We had a wonderful time staying here. We are 'veteran, 10 - time Florida visitors' and we enjoyed staying here at this perfect location. The pools and the beach were terrific. Everything was well-maintained. The owner provided us with excellent customer service and responded to our questions promptly. There were lots of amenities for young and old and we will certainly be returning in the near future!

Spring Break vacation

Date of Stay: 03/10/12 Review Submitted: 03/21/12

We had 5 people in this condo and it was very comfortable. The description was very accurate as the pictures show in the web site. It was very clean and well maintained. The view was awesome, and the resort it self was also kept well. The owners communicated quickly and they were very nice. Definitely wanting to come back next year.

PC Vacation 2011

We had 5 people in this condo and it was very comfortable. The listing description and pictures were accurate and was exactly as shown. It was very clean and well decorated. We enjoyed the condo and were pleased with how the owner answered our calls quickly regarding any questions we had. The only negative would be the parking for some because it is across the street from the condo, however it is a comfortable walk in an air-conditioned cross walk to the parking deck so it was not an issue for us. We were close enough to walk to many great restaurants and amusements parks also. We would defintely reccommend this property to friends and family and will stay again.

We had an amazing week long beach vacation in this rental. The space was beautiful and gave us plenty of room. We loved the stunning resort and being beach front! The pools were not to crowded and well positioned with a delicious reasonably priced poolside cafe. We will most certainly be staying here again!

We spent Dec 2010, and Jan & Feb 2011 in this unit. It was exceptionally clean when we arrived. It is well equipped for comfortable living and the views are spectacular. Free telephone and wi fi make it an exceptional value for long term guests. We enjoyed being able to walk to a number of restaurants and wal mart in the area. The large heated indoor poor was a real plus. We would recommend this unit to anyone.

My husband, baby and I stayed a week in this condo in October. Perfect time of the year to go to the beach! We had a wonderful time.... the condo was great and we will definitely consider staying there again next year! First time to stay at the Majestic but will recommend to friends and family. To sum up our stay at the Majestic.....Magical!

We really enjoued our time at this condo - our son-in-law said it was his best vacation ever. The rooms were clean and spacious, and the furnishings were nice - the master bath was especially well-appointed. And of course, the Gulf view was awesome. We would be happy to stay in this property on our next trip to PCB, and would consider other JK Condo properties in other locations.

Cleanliness less than desired

When we arrived, we had trouble getting into the condo, and unable to get ahold of Alan, but we did finally get in. We were excited, and it is a cute condo. But...when we got ready to go to bed, the bedspreads were stained (the master bedroom bedspread had dried blood on it), and it was questionable whether the sheets were freshly washed, since there was hair in between the sheets. (yuck). The shower curtain in the 2nd bath was nasty with mildew (I took pictures and sent them to Alan, along with the pictures from the stains on teh bedspreads), the jets in the master tub looked dirty, we were unable to use the safe since it was locked, the door is off the master bathroom closet, there was bath powder on the baseboard behind the 2nd bathroom, I could see the black underneath the toilet rim in the 2nd bath when walking down the hall (I cleaned it). We did call Alan, and he was very nice, and got the cleaning crew back out there to pick up the bedspreads to clean, replace the sheets and replace the shower curtain. The lady that arrived was not very friendly, had an attitude, stated they only changed out shower curtains on Mondays (the place is rented from sat to sat), and they picked up the bedspreads to take them to be cleaned, and changed the sheets. Alan stated that they cleaned the bedspreads approx every 3 months, and that the cleaning lady had never been inappropriate with him, of course he is the one who pays them. There was only 1 extra blanket in the room, but there was supposed to be 3 (we finally got the extra blankets when they brought the bedspreads back). I can't say enough how kind Alan was on the phone about the whole deal, and stated that he and his partner would refund us an extra $50 that we could us on dinner or something, when we received our security deposit. That was a very nice gesture, but was not why we were complaining. It is very uncomforting not knowing if you are sleeping on clean sheets, and the balcony was quite dirty as well. And by the way, when we got our security depost back, there was no extra money. We won't rent from here again, and they need to make some surprise visits to check their cleaning people. Maybe the others just didn't complain, or maybe we were at the end of a long stretch of guest...regardless, would not recommend.

Owner response:We actively encourage guest reviews, positive or negative. This is the only way that we can improve our service. There are some positives in this Guest’s review, for example the Condo was “cute” and the speed of our response and attitude to her complaint. We would now like to address the negatives, 1. The only reason that this Guest had issues getting into the Condo was that she arrived early and the Condo was still being cleaned. 2. The bedspread was not stained with blood, it was margarita mix and unfortunately had been missed by our cleaning staff or this would have been changed. 3. Clean sheets and towels are provided for all guests at changeover. 4. The baths in both bedrooms are cleaned at changeover. The jets in the master bath are slightly “tarnished” and may have appeared to be dirty, but are not. 5. As with the baths both toilets are cleaned and bleached at changeover. 6. There are 4 extra blankets (2 in each of the bedroom closets). 7. The shower curtain in the second bedroom was changed at the earliest opportunity (on the Monday), but, we do not have any policies about only changing linen or other items on Mondays, we are not sure who would have told this to the Guest. 8. With respect to the security deposit and the $50 “good will gesture”, this guest made it clear when we spoke to her that she did not want any additional monies. She also left the Condo in a mess, trash was left all over and dirty dishes left where they were last used, these are just two examples! The $50 “good will gesture” was used to fund the additional cleaning. We have had over 25 different Guests in 2009 and this is the only complaint, all of the other guests have been completely satisfied. All negative reviews are taken very seriously and we have changed some of our cleaning checks to ensure that this does not happen again.

Spent the first week of May 2009 in Condo and had a wonderful time. Condo was neat, well furnished and met all our expectations. The owners went out of their way to be helpful providing timely communications and assistance.

I do not recommend renting from these owners. The condo was not clean when we arrived and smelled of cigarette smoke. Make sure you have a check off list signed when you depart or you will not receive you full security deposit. Please call me for details.

Owner response:This is the only negative response that we have had in 2 years of renting. We believe that this Guest is upset because we charged $60 (receipted) for cleaning a rug that had red wine split on it! The Condo is cleaned and checked after every guest has checked out and is "no smoking"!

THE GUEST BOOK HAS BEEN RESET - THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE COMMENTS RECEIVED BEFORE 01/01/09. We recently stayed in the condo for a month ( Feb-March 2008). The location is very convenient for shopping and good restaurants. Enjoyed long walks on the sandy beaches and breathtaking sunsets. The accomodations are spacious and welcoming for visitors. We added a plunger to the unit and would recommend another towel rack or hooks in the second bathroom. A great location and wonderful home away from home. Thank you. These comments have been taken "on board" and additional towel rails have been added to both bathrooms.

THE GUEST BOOK HAS BEEN RESET - THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE COMMENTS RECEIVED BEFORE 01/01/09. We stayed in this beautiful and spacious two bedroom two bath March15 through March21. This was my third trip to Panama City Beach and by far the most enjoyable. The veiw from the balcony was gorgeous. Its located centurally on Panama City beach within walking distance of many attractions. The most courteous owners i have ever met. Would definitely love to rent same property in the future. Thanks for Everything Sincerely, Clint Graves

The rental company agents were helpful and courteous. The condo was even more lovely than the pictures. The layout of the unit fit our needs perfectly. One of the girls even said that it was like a home away from home. Again, thanks for contributing to a wonderful vacation and we hope to book with you again.
