So, you’ve decided you want to vacation at Shores of Panama…the nicest tropical setting beach resort in Panama City Beach. Now the decision is which unit do you stay in? Like all beach resorts or large hotels, there rooms with good views and not-so-good views, rooms convenient to get to and rooms “way down the corridors”, rooms up high and down low, rooms that are nicely decorated and those that are stark and prices that vary from room to room.

Shores of Panama is no different. It is important to the enjoyment of your stay that you chose the right unit. There are many listed on VRBO but here are ten reasons you should choose this listing:

TEN (10) REASONS TO RENT OUR UNIT

1) We have very competitive pricing on our unit.
2) Our unit faces southwest which gives you sun until dusk with magnificent sunset views. On 6TH floor just above palm trees but low enough for best views of pool & beach.
3) You have full view of the tropical pool, deck area…and the beach, the focal point of Shores of Panama
4) The unit is on the 6th floor…high enough to be above the palm trees but low enough to give you great views of the tropical pool while sitting on the deck and in the Living Rm or Kitchen.
5) Reserved parking on same level as unit with parking space right at the door. No elevators!
6) We are the second unit inside the building from the garage. Very convenient for loading and unloading your vehicle, also when getting groceries, or out to eat no waiting on elevators!!!
7) Unit is nicely decorated, has upgraded mattresses and a well equipped kitchen.
8) Bunkie area has a door to close it off from the living room for privacy for teenagers and quiet for little ones.
9) The unit is between 2 sets of elevators (total 4) making it convenient when going to pool or beach.
10) We, as owners, are responsive to your needs and will have everything organized to make your arrival, stay and departure most enjoyable.

NOT all units are equal! Be sure you know what you are getting when you commit to your vacation at Shores of Panama. Be sure and read the reviews.

We couldn’t have had a better week to stay here. Place was nice & clean! The view from the suit was AMAZING! We had 4 adults & 2 children & everyone had plenty of room. Was very impressed on how big the bunkbed room was with a half bath!

Great Family Stay

We had a great stay. Rhonda is a joy to rent from. She was in contact with us prior to our stay and while we didn't have any issues that required us to contact her during the stay, I believe she would have been just as prompt and attentive. The condo itself is GREAT. Everything was clean and ready for our use. While not listed, the condo had an umbrella and chairs for our use (we didn't use them, but would have had we not brought our own). The condo has also added a 4 person table which was nice. The location of the condo was perfect. Pineapple Willy's was right next door. We ate dinner there the first night (we just walked over) and then used our refillable cups the rest of the week. We never had much issue with the elevators. We did walk the stairs down when we could (when we didn't have our beach cart with us). Two pieces of advice - 1. Don't bother with the on-site grill. Food was just ok, and kind of pricy. I did see others that door dashed or did pizza delivery if you need to order food. 2. There isn't a sign and we didn't figure this out until day 2, but to get in to the garage, hold your wristband for a few seconds. If you just wave it quickly, it won't open the gate.

Super clean and great communication

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and communication with them was beyond what I expected. The good thing about this place is that it's on the 6th floor and your parking spot is right there by the entrance. The elevators go out of service a lot so be prepared to wait or take the steps...this obviously has NOTHING to do with the condo but being on the 6th floor is super helpful when this does happen - not too many flights that you have to take. We will 100% stay again!!!!

This particular unit at The Shores of Panama was great. The check-in and out was effortless. The unit was clean. We had all the utensils we needed to prepare meals, and everything was clearly labeled. It was really great to have good restaurants and activities within walking distance.

Great location, pool

Enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo in Shores of Panama. Lots of likes to mention: reserved parking spot near room that was easy to get in and out of; clean and spacious condo well stocked with needed kitchen items and linens; comfy, comfy beds; bunk room was great for teen boys; view from balcony of pool and ocean is great; had groceries delivered from Walmart which is across street and great proximity; enjoyed drinks at Pineapple Willys next door; close to WonderWorks, putt putt, winery, and Shell Island (although was not impressed and do not recommend Shell Island); drinks at pool bar were tasty; despite large complex, tons of room in pool for adults and kids as well as chairs outside the pool; beach chairs and noodles are provided in the condo and were of great use! A few things to note though, not fault of the owners, just goes along with this condo community….you WILL WALK 6 FLIGHTS OF STEPS numerous times if you stay during the summer. On our 7 day trip, I got to ride the elevator up one time and down one time. I knew this up front as I read in reviews but did not really understand I would be doing this all 7 days. It’s ok. It’s great exercise, but if you have little ones, elderly individuals in your party, or those with physical limitations, you will have to wait for the elevator and when I say wait, there are lines to get on it, I’m not exaggerating. Also, best vehicle in parking garage is car or smaller suv. We drove car snd compact suv, totally worked. There were people in trucks and suburbans, which made for difficult maneuvers at times. All in all, it was a wonderful stay and I would recommend to a family with teenagers.

