Beach Daze was a beautiful way to spend a week at the beach! Every inch of the condo was gorgeous and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay! This has to be the best condo on the beach!

Owner response:Marcia C: We are so happy when our guests have a wonderful time. We look forward to having you relax at Beach Daze in the future. Take care. Mark

Spring Break 2012

Our stay at Beach Daze was wonderful! This is our second time staying at Beach Daze and our third time staying at Emerald Isle and we LOVE it! The condo is exactly as described and very clean and well kept. We have a 15 year old and stayed during Spring Break. It is the perfect location for fun and sun and it is far enough away from all the college students on Spring Break that you never have to deal with alot of noise and the drinking/partying that goes on further down the beach. We loved that a lot of the restaurants and shopping were within walking distance or a very short drive. The outlet mall in Destin is only 30 minutes away :) Another plus! We would recommend Beach Daze to all of our friends and family.

Owner response:Thank you Deveona & David for staying at Beach Daze a second year in a row. We look forward to helping your family have great beach trips for years to come. Thank you Mark

This is our second stay at Beach Daze, and once again everything was perfect. The accomodations are perfect and the view is second to none. We truly appreciate the obvious care that is given to maintaining this unit. I would highly recommend Beach Daze to anyone seeking the perfect beach vacation.

Owner response:Thank you Sue for the kind words. See you next year. Mark

Great Condo with Superb Furnishings

Guest: Sandra (Cartersville, GA)
Date of Stay: 06/25/11 Review Submitted: 07/12/11

This condo was neat, clean and had beautiful furnishings which certainly matched the pictures shown. The kitchen had great appliances, both large and small, and any pot, pan, utensil and gadget you could possibly need! Detergents and trash bags were supplied which was a big help. Bedding was high quality, not the usual rental linens. Condo is in a good location--close to anything you might like to do or need. Also, the best balcony furniture I have seen--great condition! Owner is easily accessible by phone and always courteous and accommodating if you have a question. Had a great stay and weather.

Owner response:Thank you for the kind words Sandra. Keep us in mind for future travel. Thank You Mark Brandt

Spring Break

WOW..this place is awesome. We went to PCB with 5 other couples, who all stayed in different condos, and they would come to this one and say it was the best by far. Cozy and clean!!! Thanks for the stay and the owner is very accommodating. The teens loved it because they had their own rooms with a nice bathroom attached..I would HIGHLY recommend this for any family needing a clean, quite, well decorated, comfy place to stay!!! Melissa

My stay at Emerald Isle

Guest: Juan (Raeford)
Date of Stay: 03/20/11 Review Submitted: 03/29/11

Hello, I stayed unfortunately for only a 2 days out of a 5 day reservation. Myself along with 3 other Soldiers on leave from afghanistan were kicked out of the condo due to apparently throwing a soda can from out floor. The staff didnt't identify any one of us for doin it. They just called the police and has us escorted out. I myself was on the phone talking while on the balcony and didnt witness the event. The manager kept an attitude and even asked the police if he could press charges as we stood their confused. The previous nite we were asked to stop talking loud at 930 at nite, clearly 30 minutes before the 1000pm quite time, eventhough we were only joking about how good it was being there and not in afghanistan. I have yet to hear any kind of apology from the owner and assuming not getting a refund for the days we didn't stay. I highly suggest if you just want to get away and relax this still wouln't be the place for you since we couldn't even do that being on vacation. If you go to Panama City Beach just to stay inside and watch tv quietly this migh work for you. - Juan

