Or walk to “The Pour” for the best cup of coffee and breakfast sandwiches on the beach! Convenience stores, beach shops and ice cream shop all just steps away! Keep walking a few more blocks to the County Pier!! Only 2 miles to Pier Park, Target & Publix! In the heart of it all without all the commercial fuss. We are also Pet Friendly! Pet fee $125.00

Reviewer Comments:
We enjoyed our stay, condo was nicely decorated and clean. We will definitely stay again!
We really enjoyed the stay and the location was perfect. We had everything we needed mostly. A small update to the pans in the kitchen and some additional cutting boards would be nice. But all in all it was great. I'd go here again.
From start to finish,it was amazing! Communication with check in was seamless. Apartment was clean and well stocked with towels and kitchen supplies. Beach access was an easy short walk. Will definitely reccomend to anyone!
We had a really nice time at the condo. The accommodations were just like in the pictures. Check in was easy. Loved the quick walk to the beach, it was not crowded. My girls loved walking to the coffee shop with tasty homemade cinnamon rolls and chocolate banana bread. Shopping was close by. Ate a wonderful seafood dinner out. Also a walk to the ice cream parlor. Beyond the control of the property owner, but we were surrounded by college spring breakers.
Contact and communication with property owner was easy; friendly and straightforward from the start. The house was clean and in a great location with easy access to the beach. There's a cute coffee shop and tea stand next door as well as a beach store for last minute needs. Overall would recommend to others and would book again in the future! Thanks!!
The condo is absolutely beautiful and clean! The location is perfect even though there’s no direct view of the beach. The host was gracious and communicated well. The only drawback which was huge for me is the noise upstairs. The ceiling is thin and we heard every stump, jump, and footsteps. They had small children upstairs so it was very loud and disturbing. This is an uncontrollable for the host but something to take into consideration if you’re sensitive to noise or have pets/small children.
The condo was very clean, and beautifully decorated. It is directly across the street from the beach, and conveniently located to restaurants and shops. The only downside to our stay was the lack of supplies. If you plan on cooking, I would bring everything you need, including pots, pans and oven mitts. The only thing you don’t need are drinking glasses, plates, and utensils. The cabinets are basically bare of everything. If the kitchen had been fully stocked, I would say the price point is on par for other condos in the area. Given the fact that you have to bring all supplies, including paper towels, and toilet paper, I think it’s a little over priced and makes staying here inconvenient. If we didn’t have the need for a kitchen, I would absolutely stay here again!

We had an amazing time at this VRBO in Panama City Beach, Florida! The location was PERFECT - the public beach was right across the street, making it super convenient for our family vacation. The stay itself had everything we needed, and the cleanliness was top-notch. 🧹 We also loved the nearby coffee shop and ice cream/candy store next door - a great bonus! What really made our stay special, though, was the owner's kindness and attention to detail. They even went above and beyond to ship back a personal item that was left behind. We'd highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a wonderful family/pet friendly beach getaway.
The condo was nice, clean, and quiet. Plenty of room. Location was a short walk to the beach.

This was just the best place for our small girls trip (4 people) It was just enough and had everything we needed. The place was beautifully decorated, PLENTY of TVs, loved the bedroom set ups! Conveniently located near the Pour and ice cream shop, with just a hop across the street to be at the beach! We will definitely be back!
Absolutely wonderful location. We had a blast and this condo had almost everything we needed. (Oven mits were needed) lol I had brought a couple hand towels, so it worked out. Sitting on the balcony and watching the sunrise was amazing. No ocean view (we knew this no big deal) but the sunrise was beautiful & definitely worth it. Steps to the beach which made it great for teens. Our girls left a few items behind and they called before we ever made it back home. They will be mailing our stuff home! What an easy and honest rental! The ladies i spoke with were absolutely the best!
