Välutrustat, välplanerad lägenhet i två plan.Väldigt nära stranden, typ fem minuters promenad. Lyhört mellan lägenheterna.

We loved the location of the condo… beautiful and very clean had everything we needed, however we were unaware we would have to have a parking pass$25 no problem then $20 wristband per person to be on property. But all in all or was a great experience at Panama City Beach.

We stayed a month with an infant. We really enjoyed our stay. The location was amazing - just a short walk through the condo complex and across one street. Both balconies have water views. Lots of space. Very clean. There are beach chairs & toys, putters & golf balls, & tennis rackets (no balls). There's a giant walk-in closet in the master w/ the electric water heater - big enough to put a pack n play.
There were a few "issues", but they weren’t huge deals. The ceiling paint around the vents is flaking off & falling down. The upstairs balcony railing is unpainted and splinter-y, which isn't great with little kids. The nonstick pans are all scratched up, & the cooking utensils aren't great (consider bringing a skillet and wood/plastic utensils if you like to cook). There are other pots in fine condition.
Heads up - parking passes are required at $25 each & wristbands for everyone at $20 each. The pools/hot tub are currently (3/1/23) open from 9AM-5PM.
Overall, we're very pleased!
