Beautiful Condo! Perfect view of ocean and pool. The balcony is perfectly situated so you can see the most beautiful sunsets. Conviently located within walking distance to several restaurants. The condo is furnished beautifully yet very comfortable. Wish I could stay all summer! Highly Recommended!!

Can't Go Wrong

Russ and Crystal have an outstanding condo to spend your vacation at. Everything is top shelf all the way to the location and view. We just spent our second Spring Break at their condo and again, it was not a disappointment. Everything is very new and clean. Russ has always taken care of any questions or concerns. I would recommend staying here to anyone. There are many things to do in the area. We took on a new with a sunset ride on the Sea Screamer boat tour. I don't know why we have never done that before in the the two previous trips to PCB. Captain Andy has a great thing going at a great price of 20 bucks, $1 water and pops, and $2 beers to go with lots of dolphins. We will be coming back.

Best Vacation

My family had the best vacation at this condo. It was beautifully decorated and the view was absolutely the best!!! We saw dolphins playing in the gulf every morning. We searched online for hours to find a good condo, and this condo was by far the best. The pillow top beds were a major plus that helped us sleep like we were at home. Russ was very helpful and gave us all the information we needed for our stay. I had read online reviews about other condo units having difficulty with the front desk, but we were able to bypass the front desk because everything we needed was provided by Russ. I highly recommend this condo. Our family will stay at this condo next time we are in PCB.

FIRST CLASS - the absolute BEST in PCB ! ! !

After endless hours of searching every condo complex in PCB, this unit and property is by far the absolute BEST! This is first class all the way! Having a reserved parking spot on the same floor as the condo unit was too easy, stairs just outside the door was so convenient to the pool & beach - we were up and down those steps several times a day, the elevators were never a problem and the pool is hands down the most incredible in PCB! The condo was beautifully decorated as if a model unit, the beds were exceptionally comfortable, tons of room, clean - clean - clean and the view - oh the view!! It just doesn't get any better than this! Russ, going through you and not the front desk made the experience just that much better! Not a minute was wasted dealing with check-in and check-out. Thank you Russ for putting up with all my questions! You were wonderful to deal with!!!

Should be called..." PICTURE PERFECT"

Date of Stay: 07/16/11 Review Submitted: 07/19/11

We stayed in this condo while attending the USFA World Series tournament in PCB. The views from the balcony are Picture Perfect. You have an unobstructed view of the beach east or west and also the pool. The pool is HUGE and was perfect for our 3 grand kids. The condo was very clean and fit my families needs to the fullest. Russ & Crystal were great to work with and we look forward to staying here again.

This unit is the best. The view of the pool and ocean are wonderful and at just the right level. The unit itself it so clean and wonderfully decorated. I could not ask for a better place to stay while at Panama City Beach. We just love the unit and the area. Russ is great! We have made this our yearly vacation for 3 years now. We can't wait to journey back next year.

Owner response:Thank you for choosing our unit for your family vacation destination! Our goal is to earn each families repeat visit to Panama City Beach. We always try our best to make sure our families are well taken care of. We would love to have you come back and stay again. Russ & Crystal

One word to describe this place... AWESOME

When you pull into the Shores of Panama entry way you know you are somewhere VERY special! Traveling through the parking garage is a little tricky if you drive a big SUV, but we made it. The condo has its own reserved parking spot right beside the entry door which is very handy. It is a long stroll to the condo's front door, but the walk is well worth it, plus you get to check out the happenings on the strip and at Pineapple Willy’s on your way. When arriving at the front door of the condo you have a great view of the pool/garden area/tiki bars which make you feel like you are in a tropical paradise. Once inside the condo you will be amazed by its beautiful and modern décor. The first bedroom has a view of the pool out the window with an attached bathroom and washer/dryer. Then as you move your way down the hall there is a bunkroom with its own private restroom. The kitchen has all new appliances and every kitchen gadget you would ever need. The living room has a nice leather couch, two chairs, and huge television. Just outside is a wrap around balcony that has a view of the pool on one side and the ocean on the other. There is plenty of patio furniture to enjoy the views from balcony. The master bedroom has a view of the ocean and its own private door that leads to the balcony, along with a full bath. Just a few more notes, the beds and linens are very comfy and their are plenty of towels and washcloths. There was also a closet full of beach chairs and beach toys to use while at the beach. I stay in PCB all the time and this is the best condo I have ever stayed in. The owners are very nice and helpful. I will be back to visit this condo again.

Owner response:We are so thrilled that you enjoyed our beautiful condo! We too feel as though the Shores of Panama is special. We attempt to provide all the accommodations to make your stay care free and memorable. The photos don’t do justice to the views from the wrap around balcony. We would love to have you come back and stay again. Russ & Crystal

The view from this condo is absolutely breath taking. The condo is beautifully decorated. The pictures attached to the condo viewing, doesn't do justice to how nice it really is. The view, The decorating, The convenience. The mattress in the master suite is so comfortable...You feel like you are at home. Thank You for giving us the opportunity to share you wonderful home away from home.

We loved this condo. The weather was cold, but staying inside was no problem. The view is great and the condo is very private. The indoor pool and hot tub was a nice perk. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Russ!

A beautiful condo with a spectacular view of the gulf

Hi Russ & Crystal, we had a great time in your condo, every thing you needed and more, the view from your balcony was spectacular. The beds where so comfortable and the decor was lovely. It was also nice to have the large flat screen televison to watch the Olympic games on. The court yard is beautiful with the pool and hot tub, and the one in side as well. It was nice to have the Walmart across the street to walk to, to shop. Lots of good places to eat in, our favourites where Pineapple Willy's next door, and Montigo Bay in Edgewater Plaza, Applebee's and Hammerhead Fred's. If you like to find sea shells I recommend Crocked Island East Beach Road just pass Tydnal Air Base on the right, pack a lunch and spend the day. We would certainly love to stay again at Russ and Cryatal's beautiful condo and would recommend any one else to do the same. Thanks again Russ and Crystal.

We are so excited to be the first to have stayed in this wonderful condo. The pictures dont do justice for this unit. Where do I start....The beds in this unit are wonderful. The wrap around balcony was wonderful, my mother was with us and she enjoyed being able to watch us in the ocean and at the pool. We have a 6 year old and a 2 1/2 year old and the bunk area with the wall hanging LCD tv/dvd player was great. The zero entry pool was a great accomidation for our little one . Russ was so kind to us and we want to just thank him again for sharing his beautiful condo with us. I could go on and on. We will for sure be back again! We cant wait until next year. If you are looking for a great trip check out this unit!!!
