Our family loved this spot and proximity to everything. It’s very quiet part of PCB and family friendly. This condo had everything that met my family’s need and was large enough for 6 (2 adults 4 kids ) and the view from the balcony was our favorite spot in the evenings! Will definitely be staying here again.

Great week at the Beach

The condo was very spacious and well furnished. The kitchen was to die for!! The beach chairs were a big plus. The covered parking space helped keep the car cooler in the hot Fla. sun. We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend it!!

Perfect condo!

We’ve been coming to PCB every other year and sometimes a few consecutive years and I have never found a condo that offered so many amenities, I cook a lot while I’m there, it’s my down time hobby and I didn’t need a thing. We will definitely do this condo again if our schedules allow!

Great 1st time in FL for winter

Condo was great, kitchen was so well preparedwith everything you could want to cook a meal, beds were comfortable, laundry was great, plenty of hot water. Best thing was the ocean view and it was stunning and a lovely place to wake up to the world with a walk on the beach and coffee on the deck. Table and chairs were delightful for eating an early dinner watching the sun set on the veranda. Beautiful place to spend a month!
