Wonderful, relaxing stay with a beautiful view. Beach was quiet and not over crowded. The place was clean and well-stocked with all the necessities. Would definitely return.
Perfect and the weather was amazing! Kat property manager was great! Very friendly and always there when or if you should need her.

We had a great stay at Tropic Winds unit 801. The condo was fully furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. It was in a very quiet location. The views were fantastic!
Ester was great to deal with. Clean room and if you had any questions she was a phone call away. Great ocean view, large balcony and I will go back and would recommend to a friend,

Thank You John for this lovely review. I really appreciate it. I look forward to you staying with me again. Esther
We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay with Esther’s Escapes at Tropic Winds Resort. She was very hospitable and contacted us before our stay and made herself available with any questions. She also provides all of the basic supplies at the condo. (IE. TP, Paper Towels, Hand soap, dish soap, trash bags) which is nice. The condo has a beautiful view on the corner with nice breezes on the patio. Loved every minute and would stay here again.

Sandra, This is a bit like the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Everyone has a different level of comfort when it comes to mattresses. In all of the reviews left already, no one has mentioned the comfort level of the mattresses. You did mention the condo was nice and clean. I really don't feel like I deserved a 2 star rating because the mattresses were not to your comfort level. Esther

Reviewer Comments:
is loose. The balcony floor was really dirty as was the door slides. Under couch and beds were dirty- my grandchildren lost toys we looked for. And this was a little thing but pillow case was inside out-which to me indicates lack of attention to detail. I’m used to your rentals being spotless and I guess the made this more noticeable. Couch and chair pretty worn as well.
We have stayed here 2 times and each time was an amazing experience. The hospitality is off the chain. We stayed during Memorial day and had our American flag on balcony. However it is against condo policy. Esther was very nice when asking us to remove it. This is a place we will be returning to again. Stayed at a lot of places on the beach but this is the BEST by far...you want be disappointed.

Thank you so much Christa for the lovely review and for being a returning guest. It was after the fact, that I found out that our new security guard did not know that it is okay to display flags on patriotic holidays. I apologize for that oversight. Our rules do state that nothing hanging over the rails, such as towels or sheets etc. But now we know. Esther

Room review
We enjoyed our stay very much. The parking deck was a nightmare! I would have liked the room to have been painted and some new sheets on the king bed. The ones on there are really thin and wore out. Otherwise, it was good.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar 2020
Thank You Cindy for taking the time to leave a review. Yes the parking deck is a bit tight. But we are one of the few properties that offers assigned parking. Guests that stay at other locations have to walk a long way to the elevators and also try and remember where did they park their car. I guess it is sort of a trade off. Esther

Mom & Me Vacation
This was by far the best vacation. I was able to treat my mother like the Queen she is for a wonderful weekend. Ms. Esther is the absolute best as well as everyone that works at the Tropic Winds. Ms. Esther is my new Panama City Beach mom she and I will forever be connected. I loved the location, the space was gorgeous and very clean. My mother and I didn't want to leave but we will be back to stay hopeful in the same spot 801 and to visit Momma Esther. Thank you all for everything!!!!

Simply Perfect!
My family visits the beach quite frequently and this was by far our favorite rental yet! Mrs. Esther and her husband are wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our vacation. The unit is very roomy, clean and decorated beautifully. There is plenty of space for a family of 7 (like us) or for a couples get-a-way! It is very close to all the attractions and restaurants. The view of the ocean and sunrises/sunsets from our corner balcony was amazing! We enjoyed the beach chairs and umbrella that was provided when we walked down to the beach. The pool was very clean and not crowded at all, I like that half of it was indoors and shaded from the sun. We also used the steam room and sauna that was on site during our stay which was a very nice bonus! This will be our future go-to rental from now on that is for sure! Thanks for sharing your beach home with us, we enjoyed every minute!

