We had the best time! Our condo was clean, the view was AMAZING and its location is not bad. Right across from a Winn Dixie which was very convenient. The kids enjoyed the pool and our room overlooked the pool while still having the oceanfront view. We will definitely stay here again!

We had a great time. The view was amazing, the balcony is the perfect location for morning coffee. The beds were comfortable. The rubber crab in the bathroom was the highlight of the trip. The kids played pranks on everyone with it, the crab sure made its way around the condo.

The property was great. My family enjoyed it very much.

The dryer had a load of towels in it when we arrived. :( They had to be dried again and again. The dryer was not working well at all and it took forever to do a load. :( It really took away my fun time at the beach with my family. :( :( New one arrived and installed two days before we left.:)

Amazing View..Amazing Location ..... Room...NOT :(

Aqua Vista is for me the perfect location , perfect view, close to pretty much anything we like to do in Panama City and have always enjoyed our stay at Aqua Vista .. This was our first year staying in the room and lets just say will be our last.... floors was beyond sticky/dirty, TV's worked 2 days then would never connect to WiFi, bedrooms has no curtains had to put garbage bags over them so the kids could sleep due to the lights in the hallway, Owners response to our problems was ZERO response , stove top was nasty with dried food on it , ceiling was dust covered and black from vents, plugs didnt work in 2 bedrooms, took 2 people to open and shut the patio doors from the rust and broken handles , Just a miserable experience on this room, we have been going to Aqua Vista for 20 years and always had great clean service and rooms but this 3 bedroom unit was more like a $49 a night dive off the interstate

Great Location, Gorgeous Balcony View, Priced Well

Condo was as expected, I had read a lot of negative reviews due to the remodeling on the complex & traffic change from new Round about Placement. We had no issues with traffic, actually in a great location ! We were in the East Building - Left Side of property facing the road so it seemed most of the remodeling that would cause noise was completed. No issues with that. The kitchen was small but the living area had plenty of room & dining. The large mirror shown in the dining area has a large nautical rope for decor but it was literally taped with masking tape to stay on. Not a deal breaker but cheesy, if you’re picky this would bother you more than us. Plenty of sleeping room, We had 6 adults, 2 Preteens & a 6 month old. Balcony was awesome with corner view of pool/Ocean is amazing. The pool & hot tub have been updated, only issue was the bathrooms by the pool have a pass code and the men’s was broken for one of the numbers so it was hard to get into. Easy access to pool & ocean ! I had done a few reviews of the property and thought we had access to the Gym for my son who works out daily. They don’t advertise that on VRBO but do on the AquaVista website. It’s only available to owners ! Just a heads up ! Management was easily contacted by txt and quick response. We were exhausted and had a 6 month old, they were able to get us into the condo 2 hours early. Biggest complaint for us would be not enough bath towels for the number of us. Overall good property for cost !

The beach was great this condo not so much.

This condo could be very nice, but it has ALOT of things that need to be done. Starting with getting a new place to manage this condo & then new cleaning crew. It was not filthy but it wasn’t clean either. Floors haven’t been cleaned in a long time, things under furniture from the guest before, dishes that had not been washed or the dishwasher didn’t get them clean & they put them up anyway. Broken sliding glass door, thermostat not working properly & said the owner didn’t want to change it because they didn’t know how to remotely control a new one. Will have to say the guy that came to service the air the 2nd time after it kept freezing up all week was really nice & changed the thermostat anyway, said that was the reason it was freezing up. (It didn’t freeze up anymore) The lock on the front door kept locking us out & when they came to check on it we weren’t doing it right. One last thing, in the description it says you get 2 parking passes but that isn’t true, AquaVista only gives 1 parking pass to each unit. That would’ve been good to know because part of our party was staying 2 weeks & we were only staying 1. (Didn’t find out until it was to late to cancel) You can use public parking that’s like 5 miles away. Winn-Dixie across the street has signs saying if you park there you will be towed. I would just look for a different condo if your looking to stay at Panama City Beach. I would not rent anything from Panhandle Getaways. AquaVista is great but call them directly. Happy vacationing.

