About this property

Beachfront Living with a Postcard View!

Looking for a tranquil, uncrowded vacation spot on the quiet end of the beach? Whether your idea of a vacation is watching the sunset from your own balcony, sitting by the pool, or lounging on the silvery white sand by the azure water, Mariner East 406 can fulfill your fantasy. From the living room, kitchen, or dining area, an uninterrupted view of the Gulf of Mexico is yours. There is always plenty of room since there are only 58 units in Mariner East, and these are among the widest and largest one bedroom units on Panama City Beach—no crowding at the pool, on the beach, or at the elevator. Common areas have recently been refreshed and repainted, and the building has just undergone a total exterior renovation including walkways and the pool area. Being right on the beach, it is easy to run back up for something you might have forgotten or to grab a bite to eat. Should you decide to dine in, all of your food preparation items are provided. When you don’t want to cook, a myriad of good restaurants are close by, as are all kinds of entertainment venues; deep sea fishing, boat and jet ski rentals, parasailing, golf and amusement parks are just a few of the many possibilities. St. Andrews State Park is a couple of miles down Thomas Drive and the new Pier Park shopping and entertainment complex is only a short driving distance away. For those who prefer to fly, the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is just a few miles north of Panama City Beach.

It will be easier to pack for your trip here since we provide hair dryers in each bathroom, four generous beach towels, four beach chairs, a beach umbrella, sand toys, and a small cooler.

In 2019, the master bath 5-ft. shower was re-done with new tile and has a glass shower door. Subway tile was added to both the en suite and second bathrooms. Other improvements from the last few years include custom bathroom vanity cabinets with quartz countertops and new faucets; kitchen cabinets were refurbished with new doors and drawers plus a new corner cabinet unit was added; a new stainless steel microwave was installed over the range allowing for more counterspace and a new stainless steel dishwasher. Other features include custom room-darkening shutters and draperies in the bedroom; room-darkening draperies in the living room; under-counter lights and over-sink lighting in the kitchen; subway tile backsplash; can lighting in both bathrooms; and a ceiling fan in the bedroom; second bath-- tub with tile surround and glass doors. There is porcelain, plank-style floor tile throughout the unit.

The kitchen has solid surface countertops with undermount sink, a smooth-top range, stainless steel microwave, stainless steel dishwasher, and refrigerator with ice maker. All typical small appliances are included.

The living room has a comfortable couch (sofa-bed), loveseat, and recliner from which you can watch the flatscreen television/DVD/blu-ray player or just enjoy that magnificent Gulf Coast view through the balcony door or as reflected in the four cathedral-top wall mirrors on the living/dining room walls.

The generous dining table in its shiplapped alcove easily seats six.

The bedroom has two queen-sized beds, a large dresser, a flat-screen television and its own bathroom. The bedroom has a ceiling fan and light along with sconce lighting over the beds on a shiplapped wall. A great convenience is the second full bath located off the hallway. Silky sheets and plenty of soft, thick towels make your stay more comfortable. We offer a wide variety of pillows (down alternative, medium, firm, and memory foam) to meet your preference.

A full-size washer and dryer are provided in your own laundry room with plenty of space to store any extra belongings. Beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, and a cooler are also kept here.

The unit has its own wireless network allowing guests to access the internet from any room with no extra charge.

The front door is secured by a hospitality-grade electronic lock system that enables us to generate a different code for every guest, so your code is specific to you and the dates of your stay. No concerns that a previous guest might have access to your unit, and no worries about forgetting your key!

We invite you to vacation in Mariner East Unit 406, our comfortable beachfront retreat on one of the nicest sections of the Gulf Coast’s Panama City Beach, a beach that has often been described as the most beautiful in the world.

Great little getaway condo.

Condo is beautifully updated and it is so nice not to be in a massive building with tons of people. Lots of peace and tranquility to be found here. Love the large laundry room and that the owners provide a lot of items not typically found in condo rentals - such as beach gear. Also bed linens and towels are top quality. Will definitely stay again.

Perfect for Girls Trip

This condo was perfect for our girls trip with one bedroom, 2 beds and 2 baths! Tastefully decorated & newly remodeled plus had all the necessities in the kitchen for our 4 night stay. We fully enjoyed the view every morning with coffee & breakfast! Pool was fantastic and not crowded at all. Had it all to ourselves one afternoon. Walk to the beach was the shortest we could have and the fact that chairs and umbrellas were supplied made it perfect since we flew. The beds were super comfy and much to our surprise, we never heard anyone above us, beside us or even on the outdoor walkway to the elevator, which was just outside our door. Highly recommend this condo. So much that we hope to stay there again!

