FLOORPLAN
⭐ Our split 3 bedroom + Bunk Hall and 3 Bath beach condo is newly renovated and provides ample privacy and cohesive flow throughout the space! Each bedroom has a King Size bed and new 55-inch Smart TVs. We have even upgraded our TV options to include HD Channels, HBO, and Starz. We know you might have to work while on vacation (and that some condos just use the resort's Free Internet) so we have upgraded to include our own private High-Speed internet (Streaming Options for up to 8 people at once). The private balcony can be accessed from the living room or master bedroom. Outdoor entertaining includes a large gulf-facing balcony with a table that seats four and another casual sitting area situated perfectly with two chairs. We also added two loungers for sunbathing or just relaxing. Anchors A Wave is a generous 1,687 sq ft. and is perfect for family beach weeks, girls' getaways, guys' golf outings, and group excursions. Please note the sleeping arrangements:

⭐King Master Suite w/ Large Double Vanity Master Bath (Soaking Tub and Glass Enclosed Shower) Sliding Doors Lead out to Balcony w/ Endless Gulf Views (Sleeps 2)

⭐King Bedroom with Private Bath w/ Tub/Shower Combo (Sleeps 2)

⭐King Bedroom (Sleeps 2)

⭐King Bedroom (Sleeps 2) with direct access to hall/shared bathroom

⭐Queen Size Sleeper Sofa in Living Room with Upgraded Mattress

Anchors A Wave is a top-notch option for vacation rentals in PCB! Soak in the coastal breeze of the Florida sun from your expansive gulf-facing balcony. Wander the sandy beaches of PCB or stroll the local shops on Back Beach Rd. just steps from our condo. Visit the PCB Fishing Pier to try your luck for some fresh sea fare. No bites? NO problem. Gather the group and head to The Wharf for all-you-can-eat crab legs!

Other things to note

This includes two kitchen trash can liners, two dishwashing packets, mini shampoo, conditioner, lotion, one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and one roll of paper towels. We supply bath towels, washcloths, and hand towels. We do not provide beach towels, laundry detergent, seasonings/spices, zip locks, or liquid dishwashing detergent. You can pick up your favorite items at the nearby Walmart, Target, Publix, or Winn-Dixie.

Wi-Fi
⭐ Our property provides a Resort Wi-Fi and a Private Network. The Wi-Fi info will be found in the property binder on the kitchen counter. We know WI-FI is essential to everyone. However, we cannot guarantee the internet speed or signal strength. We have found that our Wi-Fi signals are not optimal during peak season due to the number of people visiting our area. We suggest you bring your hotspot device if you need high-speed internet during your stay. **Bring your passwords for streaming services.** Don't forget to log out when you leave.

PARKING
⭐ Maximum of 2 vehicles (strictly enforced). Guests must register online with the vehicle make and model before the check-in date and pick them up at the front desk at check-in. The fee is up to $105.00. Link to the registration portal will be emailed after the booking is complete. The resort is very strict on parking and unfortunately, will not allow more than 2 vehicles per reservation. If you have more than 2 vehicles, there is a -pay-to-park lot around the corner from LTW,

BEACH SERVICE
⭐ Complimentary beach service is not included. However, rentals are available through Adventures at Sea. They also offer banana boat and jet ski rentals! Please inquire for more details after bookings.

POOLS / HOT TUBS
⭐ There are five pools (one heated - seasonally) with large sunning decks, 2 huge hot tubs, and a kiddie pool! No alcohol or glass is allowed near the pool/hot tub. You are not to use the hot tub amenity if you have consumed alcohol or are pregnant. You are not permitted to add anything to the pool/hot tub, including bath salts, bath bombs, etc. Any damages or extra cleaning resulting from misuse or additives will incur damage fees of $500, including the total replacement cost. Please review and adhere to the Safety Precautions sign next to the amenity. Use the amenity AT YOUR OWN RISK! No jumping or sitting on the hot tub cover. Any damages to the cover will incur a damage fee of $500. Please note additional rules for more info.

GRILL
⭐ Grills are not allowed on the balcony. The resort has a wonderful community picnic area with grills on the Lake side of the resort.

