AMAZING Spring Break

It was our granddaughter's Spring Break so a trip to the beach was in order. We had an amazing stay at this beautiful beach condo. The location was perfect, just steps away from the ocean. The condo was clean, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Paula and Doug were very responsive and provided great recommendations for local restaurants and activities. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful place!

This was my 1st time booking with Vrbo and 4th year vacationing at PCB and this place has been by far my favorite, looks exactly like the pictures and more. Steps away from the beach, walking distance to a souvenir shop, an ice cream shop, a 5 minute drive to Walmart and more. Paula, the host, was sweet and helpful. It was absolutely our happy place! Definitely booking again.

Accommodations were perfect. The Norris provides everything you may need. The location was close to everything. The beach chairs were so convenient and didn't require us to bring anything from home. Peaceful and serene.

great stay

great stay, beautiful condo just like the pictures. the only downside is the AC unit in the room is older and loud. It woke us up a couple of times that night. But outside of that the property was BEATUIFUL and the chair service was so amazing, worked out great for our little family.

Convenient Place

This place is all about convenience. Steps from the pool, yet quiet. No waits for elevators. Steps to parking. Great layout for a studio. Central location in east PCB that is under 5 minutes from grocery and drug stores and numerous restaurants, even on a busy holiday weekend. Walk to local clubs and amusement parks if you can tear yourself away from the pool and beach.Top of the Gulf has a wonderful large, well-maintained pool and the beach here is top notch. Included chair and umbrella service was quick and friendly. Unit itself is nicely appointed with tasteful, up-to-date counters, cabinets and flooring. It has a well stocked kitchen and every appliance you can imagine from fans to a vacuum to mitigate the white sand that is a key feature of the Florida panhandle beaches. The place is kept immaculately clean.The beds are super comfortable.

Wonderful Birthday Get Away.

I surprised my husband for his birthday. This location is the perfect distance to a very private part of the beach. The beach attendant was helping in reserving our chairs. The host did an amazing job. The unit was very clean and had all of the amenities that were listed. 10 out of 10 I definitely recommend.

This unit was beautifully decorated and had everything you could need. I am used to bringing cleaning supplies and spending time cleaning before being able to unpack. Not this time!! I was really impressed. The location was fantastic - just steps from the beach! The free umbrella and beach chairs were awesome. Top of the Gulf was very well maintained. There was always someone vacuuming and cleaning. The pool was fantastic and also well maintained. Plenty of chairs by the pool with picnic tables, and grills. Paula was a great host - easy to communicate with and responsive. We arrived early and she was kind enough to let us check in early. We will most definitely be back!!

We loved Paula’s place!

The cutest and most welcoming condo! It has the best patio and right beside the pool area, and a short walk through the pool area to the beach. The condo was very clean and stocked with any essential you could think of. Even an air pump to pump floats! There were 4 of us and we had ample space to fit us comfortably! I will definitely be booking again. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!!

About the host

Hosted by Paula and Doug Norris

Host profile image
My husband Doug, my daughter Madison, and I (Paula) love Panama City Beach! Growing up in Georgia my family would come to Panama City Beach every year. So when I met Doug (he grew up in Las Vegas, NV) I had to take him to the world's most beautiful beaches of the gulf of Mexico and he loved it also. He couldn't believe it had white sand and the water is warm from about April thru October. We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We love that the Top of the gulf is right on the ocean. You don't even have to get out of the bed to see the beautiful ocean view! Close to attractions, shopping and our favorite restaurants! The complex is clean and well kept.

What makes this property unique

The Complex is small and family friendly. Its is also walking distance to the major night clubs if you want to go but far enough away if you don't. It has common area balconies or you can set out on your on patio and enjoy the breeze! Plenty of lounge chairs by the pool and also a kiddie pool.
