Thank you Christie! We are thrilled you had a great stay at the Tipsy Mermaid and look forward to your return.
My husband found The Tipsy Mermaid condo and we instantly booked as we were looking for a “on the beach” spot. This place was clean, modern, and on the first floor ON THE WATER. The booking was easy, the communication was very prompt with the owners and they checked in to make sure are needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend the week as everything was perfect! They also have two more rentals. We will definitely be holding on to there information and will absolutely book with them again. Thanks for making our stay unforgettable. -W & L
You can't beat this 1 bedroom condo. Communication and flexibility with the owner was excellent they checked on us after the area had severe weather and just exceeded our expectations. The location is easy access to everything you need. We walked to Pineapple Willy's every day. If you are wondering about the property. The two smaller pools are heated but the large lagoon pool is not which would probably be fine for most in the summer. We brought our own beach chairs but the unit does have 2. We didn't see an umbrella but that was fine for us. Just be aware that if you want beach service it is about $250 for the week. We had a great time and would definitely rent again.

Thank you so much for the 10/10 rating! We were so happy to host you, and we’re glad that our communication helped put your mind at ease during the weather event—your comfort and safety are always our top priority.
We truly appreciate you sharing those helpful tips with future guests, especially regarding the pool temperatures and the beach service. It’s great that you were able to take advantage of the easy walk to Pineapple Willy’s every day; that location really is hard to beat! We’re also glad you found the beach chairs useful during your stay.
We would love to welcome you back anytime. Thank you for choosing to stay with us!
We absolutely loved our stay here! The condo was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed plus some for our stay! The bed was incredibly comfortable and the views from both the living room and bedroom were amazing! The balcony was our favorite place! Beach chairs and an umbrella were a thoughtful touch that we enjoyed very much! The hosts were very friendly, very responsive and went above and beyond! Highly recommend this place!!
We have stayed in tower 2 but will want to stay in your unit again.

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Garner
Meet Your Hosts: Roger & Stephanie 🥂 "Hospitality isn't just what we do; it’s who we are."
We are Roger and Stephanie Garner, a husband-and-wife team with over 30 years of combined experience in the hospitality, sales, and marketing industries. Our journey in hosting didn't start with a rental property—it started with a genuine love for making people feel at home, whether they are visiting us in our home or joining us for a sunset on the Gulf Coast.
The Starry Stays Philosophy As a Brand Curator and a Real Estate professional, we don’t believe in "cookie-cutter" rentals. We believe in curated experiences. When we founded Starry Stays, we set out to create vacation homes that we would actually want to stay in—places that balance high-end luxury with the "no-stress" comforts of home.
Why We Love The Tipsy Mermaid We fell in love with Long Beach Resort because of its rare combination of 1,300 feet of private beach and the incredible convenience of its layout. Being on the first floor was a non-negotiable for us; we wanted our guests to be able to skip the elevators and be on the sand in seconds. We spent months meticulously renovating and decorating the unit to ensure every detail meets a 5-star standard.
Our Commitment to You When you book with us, you aren’t dealing with a faceless management company. You are communicating directly with us. We take immense pride in:
Transparency: We will always give you the "straight scoop" on resort updates or local events.
Responsiveness: We are just a text or call away to ensure your stay is flawless.
The "Extra Mile": Whether it's providing a curated list of our favorite local PCB "hidden gems" or ensuring the unit is spotless for your arrival, we treat your vacation with the same care we give our own family’s.
When we aren't hosting, you can find us back home in the Louisville area.
We are so excited to share our little piece of paradise with you. Welcome!
— Roger & Stephanie
Why they chose this property
After years of vacationing along the Emerald Coast, we found ourselves never wanting to leave. We spent our drives home dreaming of a place of our own—not just as an escape, but as a sanctuary we could share with others who crave the sugar-white sands and turquoise waters as much as we do.
The moment we discovered Long Beach Resort, we knew we had found it. It wasn't just a condo; it was a front-row seat to paradise. We are so proud to welcome you to our coastal retreat, where you are quite literally steps from the emerald waves. What more could you ask for?
What makes this property unique
🌟 What Makes The Tipsy Mermaid Unique? While there are many condos in Panama City Beach, very few offer the specific combination of luxury, layout, and "boots-on-the-ground" convenience that you’ll find here.
The "No-Elevator" Luxury: This is a game-changer. Being on the elevated 1st floor (Tower 4) means you can park your car and be inside your condo in seconds. You get the stunning 2nd-story views of the Gulf without ever having to wait for a crowded elevator or haul groceries up 20 floors.
A Curator’s Touch: This isn't your typical "fast-fashion" beach rental. Every piece of furniture and decor has been hand-selected to create a sleek, modern, and "Insta-worthy" environment. The design is intentional—meant to feel like a high-end boutique hotel while maintaining the warmth of a home.
Immersive Gulf Views: Our floor-to-ceiling windows don’t just "show" the beach; they bring it into the room. Because the glass spans wall-to-wall in both the living area and the bedroom, the turquoise water becomes the primary "art" on the walls.
The Ultimate Walkable Location: Once you park, you can truly forget about your car. You are steps from the sand, the resort pools, and local favorites like Pineapple Willy’s.
The "Golden Hour" Balcony: There is nothing quite like sitting on our private, fully-open balcony as the sun dips below the horizon. It’s the perfect, quiet bookend to a day spent on the sugar-white sand.
