Great stay!

Last minute decision to book for spring break did not disappoint. Everything went smoothly every step of the way. Great hosts, lots of extras not found other places, clean, comfy beds, and best of all was the view! We took suggestions from our hosts of a dolphin cruise, ate at some great restaurants, so much to do a rainy wind day did not spoil the fun! Lots to do in close proximity and amenities on site. A great get away for all of us.

A beautiful view of the sunrise and sunset on the ocean

The beach close to this property had many sea shells. This pleased my daughter who liked to find seashells. She went into the ocean water even though it is now December. She was surprised to experience pockets of warm water while she was in the ocean. My family really enjoyed the white beach. This was my first time to the ocean. I plan to come again.

Perfect spot!

We stayed in the condo and had everything we needed provided. It is right on the beach and so conveniently located to Pier Park which has many stores and restaurants. We took a ferry to Shell Island and we didn't need to buy chairs, umbrellas or a cooler since those amenities were all in the condo already.

Breathtaking

My family and I had a great experience at Tidewater Resort. We had great hospitality, great communication from our host and plenty of things to do on the property. Great suggestions on restaurants and places to see. The condo was clean and inviting. Lots of room and the view off the balcony was breathless. We would definitely come back.

This is a fantastic getaway with beautiful, relaxing views of the gulf.

The condo definitely lives up to its name - Hell of a View. We loved sitting on the balcony watching dolphins play in the gulf water in the morning. We even saw a bald eagle one morning. During the day, walking the pristine beach was a highlight. The evenings brought spectacular sunsets. The condo is fully equipped with everything you might need during your getaway time. We enjoyed dinner at various nearby restaurants on the beach. Highly recommend Paradise in PCB!!!

Amazing Sunsets

Every year we look forward to coming here. No matter the weather or during what season, there is always something for us to do. It’s just so conducive to relax, sleep in, and enjoy the amazing sunsets! This kitchen is equipped so we can make some amazing gourmet meals. The nearby restaurants are always tempting too! We look forward to coming back to this unit next year. Thankyou for sharing your slice of paradise with us.

Hellofaview

Wonderful condo. The view from the balcony overlooked the gulf and was stunning. The condo was very inviting and decorated beautifully. The kitchen was well stocked with all sizes of pots, pans and cooking utensils that fit our needs. The air fryer was a plus that you don’t see in most rentals. Wendy has made this condo a welcoming home away from home. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to book a stay in PCB!

Family vacation

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The condo was exactly as described and the view of the beach was equally as amazing. Wendy was very responsive any time I had a question which is so important. the location of the resort was right in the middle of everything. We were terrified of the elevators before arrival since that’s all we heard about for months prior to our stay, but we were very fortunate every time we needed them. Our wait was never longer than 5 or 6 minutes. An added plus was they had chairs and an umbrella available for our use, which made it so convenient. I will definitely stay here again if we return to PCB!

Great place- highly recommend for a very relaxing vacation.

Incredible views, close to everything. The condo was clean and fresh with a great beach vibe. We really appreciated that many items were provided for our use, such as beach chairs and coolers. Everything went perfectly, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The parking garage was secure and easily accessible. My wife and I spent 11 days there and we did not want to leave. While writing this review and reflecting back on our stay, I was trying to think of anything that was problematic--- there wasn't anything. We would definitely go back. In fact several friends, after hearing about our experience, want information on the condo themselves. Thanks for providing a great place to enjoy a relaxing vacation!!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Petersen

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Wisconsin with our two children. Owning a beachfront property was a dream of ours for many years. We took multiple vacations to different beach communities and always came back to Panama City Beach. The beautiful turquoise water, white sand, and colorful sunrises and sunsets did not compare to any other place we had seen. Over the years we have fallen in love with the community and people as well. All of the activities and restaurants in the area allow us to experience something new each time we visit. Our dream now is to own more vacation rentals in PCB and move to the area someday soon. The song "Hell of a View" by Eric Church quickly became our theme song when we bought our beachfront condo.

Why they chose this property

We chose this condo at Tidewater Beach Resort for many reasons. The quiet location less than a mile west of Pier Park allows one to have easy access to tons of activities, restaurants, and shops while still being in a quiet area without the crowds that you may see further east. Tidewater is also the closest resort to the airport, making it easy to fly in and get around without having to rent a car. The numerous amenities at the resort for everyone in the family to enjoy make it easy to have a great time without even having to leave the property.

What makes this property unique

Ramp from resort to beach and elevators on every floor make everything very accessible.
