We greatly appreciate your thoughtful comments and the outstanding rating! We look forward to serving you again in the near future.
We had a great stay here! The view is beautiful and the rooms were perfect for our party’s trip. Anything that you need can be found in this condo. It is perfect for being close to the restaurant and walking down one flight of stairs to go to the beach. The communication with the owners was a 10/10!!! I can’t say enough good things about this place. Loved it!

We had a beautiful week for our stay in Panama City.The unit rental was great. Very accessible. It was a very busy time of year and there were a lot of people. We got to enjoy the beach even though it was very hot. Great time with no problems.

Ernest and Ella are wonderful, attentive and caring hosts! Being on the first floor was so convenient-no need to wait for an elevator. Walking distance to Pier Park and several good restaurants was also helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

This condo could NOT have been a more perfect spot!!! The view was AMAZING! It had everything we needed! We sat for hours out on the patio just listening to the ocean and waves! It was wonderful! The bedrooms were great for sleeping arrangements. Earnest and Ella were so helpful with everything!! From restaurant suggestions to entertainment! They were great, as well! Couldn’t have asked for a better condo nor owner! Highly recommend any day, any time!!! Would love to stay again if we ever return to PCB!!!!

We are so delighted by your outstanding 5-star review! Thank you for staying with us. It was a true pleasure serving you!
All the best from Ella and Ernest
Host communication was be very good and the room was very nice with beautiful views. Unfortunately had a family emergency and couldn't stay to really enjoy, but would highly recommend to family and friends in the future. Unfortunately, the pool was closed for maintenance when we tried to go and the other pool was over packed. If you stay at this resort I would highly recommend staying at this room only because the elevators are to slow, and you are just a short walk out your room door to the restaurant and bar. It was conveniently located close to Pier Park.

Thank you for your nice review. June and July are very busy times and many resort pools in PCB become crowded. We are pleased that you enjoyed our lovely first-floor condo near Pier Park. All the best from Ernest and Ella
If you’re looking for a convenient, clean, 1st floor high rise condo, this is it. Owners are great to work with. Well stocked with essentials. We will definitely be staying here again soon.

This is our 3rd or 4th time staying at this property. Everything is always perfect. Always clean and has most everything you need for your stay supplied by the owners, which are the best. They make booking and check-in easy, and stay in contact with you in case you have any additional needs during your stay.

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay! It was a pleasure serving you! We hope to see you again soon one day in the near future. Ella and Ernest
Everything about the place was nice, clean, and comfortable - There were even games and cards for us! - The beach and view from the balcony were awesome, and even on the busiest days (Memorial Day weekend!), it wasn't as crowded as we'd expected. Restaurants, ice cream, and shopping were nearby too - and Ernest was very friendly!

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. We loved being on the 1st floor and not having to use the elevators daily. The views from the living room windows and the upstairs balcony are wonderful. Everything was perfect. We will definitely try to rent this again next year for our family vacation.