Best Vacation Ever

This was literally one of the best vacations we ever had. The weather was perfect, the water was beautiful, and the condo was even better than described. It had everything that you could possibly need, it was extremely clean, and the location was absolutely perfect. And anytime I needed to ask a question, and emailed the owner, she would respond within minutes. Could not ask for a better stay, and even my kids said that this was their favorite place, that we have ever stayed at while at the beach. Thanks again to the owners for allowing us to stay here, trust me, we will be staying here again in the future.

Perfection

Property Was better than described. Unit and grounds were very clean and well maintained. Maintenance was very nice and helpful. The view was great, I loved having a place to put beach toys that I didn’t have to drag all the way through the condo and onto the balcony. The rooms were just gorgeous and clean. We did not have one seconds trouble and we would stay here again over and over.

Wonderful condo on a quiet part of the beach

The condo was clean and so nice, we appreciated the owners being responsive when we had questions about the fitness room. Everything was just as described. We were celebrating our Anniversary a week early and so glad we chose this quiet part of the beach. It was our first time in Panama City Beach and we were very pleased with the whole experience. Beautiful sunsets on the balcony and Schooners restaurant was only a mile away. Also the manager of the Mariner East took great care of the pool area. All the things needed for a fun day on the beach was in the storage closet as well as new Washer & Dryer. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Can't wait to come back!

This condo is so nice & everything about it is convenient! The towels & bed linens are of excellent quality, all the dishes, utensils & cookware are really good quality also! There is only a short walk from parking to the elevator, we never experienced a wait for the elevator in the 6 days we were there. I hesitate to give such a great review, simply because the more that stay, the less available it will be for me in the future! haha Owners are great & very easy to reach if you have a question. Thank you so much for providing such a great property!

Wonderful Week!

We had a great week at this place ! Grounds and the condo were very well maintained! People friendly ! Owners were great to work with! We have stayed many Places in our past! But this was by far one of My favorites! The only complaint I have is that people are allowed to fish out in the ocean where folks are swimming ! 3 baby sharks caught which means mom is somewhere! And one of the lines got caught on my throat ! Ridiculous! Other than that we had a glorious week ! Hated to have to leave! Anthony and Cindy (Southside, AL)

Lovely Gulf front unit.

This is a beautifully, and thoughtfully decorated unit. The living space is roomy and uncluttered, with comfortable furniture. The kitchen and bathrooms are very neat, new and equipped with everything you need. Although one big pot for pasta would be a good addition to the kitchen wares. I wondered if the washer & dryer being outside across the hall from the front door would prove to be inconvenient, and I can honestly say it was a non issue. Additionally, this outside hall closet was stocked with all manner of beach chairs, toys and paraphernalia. PLEASE NOTE: the rating on the “Property” is just that, meaning the property itself, and NOT the clean, individual unit. The glass door at the entrance was broken, signed as such, and the surrounding OUTSIDE areas (NOT the beach) were not clean, nor in good repair. However, midway through the week we noted multiple pallets of construction goods had been delivered to the parking lot area, so hopefully, all will be improved before the season gets in full swing.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Alexander

Host profile image
Before retiring we were (respectively) a high school teacher/counselor and the assistant director of a Big Ten university real estate department. We brought our own children to Panama City Beach for vacations for many years and now enjoy having our grandchildren visit as well.

Why they chose this property

After staying at many condominium projects up and down Panama City Beach for over twenty years, we realized that Mariner East offered what we were looking for in a vacation spot: a small, quiet, family-oriented development with a large share of the beach in proportion to its population and a straight-on view of the beach from the living area. These units are some of the widest one-bedroom units on the beach, and with only six floors and 58 units, it is never crowded at the pool, on the beach, or the elevator.

What makes this property unique

Mariner East is close to many activities, but because of its location on the quiet end of the beach, our guests are not subject to the crowds and noise of large developments housing thousands of people. There is a wide expanse of beach for Mariner East guests, and it is especially nice to be able to look off your balcony and easily locate friends or family members on the beach or at the pool.
