We jus got back from the Ocean Ritz Rm 1203 and it was amazing. My family and I have been to many spots in FLA from madeira to the keys. We were absolutely amazed how blue and clear the water is in northern FLA. The Condo had great views and was very clean!! plenty of room and close to all the dining and shops. We will definately be going back.

Let me tell you…it’s really hard to come back to work after being away at such a beautiful place!! We all loved it and enjoyed go kart racing, helicopter rides, miniature golf, boat rides to see the dolphins, walking the beach and just simply hanging out on your enormous balcony!! There was plenty to do for all of us (ranging in age from 10 yrs old to 76 yrs old). We didn’t see much of our teenage, marine bound son and his friend but they did check in for dinner and to let us know they were still alive. They had a blast and are already planning a trip back. You’re place was amazing and so accommodating for all of us. I always rent through vrbo.com and your place has been the best with the accommodations, style, size, BALCONY…..everything!!! We will definitely be back and hope to stay at your condo again. You have been amazing and wonderful to work with. Actually, you are probably the first that has kept in contact with us leading up to the trip and after. Normally, I’m the one having to follow up or I only hear from the owners maybe once or twice. So I definitely appreciate the hospitality. Thanks again….you and your condo were WONDERFUL!!

I FOUND IT!!!!

We have just returned, in September, from this gem. I look at several hundred or more vacation homes, condos, etc. for vacation; each time, trying to outdo the one before. But I must tell you, SAVE YOUR TIME!! THIS IS IT! I have finally found my new home. Bad for the owners, great for me! (ha!) It is like my own brand new feeling of paradise. I am all about the view. And WOW, does this place have a view! Lots and Lots of them!!!! Space, space, space...so very big and roomy inside and out! Dream balcony, great and comfortable clean beds, everything you need, including beach toys for the children. I have 2 children (boy, 8 and girl, 11). They are the type that need entertaining, never stayed at the beach, and somewhat picky. At the end of the week, they were disappointed to leave for Disney, as this was such a fun family experience. We did a local mini golf with a maze for a great price.(Sign up in the morning and you get next day included; also, unlimited golf and maze.) Pirate Cruise was fun and they were constantly giving kids little treasures. They take care of your kids on deck, the whole cruise. That was fun for me and Dad. The State Park nearby, was great for shell hunting. We will plan to make this a yearly trip to the condo, if at all possible. Also, you could not ask for more accommodating and kind owners. They are just PRECIOUS! My husband had never stayed on the bch and grew up on Long Isld. He said he fought me on the beach vacations, because he never knew beaches could look so beautiful with such clear water. Now he's totally hooked on our new beachfront condo in PCB. I hope some of my level of excited has spilled into this review, as I will never have to look for the perfect vacation home again...I FOUND IT!!!!

Just got home from Florida . We all (10) had a wonderful week in this beautiful condo. Lots of room for all of us with the gigantic deck that actually is like an extra family room with the blue ocean as the backdrop! The ocean was crystal clear and the sand snow white. It was perfect for our family time and I am so thankful we found this great condo. Thank you Mary and Wayne ( great people to work with too) Mary V, St.Louis

Canadian Beach Bums

Date of Stay: 02/10/11 Review Submitted: 03/02/11

We just came back home to Canada from spending a two week vacation in Panama City Beach. Wow!! Amazing weather. Sunshine everyday with warm temperatures. The only day it rained was on the day we were leaving. Our accomodations beautiful. Right there on the ocean with beautiful veiws of the sunsets and the beach. The Walker's unit was well equipped, very clean and more than accomodating for a family of nine. We had 5 adults and 4 kids. The building was quiet. The balcony was spacious. Plenty of shopping/resturants and site attractions to visit near by. This was our third year visiting Pamana Beach, but this was our first time renting this condo in the Ocean Ritz and we ranked it number one. The pictures on vrbo for this unit is exactly as you see it. You not mislead in any way. I hope that those who are looking for accomodations choose the Walker's unit. You will not be disappointed. We will be back and when we do we will rent this condo again. Thanks to the Walkers our stay was very welcoming. Angela Casselman, Ontario Canada

The "Perfect" Vacation Place

Guest: GT (Goodlettsville, TN)
Date of Stay: 07/31/10 Review Submitted: 08/13/10

We spent a week with our adult children and 2 grandchildren in the Walker's condo. All together there were 9 of us so the 4 bedrooms and 4 baths were perfect for us. We never felt crowded as all the rooms were spacious and comfortable. It is beautifully furnished but not to the point where you were afraid to sit back and relax after a long day on the beach. We practically lived on the LARGE patio at night where there was plenty of room and furniture for all of us to lounge around on at the same time. You will not meet a nicer couple than the Walker's to rent from. They genuinely want you to enjoy their condo as much as they do. I think I have finally found the "Perfect" place for our family to get together every year. Thanks so much Mary & Wayne!

Perfect setting............

