Welcome to our gorgeous condo in the Seychelles complex. We repainted and tiled the entire unit. The unit has new furniture and housewares. In addition, we added a BOSE Home theater system with iPOD station for your viewing and listening enjoyment. **UPDATE: we added beach chairs to our condo. They are the fold out kind that you take to the beach. They have a pull over that covers you from the sun and cup holders. Guests were complaining that beach service is too far from the water. So, we have these great chairs that you can sit and put your feet in the water and see the view unobstructed.
We have stayed in many condos and we wanted to have something special for our guests. We manage our own condo so there is no middle man. We use the best cleaning company on the beach and I worked in the hotel industry during High School and College so I demand a clean, secure place. You won't find a cleaner place on the beach. We have installed a Kaba locking system. With this locking system, guests don't ever have to go to some office to pick up a key. Your code is emailed or txted to you and you simply go directly to your room to start having a great time.
The unit is on the 16th floor and I chose that because you won't hear the sounds of the pool area but you will hear the waves which we love so much. The elevators in this building are fantastic. They have four and they are computerized so when you enter the lobby downstairs, your code into the building opens the door of an elevator waiting for you. Even during busy times, there is very fast service.
The Seychelles complex has covered parking with security codes to get you into the deck and the same code to allow you to come in off the beach into the pool area.
The Seychelles unit is close to the State Park on the eastern side of Panama City Beach. I chose this complex because it was much quieter than the condos located in the middle of the beach. It is 20 minutes from the airport. The complex is in the center of every conceivable attraction including: dolphin rides, parasailing, restaurants, Schooner's Restaurant, Pier Park, putt putt, water parks, moped rental places, go cart tracks, shopping, and golf courses just to name a few.
The condo comes with all household appliances, soap for your hands, dishes, dish washer, and clothes washer. We have masks, footballs, boogie boards, air mattresses, and other beach stuff so you don't have to buy anything.
There are many restaurants very close by that are the best on the coast per local restaurant magazines. First, Andy's Flour Power for breakfast is to your right and across the bridge on Thomas Drive. John owns the place and its fantastic for breakfast or lunch. This place is ranked number one for breakfast. Next door is Schooners restaurant and bar. It is wonderful for seaside food and drinks. They also have live entertainment in the evenings which is pretty good. In Panama City, the best of the best is Hunt's Seafood restaurant. It is about 5 miles away but the blackened food is to die for. For oysters, there is a biker bar just down the road called Dusty's. It is awesome and I recommend the seafood broiled oysters. I don't know about you but vacation to me is the laughing and smiles of my family, the beach, golf, and FOOD. I hope you choose to stay with us. I hope you love the stay and come back year after year. Please tell your family and friends.

A Wonderful Two Weeks
A Wonderful Two Weeks

This condo more than met our expectations. it was beautifully decorated, clean and reflected a pride of ownership. The only thing we had to do was unpack and buy groceries. Special amenities such as dishwasher and laundry soap plus various toiletries were wonderful. Jay's business dealings with us were both personal and professional. Follow-up phone calls to ensure that all was going well with our rental were appreciated. Our 2 weeks spent in this condo couldn't have been better. All around, this was our best rental in the Panama City Beach Area during the 7 consecutive years we've vacationed there. A special thank you to Jay and Arlene for renting us this piece of paradise. Certainly worth the long car ride from Ontario !!!!!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

Jay's condo was perfect choice for our spring break traveling with 2 high school senior girls. Thank goodness for the 2nd full bath. The bunks were large & the girls were comfortable. We all enjoyed the outside hot tub & pool area. The location was perfect. I loved being able to bike to St. Andrews Park in less than 10 minutes. And the girls were close enough to the spring break activities to make them happy. They learned the shortcuts quickly! Discovered some great local restaurants - Enjoyed eating at Hunt's, Firefly and Bayou on the Beach.. Jay - thanks for all the extra amenities your condo contained for our use - lotion, hand soap, extra TP and paper towels, blow dryers, etc.(even laundry detergent & dryer sheets!) I am used to bringing a "condo box" with those items. Was so nice that you had already supplied them. The unit is decorated very nicely. We all loved the Margaritaville balcony chairs & enjoyed sipping our own Margaritas while watching the sunset. Next time we are at PCB we will definitely book your unit again,Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with teenagers.

Enjoyed a great week in the Condo and it was all that is listed in the description. Jay was very helpful in answering questions before the trip. This is a great get-a-way and well worth the investment as a place to kick back and relax. Would rent again, if it was available, and have shared the contact info with friends.Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+.

The condo was just as advertised. It has a great ocean front balcony, upscale furnishings, and is in a great location. The condo could not have been furnished any better and it truly felt like a home away from home. Additionally, the owner was responsive and very easy to deal with. I will definetly try to stay here again the next time I visit Panama City Beach.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers.
Owner response: Thank you for the great review. Please tell everyone who would needs a vacation that we have a place for them. Thanks again. Arleen and Jay

Location
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2009
About the owner: We are Arleen and Jay and we live in Little Rock Arkansas. I co-own a physical therapy business and Arleen works in the insurance industry. We love the outdoors and pretty much anything that involves the sunshine will get us going. I have two kids. One is in first year of college and the other is in senior high. Arleen has two grown daughters who are in Medical and Pharmacy School. We both have living mothers who are in their 70's and 80's and we love them very much. We love to eat and really enjoy going around to whereever we are to hunt down some really great food. I am not much on the name brand places like Wendy's or KFC, I'm much more into the mom and pop places where cooking is great. We are regular people just living God's blessings and enjoying life. We attend church regularly and come down to the condo about twice per month for a weekend. The drive isn't so bad until I have to go home. I am sure if you have driven here you know what I mean.
Why the Owner Chose Seychelles:
We chose to buy here because the Seychelles place is new, close to the State Park where it is very quiet and still looks like it did years ago. I also chose it because Schooners is next door and with Schooners you don't have to go far to enjoy the nightlife and great food.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
The benefits of the property are very obvious, sunshine, great people, no stress, great food, a beach to run on, a road to bike on, and did I mention the great FOOD!!!!! When you come to this property, you won't have to travel more than 15 minutes to have everything you could ever want in your stay. If you are looking for nightlife, there are clubs 3 miles away, food, is all around you, live music is next door, and activities are all within walking distance.
