The room was very clean! The wrap around balcony made for amazing views and the designated parking space was very convenient. We will stay in this same room again!

The location and facilities were as expected...convenient, and very pleasant. Views of the Gulf awesome!!! We enjoyed the deck especially at sundown. Construction noise was minimal and as expected. Appreciated the heads-up.

It's great to know the construction noise was minimal and that our heads-up was helpful. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another stay. Thank you for choosing RealJoy!
Panama Shores is my favorite. This condo has an amazing view and the property Manger was very responsive. The only thing I would suggest is to lower the king size bed
Kasia, we love that you enjoyed a great stay in this Gulf-front corner condo with an amazing view, and the property manager was very responsive. We will forward your comment regarding the bed to property managers so that they may provide any suggestions to the owner of this unit. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The beds are super comfortable!! Great bathroom space, especially with 8 females. Love that it is a corner room, made the balcony space nicer. Kitchen well stocked and the decor is very nice. Highly recommend
We are so excited that the room location and decor worked so well for your stay. We love those corner units at Shores. Thank you for your feedback and we hope that you will choose us for your next beach getaway!
Gratefully,
BeachyCations
Check in process was easy! Everything was great. The parking garage is a little congested but you do get designated parking on the floor where you are staying, so that is a plus.
Darah, Thank you for the 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that your check-in process was smooth and that you enjoyed your stay. We hope you join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
We have a wonderful experience at the condo. We love the wrap around balcony and beach front view is just breath taking. We enjoyed the car park on the same floor with easy access. All the appliance are pretty new and all works well. No issue with the AC unit which always a plus when you on vacation. We enjoyed our stay at the Shore of Panama.
Anh, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're so pleased you enjoyed the wrap-around balcony and found the condo to your liking. We hope you join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
My family has typically gone for a week every year in Gulf Shores area but decided to do something different this summer. The condo was fantastic and enjoyed seeing some Razorback decorations too in the rooms. Yes the parking stinks and so to the elevators during peak times but not really that big of a deal. The condo was great and so was the views from the wrap around balcony.
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We greatly appreciate your kind words. We agree that the parking and the elevators are certainly "difficult" during the peak season.
The overhead light was out the entire stay and they didn't fix it so the bedroom was pitch black. Gum stuck to the bunk beds. The two tvs in the bunk beds don't work. The dishes were dirty. Had old food stuck to them. Sent pictures and gave them the opportunity to come make things right but they didn't. The management of the property do a very poor job at addressing concerns. The view is great. Would be a good stay if the managers had been helpful.
The room was just okay. Could tell it had been run down a bit probably from past renters. Very disappointed with the property management. They treated us like prisoners. From the time we drove up to leaving, we felt like we were not wanted! We will not go back!
We canât recommend this property rental enough! We just checked out and we loved our stay here so much! The condo was super clean and beautifully furnished. We really loved the resort feel of the Shores. We really loved parking on the 10th floor and walking to our condo without needing the elevators. The parking lot isnât the best but itâs manageable. We only had to take the stairs a couple of times when the elevators were really backed up but really didnât have much trouble for the majority of the trip. The master bed is very high but the owners provided little boosts to help short people (like myself) hop up. In short, we loved our stay and hope to return soon!
The ONLY recommendations I can make on this particular condo is to lower the bed a little I am 5â 7â tall and I even had to hop to get up on the bed lol
Also the ceiling fan in the bedroom makes all kinds of noise, to the point where we could not use it at night due to it keeping us awake. (We love a fan at night!)
But there is absolutely no other disappointment in this condo. Absolutely beautiful and very very clean . We would highly recommend it and definitely will be renting it again in the future .
The resort was awesome as well. No disappointments whatsoever!
Hope, Thank you for the 5-star review. Weâre sorry about the noisy ceiling fan. If you had let us know during your stay, we could have sent maintenance to fix it. Weâre glad your stay was wonderful and we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
My family and I had a wonderful time . Condo was super clean and well maintained. I hadn't been to Panama City Beach in probably 10 yrs. & was so glad I picked this condo to stay in !! this condo was right on the beach side, 10th floor but never bothered us a bit, elevators were quick , no waiting ..had all the extras we needed...only thing I would ask for at the beginning of the stay would be more towels, we had to wash towels every day just to have wash wrags & towels..and there was 5 of us...security is tight, if you go to the pool area be sure to wear your wrist bands, if not they will stop you !! good thing & a bad thing !! Staff was very helpful..easy access to the parking garage to room..Pineapple Willys next door has awesome food & just steps to it ...I would definitely recommend this Condo to anyone, and I will be coming back !!! Can't forget the white sandy Beach and that Clear Water !! absolutely a fabulous vacation !!!
