About this property
Panoramic Beachfront End Unit 2-bdrm/2 bath w/Oversize Balcony & Beach Chaises
Wow! The views from our unit's spacious balcony BEAT almost every other 2 bedroom unit at beautiful, serene Tropic Winds because of our unit's far more expansive views from our wide balcony and its status as a coveted, more valuable end unit! The minute you step in the door, you'll love this beautiful upscale beach condo with its million-dollar views from its spacious balcony directly overlooking the pristine sugar sands and emerald coast, with 30+ miles of Gulf of Mexico views. It's like stepping into a Coastal Living magazine. And just a few steps to the elevator, then a few more steps from it, and your toes will be in the sand--or just recline in our complimentary beach service-provided beach chaises with a large umbrella.
This condo is new to VRBO (as of 2022). The new owners, who have a history of 5-star premier partner reviews (see their VRBO listing # 1451694 in the same building) have spared no expense in making their beach sanctuary the perfect condo to share with you and your family or guests.
Serenity and beauty are the hallmarks of our vacation unit, Tropic Winds 1709. Tropic Winds is the newest Gulf front condominium development located RIGHT ON THE BEACH in Panama City Beach, approximately 12 miles and an easy, direct route drive from the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP). This modern, exceptionally well-engineered, code-compliant complex offers an indoor/outdoor pool, large outdoor hot tub, steam room, sauna, fitness center and meeting room. The owner also rents and provides at no charge to guests two full-size beachside chairs with matching umbrella during the vendor rental season (Mar 15 - Oct 31), plus extra beach chairs stored in one of the bedrooms for your use. The balcony includes a wrought iron table with chairs for outdoor dining and more, and an expansive beautifully furnished seating and lounging area. You and your guests will love the oversized 10x28 open-view balcony with plenty of room for everyone.
The unit comes with a designated, assigned parking space on the second level of the parking garage and valet carts to transport your luggage, just steps from the elevator, plus ample additional parking available in Tropic Winds’ 2-level overflow parking garage located just a 60-second walk across the street from the building. Its upscale country/coastal décor flows throughout every room with bamboo flooring in every room except the bathrooms. The bathroom floors are tiled with unique diamond shape insets. Both bathrooms have been updated. There are custom designed inset tiles in the walk-in shower in the master with a seat and dual shower heads along with an updated vanity and mirror. The guest bath shower/tub combo is tiled from the tub to the ceiling.
When entering the front door, there is custom installed wainscoting with hooks and matching wainscoting at kick-space under the bar. The kitchen is fully applianced and well stocked with cookware, dishes, cups, glasses, utensils, pots and pans, two types of coffee makers, 4-slice toaster, an array of high-grade spices, and much more—most everything you would have in your own home! There are ceiling fans in the living room and both bedrooms, and upgraded light fixtures in the living room, dining room, kitchen, and both bathrooms. The dining area and kitchen bar comfortably seat 9 (daytime only, please, as only 6 people can sleep over, per Tropic Winds rules and regulations). The living room has a memory foam mattress queen convertible sofa, plus 2 comfortable recliner chairs, all purchased in 2022.
The master bedroom has custom-made black out drapes and comfortable Simmons Beautyrest bedding. The rear bedroom has two brand new full-size, very comfortable beds, as well as blackout drapes. Both the living room and master bedroom open to the balcony where you will find comfortable seating while enjoying the views. Our unit is meticulously maintained and comes with a new Carrier HVAC system and a new 50-gallon hot water heater both installed May 2021. Also, the living room and both bedrooms come with wide-screen Smart TVs with remotes.
Our condo operates with a keyless entry system--no wasting time checking in at the front desk! When you arrive, just come on in and let your luxury vacation begin! Our home is also equipped with a Ring video doorbell for added security for you and the property. The doorbell only has visibility of the exterior entrance and cannot see into the unit. In addition, we offer Free wireless and Netflix. We also have a porta-crib, high chair, games, beach towels, and much more to make your stay convenient, fun, and relaxing.
There is a separate laundry room with a front load washer and dryer. A queen-size sleeper sofa and 2 new modern recliners in the living room allow for TV viewing on the large screen Smart TV. Guests can also have beachside barbecues at ground level, using the HOA-provided picnic tables and gas grills already equipped with HOA-provided propane or the charcoal grills also provided by the HOA (without charcoal you must supply), at no charge.
Nearby activities include golf courses, deep sea fishing, water sports, tourist attractions, amusement parks, lazy river kayaking, and a wide variety of dining and take-out opportunities. Location, Location, Location...Tropic Winds is on the West end of the beach which is quieter and family friendly yet close to all of the major attractions. It is also only minutes west of Pier Park, the new huge shopping, dining and entertainment complex in PCB.
PLEASE NOTE: VRBO has changed its algorithm by providing a total 2023 "Host Fee" cost for your vacation without explaining that it already includes our $208.00 cleaning fee, $128.00 administrative fee, $70.00 parking passes fee, and a refundable $400.00 security deposit designated as a "Property Fee".
AND IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SECOND BEAUTIFUL END UNIT WITH EQUALLY STUNNING ACCOMMODATIONS AND VIEWS IN OUR SAME TROPIC WINDS BUILDING, check out our very high-in-demand 3 bed/3 bath Tropic Winds unit 601, by Googling VRBO Listing # 1461694!
One final important point of reassurance--many of our guests inquire about the availability of a trip insurance policy they can buy through VRBO, to enable our guests to obtain reimbursement for their travel and vacation payments if their ability to enjoy their planned vacation is frustrated by an Act of God such as a hurricane, tornado or excessive flooding, or by a beach closure. The answer is Yes. When you register and pay for vacation time at our site, please look for the option to purchase such insurance during your reservation check-out process, and you can buy it right through VRBO pr, if you prefer, through your own insurance agent! When you do so, please be sure to read up on what the coverage you purchase gives you.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
1. The sleeping Occupancy Limit of our unit is 6, regardless of age. If you need to sleep more guests, please consider booking our equally gorgeous 3 bedroom/3 bathroom Tropic Winds Unit 601 which is also an END unit on the southerly side of the same building easily accessible from this Unit 1709 and is authorized to sleep 8 persons (see our VRBO listing # 1451694 to check it out).

