Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
As California natives currently living in the midwest, we have grown to appreciate warmer climates. Islands, beaches, the sea air...we sure miss it! Of course, after experiencing the white sand and clear waters of Florida, we have found a new coast to love. After traveling to the Bahamas, Hawaii and the Caribbean, we knew we wanted vacation property on the beach, but something closer and more affordable for our guests. That is why we chose the Emerald coast of Florida.
Why the Owner Chose Pinnacle Port
Randy and I love the beach and wanted others share the experience with others. Being on the groundfloor and being able to access the beach right out the back door is great! Families with children as well as senior adults appreciate not having to climb stairs, fear balconies or dealing with elevators. Our resort is very out of the way and everything you need is right here. The private uncrowded beach is one of the biggest reasons we chose our condo at Pinnacle Port, a gated resort on the quiet west end of Panama City Beach.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
Being right on the ground floor and walking right out onto the beach is awesome! Truly a rare find in Panama City Beach, and so affordable for most budgets. We love being able to park our car right out front and no stairs or elevators. Our guarded/gated property is unique in that it is nestled between Lake Powell and the Gulf. Both on our property! Our quiet little corner is just that...QUIET! We love watching the dolphins play as we drink our coffee on the patio in the mornings. Did I mention "with our feet in the sand"? It's great to not have to carry bags and gear to the beach, because we are right there, on the beach anyway!

Lori & Randy, Thank you for renting your beautiful condo to us. We had a fantastic time. We loved being on the quieter end of Panama City Beach. The walk out to the beach is great. Only 1 rain day and we went shopping to Pier Park, nice mall! Our trip to Margatritaville was a blast, the food was great. Don't go on the weekend during the week is much quieter. Thanks again. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Dear Lori & Randy, What a vacation! Thank you so very much for opening your home away from home to us. My husband, son and I made memories that will last a lifetime. The location was perfect, beach beautiful, and thee awesomeness of God's creation, breathtaking. The fingerprints on the doors are the evidence of even my 12-month-old's wonder at the beauty of the ocean. Marcy, Pete & Wyatt Noot
