"We looked at several properties in Panama City Beach. We booked this on Expedia from the description. We were so happy with the location. Our room had 2 queen beds, a mini kitchen with full refrigerator, and a small area with a dining table and couch. Loved the balcony with a full ocean view that also looked over the pool. They have a great Tiki bar next to the pool and you can take your drinks to the beach. They have Lounge chairs and umbrellas already set up at the beach for a small charge. Karen who helped us check in and out, super pleasant and Gabriela and Charity assisted my husband and he wanted me to mention how friendly and helpful they were as well. We loved our tropical cocktail drinks at the bar. We were so happy with the property and the price was right!!! Great morning Lavazza coffee in the lobby."
