Thank you for the five-star review. We're glad you enjoyed the property and the Gulf-access beach right across from the home. We hope to welcome you back to Pristine Properties soon.
The location is amazing and property is really nice with just a short walk across the road to the beach. Also the elevator was a nice touch to helping bring things in and out

Thank you for your feedback, Chris. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the amazing location and found the property comfortable. The elevator is certainly a helpful feature for convenience. We hope to welcome you back soon!
Very nice stay. Close walk to the beach. Pool was not very clean the first day but someone must have come. Seemed better by last use. Elevator was a big help with luggage. Did notice some pet hair around the baseboards but overall pretty clean. WiFi did go out for most of one day due to wind but luckily we had decided to drive into Panama City to play put put golf this day. Very nice days on the beach. Not too crowded. Beautiful sunset the last day.

Thank you for the review. Glad you enjoyed the short walk to the beach and that the elevator made luggage easier. Sorry the pool wasn’t clean the first day and for the pet hair you noticed — I’ll share this with housekeeping so it’s addressed. Apologies for the WiFi outage due to wind; glad it didn’t derail your plans and you still enjoyed the beach and that beautiful sunset. We appreciate the five-star rating and would welcome you back. Have a beachy day!
