About this property

** Please note: Pool closure through May 2024, due to building maintenance. Beach access & beach chairs not affected. **

Gulf front views with spectacular sunsets in a low-density complex with brand new elevators. Ahhhh.....

Open the door to Z's Beach Retreat, located on the 5th floor, & you immediately have a picture perfect view of the Gulf of Mexico, which pulls you to the balcony. Our "home away from home" is carefully and thoughtfully decorated to make your stay memorable and comfortable. From the FREE BEACH SERVICE (2 chairs & an umbrella set up daily - a $50/day value) included with your stay, to the pool and children's pool, expansive beach, and exercise room, Sterling Reef 502 offers great comfort and amenities. Plus, there are no long walks to your car as the garage is occupies the first three floors of the building.

Please note: This is a NON-SMOKING/VAPING unit - no smoking/vaping in the unit, balcony, or any of the common areas. Smoking/vaping is only permitted on the top, outside level of the garage on the 3rd floor patio.

The king-sized master bedroom overlooks the Gulf with an oversized bath and closet. The second guest room has a queen bed and immediate access to the second bath. Additionally, there is a queen sleeper in the living room for guests. There is a convenient in-unit washer & dryer, and the fully equipped kitchen and granite island tie it all together and make this condo a premier choice for your beach escape.

Bring your camera to capture the views from the large private balcony that overlooks the emerald water and white sand beaches of Panama City Beach. Catch the amazing sunsets, or if you're lucky, the various fireworks shows on the 4th and New Year's Eve. Enjoy your morning coffee or breakfast as you watch the dolphins, stingrays, turtles, and large schools of fish just off the beach and in the distance.

The complex offers a pool and children's pool adjacent to the beach. Additionally, there is a fully-equipped exercise room and convenient, close covered parking. You'll have access to jet ski rentals & banana boat rides right on the beach! In the immediate area you will find dozens of shops and golf cart/scooter rentals, miniature golf, and plenty of great restaurants. You will also find some unique opportunities such as Shipwreck Water Park, Indulgence Spa & Salon, and the MB Miller Fishing Pier. You may have come for the beach, but Sterling Reef offers so much more with all its attractions and enjoyments. Welcome to Z's Beach Retreat.

Our vacation

This was our 2nd time at PCB and we really enjoyed the property. It was clean and had all the amenities we needed. Beds were comfy and the view was perfect. The beach was relaxing and we enjoyed jet skis, there were also other water activities to enjoy if you wanted. A grocery store is nearby as well as plenty of restaurants and entertainment if you choose. The property was a comfortable place to retreat to when we were done with our day in the beautiful Florida weather. Thanks to Amy for being an amazing host and very responsive to our questions when we checked in!

Bartis family

I would recommend this facility to anyone with children. It was very safe. Guards were seen at all times the cleanliness of the room was superb. Loved having the washer and dryer with Young adults. There was six of us ages 19 to 12 in children and then my husband and myself. It was all around a great time. The facility was so comfortable and so welcoming would recommend to any family and will return.