Couldn't have worked out any better!
Needed a last-minute condo and phoned Esther. Luckily she had unit #809 available and we were beyond happy to book it. The condo was beautiful and very quiet. Perfect for 2 couples. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is equipped just like at home. The huge balcony is just perfect for watching the dolphins play or for "happy hour" watching the sun set. Unit comes with reserved parking spot. We have been to PCB several times but this was our first visit in October. It had never been as lovely. We absolutely enjoyed every minute. Also can't say enough good about Esther. She is right in the building and always available to help, no matter with what. Thanks Esther! Highly recommend

Good
First of all let me say that Esther was very easy to work with and very accommodating to our needs. We arrived in town a little early and since the condo was ready she allowed us to check in a little early. The condo was very nicely furnished and the kitchen was well stocked. The view was spectacular. The beach was relaxing and great. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would recommend going through Esther to book your stay. We hope to return.
With that being said there were a few issues ( no fault of Esther’s). When we first arrived the tv remote did not work however Esther had someone bring a new one the next day. We had a problem with the lock code. Esther was able to send us another code that we used for the remainder of our stay with no more issues. The fan light blew out in the second bedroom so we used the lamp. The hot tub was shut down for 4 days during our stay. I guess the biggest issue was that there was no water coming up from the beach for the last four days we were there, again no fault of Esther’s. We were not able to rinse off ourselves and our beach chairs.

Susan, thank you for this lovely review. Unfortunately, just like at our own homes, things will happen that is out of our control. You were so very pleasant about these and thank you for being defensive about these things being no fault of mine. I did take care of the two issues, as quickly as possible. As far as the water coming up from the beach, it was a broken pipe at one location, but there is two other places to rinse off, one by the entrance to the pool from the beach and the other by the hot tub.
I look forward to you staying with me again.

Location: Winn-Dixie about 4 minutes away…Target/WalMart/Starbucks about 10 minutes away. 15 min drive to the pier.
The positives: This unit was pretty clean and has a great view with a large balcony. You can see the fireworks from the pier very well.
Washer and dryer seem to be in good working order.
The negatives:
Balcony could use some lounger chairs- Adirondack’s aren’t comfy after 10 min.
The whole unit is very, very dated!
There were at least 10 dead dragonflies right outside the (very hard to open) sliding doors. Not a huge deal but sad to see upon arrival - feel like the balcony should’ve been cleaned before guests arrived.
Primary bathroom: sink carpet and bath mat looked dirty and old. The sink slopes like crazy. The faucet is faulty (it just spins - you have to get it just right to turn it on) and it’s so far back on the counter that it’s inconvenient to wash your face or hands. Caulking looks icky. The towels (all found in hallway bathroom) are dingy.
The chair in the den that looks nice in the pictures is old and sags.
The kitchen: no kurig, but does have a Mr. Coffee (it might say that in the description but I missed it if it did).
The burners on the stove don’t fit and it’s hard to cook when it’s so lopsided.
One cabinet is being held together with tape.
So many units offer use of already-set-up chairs and umbrella but not this one.
There is nothing special about 801 and, while it did the trick to get us out for a few days, we wouldn’t stay again.

We recently stayed at Greta's Beach Rentals in Panama City Beach, and it was exactly the getaway we were looking for. If you are searching for a spot that balances comfort with a prime location, this is it.The Highlights of Our Stay:• Breathtaking Views: The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the view. Waking up to the sights and sounds of the Gulf every morning was incredible. The balcony provided the perfect vantage point for watching the waves and enjoying the coastal breeze.• Spacious Accommodations: We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of room space. The layout was open and inviting, providing plenty of area to relax without ever feeling crowded. It truly felt like a "home away from home."• Impeccable Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the site was top-notch. From the common areas to the room itself, everything was well-maintained and spotless, which immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease.• Peaceful and Quiet: Despite being in a popular destination, our stay was remarkably peaceful and quiet. It was the perfect environment for some much-needed relaxation and a good night's sleep.Final Verdict: We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. Thank you to the team at Greta's for a memorable beach vacation!

Husband and wife over 60 relaxing stay. Easy access to the beach Hugh balcony. Last year we stayed on the 17th floor but opted for a lower floor this year and it wA just right. The property is well kept with hard working employees who keep everything clean. We love the walk ability and less congestion on this end of the beach. The room was lovely, comfortable and had everything we needed.