Thoroughly enjoyed our 11 day stay overlooking the Gulf. The apartment was well furnished and very clean. Great communication from the owner and accessing the apartment was convenient. And, the view from the 17th floor was amazing. We would stay here again the next time we are in the area.
Love this location and the dedicated parking. Communication with owner was excellent with all the needed details for our stay clearly communicated. The unit is well decorated and enjoyed our stay.
Amazing property, unbelievable beach and quiet location for our trip. Rob and Carol are great hosts and their condo was immaculate. We were so impressed with their communications and knew just what to expect. We felt right at home in this property and hated to leave. Hope to return again one day.

Thanks for the beautiful review, Becky. As you know, you will be most welcome for an encore! Rob & Carol
beautiful well kept condo, wonderful views, had everything you needed for a great vacation experience, the owners did everything they could to ensure a worry free time, will definitely return!! 🤗
This condo was very clean and provided the best views of the bright blue waters of PCB! Love all the furniture options on the big balcony! The owners were communicative, very easy to work with, and extremely organized providing an easy check in/check out process. The condo was fully stocked with kitchen supplies, beach equipment, towels, etc. Will definitely book this condo again in the future!
Everything about the unit and our experience there was perfect. The owners were very easy to work with and handled all aspects of the rental with professionalism. The condo itself is beautiful, and the patio was very large with a fabulous view. The building amenities were in good repair and easily accessible, and the beach chairs made relaxing on the beach comfortable. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a great beach vacation.
Absolutely beautiful! The description is perfect, the only thing missing is the sound of the waves! The unit was extremely clean and the view from the balcony is beyond words. If you have come across this condo as an option for your stay, book it! You will not be disappointed.

