This is our ”go to” place for the Beach

We have stayed in Kathy and Jim’s condo for 5 years and we don’t waste time looking at other rentals on VRBO. We know we will be stepping into a super clean wonderfully decorated condo. Each year Kathy and Jim have updated something in their condo, whether it is furniture, appliances or chairs for the deck. This IS our “go to” place for the beach!!

Amazing condo!

We booked this property because we were drawn to the idea of Beach Therapy and we were not disappointed! The condo was so clean, well stocked, and decorated with a fun beach theme. The view was absolutely stunning and we loved watching the sunset over the ocean in the evenings. During the day we enjoyed relaxing on the included reserved padded chairs on the beach and the kids had so much fun going back and forth between the ocean and the pool. This was definitely a laid back and family friendly area on the beach compared to other busier areas we visited. Kathy was so responsive and accommodating to our inquiries and we really appreciated the attention to all the little details that made this vacation so memorable. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful condo with lots of thoughtful touches!

Beautiful condo! Real furniture - drawers work smoothly, couches and chairs are comfortable as is the bed in the master. Reserved parking space was a nice plus as were the reserved chairs. Great balcony view and the furnishings on the balcony made it a pleasure to sit and enjoy. Everything was labeled which was hugely helpful! All of the light switches and remotes, info on the fridge, etc. There was a basket on the counter that was a care package that contained a few snacks, local info, and some essentials. Beautiful pool and beach area. Loved the condo and the thought that went into making our stay great! Will definitely book again.

Loved our first stay in PCB

My wife and I decided to try a new location along the Florida panhandle and chose the Seychelles resort in Panama City Beach. We rented "Beach Therapy" on the 13th floor of the complex and found it to be a lovely condo with an outstanding view of the Gulf of Mexico and the white sands of PCB. Our host, Kathy Gesslein, was excellent. All our communication with her was timely and personal. We never felt like a renter, but rather a guest. The condo was clean and well cared for. Access is secure and check-in is easy too. The master bed was comfortable and there was plenty of bathroom space between the two in the condo. We had everything we needed as far as kitchen tools and appliances. You will need some supplies. The complex is nice, including two fairly large pools, a spa, and direct access to the beach. A beach set-up for two was provided, and David, the attendant was super helpful. He came around occasionally to reposition the umbrella as the sun tracked throughout the day. Tip him if he works for it as he did with us. You have a private, covered, and reserved parking spot which was clutch! Since the property is on the far eastern side of PCB, we had to drive to some of the places we wanted to go. There is a great restaurant right next door to the complex. It was a bit pricey, but the food and drinks were good. Ice cream and pizza are nearby as well. Grocery stores (Publix and Piggly Wiggly) were pretty close and more desirable than going to the Walmart Supercenter.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Gesslein

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased this condo at Seychelles in 2017 & live locally - splitting our time equally between Panama City Beach & our home in the country about 45 minutes away. Owning beachfront property to enjoy ourselves & also share with others has always been a dream of ours. We love when our guests become friends!

Why they chose this property

We chose Seychelles because of its beauty & location. The property is located on the less crowded east end of Thomas Dr. & out of the heavy traffic of Front Beach Rd. It is a very secure, well maintained property with a lot of extras to offer.

What makes this property unique

There are several popular restaurants & lounges within walking distance including Schooners "The Last Local Beach Club", Cantina Del Mar Fresh Mexican Grill, Patches Pub & Grill, and Shore Shack Pizza.

PCB has a lot to offer! Do as much or as little as you want. You'll have a great time and will want to come back again and again!!
