This rental is absolutely adorable with beach front views. Check in was a breeze, the lady that works in the office was efficient and so kind. Kristi the owner of the condo was quick at getting back to me when I had questions. We had 2 chairs and an umbrella included in our stay and we definitely made use of that. I'll definitely book this rental again next year.

This unit was absolutely perfect for our family of 4 for our Spring Break week. It had plenty of room for all of our luggage and other items we brought. The view of the ocean was incredible. Kitchen was well stocked. Air conditioning was incredible. Host checked in throughout the week. Plus, the little personalized gifts were a sweet and unique touch. Location was also great for us. Right on the beach and close to all of the other attractions nearby. Added beach chairs and umbrella with our rental was the cherry on top! We can't wait to see here again someday!

We had a great stay at this property. The condo was just right for the two of us. The view was terrific. We had some really cold weather (it was January, after all) and we could sit and just watch the waves lap at the beach. Stunning!The facility (Top of the Gulf) was rebuilding the deck and walkway that accessed the beach so my mobility-impaired husband couldn't get out to the beach via the alternate path. We found other places to get him on the sand. Not Salty Turtle's fault, just wanted to throw that out there. The work was almost completed by the time we had to leave. All in all, the condo is a great place to stay during a visit to Panama City Beach.

This is a precious condo with an amazing view! The condo was clean and well maintained. We spent most of our time out in the gulf or on the beach. The beach chairs and umbrella set up that is included in the rental (seasonally) was an amazing perk -- making it so much more comfortable to hang out on the beach longer. The common deck areas were also very nice. Going during the week and after schools were back in session made for a less crowded experience. We could not have asked for better weather and great place to stay.The view is spectacular, but you don't have a personal balcony. The kitchen is small, but we wanted to eat local seafood most days. We only needed it for easy meals. Neither of these were deal breakers for us.
