Our 11th floor, 1446 sq. ft. unit, on the West end of the East tower, has large balcony & gulf views.

Since then we have painted most of it again in the off season, and continued to improve and add what we think a home on the beach needs. We are willing to share, so you can rent it & call it your home for a week. We hope you will fall in love & buy your own unit. Failing that, come back and enjoy ours again and again!

Alcohol beach restrictions on PCB? Alcohol is absolutely permitted on the beach for 11 months of the year. However, due to irresponsible behavior on the part of some, alcoholic beverages are not allowed on the beaches at PCB in the month of March. This is because of idiots in the past. Put your drink in a cup with a lid & you should be fine. Sitting up on the pool deck you are fine.