From the staff of Beachycations, we are really glad you enjoyed your stay. This is a great condo, we manage three in this stack at the Shores, we believe this inside corner unit is the best floor plan and location in the building. We strive to get our units clean and rental ready and when that is appreciated by our guest it is truly heartfelt. Thank you.
Everything was amazing with the exception of a few minor details. Some of the remotes had missing batteries and we could never get all of the TVs to work. The only other issue which was significant for us was that the locks on the doors to the balconies do not work. We had children with us so that was a bit concerning during our stay. Luckily they take a bit of muscle to open so our youngest couldnât pull them open. Other than that the property and the location were beyond amazing and we would stay there again with out a doubt
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate your feedback and we will get the situation with the remotes corrected right away. We are glad you enjoyed the rest of your stay at the property and that the location worked out for you. Best Regards
Check in isnât great and reserved parking was not inforced.
The check in crew knew nothing about the resort really. She could not take my reservation number or the info I had pulled up through the app. Spoke broken English and kept requesting to see the email that had the actual name of Shores of Panama on it. Slowed us down tremendously. I booked this particular unit bc of the location of the reserved parking spot. We only got to park in it twice. The second day we left someone grabbed the spot and didnât move the rest of the time. This car didnât even have a parking pass or the assigned number sheet on their dash the entire time so they obviously didnât pay for parking. There are very limited yellow open spots and we often had to park on different levels altogether. I called about this every day multiple times a day and sent messages and no one ever made them move or had them towed. Very disappointing considering I paid for the spot.
The condo and views were beautiful here, and we (mostly) enjoyed our stay, except that the property management was horrible! We got in after a 12 hour day of travel, and our lights didnât work. We were tired, so we waited until the next day to call. It took them four phone calls, and three visits to finally get our lights to work (all the bulbs were bad)âŠand it didnât get fixed for three full days!!
Then, they promised me some compensation for all the issues, and we have not gotten any credit or communication from them at all, and we have been home now for over a week!
In addition, they post all over your unit about $1000 fines for shouting, playing loud music, etc and itâs all for show. I felt like we were in the middle of high school spring break or something the whole time we were there. Extremely loud people every night shouting âLetâs go, Brandonâ and shining laser lights out their window. In addition to multiple arrests on the beach every night right under our window, which I know is not the fault of the resort, but it was frustrating that no one enforced the âafter 10 pm quiet policiesâ at all! Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere!
Heather, Please accept our sincerest apologies for the electrical issues and the communication breakdown regarding your refund. Our records indicate that all the lights (except the master bedroom) were working on the evening of the day you called to inform us there was a problem. The master bedroom needed a specialty bulb which had to be ordered which is why it took so long to fix. The refund was delayed because we were waiting for you to confirm the address where it should be sent. It was processed and sent to you on August 2nd. We're sorry the other guests were loud and unruly. The beach can get crowded this time of year. We hope you enjoyed some of the area attractions and quality time on our beautiful beaches.
I was a little disappointed by not being allowed to park in the designated spot until our unit was available! The listing also failed to mention that I would have to pay an additional $100 for parking a bracelets which are required to enter the condo! This should have been listed on the listing, because usually parking and bracelets are included with your rentals! Also we were not aware that it was College Spring break and no Alcohol was allowed on the beach. We were celebrating my Bachlorette party and would not have stayed here if we knew that! Also there were no signs anywhere in the condo or on the beach that stated you could not have Alcohol on the beach. We are obviously not from here and had no idea it was College spring break. If you can not consume Alcohol on the beach from March 1-31, this should be listed on the site!! Also the poolside bar and security at the gate should have a sign or inform people that you canât have Alcohol on the beach!! The condo itself was nice, it smelled like bleach, but there was sand all over the couches and the toilets were not clean! We also found roaches in the bathrooms and kitchen! The company managing this condo needs to do a better job of informing the renters of these things!!
We loved the condo due to the layout and view from the balcony. However, although the condo was clean, the pictures don't portray how old and worn some of the furniture and decor is. There were a few decorative pieces that were torn or broken - just some minor repairs would do. Also, the thin skillet needs to go. The stove seems to run really hot, especially with that particular skillet. The smoke alarm went off while we were just cooking something on low. The master bed was very comfortable. Again, the balcony view was amazing.
We had an amazing view. The condo was very clean and the pictures were exactly what the condo looked like. The parking was very convenient. I will definitely book here again!!!!
Cassy, Thank you for giving your experience 5 stars. Weâre glad everything was as you expected and you enjoyed the view. We look forward to seeing you next time. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
The unit itself was very clean, had plenty of room, an amazing view, and everything needed for your stay. The property charges an extra $90 to get wristband access to use pool and use access way to beach. Be cautious of including that in your overall stay. Elevators can be busy. We used stairs to get to 10th floor most of tjme.
