Check-in was an easy process - key pad stopped working about a couple hours before check out, but we were able to have someone stay in the room while we loaded all our luggage. Cleanliness could have been better. Dirty towels were left under a cabinet in the master bathroom upon checking in as well as some crumbs of old food under the couches. There also seems to be issues with plumbing as the tubs took awhile to drain and the dishwasher was full of backed up water. The listing needs to be updated to include the parking fee of a little over 50 for each vehicle being registered. Overall though the condo was nice for our family. We loved having our own bathroom for each room, and the balcony was directly over the pool with a great beach view. We love PCB and make some great memories here. Thank you to Wanda for such quick responses. We appreciate you having us as a guest.

Ms Wanda was wonderful to work with. My only complaint is not enough towels, beds were not comfortable, and condo could have used a better cleaning especially for how much u are being charged. Sheets had sand in them and the condo was just wiped down and not fully cleaned. Overall great location for families and close to amenities.

Mother's Day Trip

Everything was the way it was described in the listing. Overall, a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Side note, the interaction at the pool was too noisy for my 63 year old mom but my 4 year old enjoyed it. So if there is a significant age gap between individuals in your group, you may want to consider this aspect. However, this didn't take away from the comfort of our stay. Everyone in my group greatly enjoyed being close to the beach as well as being on the 2nd floor. Thanks!

Couples Getaway

The condo was very clean and on the quiet end of Panama City Beach. Being on the 2nd floor, we were able to use the stairs most of the time, but when we needed an elevator, there was no waiting as there are elevators for floors 2 -6 only. BIG advantage. Wanda, the owner was very nice and helpful when we needed help getting TVs working, Highly recommend staying here. Only negative thing I can say about this unit is the noise of the pool. We like to sit out on the balcony at night and it could get noisy. We looked forward to 10pm when they would clear the pool, but we knew this going in and you cannot hear any noise from inside the unit.

Wonderful experience! The property was exactly as described. Essentially, this has double masters, which was perfect for 2 families. Kids stayed in the back bedroom that also had its own bath. Beds were really soft and comfortable. Wanda was such a responsive host. We had a couple small things come up and she took care of them instantly. One of which was a broken blender. I mentioned it to her as an fyi for the next guests, but she had a new one there within a couple hours!! We were impressed! We really loved the 2nd floor so we could bypass the elevators and quickly run back to the room if needed. The outdoor parking was plentiful and worked out perfectly for our oversized transit van. Overall, we loved our stay!
