We had an amazing time!!

The property was gated with 24 hour security which made our stay feel so safe and secure. The condo was luxurious and Caron went above and beyond adding all the little extras (coffee bar, big flat screen tvs in each room, specialty soaps and the towels folded in shapes of a heart) to make our stay amazing! I highly recommend Carons condos ❤️

Beautiful room & beautiful views🩵

We absolutely loved our stay at this beach condo! From the moment we walked in, it had the perfect cozy, coastal vibe—like a little home away from home. The decor was beautifully done with soft beachy touches that made everything feel relaxing and inviting. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a stress-free stay. We especially loved how close it was to the beach—super convenient for quick walks to catch the sunset or spend the day by the water. It truly felt like the kind of place you never want to leave. If you’re looking for a peaceful, cozy beach getaway, this is it. We’ll definitely be back! 🌊☀️

This condo was everything and then some!

Super clean. Very wonderful finishing touches. Attention to detail. Felt like we were home! Tons of towels. Tons of space. The added beach chairs were a huge plus! Excellent customer service with Caron! We enjoyed our stay and have already rebooked again before we left! We loved that coffee and creamer were included as well! We go to PCB a lot and have never had that! 10/10

When I tell you this was the best place we’ve ever booked, believe me. I’m not a snob but when it comes to rentals, I have high expectations. This place was perfect! Very well stocked kitchen and coffee bar. Plenty of towels and bath products. CEILING FANS.. huge plus for those of us who need a fan to sleep! Construction was going on during our stay, but it did not affect us at all. View from the balcony is perfect. Having the grill/bar right below the room was very convenient. Communication was the best ever! Every question, every concern, Caron was on it immediately.. that’s a blessing you don’t often get. The condo has clearly been updated recently and the decorations look like something out of a magazine. Most kitchens have the basic necessities, this one has everything you could ever need or even want! I can’t say enough good things about our experience.. just wonderful!

Great

We had a great time. It was so easy to check in and out. Caron’s Condo beat the other prices and did not disappoint when we got there. There is a small charge when you check in but it was not bad. Kitchen was a tad smaller than we thought, but it did not hinder us at all. We had a great time and would gladly stay here again.

The unit was clean and the kitchen was plenty stocked, even had a muffin pan. We love being on the third floor bc we use the stairs mostly, elevators are slow & packed. Carol was nice and prompt to respond to any questions I had.

Beautiful Condo

We’ve stayed at The Summit many years. This condo was probably the nicest. Very well kept and the kitchen is well stocked for every cooking need. I guess the only negative is it’s location. On the third floor so the view was not the best. But the advantage on being on the third floor is you can use the stairs rather than having to wait for the elevator which is always a pain. Too many people for the number of elevators. Especially rough on check in/check out days. I would highly recommend this condo.

Okay overall

The condo looks nicer in pictures that in person. Needs some updates. Issues with the toilet and cracks in fridge. Didn’t like all the maintenance people coming in and out, but was nice owner addressed the issues. Don’t bother with the elevator, we took it once our entire stay. It’s nice they have the tiki bar, food shack and little coffee shop on site. Also, was nice beach chair service was included with this condo.

Had a good time.

