About this property

Mariner’s Retreat | Ocean Views, Pools | Activity Experiences

Summary:

Vacations are taken to all new heights at The Summit! This premier resort complex located right along the emerald shores of Panama City Beach sets the stage for a best-of-all-time getaway, and your private condo of Mariner’s Retreat will be your home base for taking full advantage of this dynamic area.

Please note: From October through April, guests may experience construction noise during the day and, at times, limited balcony access.



The Space:

Guests of the resort will be able to enjoy plentiful onsite amenities such as two large swimming pools, tiki bar, market, restaurant, hot tubs, picnic areas with grills, tennis courts, and a fitness center. Not to mention, this condo boasts full ocean views just steps away from the front door onto the breezy balcony. Just one look and it’ll be easy to see why this area is one of the most beautiful beach destinations in the world!



For on-land exploration, St. Andrews State Park is less than 4 miles away offering many oceanfront trails, or you can venture to Pine Log State Forest or Conservation Park, where inland trails and boardwalks are perfect for walking, hiking, and bicycling amid the trees and marshland. For shopaholics, a trip to the outdoor mall at Pier Park is a must. From over 120 stores including name-brand retailers, to an IMAX theater and laser tag, there’s something for the entire family to enjoy. When it’s time to feed your appetite there are dozens of dining options to choose from, including seafood staples with oceanfront views like Runaway Island or Pineapple Willy’s.



While the views may be the best of the outdoor features of the home, the indoor features are desirable in their own right, with bright and open spaces complimented with comfortable furnishings and stately décor. The living room offers plush sofa and armchair seating perfect for settling in to surf the channels or queue up a movie. The well-equipped kitchen is ready to help you prepare quick snacks and formal meals alike, showcasing stainless steel appliances, sleek countertops, and ample cabinetry stocked with cookware and dining ware. The high-top dining table seats 4 whether you’re dining in or engaging in a fun-filled game night. In the early morning hours with a fresh cup of coffee or the evening hours with a refreshing cocktail, find your way to the balcony to soak in the panoramic views and allow the fresh air to carry the remainder of your worries away.



This home sleeps 4 guests between a private bedroom and a hallway nook with a twin-over-twin bunk bed. The bedroom includes a luxurious king size bed fitted with crisp linens and soft blankets for a great night’s sleep, along with a smart TV. The home’s full guest bathroom includes a single vanity and walk-in shower.



This unit also offers an additional half bathroom off the main Jack & Jill, separated by a pocket door for privacy.

• There are laundry facilities within the community for your access at an additional fee.

Don’t Do It!!!

First and foremost - there is no washer/dryer in this unit!! Yes, I see now that it isn't listed on the amenities, but don't we all assume if you're staying somewhere for a week that you'll have access to this? Who wants to spend hours of their vacation in the LAUNDROMAT on the ground floor doing laundry? Not to mention you have to find QUARTERS to use!! This should've been disclosed, but of course, the owner will NEVER disclose that because NO ONE would rent a unit without a washer/dryer!!!! From now on, I will double-check the amenities to make sure they have it. We have rented condos from VRBO and other listers for 25 years, and we have NEVER been in a unit without a washer/dryer. There are LITERALLY THREE FORKS in this unit!! Seriously? So 5 people can stay there but only three can have forks? Water pressure was NON-EXISTENT in the kitchen and the shower!!! Oh, and the shower is beautifully updated, but it leaks like a faucet and floods the floor in the bathroom. So you have to pile up towels to stop the flood, but OMG THEN YOU HAVE TO GET MORE QUARTERS AND GO TO THE LAUNDROMAT TO WASH THEM!!!!The positives? The decor is nice and they have an air fryer. And the AC works wonderfully. But we had to keep it at a higher temp because there are NO BLANKETS anywhere in this unit. Seriously, keep scrolling and find a better place to stay. But I'm sure no one will ever see this review because the rental company will never post it.

Hi Allison, we really appreciate your candid review, and we’re sorry for the frustration around the lack of washer/dryer, limited kitchen items, water pressure, shower leak, and missing blankets. We’re updating our listing to make amenities clearer and are reviewing stocking and maintenance so guests aren’t caught off guard or inconvenienced the way you were.
