Having been a resident on the Florida panhandle for a couple years and a frequent vacationer to Panama City Beach I have stayed in many different rental units. One of the first things you'll notice when stepping into this unit is it doesn't feel like a rental, but more like home with the modern, clean, and cozy furnishings. This location has all of the amenities you would want to stay comfortably while visiting the Sunshine State. It is within a short walking distance of City Pier 53 (which is great for fishing or a sunset walk) and S Pier Park Dr with all of the restaurants and shops. Within a very short drive is access to pharmacies and grocery/department stores if you need to restock on anything.
The condo building (Calypso) itself felt very secure with cameras, dedicated parking, and plenty of lighting. We quickly discovered the downstairs cafe/kitchen (Emerald Hub) with good coffee and breakfast eats. The very large gated and heated pool was perfect for the colder weather we ran into while visiting. The unit had plenty of bedding, kitchen supplies, towels, coffee machine, and other complementary items. Our favorite part of the unit was the large balcony that we enjoyed almost every evening and watched the sunset over the beach.
Before arrival the management team was very communicative and provided plenty of instructions and information up front well in advance of our visit, which made the overall process much smoother. We plan on staying here again.
