Nice property and great location. It was nice to have a full kitchen and to spend time relaxing on the huge balcony. Convenient for accessing everything in Baytowne Wharf. Also nice for exploring the surrounding area (Panama City, Grayton Beach Destin).
Property looked just like the pictures! We loved hanging on the balcony. We had a great view of the Tuesday night fireworks and loved the easy access to the the restaurants and shops. We took the tram to the beach one day and it was so easy to do.
This area is very nice. Being a former resident of Panama City I never went to Baytowne Wharf. It is a very nice village atmosphere.This unit was very nice and had all necessary items in it.
We really enjoyed our vacation at 552 Observation Point. Our host was very helpful and welcoming and the online check-in and checkout was great. Sunsets from this balcony are outstanding and the activities below kept us entertained. Not a quiet spot but a fun one!

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful time. Location of our stay was perfect. Floors needed cleaning and rugs need to be vacuumed. Everything else was very satisfactory.
I would stay here again just for the awesome location and balcony that overlooks all the action. Easily walked to many restaurants, shops, kid activities, and the marina. Very clean. Our kids liked watching the fireworks from our balcony.
Some reviews mentioned the noise level at night, but this didn’t bother us at all. We just put a travel sound machine in the bunk room and our kids slept through the night. The worst noise is the early morning leaf blowing… I know the rental can’t control that at all, but just be warned and bring earplugs. It wouldn’t stop me from staying there again.
We had friends with teenagers stay in another Observation Point unit. We’d end all our nights drinking and talking on our balcony while we watched our kids run around to all of the activities below.

Reviewer Comments:
My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. The condo was spacious, clean and in a very convenient location. The balcony is really the highlight of the condo as it's located directly over all of the village activities/bars, restaurants. My only complaint is the noise level at night...I realize many have cited this as their complaint as well, but we did have one night in particular that was so loud that it woke me up. It seems as if late-night crowds gather directly under the balcony to carry on their night once the bars close down. The night I was awakened, there were approximately 10-15 women cheering one another on while they turned flips in the common area. Fortunately, it didn't last ALL night long and I was able to fall back asleep, however, we were pretty irritated while it was happening. It would be helpful if there was some way the owners could install some kind of noise blocker...I don't even know if anything like that exists?? At any rate, despite the noise, we really did have a great time staying here.

We love this spot and all that is close by. We’re looking in the area for ourselves. This unit has the best views from a massive deck. All appointments are quality and it’s quite comfortable. We will be back.
We enjoyed the view and the room a lot.
We did bring a lot of paper products of our own thankfully, but everything else was provided!
The kitchen did lack a few things for cooking a large meal, but for a vacation spot was awesome!
We bring the kids for vacation every year. This year, by far was the best as far as where this condo is located. It over looks the entire village. Perfect balcony to have coffee, dinner, or just relax and enjoy the live music or events going on right below you!!
Loved being right in the middle of all the action!

This was the perfect unit for our family of four. Everyone had their own space. The balcony is amazing in the morning and evening. The unit is well insulated and you can’t hear anything outside while the doors are closed. You are close to the nightlife activities and it’s easy to get down to the beach!
