No issues with the host or room at all. Great communication. Only real issue was the luggage caddies disappeared at some point and never showed back up so loading up to leave took a lot more trips. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your review and for your kind comments about the unit and communication. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and would choose to stay with us again.
I do want to clarify that the luggage carts are managed by the HOA and are not something individual owners have control over. Unfortunately, the HOA removed many of the carts because guests were frequently taking them to their rooms and not returning them, making them unavailable for others.
To help our guests, we provide wagons inside each of our units specifically for transporting luggage and beach gear. I do wish I had known about your concern during your stay, as I would have been happy to point that out.
While I appreciate the feedback regarding the building amenities, I hope future reviews will reflect the experience with the host and accommodations separately, as owners have very little control over HOA-managed amenities. Nonetheless, I appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again in the future.
Nice, clean condo right on the beach. The workout area was small & the treadmill was out of order. The owners were very attentive & easy to correspond with. Would stay here again.
Property was really nice, only thing I didn’t appreciate was being charged 35 for a extra parking space that guard said I could have bought for 20

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the property. Regarding the additional parking space, the $35 fee is the amount charged through our rental program for arranging and providing an extra parking pass. While rates discussed on-site may vary, we do not set the condominium association's policies or what individual staff members may quote.
As a small family-owned business, we strive to be transparent with all fees and provide the best experience possible for our guests. We appreciate your comments and will certainly look into this further to ensure guests receive consistent information in the future.
Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to host you again.
The property is exactly as they say it is. It was clean and a great location. Amazing views and close to everything. Will definitely stay here again when I come back.
We had a great time. Condo was exactly as described. Beautiful view from balcony. Great location. Quiet and relaxing. Would definitely recommend staying in this condo. Owners are super nice and answers questions quickly.
First time vacationing in Panama City Beach. Loved the location and the condo. My family really enjoyed our stay here. Close to beach, clean property, comfortable master bed, many activities nearby, and complimentary beach chairs were very nice considering they usually cost $50/day to rent. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Thank you for a great review! We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
This condo was perfect for my family. They had literally everything you could possibly need for the condo and the beach for the whole week we were there. Hope to definitely be able to stay here again.

Thank you for sharing Jennifer! It was a pleasure hosting you all. Your family is welcome back anytime!
Excellent condo - well appointed in every way! Great beach area that is not as crowded as other condo beachfront areas. Chair service was a nice benefit of the unit as well! We enjoyed the activities nearby (mini-golf, go-karts, Pier Park, restaurants, etc). Highly recommend this unit if you are looking for a beachfront condo in PCB!
We enjoyed the Preutt's condo at PCB! When we arrived, the space was clean and welcoming! We had a slight problem with the air conditioning but Tad and Krystal took care of it! They were great to work with us, and I wish we had HVAC service like that here at home!

Thank you Alison for sharing your feedback and allowing us the opportunity to host you all! We aim to build our relationships with clients and look forward to becoming your new vacation spot! You all are welcome back anytime!
This was a great spot for my family of 4 which includes children ages 6 and 10.. The condo complex was clean and safe and well maintained. The condo was exactly as advertised with a very responsive property manager. The balcony is HUGE! Beach was not only clean but also not overcrowded. There are several restaurants within short walking distance and activities within a couple of miles if you get a rainy day. I would definitely stay here again.
This condo is tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The porch looks out on the beach and is the perfect place for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The kitchen is well equipped, but does not have basics such salt and pepper, oil, foil, so plan to bring your own or purchase upon arrival.Owner and resort staff all very accommodating and friendly.

Thank you Richard for sharing your feedback and letting me know about the missing salt and pepper. The Seasonings are typically placed in the cabinet,above the microwave. We do not supply all spices, but salt and pepper are normally in each of our units as I personally leave them there, or a prior guest, and our cleaner replaces when low. We understand the importance of salt and pepper lol.
we girls, age 70, enjoyed our stay in Panama City. The only way to make it better would be to control the weather. The tv system was difficult to learn.

Thank you Teresa! We are so happy you all were pleased with your stay! We hope to have you visit again soon!
We enjoyed staying at this condo very much. It is very spacious with more than enough seating spots to relax. All furniture is comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked. The view from the huge balcony is amazing, the walk to the beach was very short, and the beach was very uncrowded, unlike other beach areas nearby. Only one time did we have to wait several minutes on an elevator - otherwise there was almost no wait. The staff members were very kind and kept watch over who comes and goes to ensure only Ocean Reef guests use their facilities. We would definitely stay here again!
Building was awesome, great location, unit it self needed somethings fixed before renting. Owner tried to fix as the time went on .

Thank you for the review! We have owned these condos since they were built in 2008. As time passes things tend to malfunction without any notice, it is typically unpredictable. Unfortunately, this occurred during your stay and we had it fixed as quickly as possible and offered a fair gesture.. Thank you for reaching out and allowing us to do so! It is important to keep our units maintained properly to ensure a wonderful vacation for all of our clients! Thank you for allowing us to make it right. We would love to have you vacation with us again in the future!
Property was very clean. Hot tub was very relaxing. The only issue I had was where the parking was. It was in front of entrance. 1 way in 1 way out and there is no office the security guard does the check ins and if its anyone checking in you can't get into the parking spot. Besides that great view and very relaxing

Thank you for the review and feedback to any concerns you may have had. There are two entrances, it is encouraged to enter one side and exit the other side located on the other side of the elevators. We also have a contact less check-in policy in place at this time, however are always one call away if needed. We are glad you enjoyed and relaxed on your stay! Thank you again!
Only one of the three elevators worked the entire time -none had been working prior to our arrival. Required long wait times. Condo itself was immaculate. Host was wonderful. Chair guys on the beach were super helpful. The description for this condo needs to be updated. The description says that it sleeps seven. There were five of us, and one of them had to sleep on the couch, which does not make out into a bed, but has a lounger on one end. It was barely big enough for our five-year-old grandson. This condo sleeps two in the king size primary suite and two in the guest bedroom —that is four. It should not say it sleep seven and it should not even say it sleeps five.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you stayed with us and wanted to note that the couch has recently been replaced with a new sectional featuring an oversized lounger and a pull-out middle section for extra comfort and space. Updated photos are on the way to reflect these improvements!
The condo includes a king bed, a queen bed, and a twin bed to comfortably accommodate guests. All updates are completed during our off months to minimize any disruption, though we do apologize for any inconvenience during your stay.
Regarding the elevator, it’s maintained by the building and unfortunately outside of our control. The manufacturer was on-site working diligently to repair the pulley system, which temporarily left one elevator in service. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back again soon for an even better experience!
