Great location, very short walk to beach, restaurants and stores. Condo was very nice and had everything needed. We loved the pools!

Panama City Beach Trip
While we really appreciated the location of the property due to its convenience to everything, we found the resort was too big. Our unit was located on the main road with constant vehicle back and forth. No privacy in the front or back. What was most disappointing was the inside of the unit. Very dirty walls, shower, kitchen cupboards and drawers, laundry facilities, etc. We replaced the shower curtain due to mold. Screen were ripped and had holes. Blinds were filthy and didn't operate. Windows were fogged up, etc.. Our property owner was very accommodating and helpful when we needed to contact him. It was great it was animal friendly.
The house was excellent, very clean and just a 5-minute walk to the beach. Robert was very kind and always helpful. Communication was fast and easy. We are leaving very happy and highly recommend it.
