Relaxing Beach Getaway

Property was recently updated before our arrival. It was beautiful with a modern beach vibe. The condos location was perfect conveniently located on the second floor near the stairwell right down to the beach. The beach was beautiful with turquoise water, white sand and the two provided chairs and umbrella were an awesome bonus. We will definitely be back. The only thing the condo needed was a few more curtain panels in the bedroom window because it faces the inside of the resort and has bright hallway lights that never shut off so it makes it seem like daytime in the room at night.

Nice clean place

The stay was great. The 2nd floor was so close to the beach front and enjoyed the views. The only thing about it was the 2 set of elevators are located right outside door. So a lot of noise. Just bring a box fan. Very clean and comfortable for the 4 of us.

This was our 3rd year staying and it just keeps getting better. Location is on point. Close to tons of food and fun. Room is on 2nd floor so no waiting on elevators. Clean, spacious and everything you need. We were able to tell each year upgrades done in the condo.

50th Wedding Anniversary Getaway

My parents are not big party people so instead of a big party, me and my sister decided to give Mom and Dad a vacation to the beach. It was going to be off-season, but we wanted them to be able to enjoy the beach. I reached out to Yulia and Ed, the owners of the condo, and explained what we were wanting to do. They were delightful and said absolutely! I worked with them to plan the trip and the stay. My parents had a wonderful time and said the condo was beautiful! Yulia and Ed even had a basket of goodies to help them celebrate the special occasion waiting for them when they arrived. Mom and Dad texted us immediately that they were so grateful for the time away and for the beautiful accommodations. I cannot thank Yulia and Ed enough for helping make their stay so special. I would definitely recommend their condo to anyone looking for a beautiful get away.

This is by far the best place we’ve stayed in Panama City Beach! The property was recently renovated with so much attention to detail. It was extremely clean and well cared for. Even the kitchen was stocked far better with great cookware and anything we could imagine. The owners were very friendly and responsive to any questions we had. This is a large building but the check-in process and access to the beach made it not feel that way at all. I would 100% stay here again!

We loved our stay at Kokomo!! We were so close to the beach. No need for elevator (even though they were close to room and fast) because stairs were close and only 1 and 2 flights for lobby and beach. Room was very clean, loved the large tv. Owner and manager were quick to respond with any questions we had. We were disappointed that Starbucks was not open for most of the week until Thursday before we checked out. We would highly recommend and would love to stay in this unit again. It will definitely go in our favorites list.

Perfect Spot for a Chill Escape

This condo was exactly what we needed—a perfect chill ambiance with beautiful views and a clean, comfortable space to unwind. Everything was just as described, and once we got familiar with the layout of the building, it was super easy to navigate.For anyone staying, a quick tip: the walkover from the parking garage connects on the 3rd floor. When unloading luggage, you’ll need to take the elevator down to the 2nd floor to access the unit. After that, it’s just as easy to take the stairs—no elevator wait needed.We had an amazing stay and would absolutely come back again. Highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing getaway!

It’s so good!

Love the second floor location. The view could not be beat. The decor was coastal and beachy, but not overly done. Having a parking garage and the coffee shop and the gift shop was very handy. We will definitely be back so happy we came across the spot. They even sent someone to help when we couldn’t operate the TV. So nice. Hope to stay here again next year.

PCB - Spring Vaca

This rental was nicely located within walking distance to many places. It was nice to not have to wait for elevators since they were not all operational. A short flight of stairs away from the parking or beach. Overall our Spring Getaway stay at the Kokomo was the relaxing getaway that we needed. Thank you for the updated space to call home for a week!

About the host

Hosted by Ed Rickers (owner), Yulia Rickers (Manager)

Host profile image
Ed & Celeste Rickers
We've been married 32 years and have five children, and 5 grandchildren and we're still honeymooning:-)!!! Trips to the beach are definitely part of our 'magic.'

Ed's mother moved 35 miles north of here around 1994 so our five children grew up coming to PCB and Shell Island for family vacations. We absolutely LOVE it here and love sharing the experience with others.

We purchased a one-bedroom condo in 2009 for Ed's father to spend the winters and for our vacations, and for sharing too. We now have more than 220 reviews in our four condos with a 4.8-star average in each condo.

We added a two-bedroom in 2015, vrbo.com/815352. We have more than 88 reviews with a 4.8-star average. We added a four-bedroom condo in 2018, vrbo.com/1328254 and we have 57 reviews with a 4.8-star average.

Yulia is our daughter-in-law. She immigrated from Ukraine in 2008 and married our son Spencer in 2016 and they a four-year-old son and a newborn son (April 29, 2021). They currently live in Meas, AZ where Spencer is attending his fourth year of dental school. They've been to the condo many times and love the beach.

What makes this Condo unique?
We offer our causal beachy no-rules vibe with quality and elegance combined with personalized service because we love it when people care enough about themselves and their loved ones to enjoy a beach vacation and enrich their lives with what we call "vitamin sea."

Why they chose this property

We like Emerald Beach managed by Wyndham International. They do a great job managing the resort and provide service that's second to none.

What makes this property unique

You get to work with Yulia, our daughter-in-law. Yulia is an immigrant from Ukraine. She put herself through college in a foreign land and our son was so lucky to meet and marry her. Yulia goes the extra mile because she LOVES making your family trip successful. She LOVES getting to know our guests and she often does extra things for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. She's wonderful and you'll love her and come back again and again like sooo many of our other regular guests.

For instance, here's the latest review (May 2022):

Emery Caroline L.Birmingham
Wow, where to even begin! I traveled here with three of my friends to celebrate graduating college. Knowing this, Ed and Yulia left us a very thoughtful graduation gift, complete with a balloon and card! This was just the icing on the cake of a wonderful stay. Unloading and parking was very easy, and the resort staff was friendly and helpful. The building is very clean and we had no issues with elevators being slow. The beach was so accessible and the chairs and umbrellas were an amazing part of our stay. The condo itself is GORGEOUS. Seriously, we felt so pampered. Everything was super clean and homey, and the decor was delightfully beachy. The view from the balcony is incredible!!! The weather was perfect too which just added to the stay. From start to finish, our trip was so easy. After seven hours of driving the smooth check in process and stay was much appreciated. Would love to come back as a reunion!
