Very nice

We had a great time at the property. Location to the beach was wonderful, not a very far walk. We had a resort pool right in our backyard. (There are many pools on the property, so our pool was never overcrowded). The townhouse was very well stocked with beach toys, chairs, a beach wagon, beach towels, bath towels and washcloths, kitchen supplies, etc. Cindy was very quick to respond when needed- I will def be back to this property! It was perfect.

Grande Island

The condo is very cute, short walk to beach! Cindy was beyond helpful. Wish I enjoyed Panama City as much as I enjoyed the condo. Maybe it was the time of year but the beaches were so packed we had to look quite a while for somewhere to sit. But if you love PCB I highly recommend renting this adorable condo and trust me Cindy will respond to anything you need.

FANTASTIC

During the entire booking process, and continuing throughout checkout day, the communication exceeded our expectations. The property itself is lovely. It’s one of the best units in the complex, with proximity to the pool and beach access. We all loved the expansive green space behind the unit. The palm trees give a feeling of privacy and seclusion that many of the units don’t have and outdoor lighting made the outdoor space usable day or night. The blackout curtains in the master bedroom and the living room offer privacy and darkness, but the lighting throughout brightens the space and makes it feel light and airy, even in the evening. The condo had everything we needed to start our morning. Coffee, shampoo, body wash were readily available and gave us the smooth start to the morning that we needed and Wal-mart is extremely close! Our dogs were welcomed and there are waste stations throughout the complex. I highly recommend renting this unit specifically, but I also highly recommend renting from Cindy Ross, the owner. After checkout, she called and texted because my elderly mother had misplaced quite a bit of cash while on the trip. Her cleaning staff found my mother’s stash, reported it to Cindy, and she made immediate plans to get that back to us. Integrity. Thank you to Cindy and her housekeeping.

Roomy, clean, comfortable, responsive owner.

This was our 3rd trip to this complex and this was the nicest condo yet. Big, clean, very comfortable furniture, all the amenities you can think of, and the owners responded immediately with a couple of small issues we had.
