We enjoyed staying in Vycki's Sunbird condo. We planned this trip last year and couldn't wait to get away from stormy weather in Kentucky. Normally, we stay in well-known beach front hi-rise hotels in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, AL. After some recommendations from friends and a desire to try something different, we looked on VRBO for a cozy condo located right on the beach with a pool in Panama City. We were sold once we saw the listing and all the photos and Vycki was a pleasure to work with. Very spacious condo, colorful and cheerful place with all the amenities you could ask for. Positives: large condo colorfully decorated, location (we prefer the end of beach from Pineapple Willy's eastward), nice beach with plenty of chairs, across street from The Wharf (which features a great all-you-can-eat filet mignon/snow crab buffet), conveniently located to the usual WalMart/McD's, etc. The weather was great for us - out of 11 days, we only had 1 total rainout day. The balcony was great to kick back on each night and watch the "flashlight people" swarm the beach and enjoy the day coming to an end. Negatives: some folks staying at Sunbird don't understand the concept of a trash chute, some folks have no pride and litter the grounds, parking lot & beach. The crowds at most restaurants/bars are large and an early start with patience is necessary. We found that, as a couple, we were able to be seated faster than families, especially next door at Pineapple Willy's - just sit in the bar and order the full menu. If you don't like crowds, then Panama City isn't for you. We highly recommend Vycki's condo and hope you have as much fun as we did. Tom & Dixie, KY.
