About this property

Newly updated! Dunes of Panama 🌴 Free beach service included! 🏖️

"Joy Coastal" is a beautiful two-bedroom Gulf-front condo at the Dunes of Panama on the quiet east end of Panama City Beach.

During your stay, you’ll soak up an unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico. Whether it’s waking up to a view of sparkling turquoise water from your bed or enjoying a special beverage with the last moments of the sunset from the balcony, you’ll be constantly connected to the sea.

The main bedroom has a king bed with a memory foam mattress, hotel-quality linens, a walk-in closet, updated en suite bath with a tiled stand-up shower, and a seating area with a view of the Gulf and balcony access. The second bedroom has 2 Twin XL beds with new gel memory foam mattresses, hotel-quality linens, plenty of storage, and connects to an updated bath with a stand-up shower. The condo can sleep six with a queen sleeper sofa (and new gel memory foam mattress) in the living room.

The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking throughout your stay. In addition to new table service for 8, a Keurig and a traditional 10-cup coffee maker, toaster and blender, you’ll find a full sized refrigerator and a pantry with additional kitchenware.

We have dining room seating for 6 and a comfortable living room that includes a large flat screen 55” Smart TV and two gulf-facing recliners. (Find a better place for a mid-day cat nap - we dare you!)

In addition to hotel-quality bed linens and bath towels, we also provide beach towels for guests to use during their stay. Because trips to the beach are gloriously wet and sandy, we have a top-load washer and dryer in the unit.

The Dunes of Panama is tucked away on the quiet east side of PCB. The five buildings on the property are spread over 1500 ft of sugar-white beach. The result is an ever-present connection with the water that doesn’t feel crowded, three pools that are closer to the sand dunes and beach than the street, and a beautifully landscaped property that you can explore throughout your stay. The setting leads to the feeling that your vacation isn’t mass-produced.

Our condo is located on the 7th floor of the E building, which is the newest building at the Dunes of Panama. We have a pool, snack shop, fitness room, and two dedicated elevators. Because the condos at the Dunes are spread over five buildings, elevator waits during peak season are not nearly the issue they are at other complexes. We have ample parking right next to the building, a convenient, covered, loading area in front of E building, and several luggage carts you can use to bring your items up to the 7th floor.

We are located just a few minutes away from the beautiful St. Andrews State Park. Also close by are several grocery stores (Publix, Winn Dixie, Walmart) and local restaurants. (The Finns Barista Bar and Snack Shack across the street is to die for!) The location is convenient and connected to the heart of Panama City Beach.

Maybe you’re traveling with a larger group and need more space. If so, consider booking our condo and our sister property, which is located on the 6th floor of the E building. Check out VRBO listing #4504148 to see our sister property.

Notes:

- The $50 administrative fee in your quote is charged in lieu of a damage deposit charged by VRBO.
- Please note there is one street-facing security camera at the entrance to the condo.

We know that your time in Panama City Beach is precious. We feel the same way and have appointed our condo to be the perfect home base for your vacation. We truly hope you’ll stay with us!

Just returned from a fantastic stay. The unit is super clean and user friendly. It was very comfortable and felt like home. My wife and I both feel like its the best condo we have ever stayed in. The owner was great to work with. There was an issue with the water in one of the bathrooms in the middle of our stay, and she made sure it was taken care of right away. This will definitely be our go-to place when visiting PCB in the future!. stayed

This place was worth every penny!

The view from the balcony was worth the trip! Saw SO many dolphins! The close proximity to the beach and use of the beach chairs made beach days easy. There were plenty of beach towels for my family of 4! The water is clean and so is the white sandy beach. The condo has everything you need to make meals and then some. Beds are comfy and the overall size of the condo is perfect! We had the best time and hope to go back someday!

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Y

Host profile image
I believe that opportunities for joy are all around us. The ocean has always been a source of joy for me personally. Whether it was as a child visiting my grandparents on Cape Cod, or as an adult cruising to islands in the Caribbean, the ocean has been a place of rest, escape and adventure. It has been a dream come true to own a little slice of paradise. I am so excited to share my beach home with you!

Why they chose this property

When I first laid eyes on the Gulf of Mexico, I was smitten. The emerald water, the squeaky white sand, and the sound of the waves were like home to me. My love for Panama City Beach has only grown as I’ve gotten to know the local culture. I love the Dunes of Panama. The resort buildings are spread out over 1500 ft of gorgeous shoreline, set back from the road, in a quiet part of Panama City Beach. When we first saw this condo, we loved how connected it was to the water. Having the master bedroom on the Gulf was important to us. Our family of 4 fits very comfortably into this space. The waters of the gulf change daily, providing near constant waterfront entertainment. If you wake up on a morning where the water is calm, grab a cup of coffee and watch the water - I’d be willing to bet you’ll see dolphins catching their breakfast!

What makes this property unique

Our personal approach to hospitality is one of abundance and trust. We trust our guests. It comes across in the way we’ve furnished the space. We’ve chosen furnishings that we would have in our own home. The kitchen is outfitted with carefully chosen, newer items for an easy cooking experience. The books we provide for guests to borrow are our personal favorites - the kind of stories we would like to be immersed in during our own beach vacation. As people with busy lives ourselves, we know how precious vacation time is. We want our guests to feel like they’re staying at a friend’s beach house, where every detail has been thought through. When the occasional issue arises, we’ll do everything in our power to resolve it in the way we would want it resolved if our own vacation was on the line. We treat our guests like friends, and by the end of your stay, we consider you one of ours!