Just returned from a week of some serious R&R with my family (Kids & Grandkids). It was a perfect setting provided by the Walkers condo at the Ocean Ritz in Panama City Beach. From the beginning to the final stages of our trip the Walkers were very pleasant to deal with in often very challenging times. Our trip was planned prior to the BP Oil spill which lead to a lot of concerns on our part. The Walkers kept us updated constantly throughout this process which eased our minds quite a bit. The condo was exactly as advertised and fit our family perferctly. I believe you will not find another outdoor patio to match the size and set up of this unit in PCB. The majority of our condo activites centered around the patio area. Every room of this spacious 4 bedroom unit came with it's own private bathroom which is a nice feature. The location to other activities and services was also an added plus. It was very close to a major shopping center, Wonder Works, Pineapple Willy's, Angelos and so much more. We actually walked to most of the attractions. Not only would I recmmend this Condo to anyone looking for a 4 bedroom condo in PCB, we plan on booking it on future trips! Thanks again Mary & Wayne Walker............

We spent a week in June at the Walker's condo and it was absolutely perfect! There was plenty of room for 3 families with children. The bunk room was fantastic. But the real winner was the balcony.... absolutely amazing! Mary and Wayne were wonderful to work with, and I am ready to go back again!

We spent Spring Break at the Walker's condo this year. It is a wonderful property. It's ideal for a large group. We loved the large balcony. The dining room accomodated all of us, so it was great that everyone had a seat during mealtimes. The condo is conveniently located and easily accessible. I think you'll really enjoy staying at this property. I highly recommend it.

The Walker's condo is absolutely amazing! Nothing beats the gorgeous balcony and views!! Wayne and Mary were very easy to deal with and made everything go very smoothly. This was one of the best condos that we've stayed at. We hope to go back there next year! Thanks for allowing our group to spend Spring Break 2010 at your "home away from home."

My family stayed at the Ocean Ritz #1203 in June 2009. We LOVED it! We have been going to Panama City every summer for over 20 years and this was by far the best place we have ever stayed. The condo was decorated beautifully. It also had the nicest kitchen appliances and dishes. Usually condos are equipped with the cheapest stuff. Not this one. All of the pots, pans, dishes and appliances was the best of the best. And the kitchen was very well equipped. All of the TV's were flat panel HD tvs. There was one in each of the bedrooms and one in the living room. The rooms had two ocean front bedrooms with doors leading out to the balcony. Both of these rooms had king size beds that were very comfortable. One of the other bedrooms had a queen size bed and the other had two sets of bunk beds that could sleep 4. The balcony was the best part. It was HUGE. It was equipped with a dining table with chairs, a couch with two chairs and then two chase lounges. The view is spectacular. We will definitely be back to this condo next year. And the Walkers, who own the condo, are the nicest people. Great to work with. Would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for making our vacation this year PERFECT!

06/13/09-06/20/09 This definitely was top on the list of our most favorite family vacations!! The Condo is gorgeous and while the pictures are beautiful they don't truly capture the beauty and spaciousness of your place. We had 9 people sleeping there but often there were 13 of us there for lunch and dinner; and we never felt crowded. From the patio view and furnishings.. to the decor, art work, and excellent communication, not a detail was left out! Thank you so much for making your place available and for the tips and brochures to help us plan the things to do while we were there. We will definitely be back!!!!

I have been to Destin 4 times, but decided to try Panama City Beach after a relative told me about it. I can honestly say I will be back many more times because the beach is much cleaner and has better sand in my opinion. And this condo made it that much better! The balcony is huge and was the highlight of our trip. It has lounging patio furniture and outdoor eating area overlooking the ocean. It is on the 12th floor, so not too high up or too low. It is definitely one of the most amazing views. We watched the sun set every evening and ate most of our meals out there. The bedrooms are wonderfully decorated and offers plenty of sleeping room. There are even two master bedrooms with king beds that both walk out onto the patio. All total, there are 3 doors leading to the balcony and we used them all. It is also equipped with many flat panel tvs and has a dvd player and cable. There is a local phone which was nice to call local golf courses and places to go. I LOVED front beach road and all that it offered right outside our condo. Also, this condo was equipped with a washer and dryer which is great because you can pack half the clothes and just wash them mid-week! haha. All in all, this was the best condo I have ever stayed in and will be back for many years to come. It is a great price and offers so much. Thank you for allowing us to stay here and giving us an unforgettable family vacation!

Just finished my second stay at this condo in as many years. We were two married couples and the relaxation, fun, view, comfort, convenience this condo has to offer is so much better than other properties we saw in Panama City. You are literally minutes away from the mall, eateries and clubs. We enjoyed scooters, go cars, putt-putt, THE BEACH everyday, and several restaurants. The reserved loungers on the beach are a nice touch and the reserved parking was an added ammentiy that we saw other tourists struggling with on a daily basis. Can't wait to go back next year........

Great Condo ! Wonderful, helpful owners.Furnishings are better that most places on the Gulf. If you like a small condo building, with accessible parking, great location, with excellent vacation opportunities, this is a prime choice.

Incredible vacation! The condo was way beyond our expectations! Having FOUR bathrooms was SO nice! There were five of us in the condo, including my 81 year-old mom. She loved the privacy of her own room with the attached bathroom. Our 17 and 14 year-olds also loved their own rooms with the bathroom and more importantly flat screen TVs!! The HUGE deck was fabulous! I could have lived on the deck! It was an extremely relaxing and luxurious place to stay! We will definitely return! Thanks for a great time!
