Beautiful room, lots of space! The view is phenomenal! Decor was just right with the beachy vibes. Room had plenty of cookware, and other appliances that we was not expecting!
Excellent property, very clean. Rooms were all very nice and generous. Included two beach lounges and umbrellas. Would rent again from this property.

We ABSOLUTELY loved this condo and if when we go back to Panama City I am requesting this condo again. My only suggestion is the back bedroom size mattress needs replacing. It was still perfect and we loved it. The reclining sofa and loveseat made it the best! I would HIGHLY recommend this condo.

We stayed here for our 1st family vacation and it was amazing. The condo was very comfortable and clean. It is very well stocked with dishes and anything you need for cooking. The beds are comfortable and plenty of space in the bedrooms. We had plenty of room for the seven of us and the views were breathtaking. We thank you for the memories we will cherish forever.We did lose air for 8 hours one day and water for a short time the next day. We closed all the curtains and it stayed cool in there all day. We stayed at the beach and pool during that time.

The beach and condo were perfect and as expected. I suggest to bring dishwasher soap and trash bags. The free beach chairs were limited to 2 per condo but you can get more for an additional cost. We liked that Panama City Beach was less commercial than other beaches. The water was clear and beautiful. The seafood restaurants, especially oysters, were delicious and within walking distance. We suggest early dinners as they don't take reservations and we experienced wait times of 1+ hours.Overall, it was a very special vacation for us.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed at Aqua Sunday through Saturday for the first time last week. We were happy to receive a text letting us know we could check in a few hours earlier than the 5pm check in time. Upon our arrival, we were frustrated with the process of getting our luggage to our condo. It was hard to find a cart and several elevators were out of order. There were regular issues with the elevators during the entirety of our stay through our check out date. The 9 a.m. check out was rough especially when trying to find a cart and dealing with elevator issues. We were stuck in the heat and humidity waiting 30-40 minutes to get in the elevator so we could leave. We were on the 16th floor so stairs were not an option especially with two young kids. We really enjoyed our condo unit. It was very clean and thoughtfully and beautifully decorated. We had a beautiful view and could tell the owners invested in updates etc. The bedding was very thin. There weren't comforters and the top blanket on each be was as thin as a sheet. I found two spare blankets to help, but it left the 3rd room with just the thin top blanket. It was nice to have a washer and dryer available. We had an issue with the first couple loads of laundry in that black marks were left on several clothing items that likely are ruined. We didn't realize until folding. I did some wiping down and filled the washer and wiped down again and didn't have any issues after that so it may have been due to what people before us had washed. We really enjoyed the chairs that came with the condo. They were a nice touch. The beach was beautiful and we were able to walk a lot of places. We really loved the multiple pools and that the indoor pool was indoor/outdoor. The sandwich/ice cream shop boutique was a favorite. I purchased a nice cooler, cup and the kids had ice cream every day. The employees were all very kind and helpful from the check in call, ice cream shop and security.

ELEVATOR NIGHTMARE
When we arrived at property, we unloaded our luggage and made our way from garage to property. We were greeted by long lines at only two elevators that were operational. We waited approximately 50 minutes in 95 degree heat before we could take elevator to 16th floor where our unit was located. There were only two elevators operational our entire stay and needless to say it was nightmare the entire week. The unit that we stayed in was ok but not worth the price charged. One would expect much more at a premier property. Furnishings were some what outdated, ceiling fans looked like they hadn't been cleaned in quite some time and two of the bathrooms had mold in the corner of the tiles. In addition the unit did not have its own internet router and the only wifi available was through the complexes open system. My family and I visit PCB at least one week per year if not more. i can safely say this was our first and last time to stay at Aqua.

The condo was clean but all three toilets were backed up when we arrived. It’s hard to believe that the cleaning crew didn’t notice it. It was after 9:00pm before it was fixed. The furniture is completely worn out in the living room and on the outside deck. The only comfortable chairs available were the kitchen table chairs. We stayed at the Aqua last year in a different condo and it was wonderful. The worn out furniture is something one would expect at a 1-2 star resort. That said, we feel like we way overpaid for 1609. This will be our last stay in this condo.
