Good beach view and lovely beach. Condo itself was very pedestrian/corporate and outfitted with hotel like furniture. This was exactly what was advertised and it exactly met expectations at a very good price. The beach is awesome the town of PCB is a second or third rate Destin. The best part of the condo is its 4 minute walk to the fishing pier.

The condo had a wonderful view of the water, and comfortably housed our group. The unit was reasonably clean, but needs attention in the way of paint and other small details, and we also encountered roaches in the unit.

A lot of rules to be on vacation
For an extra parking pass you had to pay, if your parking pass isn't in marker you get a citation, don't turn in all your wrist bands get a fine, panhandle representative isn't on site, didn't get basic toiletries until the next morning. I never want to stay at Majestic again. Room was good, resort sucks.

Hello :) Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are so glad you had a great time at the beach! Cheers!
Overall we had a good stay. Couple of minor issues that can be easily corrected: 1. None of the bedroom doors lock 2. The sliding glass door to the balcony in the living room is very difficult to close
Big issue: the elevator! There are only 2 elevators which is not adequate for the amount of guests that stay in the condo.
Otherwise everything is just as the pictures look. Absolutely gorgeous view and the unit was very quiet.

When we arrived, the security guard informed us that we had to pay a 50 parking fee, which was not disclosed on the front page. When we entered the house, we realize the floors had not been cleaned so we decided to check the bed linens which were also dirty. The kitchen and one bathroom was clean. One bathroom was dirty. Contacted panhandles and they could not get sheets out to us until 11 PM that night. Cleaning crew would not be able to come until the next day so we went to the store and bought a mop and cleaned it ourselves. The next morning, the elevators broke and we had to walk down 14 flights of steps. Finally got one elevator working, but it was a disaster with only one working elevator and a large unit so we walked down the steps most of the time and waited 20 to 45 minutes every time to go up. Will never stay here again.

Hi Julie, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. The parking fee is disclosed in the property details, and we regret any confusion. We are sorry the cleanliness standards fell short and for the delay in providing linens. The elevator issues were unexpected and understandably frustrating. Please know we have addressed all these concerns with our team to improve future guests' experiences. Thank you for your feedback.

Great condo and fantastic view!
We had a wonderful time in your condo. The condo was very nice, clean, and as advertised. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is that the wifi never worked. We called the rental company and they instructed us to turn off and back on. If that didn't work, the rental company told us that there tech assistant number that we could call. Of course, resetting the router didn't work, but I personally thought that the rental company should have been contacting the tech assistant and not us being on vacation and wasting our time with that. We would stay here again (we just wouldn't expect the wifi to work great).

Subpar, kitchen, air conditioner, filter and air conditioner were filthy, broken towels, missing, lightbulbs, rusty, shower rods, beds were missing pieces, popcorn, falling off the ceiling, standing water with mold in the air conditioning, closet, mold on the walls, air conditioning closet. The condo in the people were very nice but lack of communication with the host and the unit needs to be updated and gone through maintenance is definitely drop the ball

Location was perfect but house keeping and beds left us ready to come home.
The location and overall grounds of the condo were perfect. It was centrally located to many activities, the pool area was amazing, and the beach was perfect. The hitch to this trip was the overall experience of the condo. Upon our arrival it was clean but after only an hour in the condo our feet were black from the floors being so dirty. When you looked closer you could tell it was lightly mopped. In addition the beds were horrible. The mattresses where extremely uncomfortable having us contemplating leaving early. You can feel every spring in them and are jostled every moment of the other person in the bed The other mind blowing portion was that some of the beds were only made with sheets and no comforter (thicker blanket). When asked about it the property managers stated that they do not communicate with the cleaners so they would have no idea. They did offer to bring them to us but seemed inconvenienced and were not kind nor apologetic of the situation. Overall the cleanliness of the condo was not a place I would book again. When you consider the price for the condo for a week the beds and cleanliness were less than mediocre at best. As a family of 7 those are important factors for us while traveling but may not be for others but this was my take on our experience and review.

The property was listed as the West corner of the building, which it was not, it was on the East corner. Huge difference!
The kitchen supplies were a joke. We even had to purchase our own toaster. There was not enough silverware (4 forks) and the same with plates, etc. This place claims to have room for 10 people! The remote for the TV in the main BR didn't work and it wasn't batteries, we replaced them. The dishwasher was difficult to get started due to a touchy door. The dryer took two hours to dry anything because the vent in the outdoor ceiling was overflowing with dryer lint. I could go on and on but I think I've made my point. And then as a farewell gift we found a live cockroach in the kitchen! This place needs an overhaul!

