The property was very clean and allowed our two small dogs. Whenever we had a question the owner was very prompt in responding. Access to the beach was perfect and so beautiful! We loved our stay.
Much older than I thought it would be but so cute. Could be cleaned a little better but was not bad for our messy kids. Beds are much more comfortable than other places I have stayed and the sofa sleeper was decent for my 9 and 6 year old.
We had a wonderful stay! Loved this place soo much! Such a great location, close to the clubhouse, pickle ball courts, and pool - and just a short walk to the beach! We would definitely visit again!!
Great location. Just across the complex to a beautiful beach 3 or 4 restaurants, coffe shop and hand rolled ice cream right across the street the complex has several nice area’s for Tennis, corn hole , bbq , pool and clubhouse. Minutes drive to pier park , zoo and anywhere else you may want to go Clean and comfortable
The unit was so cute and well equipped with everything we needed. We had 2 small dogs with us, and the area outside the unit was perfect for them. There was a nice area to be able to take them for a short walk. Good restaurants around us, and the dog friendly beach was not far away.
Worked perfect for our small getaway. Easy access to the beach. Almost everything you need is included from dishes, towels to beach chairs. Great communication and value.
Location was nice. Able to park right at the back door. Patio door overlooked the pond. We had a pretty white heron to watch. Host was very communicative. Kitchen was stocked. Plenty of utensils, dining ware, cookware, blender and microwave. Short walk to the beach. Clubhouse was very nice. Kitchen, tables and chairs, ping pong, big screen tv. Grills outside.
We had a lovely stay at Kim’s property. From making the reservation to check out she was a delight to work with. She answered any and all questions we had. Unit is clean and very comfortable. The walk to the beach takes about 2 minutes. The added bonus of beach lounge chairs and umbrella being provided was so nice. Will be back!
The location was great, easy to walk to almost everything. You can even walk to the grocery store if you don't mind a couple miles round trip but it is an easy walk. The w all to the beach is also very easy and short. The complex is very clean and well kept. Everyone at the complex was very friendly. Did have to figure out how to set the hold temp on the smart thermostate to keep the temp from changing during our stay but other than that we had no issues.
Had a good time but it was the wrong time of the year

About the host
Hosted by Kim Johnson
I grew up coming to the beautiful beaches of Panama City Beach, Fl. I have so many precious memories with my family biking through St. Andrews State Park, fishing off the pier and jetties, watching the boats come in at Captain Anderson's and of course just enjoying the beach. I remember when Sugar Beach was built and feel so lucky to have a second home here. We bought here in 2016 hoping to make more wonderful memories with friends and family. We hope to share our love of Panama City with you!
