It was absolutely amazing. Gorgeous views from the balcony and great atmosphere for the kids. Easy access to the beach and loved the separate pool for kids on the south parking. We are definitely coming back again next year for spring break.

Thank you so much! You all were amazing guests, and we love hearing you had an awesome time!
Everything was amazing! Luke our host was very responsive and very helpful with explaining how things work. To save some time in the beginning (especially during events around town) make sure to print the parking pass. If you don’t you will need to go to the lobby and get one and wait in line. Past that everything was great. You get wristbands to gain access to the beach by one of the bars. The only issue I had there was the entrance scanner was not working but I was able to gain access by someone coming out. Everything was very clean and had enough supplies to last the time we were there. I will be definitely rebooking again!
Great communication and consideration for our family's vacation and stay. They put in the extra effort for any question or concern we had before and during our stay. The place worked great for us!

We loved having you, and are so happy to hear you had a great time!
Our stay at Lake Wharf was absolutely perfect! The host was extremely accommodating and kept great communication with us throughout. They went above and beyond by providing everything we could need for the beach—chairs, umbrellas, a tent, sand toys, and more. The place was spotless, and the view of the beach was breathtaking. Truly the perfect getaway—we can’t wait to come back!

Thank you Eddie! We love hearing exactly this, and strive to always provide it. So glad you had a great time!
We enjoyed the condo very much. It was beautiful and spacious. We loved how close to it is to the beach and walking distance to stores. The only issue we had was the elevators. The elevator in the parking garage didnt work our entore stay and a few of the elevators were out of service to get to our floor. The elevators were very small. The condo it was was lovely.

Will not return
Owners of the condo were responsive to emails and also arranged quickly to have cleaning service when we reaced out with concerns. Condo cleaniness is medicore and in need off total repainting. Panama City Beach is very nice. The Lakeshore Wharf is very outdated and run down. The staff are respectful and the eateries on the premise are good. However, we only found 5 elevators for a complex that has 21 floors. The wait time for an elevator was absolutely awful which made us not want to leave our condo. In addition, the last day of our stay all the elevators stopped working. We would not return to this comples. The location is congested.

Why they chose this property
We came here on a family vacation and fell in love with the area. It offers something for everyone.
Enjoy the beach view from the private balcony on the 9th floor in one of the best resorts in Panama City Beach. It's located across the street from Pineapple Willy's and on the other side across the street from Front Beach Road Walmart. Private beach access runs parallel with Pineapple Willy's and is about a 3 minute walk from the unit.
What makes this property unique
In addition to being able to walk to the beach, you're a short drive from groceries, Wonderworks museum, as well as countless other restaurants and shops.
If you prefer to stay in, get some pizza from PCB Pizza and Wings or a coffee from The Press, both located on the ground level of the resort. Go for a swim in one of four pools, relax in a hot tub, take your kids to the splash pad on the fourth floor, and end the day by watching the light show on the lake set to music every night at 8 pm.