Scary elevator

The elevator shakes a lot, and they advertised a gym ( that is not open for the rentals, just for owners, sauna as well) they offer$25 gift cards for Dave and Busters per day you stay but I got nothing 🤷‍♀️So what is advertised is not accurate at all. The vanity bathroom drawers are broken but besides that everything was ok 😀

AQUAVISTA Great Place to vacation- just needs a little work

The condo was nice and even though the cleaner was cleaning until 420 after check in at 4 , that was alright.. The owner needs to have the condo deep cleaned. Lots dust and grim on doors and walls and many holes in walls that need to be fixed. We own rentals and understand--but many people out there would not like the lack of cleanliness.. I do realize right now things cost more--but, at over 500 dollars a night we would expect a little cleaner.. We still had a fantastic time.... Thank You

Will never stay again here

First things first. Our refrigerator did not work the whole first day that we were there. The First Lady told me it was because they turn them off in between people who stay so it takes a minute to cool down and that it would be fine in 4 hours. We went down to the beach and pool for a few hours and came back and all of our stuff that was cold from the grocery store was now hot. We had to put everything in the freezer for it to stay good. I called back and the man on the phone told me maintenance had left already and to give it more time. Not acceptable at all. My husband ended up having to fix the refrigerator. Then the next day our AC went out. Opened the closet to the unit and it looked like the filter hadn’t been changed in years. The unit was froze up. I called and they had me send pictures of the unit and told me to turn it off. After sitting at the beach all day being in a hot condo that we paid thousands for was not ideal. Once again my husband had to fix this issue also. Our dryer took 3 hours to dry a very small load of towels. The closet doors in the bed rooms wouldn’t stay open. Internet didn’t work. Tv in one of the bedrooms didn’t work. Not a good experience at all. We spent a lot of money for a place to stay to relax from work and my husband had to work the whole time for the condo to stay in to even be remotely tolerable.

The review was wrong!!!!

We chose this place based off of reviews and the reviews were wrong. The location of this condo is on the beach and in a low key area compared to Destin or Panama City. Beside being on the beach, the condo was dirty and things were falling apart. It needs lots of TLC. The master bedroom closet was full of junk, making it almost impossible to use the closet, shells falling of mirror in master bathroom, tv box just laying on floor in master bedroom. The living room curtains are not white, they are black on the bottoms from never being washed and falling off the rods. So gross. The furnace/AC door has so much lent and dust on it and is never cleaned. The other 2 spare bedrooms had crap in the closet as well, nerf gun bullets in bedroom drawers. NOTHING is cleaned. They listed they had blinder, no blinder was found. Overall very run down condo just looking to make a buck. Not clean, no updates, not worth your money.

Overall the condo was fine but it was not cleaned well. The disposal does not work, there were corona beer cap stuck down in it. There are several things that just need to be updated. For the price you pay, it’s honestly not worth it. The beds were not comfortable. Would not stay here again. The owners were difficult to get ahold of as well. The only plus is that it’s on the beach.

Dirty, Hot, and Harassed

Day 1- June 29th 2020: we went to the Panhandle office as directed to pick up our “2” parking passes as advertised in our booking. We were told this property only allows “1” space per unit and they were out but they would contact the property to have our passes there to pick up. We arrive to the room at 4pm since early check in was not allowed and we were told the passcode would not work until 4pm for the door. We walked into wet footprints on the floor, food all over the table in the dining room and just from there it was clear our room was not ready. We contacted the office and they stated housekeeping has until 6pm and they would get someone right over, which they did. However, at 6pm when housekeeping left, I was left to clean since they did not vacuum, they did not run the dishwasher, I found socks, a bathing suit and a hat under the beds, and during COVID, attention to detail and cleanliness was NOT a high priority for housekeeping. A guy had contacted me by phone while housekeeping was there and apologized and said he would check back and ensure everything was cared for, that did not happen. I sat 2 hours at the pool with 7 kids while my husband and brother-in-law sat on the balcony with my 7 month old son and all our luggage so the baby wasn’t in the sun for hours, and considering the elevator didn’t work, we did not want to carry all our luggage back down the stairs from the 5th floor down to the 4th. The elevator would not open on the 4th floor. While cleaning, I was sweating and thinking it was from scrubbing everything down, digging hair from the drains, moving furniture to clear dirt and garbage however, I walk to the thermostat to find an alarm saying the air had not been working for the last 4 hours. I contacted Panhandle to notify them about the AC and inform them the refrigerator was not working. 3 guys and 2 days later, they left the filter out of the unit to get the AC to work never truly correcting the issue. The refrigerator was never looked at. On Thursday, we rented 2 golf carts, we rode them most of the day and were in and out of the property with no issue. About 11pm that night, my brother-in-law pulled in “using the gate code” only to pick up the 2 oldest teens to take them out for a ride. A “White” security guard approached him telling him “a black man” that this is private property. My brother-in-law reminded him, he used a “code” to get in so clearly he was a guest, he proceeded to ask for his room #.
