Great place! Highly recommend

This place was Great, We had Tons of Funn, close to EVERTHING!!!! I will first start out with my recommendation. The king size bed in the master bedroom should be replaced.. While not terrible it's still showing signs of aging (sagging in the middle).This is only a recommendation and should not be seen as a negative or a reason not to stay here. Communication with the owner ( Mike )was immediate and appreciated. The views from the balcony are Beautiful, and the Convenience to shopping and restaurants is incredible! The pool areas were clean and have plenty of seating and lots of space so you're not right on top of one another. There was also plenty of beach items available in the unit ( wagon, chairs,umbrellas, towels etc.) I will add that the elevators are the Devil..... Especially on Fridays & Saturdays! I ran into one of the others owners there and she explained that a ton of money was spent on replacing them 2 years ago. I won't get into how much this cost but it was in the millions. So they have tried to make the situation better! I would like to Thank you Mike for a wonderful place to vacation. We would really like to visit again.

Overall a good location with easy access to the beach. The only negative was the elevators. They were slow. I ended up taking the stairs alot because of the speed of the elevators.

Fantastic Stay at PCB

The property was perfectly setup for our stay. The amenities inside the unit were great and met all our needs! The property has everything in close proximity: pools, beach, restaurants, and Walmart for groceries. Mike was a great host and very responsive to all our questions and concerns. We will definitely look to stay here again when in the area.

5 star stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at mikes condo in Panama City Beach, Florida, and I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience. From the moment I stepped foot into the condo, I was captivated by its pristine cleanliness, breathtaking views, and overall charm. First and foremost, I must commend the exceptional cleanliness of the condo. Every corner, surface, and detail were immaculate, creating an inviting and comfortable environment. It was evident that the owners and staff took great pride in maintaining the condo to the highest standards, ensuring a delightful and hygienic stay for all guests. One of the highlights of my stay was undoubtedly the panoramic views that greeted me each morning. The condo's strategic location provided unobstructed vistas of the stunning Panama City Beach coastline. From the private balcony, I was treated to the sight of crystal-clear turquoise waters, powdery white sands, and the gentle sounds of waves crashing against the shore. It was truly a sight to behold and an experience that will forever be etched in my memory. In conclusion, my time at the beach condo in Panama City Beach, Florida, was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of its impeccable cleanliness, breathtaking views, and overall charm created an unforgettable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this beach condo to anyone seeking a remarkable getaway filled with tranquility, natural beauty, and warm hospitality. It is truly a hidden gem on the shores!!

Annual Birthday Trip

My daughter’s birthdays are only a week (and 11 years) apart so we usually do a beginning of the summer vacation to celebrate. This was one of our best trips yet. The condo was everything we could ask for besides being so far from the pools and parking lot. Also the day of check out only one elevator was working and the elevators are small. So the overall property had a few quirks but the stay was fabulous, plenty of food within walking distance and Walmart right across the street.

We overall had a great experience and vacation here. My girls enjoyed every minute. Room was as expected, clean and had everything we needed. Mike was very easy to get in touch with and made sure we had everything we needed as well. Our only complaint is nothing he could handle… the elevators on the weekend take forever but can usually hold a lot of people and move fast once you are on with fans blowing. We would recommend this rental to others for sure!

Fun Spring Break!

We had such an amazing time! The property was clean and spacious. We loved the views off the balcony and it had lots of seating so we could all enjoy early morning breakfast and coffee together! The property has multiple pools and hot tubs and we utilized them all. The beach is right across the street and we had easy private access which was amazing. We also made use of the wagon and beach chairs every time we went which was a great added bonus amenity. If we had any questions/concerns, it was easy to message Michael and get a response back almost immediately! Overall awesome stay and we will be back!
