Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
We are Billy & Jeanna Groome, REALTORS in Memphis. We have two great kids who would live at the beach all year if they could!
Why the Owner Chose Top of the Gulf
Panama City Beach is undergoing such growth and revitalization! It is great to be a part of it. The new PIER PARK complex is wonderful and a real added attraction for Panama City Beach- I love to visit Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville & Tootsie's Orchid lounge to enjoy live music in an open air setting - it is great to have some different attractions than Destin and a really fun walkable unique shopping and dining area on the beach. We go to pier park several times in each visit- movies, shopping, eating, walking around and people watching- there are things for the kids to enjoy and some play areas for the little ones. Our Condo at Top of the Gulf is just the right size and we wanted to create a lovely vacation condo so that guests on a budget could enjoy being directly on the beach with nice furnishings and decor of more expensive locations. We have owned a condo in Destin that cost twice as much to rent and we wanted this to be just as nice. We have been honored at how carefully our guests have maintained our condo while vacationing with us- it has been a great experience!
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
Love being right on the beach - Love watching the ocean while going to sleep or waking up- having a great quality KING sized bed is a must at home and we thought our vacation home should have it as well. Being with our children is the best part of the beach experience & just doing as little as possible! The kids love the bunk bed & the "secret beds" they call the trundle & the sleeper sofabed. Love the brisk sea breezes that always flow through the windows.