I stayed in unit 312. The unit was nice. It was clean. The best part of this unit is that it had laundry in the unit. It was a great time saver. There was plenty of cookware/dishes/etc and we ate in most of the time. I even used the crock pot to make a pork loin. Beach chairs were included as well and we took advantage of that. There were plenty of towels for showers. There was free wifi and cable. This unit was better than the last one I stayed in a few years ago. If I was going to stay in The Summit again, I would rent this particular unit again. The bar staff at the outside Tiki Bar was great. The pools were clean and one is heated. The little snack shop downstairs...15 minutes to wait for them to put 3 already cooked hot dogs on buns. They were definitely not in a hurry. The day we showed up, the elevator was stuck with a bunch of people on it. The garbage shoot is always full and blocked up. One day I was woken up at 5:45 by staff that had decided that was a good time to rearrange all the deck furniture...ALL THE DECK FURNITURE...around the pool area. Dragging chairs across the cement. It was loud. It was disrespectful. It was ridiculous. This is the second time I have stayed at The Summit. The first time, the college kids pulled the fire alarm twice in one week in the middle of the night. Thankfully, that didn't happen this time. The beaches here are amazing. The sand is fine and perfect and the emerald waters are amazing even though it's still a little cold at the end of March. The March ban on alcohol on the beach wasn't obvious so be warned. The police were patrolling every day. There are a million places to eat in the PCB area. We had good oysters at Hammer Head Freds and good fish at Scampy's. Captain Jack's is a regular destination for us to eat tons of crab legs. Having said all of this....I have been coming to PCB for years now. It is one of my favorite places and I really enjoyed my stay there again this year. If you're not too high maintenance, this is is a good place to stay. :)

Our stay with Caron's Condos couldn't have been better.

Our condo was clean, comfortable, and had everything you would need for a perfect beach vacation. My kids loved their bunk beds! We all loved the incredible view. We had zero problems during our stay, but felt certain Caron would take care of anything. She was great to work with. The Summit is a great place to stay. Everything was clean! There was a heated pool, which was a hit since it was a little chilly during our stay. We loved the food from the snack bar and Bikini Bobs. My kids had a great time on the playground out on the beach. We were also happy to have an umbrella and beach chairs during our stay. We look forward to staying with Caron again and will recommend her condo to all our friends.

Wonderful condo, comfy beds & nicely decorated!

Thank you Davis' for making the stay well! My children really loved the bunks and thought the installed USB port was the greatest, kids and their technology! The movie night was fun for them as well. I'm not gonna lie, it's a bit noisy at night and morning... Next time I would bring a small fan or noise eliminator. The linen was soft and it's nice to have a soft mattress out of town. Thanks again for making our stay enjoyable!

Clean, comfortable - perfect for families of any size. Everything needed in kitchen for meal prep.

Love the comfortable atmosphere. Security can be seen observing and helping but not imposing. Well maintained everywhere, but not so fancy we were afraid to relax with children. PCB folks very friendly and helpful. Excellent location near St Andrews on one side and Camp Helen on other. Not right in THE strip but enough to be there in a couple minutes. Excellent beach! Great pools -. 2 large ones! Had a great vacation😂

About the host

Hosted by Caron Davis, Property Owner

Host profile image
I’m Caron, checking in from sweet home Alabama. Family means everything to me, and that love of family is exactly what inspired my journey into hosting vacation rentals.

Why they chose this property

In 2002, my family and I took a beach trip to The Summit in Panama City Beach… and I was hooked! I fell in love with this resort so much that I bought my first condo here in 2003, and we’ve been making memories at The Summit ever since. From sunrise coffee on the balcony to sandy toes and sunset walks, this place quickly became our happy place.

I love The Summit because it’s right on those gorgeous sugar-white beaches and centrally located to great restaurants, shopping, and fun activities for all ages. Whether you’re here to relax by the pool, play in the waves, explore PCB, or just unwind with the people you love most, there is truly something here for everyone.

These days, life keeps me a little too busy to visit the beach as often as I’d like… so I want you to go in my place! My goal is for you to feel welcome, comfortable, and completely at home while you’re here. If you love Panama City Beach, I’m confident you’ll fall in love with The Summit just like I did.

What makes this property unique

The Summit is special because everything you need for a fun, memorable beach vacation is right here on-site—no hopping in the car every five minutes.

One of my personal favorites is Bikini Bob’s, located on the east end of the property. It’s the perfect casual spot for a quick bite and a cold drink after a day in the sun.

Forgot sunscreen, flip-flops, or a beach toy for the kids? No worries! Just stroll down to the on-site gift shop right off the pool deck and grab those last-minute essentials.

All you really have to do is pack your bags, bring your family, and show up ready for a fun-filled vacation at The Summit!
