Overall, we enjoyed our stay and everything was as advertised. A few elevators were down that created longer than normal waits but I’m assuming they will be repaired in the near future. Our host was helpful and provided all the needed info.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Collins

Host profile image
Originally from Winter Park, Florida, and moved to Atlanta over 30 years ago. Love real estate and working with buyers, sellers and investors for over 25+ years. Have 2 children Nachobi, and AJ and one grandchild Natalia who all love the beach!

Why they chose this property

Have always loved the Gulf coast beaches in comparison to Daytona, which was closer to where I grew up. Panama City Beach keeps changing and is so nice to see the new construction with better quality, covered parking decks and all the amenities Tidewater had could not be beat. Less than half mile to Pier Park is awesome for shopping/entertainment and Frank Brown Park is just across street from Pier Park. With the airport here you practically dead-end to this resort is just an added bonus.

What makes this property unique

The amenities cannot be beat period. With fast moving elevators, on-site movie theatre, a 4300 sf fitness center facing the ocean with his/her sauna steam room, hot tubs, on-site restaurant/store, 24-hour security, 2 outdoor pools with hot tubs and 1 indoor heated pool it is so nice to have such a great place to stay. We also have movie theater and game arcade to enjoy and onsite restaurant Waves for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My favorite feature of the condo is the large balcony facing the ocean and having my coffee in the mornings and a glass of wine in the evenings. It is so relaxing! In addition, with 3 bathrooms it makes it so much easier for everyone to get ready and not be waiting around. Every effort is made to accommodate and make your stay comfortable. Dolly Parton Pirate Show open May 29, 2025 and Top Golf opening by end of June, 2025. Half mile from Pier Park bump and Frank Brown Park across the street from Pier Park. Contents can change and owner shall not be liable for any representations implied orally/website. No express or implied warranties.
