Once you stay at Pinnacle Port (PP) resort, you'll want to come back again and again. Pinnacle Port is located away from it all, midway between Destin and Panama City - at the quiet, western-most edge of Panama City Beach (walking distance from the eastern edge of the Beaches of South Walton on highway 30A ). Nestled between the Camp Helen state park and the private beach-home community of Carillon, Pinnacle Port resort is protected to the north by the picturesque inlet lake (Lake Powell), making Pinnacle Port resort one of the most secluded and quietest ocean-front resorts on the Panhandle.

Our 2 BR, 2.5 BA home is on the ninth and tenth floor (townhome with two bedrooms upstairs), at the far end of the best wing of the PP tower building. Its unobstructed views of the Gulf, Lake Powell, and the beautiful coastline are breathtaking.

The unique two-balcony floor plan, which is not available in the mid-rise buildings, or in the 1 BR units in the tower, provides for 2 balconies - a 13' x 5' ocean-front and 13' x 5' lake-front balcony - on opposite sides of the condo, each with 2 premium, cushioned counter-height chairs (to see better over the rails), and a sitting chair and a side table.

Our unit has two Serta premium king-sized beds. The lake-side bedroom has a Serta Hotel Select firm king mattress. The gulf-front king bedroom also has a Serta Perfect Sleeper Elite Smart Surface high-end, firm mattress - this is NOT a sofa bed.

A quick ride down the elevator and a walk down a short hall, and you then step off into the sand. At Pinnacle Port, you are on the beach immediately - no lengthy cheese maze board walks or gates to fiddle with.

Incredible location for convenience to everything

Great location. We were convenient to everything in Panama City Beach, 30A and not far from Destin. We took advantage of it all! The beach is incredibly close to the resort, so not a long walk with all of your beach "stuff" to set up.

Beautiful views of the bay or the ocean from either side of the condo. The most thoughtful and up-to-date touches made for an enjoyable stay with everything we could need. Michael is a great host who cares about his guests experience. The only downside was that we couldn’t stay longer…but it certainly gave us something to look forward to coming back to!

Great views as advertised. This unit was clean and very nicely decorated. Unfortunately it was quite chilly when we visited at spring break but still managed time on the beach :) Rosemary beach community is a short 10 minute drive and Publix is just down the road.

The condo was a great place. It is all updated and comfortable. It has a lot of the amenities that you need. It is so bright and cozy. Located on Lake Powell on one side and gulf views from the bedroom on the other side. I would recommend this condo. The owners make sure you have everything you need. They communicate well.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Janocik

Host profile image
We are from Louisville, Kentucky. We have been vacationing along the Panhandle of Florida for about 25 years because we love the area, the beach, and the ocean. We've been blessed with the unique opportunity to buy a summer vacation and retirement home, and look forward to sharing it with other families who are looking for a great ocean-front vacation stay, at a great resort, at a great value.

Why they chose this property

We selected Pinnacle Port due to the memorable vacationing experiences we have had here with our family. The property has fantastic ocean and inlet lake-front views. Getting to the beach is a breeze - no gates or board walk mazes, just steps from the elevator. Pinnacle Port is secluded, has a good selection of amenities, and offers a myriad of activities such as fishing, crabbing, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just relaxing on a quiet beach. Pinnacle Port's location is also a 10 or 20-minute scenic drive to Panama City or Destin to spend some time shopping, dining, and enjoying nightlife. It's also a family-oriented resort with affordable rental rates, especially compared with comparable resort condos in other complexes.

What makes this property unique

The views of the gulf and coast line from the gulf-front balcony are peerless and, to use a cliché, breathtaking. The views of the inlet Lake Powell are as picturesque, and include a lot more active sea life such as our returning great blue heron, ospreys, pelicans, seagulls, and even fish and crabs. Being able to saunter down to the docks with a simple crab trap for dinner, or walk to the beach for a few pompano is hard to beat. Then add that Pinnacle Port is one of the closest resorts to the water, but at the very, very west end of Panama City Beach or at the very east end of famous Highway 30A and you have the best of both worlds - a quiet, family locale with the ability to jump in the car and take an ocean-front drive to either the vibrant goings on at Pier Park's upscale shopping and dining, or the more quiet and quaint beach towns along 30A.