Thanks, K. You were excellent guests welcome to return! Rob & Carol
Beautiful property with the most amazing views. Nice quiet condo unit that is not overly crowded. Condo was had the perfect layout for our family of 4. Best thing was the breathtaking views every morning. We could see dolphins, turtles, fish and even manatees swimming by. Excellent communication from the owner and will want to stay here again soon.
The condo was beautiful, our only complaint was the weather wasn’t the greatest and we had one sleepless night because of the strong southerly winds rattling & banging the railings all night long and it sounded like a freight train
My family and I were very pleased with this VRBO. The 2-bedroom room was spacious and we loved having 2 beds in the second bedroom. Having the room all the way at the end of the hall was perfect and nicely blocked out noises. The curtains in the master bedroom and the den did not block out light but it was fine for my family. The shower door in the master bath leaked water some but nothing a towel couldn’t wipe up. The kitchen was nicely stocked with utensils. The washer and dryer were excellent and the entire room was nicely decorated. And it was so nice to have use of some beach chairs! We would most definitely stay here again!
The condo was as advertised, the kitchen was well stocked , had a nice variety of spices. The starter supplies were more than adequate. The beds were comfortable, the bedding top quality. The beach was beautiful, and not crowded.
The condo building was very clean and well maintained. The pool was clean, with lots of comfortable lounges. Unfortunately the hot tub only worked intermittently.
The furniture in the unit was very comfortable both inside and on the balcony. The view from the balcony was amazing! Overall the condo unit and the building are 5 star. I would definitely stay again!
Oh gosh, where to start? The condo is stunning...absolutely gorgeous (as pictured). Although the weather could've been warmer for our preferences, as long as the wind was coming from the east, we pretty much lived on the balcony. The view is breathtaking. Don't get me wrong, we were out there daily, but the wind from the west was just too cold to sit out there long (December after all).
We were there in the off-season, so things were very quiet just like we wanted. Some restaurants were closed until after Christmas day, but we had no problems finding places to eat. Post-holiday, I HIGHLY recommend Mike's (low key place with fabulous seafood dishes).
Our host was super easy to work with and quickly responded to our questions.
Go here! I mean it. You will not be disappointed.
We enjoyed our week stay here with our family. The owner was very responsive and available. We had a few issues upon arrival and Rob took care of each right away. The condo is beautifully decorated just like the pictures. There is plenty of space for the family to spread out and have their own space. The balcony is breathtaking looking over the beautiful blue water and beach. Having the beach chairs and umbrella daily was so nice to have. The room also had everything you needed for your stay from beach towels, extra beach items (chairs, umbrella, toys) to cooking utensils. The only downside to the resort would be the elevators are extremely slow and there was only 2 working the week we were there. The pool is on the smaller side. However, we stayed at the beach and in ocean so that didnt effect us much. Will definitely stay at this condo again and with Rob. Thank you for a great week creating memories with our kids.

Very nice review, E. It was a pleasure to have you as our guests! Rob
From the moment we arrived (and before) we were impressed! Our first words when we opened the door were WOW! This rental did not disappoint. Our hosts were both pleasant to work with and very thoughtful in every way. Because of them our stay was everything we could have hoped for. Our check in and out was a breeze and we found the condo to be exactly as the listing states and more....clean, comfortable, and cozy!
Beautifully decorated with a tasteful and charming beach theme. Ample soft bath towels, beach towels, and linens, cozy throws for a cool night, and comfortable and inviting furniture. TV's in the living room and both bedrooms, and every kitchen appliance and gadget necessary to be convenient. It felt like home!
The absolute best was the panoramic view of the gulf from an expansive balcony with both a sunrise and sunset view! It was incredibly gorgeous. A perfect spot for coffee in the morning and wine at sunset.
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay Rob and Carol! You've created paradise!

Thanks for your very kind words, Deb. Rob & Carol Nadeau
Just beautiful! The condo was as lovely as the pictures and the end unit balcony gives you such amazing views! Rob and Carol were wonderful to work with, always available with answers to any questions. We’ll be back!
I’ve been coming to the Gulf for my whole life. This is by far the cleanest condo I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. It’s beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home. You can tell Rob and Carol thought of everything and really care about their renters experience. We will definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay. The condo was clean and beautiful. The balcony views were amazing. Rob was very attentive and accommodating.

About the host
Hosted by Robert Nadeau
Carol and Rob are 2022 retirees from New England. We sold our former New Hampshire and Maine homes as we approached retirement, and bought this/our permanent residence. We make it available to VRBO renters and vetted returning guests when we are away from home, which includes as much as almost 6 months per year . It's gorgeous--a wonderful place for beauty, amenities and serenity!
Why they chose this property
Our unit is located in the Tropic Winds Condominium, which is the newest beachfront high-rise condominium building, and perhaps the most serene condominium complex, in Panama City Beach, with convenient parking located near the building's elevators, directly below. Everything that's fun or culinary in and near Panama City Beach is either within walking distance or within a short drive, but because our building is located closer to the westerly side of PCB there is less traffic and noise than is typical of the more easterly sections of the beach.
What makes this property unique
Unsurpassed million dollar, wide-deck facilitated 270-degree panoramic views of the sugar sands and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico located right below our gorgeous, well-equipped, comfortable 17th floor unit with 2 master bedrooms/bath combinations. Since it's our home, our guests can enjoy it as they would enjoy their own home, with all the usual furnishings, appliances, kitchen stuff, bedding, etc.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
