Condo was great and right on the beach. The owner's provided beach chairs, sand pails, cooler, picnic basket etc so you do not need to bring or purchase any of the items while lounging and playing on the beach which is awesome! Definitely would recommend this to others.

Amazing View!

My husband and I stayed in the beautiful condo for ten days. The view from the master bedroom and living room are amazing. I loved being able to wake up every morning and the first thing I see is the ocean. The condo was very clean and very nicely located close to everything. The owners were wonderful to work with and answered all my questions very quickly. The reason I didn't give this condo five stars is because I found the bed in the master bedroom to be very uncomfortable....but other than that the condo is awesome!

Fantastic Weekend Away

The pictures do not do this condo justice, as it was absolutely amazing inside. Everything mentioned was included. Has a great assortment of beach toys, chairs and even an umbrella. The sight of the sunrise and sunset from the balcony was worth more than the price of the condo. It is very close to everything you want/need to do in PCB, with plenty within walking distance and nothing too far a drive away. The owners are very easy to work with and will most likely be receiving my family and I as repeat guests in the future. I highly, highly recommend spending a weekend (or more) in this condo.

Perfect Place

My husband and I brought my 85 and 84 year old parents for their 65th Wedding anniversary. It was a great place and decorated just right for my mom's taste. We played puzzles from the collection already there and the TV is a great size with surround sound since they are hard of hearing. They enjoyed the patio and the view the most. Weather cooperated and it was great. The only thing I would have liked was handicapped rails in the bathroom but I knew that going in. Took this place because of location and other great reviews and was not disappointed. Loved the combination lock on the door and not having to worry about losing a key or card to get in.

Okay, but not fantastic

Carpets needed vacuumed. Bathroom needed a rug instead of stepping onto the cold, wet, slippery floor. Also needed towel hooks or bars. The screen doors on the sliders were missing. Smudges on the stainless steel appliances. Several little things like this made it less than perfect. Communication with the owners was difficult. Parking wasn't great. The thing that bothered me most was the instructions left by the owners demanded we not leave a review unless it was a 5 star review! I'll leave whatever review I feel is appropriate, not just what I'm told to leave. Despite all the negatives, the condo overall is pleasant & the view is spectacular!

This is the 4th or 5th time I’ve stayed at this condo it is always clean and the view is amazing. It is located at the perfect location for me. The newly renovated floors and bathrooms are beautiful. The only complaint I would have is the shower heads are rain shower heads and don’t have any pressure to get soap/shampoo off of you

About the host

Host profile image
Welcome to Mermaid Villa at Ocean Villa in Panama City Beach! We purchased this beautiful Gulf-front property in 2013 after years of visiting PCB and falling in love with its turquoise waters, soft white sands, and endless sunshine.
As pharmacists, who value both relaxation and quality time with family and friends, we chose Ocean Villa for its thoughtful design, direct beach access, and unbeatable views. The moment we stepped onto the expansive balcony of this end-unit condo and saw the unobstructed panorama of the Gulf, we knew it was our forever beach home. Built in 2006, the building has held up beautifully with excellent maintenance, and the open architecture lets the sea breeze and views flow through every space.
Mermaid Villa has become our personal escape—a place to unwind after busy lives, host loved ones, and create lasting memories. We’ve carefully stocked it with everything needed for comfort: soft linens and towels, a well-equipped kitchen, premium mattresses, and thoughtful touches throughout. Over the years we’ve hosted family vacations, milestone celebrations, and quiet getaways, always prioritizing cleanliness, privacy, and a true sense of “home away from home.”
We’re excited to share Mermaid Villa with you. Whether you’re here for lazy beach days, poolside relaxation, or exploring everything PCB has to offer, we hope this condo brings you the same joy and peace it brings us. With the largest balcony on the beach, stunning sunsets, and the sound of waves just steps away, you’re in for something truly special.
Thank you for choosing Mermaid Villa—we can’t wait for you to experience the magic of this special place!

Why they chose this property

We realize you have many choices when booking in Panama City Beach, so let us save you some time by highlighting why Mermaid Villa stands out.
This is a true direct Gulf-front condo at Ocean Villa—you are only steps from the fluffy white sand and emerald waters. No roads, no dunes, no long walks—just open the door and you’re on the beach.
Our private, very large balcony is the largest on the beach, and as an end unit, it offers unobstructed views that stretch for miles and miles. Guests consistently say it’s the most coveted Gulf view in PCB. The master bedroom opens directly onto this balcony through floor-to-ceiling glass doors, letting you fall asleep and wake up to the soothing sound of rushing waves—an extraordinary night’s sleep you won’t get in most condos.
Ocean Villa is family oriented yet a romantic place to stay. Families love the spacious layout, pools, hot tub, and easy beach access for kids, while couples appreciate the privacy of the end-unit design, stunning sunsets from the expansive balcony, and quiet evenings with the sound of the Gulf.
Ocean Villa was selected for Expedia’s Select List in 2013 as one of its top-rated resorts, reflecting its quality and guest satisfaction. Panama City Beach was ranked by Travel Advisor as having the third most beautiful beaches in the USA, and Mermaid Villa puts you right in the heart of that beauty.
Practical perks make a big difference: fast elevators for quick access to your floor, ample and free parking for one vehicle (no daily fees), 8 swim bands included (a $320 value), and complimentary seasonal beach service (2 chairs + umbrella, valued at $55-60 per day). These free amenities save your family hundreds during your stay—no hidden costs for parking or beach gear.
Mermaid Villa delivers luxury, convenience, and unbeatable ocean access in one package. You need not look any further. Book Mermaid Villa today—you will be glad you did!

• Award-Winning Reputation -Ocean Villa earned a spot on Expedia’s Select List in 2013 as a top-rated resort, and PCB’s beaches rank among the nation’s best (third most beautiful per Travel Advisor).
