Very cute unit. Excellent communication and response time from the owner.1 block from the beach, choice of 4 pools on the complex so never too crowded. Owner provided nice accessories to enjoy the various amenities also.Thank you!
Our host was very good with communication, the property was clean and comfortable. Very close to the beach and the amenities were great too. We will be back! Highly recommended!
The location was perfect close to everything. The access to the beach was great just a short walk across the street. The unit was just as nice as the picture show.
We enjoyed our time here. This is the less busier end of the beach so it is a little more quiet. The condo was clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for cooking our own meals. It was nicely decorated. Would stay here again.
We came to PCB for a wedding, and this condo couldn’t have been any better! We did not choose it for the beach, but were pleasantly surprised to be so close. We had a blast!
The property was updated and clean. The owner was very responsive and answered any questions we had. The condo was a short walk to the beautiful gulf shores. Everyone in the family enjoyed our stay.

We are so glad you all had a great stay. Please come back and stay with us again
We had a blast staying at this condo, everything was clean and well managed. If I had a question, Kim was very quick to respond or offer help. We loved the location and the easy access to the beach. The resort was nice and we really enjoyed that the condo overlooked the pool so we could keep an eye on the kiddos if they were down there with their grandma!
We were in a situation where we had to change our Summer vacation plans practically last minute. I was very happy to be able to reserve this location on such short notice. The price was great for the accomodations and location. Comfortable unit with very nice pool below. Very convenient to nearby Pier Park, lots of restaurants, shopping, beach access across the street from complex. We even explored over to Grayton Beach State Park and inland to other State parks. We were looking for a centrally located "home base" and this unit definitely worked out. We had a great time.

Thank you. Come stay with us on your next beach trip!
Our stay was amazing about 5 mins from the beach and it was super peaceful, Kim was amazing with answering all the questions one thing I will say is you do need to get the bracelets to use the amenities because the security guards drop by the pools and amenities to check and make sure you get you’re parking pass or they will leave you a note on the vehicle overall we will be back to this beautiful place
Well maintained. Nice extras. Safe and secure. Upstairs Neighbor did not observe quiet hours Thursday night. We would gladly return in the future. Thanks for a great stay. PS. Our 12U team won the championship for the silver bracket. Icing on top.
The condo was nice and made due for what we needed. The only issues we had were the curtains in the main bedroom are very sheer so a lot of light came in at night so we had to put blankets over the window to black them out. Also the main bedroom does not get any air conditioning. There is a ceiling fan and 2 standing fans to help with that but the room being cooler would have helped us sleep better. Other than that we would consider staying here again in the future.

Nice unit, nice property manager.
The condo is in great shape. The master bed is somewhat weird, as you feel like you’re sleeping on a decline. We just slept at the opposite end of the bed. We didn’t buy the bracelets as we were only there for a day and a half, and our time was spent at another property with friends who didn’t have to pay for bracelets to be there. Honestly, the whole “pay for bracelets to be on property” is a scam, and will deter me from staying at this property, or similar, in the future. As the bracelet policy is more of a condo association, and not that if the owner or property manager, I’ve not considered this in the rating of the property, which I felt was better than expected.
This was mine and my spouse 2nd year staying and as always, as great as the 1st year. Property was clean. Could walk to the beach. Security. And plenty of extras on site ie tennis , swimming pools , tennis courts, and gym. I recommend to absolutely anybody to include a family. It sleeps up to 6. Very minimal complaints but also a part of it, the neighbors upstairs was in fact a herd of elephants. It was constant back and forth but kids , right? The drains ran a little slower draining this time but again maintenance and stuff happens. Speaking with the property manager has always been a breeze. She has even worked with me on rescheduling after a family emergency came up. We will be back next year. Definitely are only chosen spot to stay!

Needs a good cleaning
This property has a great location but It needs a good cleaning. There was so much dust stuck to the ceiling fans that it was flying off when the fans are turned on. Dust and cob webs behind the bedroom television. Part of the vertical blinds missing in the bedroom so you get awakened by the early morning sun. During my stay I never could find the remote for the master bedroom TV. I really don’t understand how Kim can be a premier host with such a DIRTY place. During time of Covid the host should be taking extra precautions of making sure there place is clean and ready for renters. You can tell this place with the amount of dust hasn’t been cleaned since before Covid. Stay away if you have allergies.

This guest reached out to me 2 weeks after he stayed at our condo to request his cleaning fee back. If the condo had been that DIRTY I can only assume I would have been contacted upon check in or during their stay. I’m sorry this guest felt this way. We have not had any complaints prior to his stay or after.
Absolutely loved the condo. Was clean. Spacious. Everything we needed inside to include towels, dishes, soaps, beach chairs , to having access to pools, fitness center, 10 min tops from everything, and could walk to the beach with out having to fight parking. I will be booking again next year for a week long instead of a weekend. The host messaged me back within minutes with answers to my questions, even though I over read them (which is my own fault) but she was kind, helpful, and courteous. I highly recommend! Will be booking again. Thank you so much for the peaceful getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Kim Griffin
Growing up in south Georgia, Panama City is pretty much the only beach I've ever known. My mom and I have enjoyed coming down to Panama City Beach our entire lives. Nothing beats the white sand and clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It seems like all your cares and worries just disappear as soon as you hit that Bay County line. The wind at your back, the sand in your toes and the waves and sun rays dancing on your skin. And when she asked me if I'd like to go in and buy a condo at the beach with her - I jumped! So our gain is your gain (at least for a little while...LOL) We hope you love the beach as much as we do. Come down and stay awhile. We hope you have a great time!
Cheers! Kim & Vickie