Owner response:Juan: I am sure you and your friends were very disappointed getting evicted by Emerald Isle security and Panama City Beach police during the second night of your stay. I sure was and I really wanted you to have a great time knowing you were on leave from defending our freedom in Afghanistan. However, you left out of your post the timeline of events starting the night you and your group arrived. The building manager called me the first night of your stay around 10:00pm about cans of soda being thrown from the balcony of the unit ten floors up. Not very safe for people on the ground. At that time I tried to contact you numerous times by calling, texting, and emailing. I was finally able to speak with you after connecting with your mother in North Carolina and she relayed a message to you. We spoke and you said you would tone it down. I explained to the building manager that you were on leave and to give a little latitude. He understood but also stated your group was clearly warned that no items can be thrown from the balcony and the next time you would be evicted for everyone’s safety. I sent a text recommending you visit the building manager the next morning in 406 to discuss that you had your group under control. The next night around the same time the building manager called me again telling me they had witnesses that the same soda cans were again flying off the balcony. This behavior resulted in the eviction. Emerald Isle has security rules in place for all guest safety which were mailed with your welcome package and are clearly posted in all elevators. Emerald Isle has a retired sheriff as head of security and the security staff has protocols to deal with situations to ensure safety. You were warned the first night that anything else thrown would result in immediate eviction, and unfortunately your group did not take that warning seriously. The cleaning coordinator verified there was no damage to the unit, so your deposit will be refunded once I get the keys back from security. If any future guest has any concerns regarding this matter, I will be happy to discuss at length or email our 5 year guest book of past guest comments. Mark

From the first minute that we entered the condo, we knew that even if the weather outside turned stormy, it would be paradise inside. The unit is absolutely lovely and the view is breathtaking. Luckily, the weather cooperated the entire week. The 10th floor location is perfect and the close proximity to Pier Park is an added bonus. The owners were very accommodating and the booking process was stress free and confidential. I highly recommend Beach Daze.

Just perfect. Our family has been going to Panama City Beach for years and we have finally found a condo unit that is everything plus some of what the owner told us. We had the best stay ever and will be back. Great comfortable bed too! Thanks Mark

After much searching on the VRBO website, I ran across this property and was drawn to it based on the pictures. I can tell you the pictures truly depict the decor and neatness of the condo. It was clean, decor was very classy and even had nice fluffy towels and very comfortable beds. Plus, the owners seem to really take pride in their property and it showed. I highly recommend it.

You've Got to Rent a Week Here!

Guest: Sun Seekers (Wisconsin)
Date of Stay: 03/01/08 Review Submitted: 04/01/08

This was the 1st time we rented on-line, and it was well worth it. Beach Daze is exactly as the pictures show. And the kitchen was stocked with every possible item we needed. They supplied the coffee filters, kleenex, paper towels and all those extras! The complex itself was superbly maintained as well. And just down the street was an amazing Italian bakery. For a 'spring break' vacation, we were surrounded by families, not the college scene, like other resorts down the beach. It was perfect.

101% satisfied with Beach Daze and with the ease of booking with Mark. Condo has all the comforts of home. We spent most of our time on the balcony enjoying the view and the fabulous sunsets! We would not hesitate to return to Beach Daze and also would reccommend to others!

My friends and I stayed at the Beach Daze. The place is breath taking. It felt like home away from home. We all loved the place, the view, the style, the location, the whole place over all. We met some nice people 2 floors down and their place was not as nice as the Beach Daze. I hope everyone staying here enjoys the place as much as we did...CHEERS!!!!

What a beautiful condo. We had a wonderful Valentines day. We went to the grand opening of Graffiti's in Carillon Beach. It was so good we ate there two nights in a row. Thanks for the prompt attention and courteous attention you gave us.

Very nice, new property! Conveniently located and on a very clean stretch of beach. The unit itself was immaculate, tastfully decorated. Some of the other units I've stayed at before were furnished very spartanly. This place was like staying in someone's home. My only regret was that I couldn't stay for two weeks! Thanks again for your hospitality! Greg G.

We had a wonderful time. The condo was elegantly comfortable. This was our favorite condo of our last 6 visits. We appreciated the paper towels, foil, detergent. Those little touches meant a lot. We will definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful time and your condo was perfect. I think I spent 98% of my time there on the balcony. I am an early riser and what a place to drink my morning coffee! My coffee got cold most of the time before I drank it because I had my hands on my binoculars watching dolphins. We had a great family time together……

Beach Daze Condo is a great place to spend your vacation. The condo is decorated beautifully and is extremely well maintained. The view of the ocean and beach is perfect. We have stayed in condos in Florida for the past 10 years and this was by far the best condo. Our teenagers loved the condo and the area.

Beach Daze is absolutely beautiful...professionally decorated, top-of-the-line linens, fully stocked kitchen. Beach Daze IS a true residence experience. Our 3 and 5 year old daughters loved "their" room. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of your condo. And we loved that it is non-smoking! We cooked everyday, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We did not want to come home! Mark, you were truly a joy to work with. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!
