Our Panama City Beach Vacation

We stayed in this excellent condo for a total of 4 nights. It was in a great location and we walked to several nearby restaurants, which was a big plus. The condo was very spacious, even for 5 adults and my 4 year old daughter. We loved cooking meals in the kitchen together, hanging out at the pool, and playing ping pong in the game room outside. Of course, we spent hours on the beach every day and the weather was perfect for swimming and walking on the beach. Hard to beat the beautiful water and sand of this beach. It is truly world class! Thank you for sharing this condo with us!!!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin McGill

Host profile image
My wife and I are currently from Colorado. We have a heart from helping others and in early 2022 we really felt lead to get into the short term rental space...not exactly sure why. After being in it for a while we realized how much we love being hosts. Family vacations and getaways mean so much to us and we want to be able to show love to others and provide an amazing place for great memories to be made!

Why they chose this property

Sugar Beach has been newly updated to provide an amazing high end experience for our guests. With two patio spaces and have Oceanviews every inch of the living space is breathtaking. This gated community is perfect for families and is only steps away from the amazing Emerald Coast. We are also dog owners so it was important for us to be able to provide a luxurious at home space that is pet friendly.
