About this property

Budget Friendly, Ocean Front, Golf, Restaurants...

Welcome! 5 Star and our 9th year! How exciting to have shared our home with so many amazing people.

Exciting news! The pool and grill areas have beautiful new lighting. Great ambiance and turtle friendly. The pool will be OPEN into the evening!!! It’s magical on a hot Florida night after basking in the Gulf of Mexico.

We have had our building freshly painted and added palm trees to welcome you to the beach and paradise on the Gulf of Mexico. We are continuing to improve our complex and I am proud to call it my home.

This is the Moondrifter Condominium complex. A mid-size complex. 8815 Thomas Drive. Panama City Beach, Florida.

This is our home. We totally renovated this past winter. We sanitize before and after every family. We have full sanitation material station and laundry station with Heavy Duty NEW 2022 machines. (Just shake out the sand first please!). Utilize the amenities.

I don’t allow smoking in my home. I have a little boy that has Cystic Fibrosis that vacation every year. And asthmatic family. Smoke outside and shut the door.

6 People per Unit Maximum! Per Fire Marshal.

Pool is rarely crowded. No waiting for elevators. And located next to so many restaurants, fun parks, golf course, etc. and beach front!!! Right on the beautiful Gulf of Mexico! The view and access to the beach is BEACH FRONT! Security gate from and to the beach from our Moondrifter. For yours and your family’s safety.

My unit is rated 5 Stars and I work hard to keep it that way so that you have the best vacation.

NEW FURNITURE, BEDS, APPLIANCES, FULL SIZE WASHER/DRYER, Breakfast BAR, Pack n Play, 2 way high chair, games, toys, cooler, picnic/BBQ basket, books…

TV’s are all Smart TV’s although no apps available to renters. and WIFI!!

Family friendly Condo. Sleeps 6 People-maximum! 2 in Queen Beds and 2 in Queen Sofa sleeper. Must be 25 years or older. There is a futon that one can sleep on if needed.

Walk to major nightclubs-Ms Newbies, Pineapple Willy's, Hammerhead Fred's, Neon’s, longboard’s. etc. Fun parks galore! Zoo, shopping, Winery's, Golf!

Only 3 floors up so no waiting for elevators during busy season.
Equipped with all necessities and luxuries of home. Grills available, pool, outdoor dining, parking, in unit washer/dryer, free WI FI, Cable.

Beautifully redecorated 2 bedroom, 2 bath, Master has its own bath. 1110 s.f. unit Right on the beach, overlooking the Gulf from your private balcony. No commuting necessary......Condo is situated close to all amenities. No traffic to deal with.

There is a $40 per vehicle fee that you pay in the office. Make sure you stop in and get your parking pass to prevent being towed!

A FINAL note RE: BAD REVIEWS ONLINE

REMEMBER---If you read a bad review on a condo, ONE unit does NOT represent the whole complex. There are always a couple unit owners or management companies at every complex that do not take the pride in their home like we do personally. That is why we work hard to keep our 5 star rating. Also, Our HOA is working very hard improving our complex. And it is looking beautiful!

Trip Advisor Review from shergarcia:
Condo unit 303
“First, we rented from an individual owner who was the nicest person to deal with. The view was awesome and even though the nightclub next door was very loud, it wasn't intolerable. The unit was exceptionally clean, very updated, anything you needed was provided except your toothbrush and clothes. Full size washer/dryer including detergent and fabric softener, coffee pot including filters, sugar and cream, condiments in fridge and pantry, lots of towels and washcloths, extra pillows, beach towels, beach toys, beach cart w/ice chests, rocking chair on the balcony was wonderful.
We have stayed in a lot of places up and down the Florida coast over the years and I must say, this was one of the most pleasant experiences we have had. Condos are very convenient to attractions, some in walking distance and the ice cream shop in the parking lot is awesome but expect to wait in a long line. Stay in unit 303 and you will not be disappointed. Sue, the owner, was awesome.”

Thank you, Welcome and enjoy your vacation,

About the host

Hosted by Susan Dumais

Host profile image
Hi and Welcome to our Condo at the Moodrifter. My name is Susan. I am the new and proud owner/manager. I have spent most of my life in the insurance business back in New England. We decided that it was time to enjoy all that the beautiful State of Florida has to offer. Which brought us to Panama City and Panama City Beach.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this condo immediately upon viewing it. No second thoughts! It is located so close to everything that you can imagine!! Just at the edge of the parking lot there is an Ice Cream parlor and a great Pizza Restaurant. What more can you ask for? How about Signal Hill Golf, across the street? Super Clubs next door? Fun parks and zoo?
I hope you enjoy our condo as much as we do.
