About this property
Oceanfnt,Mst-on-Glf,Free Bch Svc
Stand at the edge of the Gulf on the biggest balcony at Grand Beach View and enjoy PCB's most coveted view. This direct, unobstructed view of the gulf from our balcony is indescribable and the best in all of the gulf as stated by our guests. Uniquely, the master bedroom opens onto inviting, swishing emerald green waves and white, fluffy sand through patio doors with ceiling to floor glass. While sipping your Margarita from this larger end unit, you see amazing sunsets! Book now while available!
Grand Beach View at Ocean Villa built in 2006 and it's 1174 square foot floor plan easily accommodates 6 people. Two bedroom suites each have private bathrooms and the master bedroom opens directly onto the balcony and gulf for secluded sunset cocktails and midnight stargazing. Grand Beach View is stocked to the nines with goodies like soft towels and linens. You'll, also, have complete complimentary access to exercise area, steam room and sauna to keep up with all issues health related while enjoying your vacation.
Plan your stay at Grand Beach View to include plenty of time for lazy days on nature's finest beach, where aqua tides lap powder-soft sands. We provide two beach chairs and one umbrella inside the condo; guests always leave beach toys to share by paying it forward. Then slip into one of two glistening pools with one heated seasonally or a large hot tub and feel as though you've stepped right into the sea itself. Thanks to the property's thoughtful, open architectural construction, you will have access to gulf views all of the time.
When you arrive at Grand Beach View, you either park on two floors directly under the building or the three story covered garage across the street via a covered crossover. We provide free parking pass for one car and 6 swim bands (a $240 value). If you need an extra pass there’s only a $20 charge. Then your family or friends will self-check in with a digital lock; so, no keys to keep up with or share. Grab a luggage cart; drop your bags and speed off to your condo on one of three elevators.
When it's your turn to cook, the well-appointed kitchen includes gorgeous granite countertops, masterfully crafted woodwork, and a suite of stainless steel appliances ready to help create stunning meals for your group. Here, cooking is a true experience!
Seat up to 8 people to a feast between the dining room and bar chairs, or have an al fresco dinner on the sprawling balcony table. And, if hungry for a steak grill it on site with the gas grills and eat at poolside. Or, if everyone is too relaxed to cook, take a short stroll for some inspiring local cuisine, ranging from beach dives to upscale restaurants. No matter what, you will get the locally sourced and rich food culture for which PCB is famous.
Grand Beach View sleeps up to six people, and includes two master en-suite bedrooms (one king and one queen). The king bed has a memory foam mattress. Both bathrooms are full baths including a tub and shower. You will have total privacy at Grand Beach View. It is not a shared space. There are common spaces, like the pool, hot tub, gym, sauna, steam room, garage, beach, etc that are shared. You must be at least 25 years old to rent at this family oriented complex where noise and unruly behavior are not tolerated.
After an idyllic day of para-sailing and jet skiing, it gets even better: return to your private, magnificent condo, where uninhibited views of the emerald blue-green waters, dolphins and comforts await from the largest balcony in PCB. Relax into a chair on the balcony for an evening of sea air and sparkling, starlit skies. Mix your favorite rum cocktail and toast that YOU are here in paradise!

About the host
Hosted by Steve Beckerdite or Debbie Beckerdite
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!
