The condo was great—clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The owner was very quick to respond and easy to communicate with. The elevators were very slow during our stay, but they are working to get that fixed. We would definitely stay here again!

Overall the Elevator was down or extremely backed up leaving my elderly father unable to get upstairs w/o a long wait. Unit was missing a lot of standard Utensils for cooking. (Can opener, forks and spoons were not standard size) There was no cablebased on instructions in Guest Book.Bed in Guest room was aweful.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear parts of your stay did not meet your expectations. Your visit was the week before the Fourth of July, one of the busiest times of the year in Panama City Beach. During peak season, especially around check-in and check-out times, elevator wait times are longer than normal. In addition, our HOA is currently completing an elevator modernization project, so one elevator was temporarily out of service while the others remained operational. Had we known your elderly father needed assistance, our on-site security guard would have been happy to help him to and from the condo at any time. We strive to keep the kitchen well stocked. There is both a handheld and an electric can opener available, with the electric opener stored in a kitchen cabinet. The flatware is a matching set for the condo. Our Guest Guide also includes a photo of the TV remote with labeled buttons and step-by-step instructions for accessing DirecTV and the streaming apps. After your review, our cleaner inspected all of the beds and found everything to be intact and functioning properly. I truly wish you had reached out during your stay. I would have been happy to assist with any of these concerns so they could have been resolved and your vacation made more enjoyable. Thank you again for your feedback.

We come to PCB at least 3 times a year, staying at a different place each time. I have never left a review until today. This place is by FAR the BEST place we’ve ever stayed at. The parking alone is so convenient. You have your own assigned parking spot, so no worrying about finding a spot. All parking is under the actual condos. It was just wonderful and super clean. Security guard makes sure you are following the rules, and we loved that. We felt very safe. We will be back!!! Awesome place!!! Great for families!

Thank you so much for your amazing review! It truly means the world to us that out of all your visits to PCB, our place stood out as your favorite. We're so glad you appreciated the assigned, covered parking—it's a small detail that makes a big difference! Knowing you felt safe, comfortable, and welcomed means everything to us. We work hard to keep the space clean, family-friendly, and well-managed, so it's wonderful to hear that came through in your stay. We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon!

Overall great time

The condo was nice and neatly kept. The property did have some elevator issues. The first day 2 out of 3 were working when we arrived. The next day all 3 went down. They did get all 3 running by the time we were ready to leave the beach. Our unit was great for a family of 4. The a/c worked great and we had beautiful views. The property owner was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here with a large group again.

Checkin was easy. The mattress in the king room in front of condo needs to be replaced! Customers should be pre warned that there are no luggage carts at this site so be prepared to carry all your stuff up by hand and make plenty of trips! Fortunately, our condo had a beach buggy so we were able to use that but some people were not as fortunate! The ocean was beautiful though!

Heated outdoor pool

We stayed for the month of February and by the time we left things were getting ready for summer! The condo was extremely comfortable and was stocked with everything we needed. Owner was quick to answer questions and made great dining suggestions. The Grand Marlin was our favorite. The best treat was an outdoor heated pool and hot tub and we even got a couple days on the beach. I was sad to leave!

About the host

Hosted by Krystal Pruett

Host profile image
Hi! We're a family from the Southeast who has always loved spending time on the beautiful beaches of Panama City Beach. Hosting gives us the chance to share our favorite getaway spot with others and help create lasting memories. We enjoy travel, family time, and relaxing by the ocean—and we’ve designed our condo with comfort, convenience, and coastal charm in mind. We hope you love it here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose this location on the peaceful west end of Panama City Beach because it offers the best of both worlds—tranquility and convenience. The beach here is wide, clean, and uncrowded, even during peak season. It’s perfect for families, morning walks, and watching stunning sunsets. Plus, you’re just minutes from Pier Park, great restaurants, go-karts, mini golf, and shopping. Everything you need is close by, yet you still feel tucked away in your own coastal escape.

What makes this property unique

What makes Unit 801 truly unique is its spacious layout and incredible beachfront views. With four bedrooms and three full baths, it's perfect for large families or groups wanting to stay together without feeling crowded. The oversized balcony offers panoramic Gulf views and is one of the best spots in the area for watching fireworks. Thoughtful details, updated furnishings, and our quiet west-end location set it apart as a relaxing, upscale beach retreat.
