About this property

Long Beach Resort - Updated, Cozy Coastal Retreat

Welcome to Mermaid's Delight – Your Gulf Coast Getaway!

Located in the heart of Panama City Beach at Long Beach Resort, Mermaid’s Delight PCB offers a perfect blend of comfort, style, and breathtaking Gulf views. Whether you’re here to relax by the beach, explore local shops and restaurants, or simply unwind in a beautifully furnished space, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo has everything you need for a memorable stay.



This Tower 1, 3rd floor unit has been beautifully updated with new stainless steel appliances in a fully equipped kitchen with white quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, a comfortable couch with a queen pull out mattress for maximum comfort, a super plush leather recliner, stylish high-top bar stools, and an extremely comfortable king size bed. This unit offers the most private and widest balconies on the beach with new balcony furniture featuring comfortable and sturdy Durawood bar height table and swivel chair set, and adjustable sun lounger!



Wondering why there are little to no reviews? We have recently purchased this fantastic unit and unfortunately lost all of the highly rated comments and 5 star reviews with this transition. That's ok though, this place is a gem, and with your help we are confident we will have those high ratings and 5 star reviews again in no time!



The minimum age to stay at this property is 25 (per HOA guidelines).



A starter pack of trash bags, paper products, and toiletries are provided which should last a couple of days. Guests should be prepared to bring additional supplies for longer stays.



Unfortunately, no pets are allowed (per HOA guidelines).



Why Choose Mermaid’s Delight?

• Beautiful Gulf Views from a lower level (3rd Floor) : As soon as you step inside, you’ll be greeted by breathtaking panoramic views of the Gulf through floor-to-ceiling windows in both the living room and bedroom. You won’t find better scenery anywhere else!

• Luxurious Comfort: We’ve recently updated the unit with modern touches, including new stainless-steel appliances, white quartz countertops, and stylish furnishings. Enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep in the king-sized bed, or relax on the plush queen sleeper sofa, designed for maximum comfort and don't forget about the updated outdoor furniture.

• Private, Spacious Balcony: Our unit boasts one of the most private and spacious balconies on the beach, complete with bar-height dining furniture and two Adirondack chairs. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or take in a stunning sunset.

• Thoughtful Extras: Unlike many rentals, we provide beach essentials like folding chairs and an umbrella, so you can pick your perfect spot on the sand without relying on limited services.



What Sets Us Apart?

1. Premium Linens & Towels: Forget scratchy, paper-thin linens! We provide high-quality sheets and towels to enhance your stay.

2. Top-Tier Cleanliness: We partner with trusted local cleaning professionals to ensure the condo is spotless and welcoming upon arrival.

3. Comfort Inside & Out: From the cozy living room seating to the luxurious outdoor balcony furniture, we’ve curated a space that’s as comfortable as it is stylish.



Resort Amenities & Convenience:

Amazing condo, communication, cleanliness!!!! 5stars!!!!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we walked in, the condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything our family needed for a relaxing beach vacation. The views were incredible, and being just steps from the beach made it so easy with our kids. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and the entire condo felt like a home away from home. We especially appreciated how clean and well maintained everything was. The location was perfect—close to great restaurants, attractions, and shopping while still feeling peaceful. The owners were fantastic to work with. Communication was quick, friendly, and helpful from booking through checkout. They truly care about their guests and it shows in every detail. We made so many wonderful family memories here and would not hesitate to stay again. If you’re looking for a beautiful, comfortable place to stay in Panama City Beach, this condo is an easy 5-star recommendation!

Cozy, calm, beautiful & quiet

Such a good place location wise. Nice & cozy lil spot. Even with the construction, everything was still peaceful, and accommodating. Great spot / location for the beach. Walking distance to pineapple Willy’s for lunch or the poolside restaurant/bar. Everything was great.

AMAZING STAY!

My Fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with our stay. The view was breathtaking, the condo was immaculate, every amenity we needed was there at our disposal and then some! High quality furniture, comfortable bed, every kitchen utensil we needed and easy access to plenty of local attractions and restaurants. We will be back!!

Absolutely beautiful stay!

This place was everything we hoped it would be and honestly exceeded our expectations. The property was exactly as described, incredibly clean, comfortable, and well cared for. But the view and the beach were the real stars. Waking up to that beautiful view and having such easy access to the beach made this stay feel like a true escape. The beach was absolutely gorgeous, and the location gave us that perfect combination of relaxation, beautiful scenery, and convenience. There’s something pretty special about being able to step outside and immediately feel like you’re on vacation. The hosts were also fantastic. They were responsive, helpful, and genuinely attentive without ever being intrusive. Any questions we had were answered quickly, which made the entire experience easy and stress-free. What I appreciated most was that the property truly delivered on what was promised. Sometimes vacation rentals look amazing in the pictures and then feel different when you arrive. That was absolutely not the case here. It was just as beautiful, clean, and inviting as we expected, and the view was even better in person. We would 100% stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing Florida getaway. It’s the kind of place you leave already wishing you had booked a few more days! 🌴☀️🌊 Five stars without hesitation!

Beyond words!

I travel quite a bit and it is always contentious thinking about the reality versus the description of the listing. I was absolutely blown away when I opened the door and saw how beautiful the condo was and then I was met by a breathtaking view! I stood there for a few minutes just taking in the view and the warmth of the beautifully decorated space. The details and photos are simply insufficient compared to the experience of being there. The ease of access to the beach along with the umbrella and chairs provided was a nice touch and there are endless restaurants in the area that are easy to get to and close to the condo. John and Wendy was readily available and responded within minutes of my messages and were extremely helpful as hosts. I cannot say enough about my experience at Mermaid's Delight and I hope to return soon for another time of rest and relaxation.

WHAT A DELIGHT!

Okay, I want to start by saying, What an absolute delight! This condo is very inviting and warm. If you need a place to just chill and relax and catch all of the action because you’re on the 3rd floor, this is the place. The accessibility is wonderful. This is the second condo my husband and I have stayed in, owned by John & Wendy. They are the absolute BEST! Everything comes equipped. Such beautiful and kind owners. Never met them in person but if we needed anything…..they were just a text away. Always there for the benefit of the renter if something goes wrong. People are just NOT like that anymore. For that, I thank them with my whole heart! We’re planning our next trip to Panama City because of the wonderful accommodations that were so welcoming. Thanks again John & Wendy of Halo Vacation Rentals. Until next time. ~Virginia & Kerwin