Beautiful view but…..

The view was beautiful! The day we arrived check in was at 4pm, but the property bands that you pay extra for to be able to use the pool and come and go on the beach side were not all left on the counter. The owner did not contact me back until 9:30-10pm, so the first day we were not able to use the amenities that I had paid for. Two of the three numbers that were on the refrigerator and listed here were incorrect/ disconnected. Internet is listed, but know it doesn’t really work. We did not have a signal majority of the time (maybe an hour total of our stay it worked). Although on vacation I needed to log on for work a few times and my kids wanted to stream shows at the end of the day neither were able to be accomplished. Interesting enough the owner was able to contact me by message, calling, and email before check out time on the last day to accomplish cleaning the room earlier for the next guest. Not my best experience with a property owner. Otherwise a nice condo and property.

Great location and amenities

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful condo! Comfortable beds, great laundry machines, well stocked kitchen tools, nice linens. The owners went above and beyond to make the reservation process go smoothly. The parking spot was so convenient- we never waited one second for an elevator when going to dinner lol! There were so many restaurants nearby, with ample parking and seating. We also enjoyed being so close to Pineapple Willies 🍍 right next door to complex. There was friendly staff and excellent security. We would definitely visit again!

Unit 618 Shores of Panama

We really enjoyed our week long stay and our accommodations at Unit 618. Very crowded time of summer. We didnt enjoy the loudness of the yelling and cat calling in the evening from balcony to balcony. It was every evening around dark. Not much control over that. Also, the availability of elevators is ridiculous. There were instances where people waited 10-15 minutes to catch an elevator. My father is in a wheelchair, has no other option and each time someone had to wait with him. Luckily, we were only 6 floors up so we took the stairs all day. My recommendation, visit in the fall or spring.

Awesome View, Awesome Location, Awesome Parking, and Awesome condo

Do not let some bad reviews at Shores keep you away, Condos are Privately owned here, The owners of this unit take pride in keeping their condo up clean, modern. I have checked out condos all across PCB by far this is my favorite. The view is amazing beautiful clear water to look at, you also get the view of the beach and pool, The pool is very pretty and large with beautiful landscaping. The main thing is location location location. Parking on same floor as your unit which means no catching an elevator it is a spot right by the door no one can park beside of you, easy to load and unload, also the room is not far from the parking garage and is in the middle of 2 sets of elevators to go down to the beach which is priceless. The unit has a nice kitchen and nice furnishings. You will not be disappointed.

Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable, sometimes vacations can be a hassle, this was one of our most enjoyable vacations. Let me tell you some of the reasons why I reccomend this unit. overlook any negative reviews about Shores, This unit is located conveniently between 2 sets of elevators, the parking spot in gargage is fantastic on 6th floor close to door no cars on either side of you, dont have to catch elevator, easy to pack and unpack because so close. The beds sleep really well, the view from the balcony is stunning and serenity. great view of pool and gulf and perfect height level. The kitchen had plenty of untensils we enjoyed the beach chairs provided. We were fortuante enough to meet Dean and Rhonda and they were in the area, they were super nice and went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. I reccomend this condo due to its location, cleanliness, decor, and owners. Thank you Dean and Rhonda

About the host

Hosted by Rhonda Lautzenheiser

Host profile image
We grew up in Indiana but moved south many years ago. We live in Cumming GA which is off GA 400 on the far north side of the Atlanta Metro area. We have 3 daughters and 10 grandkids who all live within 30 minutes of our house. We retired several years ago to spend time attending to the kids, grandkids, playing tennis, golf and attending to our real estate 'business'. We love the outdoors and especially the beach areas. We hope to move to the Panama City Beach area in a couple of years.

Why they chose this property

We looked in several locations and at several resorts in Panama City Beach before deciding on Shores of Panama. We also purchased a 4 Bedroom 3 full baths condo at Boardwalk Beach Resort. Panama City Beach is ideal for us because of its relative close proximity to Atlanta. We much prefer the gulf over the Atlantic Ocean. PCB offers the best beaches in the US, excellent weather, great variety of shopping, lots of restaurants, 5 golf courses and other amenities in the immediate area.

What makes this property unique

With the addition of Pier Park and several upscale restaurants, Panama City Beach now offers all levels of dining and shopping. We enjoy the ability to eat and shop at upscale places as well as choose the local hangouts and those out of the way 'hole-in-the-wall' treasures. When on vacation in PCB take the opportunity to rent a pontoon and explore the inner bays. It's great!
