Great experience. I've been at Top of the Gulf for 2 months for work in 2 different units and this was my favorite. The bed was comfortable and the room was great. No noise issues from any neighbors either. The owner was super friendly and super fast with responses.

It was perfect for my sister and me. I do think someone should be accountable to make sure that everything that is supposed to be in the condo is actually there. The armbands needed to be worn while at the resort were not there. There was also supposed to be a hair dryer in the room, but wasn’t. We certainly had beach hair everyday.

Clean, Pleasant Property
The property was very clean and everyone we came in contact with was friendly. The room was clean and accurate to pictures in listing. Beautiful view of the Gulf. We had an overall pleasant stay. We didn't have any issues so there was no need to reach out for anything. The little tote of beach toys did come in handy with our daughter.

Absolutely Perfect Stay – We’ll Be Back Again!This was our second time visiting Panama City and staying at Top of the Gulf, and once again, it did not disappoint! Ye Jung’s beachfront studio was everything we hoped for and more.The pool was fabulous—clean, inviting, and the perfect place to relax when we weren’t on the sand. Speaking of the beach, the access couldn’t be easier—it’s right there! No long walks or crowded entrances, just step out and enjoy the sun, surf, and stunning views.We loved how close everything was. Whether we needed food, entertainment, or shopping, it was all just a short drive or even a walk away. And one of the most special moments for me was looking out the window and seeing the cross—it was a beautiful and peaceful reminder of what matters most, even while on vacation.Ye Jung was a wonderful host, and the studio was clean, cozy, and well-stocked. We’re already planning our next trip and wouldn’t dream of staying anywhere else.Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable beachfront getaway!

Overall A Good Stay
This was my 2nd time staying at this location (same building, different unit). This time around, we contacted the owner to see if anything could be done about the inconveniences we encountered, communication was great since the owner responded as soon as he could but the resolution was no bueno. 1. Check in was phenomenal, super quick and the ladies at the office are super nice. 2. When we entered the room though, the extremely strong smell of marijuana was a slap in the face. I had a 12 yo and a 15yo with me so that wasn’t nice. We contacted the owner thinking it might’ve been the previous guests and maybe the cleaning wasn’t done right but he explained that unfortunately some units have it to where the vents from the neighbors will blow in our unit so that’s where the smell was coming from… we stayed for 3 nights so on the last day, the smell wasn’t as bad. 3. The fan was on when we got there but as I pulled the cord to turn it off, the cord got stuck and we couldn’t turn it back on. The owner told us to get on a chair and try to pull it out which we had already tried so no luck there either. 4. To get hot water from the shower, you have to work it the opposite way since the owner explained that it was installed wrong. 5. (This is on us, but wanted to share in case some of you also think this way) from the pictures, it seems like you get a balcony, but that’s not the case. It’s on the 2nd floor so you can take the elevator or stairs. 6. Location is AMAZING!

Family vacation
Very clean condo and easy access to the pool and beach. Beautiful view. I love that it’s very easy to go down the stairs if the elevators are busy which it was this week. Top of the gulf employees made sure there was no one extra parking or entering resort and I liked that! Everything we needed in the condo. We stayed 4 nights and there was 2 adults and 2 kids. I love how the owner responded to my questions pretty quick! I would stay here again

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Top of the Gulf. Have stayed here before but this time was the best. Staying on the 2nd floor and was super convenient and clean as a pin. Elevators were quick, our unit owner was prompt and provided everything we asked for. 5 Star for an older unit.
