The condo was fantastic. The beds were comfortable. The area felt safe. The only issue we had was the LONG wait for elevators.

So happy you enjoyed the condo and security would have helped you and picked you up. So excited if the 7 elevators 4 are completely modernized and the next one by August and last 2 by end of the year! Always be aware of check in times and check out times for elevators.
Beautiful view, the condo was nice! Other than having to do a bit of cleaning in the beginning, it was perfect for our stay!! Sherry was super great and always responded quickly with any issues I may have had. Would definitely stay again!
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.
Our recent stay was great as usual. We’ve already booked for next year. Sherry is always the best host.

The location and condo were amazing. Weather was chilly but who can control that. Watched our Grandson play baseball at an amazing ball park. Spent New Years Eve with friends and good food. All in all our stay was first rate. Always love our stay in Panama Beach.

About the host
Hosted by Sherry Collins
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.