⭐ Our property currently does have an entry camera, and the resort does have cameras. If you touch or tamper with the cameras, you will be asked to leave the property immediately without a refund and will be held responsible for any damages.

PETS
⭐ Absolutely NO PETS. If you bring a pet of any kind, you will be charged an additional $500 per pet and be asked to leave.

BOOKING
⭐ You must be 25+ to book

CHECK-IN/CHECK OUT
⭐ Check-in any time after 4 pm CST. Check-out is any time before 10 am CST.

EARLY ARRIVALS
⭐ We would love to accommodate early arrivals. However, it is nearly impossible during the busy season due to increased traffic delays and a limited workforce. Therefore, if you have an early flight, please plan to book an extra day so that you may check in before 4 pm. If that isn't an option, one of our favorite public beaches is Pompano Joe's in Miramar Beach. It offers large bathrooms, plenty of parking, and a beachside restaurant. Our PCB properties have many options for public beach access, but our favorite would be Public Beach Access 54-57, right in front of Pier Park! Since we are always on a tight schedule, we ask that all guests depart promptly at 10 am CST.

KITCHEN
⭐ Fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, bakeware, glasses, mugs, plates, flatware, cooking utensils, coffee maker, and fire extinguisher located under the sink.

SMOKING
⭐ NO SMOKING on the premises. You will be charged a minimum of $1000 fee for smoking inside the property.

REFUNDS
⭐ Absolutely NO refunds or discounts due to weather, natural disasters, or any other situations beyond our control.

*Laketown Wharf charges a mandatory fee of at least $105 for parking and wristbands. This one-time charge will provide your party with wristbands and 2 parking passes. This fee is not included with the cost of the rent. The fee is subject to change as it is set by the onsite HOA.*

Girls (And kids) Trip 2023
3 Nurses and their children taking a much needed beach trip! The balcony was our gathering place, so much space and such a great view! The rooms were spacious and comfortable. It was very easy to get around the property, and the beach was easily accessible. We all decided we would definitely keep this place in mind for future trips!

Awesome condo!
The condo was great - lots of space for 4 tween/teens and 4 adults. Had everything we needed, was in great condition, very comfortable! We only had a long elevator wait twice the entire week - it really wasn’t bad at all! However, we will never come back to PCB during this time of year. Because it wasn’t college spring break time, we expected it to be mainly families enjoying school spring. The beach and property were full of high school spring breakers. Police everywhere. Smell of weed everywhere. Had to walk through thousands of kids to get to a quiet spot on the beach away from the partying, swearing, etc. I never felt comfortable allowing my kids to go anywhere on property unchaperoned. Horrible traffic. It just wasn’t the relaxing vacation we were expecting.

Forever Vacation Rentals
Shannon and I moved from St. Louis, MO to Destin, FL in the Summer of 2011. I have over 20 years in the Property Management field, including Vacation Rentals, Multi-Family, and Senior Living. I am also a Realtor with Worth Clark Realty. Shannon is our “go to guy” and always goes above and beyond. He handles the majority of operations, which includes Inspecting and Scheduling Turns, Owners Statements, Accounting, and helping to oversee our Housekeeping Department. You will find that we are passionate and very hands-on. Not only are we available to our Homeowner's at all times, we are also available to our guests.

God has blessed us with our two children, Riley and Jax. Our hearts and home are also filled with our fur babies! We look forward to our Friday night movies at home with our children, fishing (although we aren't any good at it – haha), church, and Sunday football. We are very family oriented and find that most homeowners become like family to us.

In the Spring of 2016, we expanded our business by hiring Debbie. She is my amazing mom! When it came time to hire someone, it only made sense to bring her on board! You honestly can't find a more caring, loyal, and trustworthy person! Debbie handles all of our reservations and during the summer months, she helps with our inspections. If you ever want to hear a friendly voice and be uplifted, call her!

We can't forget about the rest of our team! EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. on our team is important to our success. Our goal is to hire folks with passion, enthusiasm, and motivation to win! We want them to know that no detail is too small, and a happy guest is a repeat guest! There is nothing more rewarding than to receive a compliment about how genuine and hard-working we are! Small gestures go a long way in this business! We love to WOW!
