue we had was that the sheets were stained. We contacted the owner in which they promptly resolved the issue. We would definitely stay again without hesitation! The beach was just a short walk, the property was clean, and we never had to wait long for an elevator. Our family would definitely recommend staying here!