Thank you for the review, Jill. This unit is listed as being on the west end of the beach, next to Pier Park. This is in reference to the overall location of the area, and not the unit's location in the building itself. We see how that could cause some confusion, and we will update our listing.
We weren't able to locate any service requests for the remote, kitchen supplies, dishwasher, or dryer. Following your departure, we replaced the remote, completed service for the dishwasher and dryer, and also made updates to the unit.

Issues!!!
My friends and I paid over $2600 to stay here. It honestly wasn’t super clean, especially the bath tub. There were several holes in the walls and ceiling. We received 5 towels upon arrival when we had 10 people staying. The elevators broke down our week here. We were on floor 14 & had to walk down & up 16 flights of non-air conditioned stairs every time we wanted to go to the beach or pool area. One elevator finally worked again but we had to wait an hour + for it & get smooshed with 17+ people on it because everyone was so tired of waiting. Our WiFi didn’t work & neither did any of the 3 TVs in the condo. We reached out to the property management about all issues & they did little to nothing for us and we got zero compensation for all of our inconveniences. Sadly, I feel the need to leave a poor review so others can see! We will not be staying here again. I’d rather stay in the cheapest motel than climb 16 flights of stairs multiple times a day. It made going to beach seem not even worth it. We are very disappointed.

We were not able to locate any reports from you about any cleaning issues, but we do see that we delivered towels to you after you reached out to us, and it looks like we were able to send someone out for the WiFi the following day. While we are not involved in the operations of the elevators, we shared your feedback with the HOA and we hope for an opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
Property was spacious. Only con is the time to get on and off the elevators.

Our stay
The views were amazing! The location was good! The decor had a nice touch. However the floors were filthy. As soon as we got there the kids took their shoes off and within just a few minutes their feet were black. The walls were a beautiful beachy color but they definitely needed painting. We had to call maintenance immediately as the bunk beds were in terrible shape. Both ladders were loose and unstable for anyone to climb up and one of the top bunks was missing a slat and we were unable to let the kids sleep there. When I made the call to maintenance they said they would send someone out that evening or first thing the next morning. That never happened so I texted them again saying that we were short of sleeping space and that we would expect compensation for not having enough beds. Finally the next afternoon someone came and fixed it. So we went two out of the four nights with not enough sleeping space and paid almost $3000.00. Also couches need replacing as they were filthy. We would not stay here again.

Worst Room we have ever experienced in PCB
I’m not the person to typically write a bad review, but I wish I would have taken the bad reviews on this room more serious. No shower curtain in the guest bathroom, just a liner and no trashcan either. Nothing but a sheet on the guest bedroom. Every wall in the entire place is absolutely disgusting. Needs major cleaning and paint. BOTH of the kids bunks are broken. One has the rail broken off of the top bunk , and the other bunk the ladder is completely broken off and not attached to the bottom two steps. No tv for the kids. No hot water in the kitchen for dishes. The refrigerator doesn’t even keep things chilled much less cold. It leaks all over the floor ,and on the inside where the water filter is. The kitchen trash can is so tiny you can’t even fit one meal worth of garbage in it. NEITHER balcony doors have a lock at all!!! Very dangerous with younger children. Master bedroom again didn’t have anything but a sheet on it. Closet door is completely broken and the master door doesn’t lock. No dust pan was left for us to sweep up sand tracked in. This room needs some major attention. I read a lot of these problems in other reviews from months ago , and just assumed they would have been addressed by now. By far worst room we have ever experienced in PCB.

The condo itself was nice, we loved it. However we were not given enough armbands, had to call rental managers several times to get the rest of our armbands and to get our parking passes, we were told they'd bring us 3 passes they only brought 2, so on top of how much we paid for the condo we had to pay extra for over flow parking during our stay.

Good stay, horrible service and parking
Condo is nice and in a good central location however we spent 2 days trying to get parking passes for the garage (they were supposed to be left in the room). We got numerous warnings on on our vehicles and they were fixing to tow them. I finally got in touch with them and they sent ONE parking pass for our group of 10.

When we arrived the condo was under construction. Floor not finished, plastic covering everything, bed mess. I contacted panhandle getaways they did get us another condo in another location. But not in the area we wanted. Parking was very limited. When I called to voice my concern the assistant manager was very rude and hung up on me. I will never use panhandle getaways again.
