Convenient, safe, lots of activities!!!

Check in was a breeze. The host emailed with all of the codes and information we needed. The pillows and bedding are in great need of replacement!!! We were able to sleep because we were so tired, but really they should really be upgraded. The decor is also quite out of date. With all of that considered, the place was clean and stocked with almost everything you need which cuts way back on the cost of buying hand soap, toilet tissue, paper towels, dish washing tablets, etc. We really appreciated that!!! The pool at the beach with the restaurant and bar was very convenient. There are so many activities to keep everyone busy!! We really enjoyed our stay over all!!! With just a few updates, it would be perfect!!

Condo Review

*5/5 Stars* "We recently stayed at Gulf Highlands Beach Resort in Panama City Beach, FL, and had an amazing experience! Our 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom condo was perfect for our needs. The proximity to the pools and beach access was unbeatable - just a short walk to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. The condo itself was well-equipped with a washer and dryer, dishwasher, and even a gas grill for outdoor cooking. We appreciated the extra amenities and felt right at home. The resort offers an incredible array of amenities, including 11 pools, tennis courts, pickle ball, shuffle board, and a gym. We loved having two parking spots per condo, and the abundance of golf carts made getting around the property a breeze. The condo was extremely clean and well-maintained, with more than enough towels, linens, and kitchen essentials. We were thoroughly impressed with the overall condition and cleanliness. I would highly recommend Gulf Highlands Beach Resort to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and fun beach vacation. We can't wait to come back!"

There is better places to stay look elsewhere

My wife and I arrive at the condo around 6:00 pm only to find the condo in unsatisfactory condition. I tried contacting the owner as she advises you to if there are any issues only to be sent to voicemail. So I left a voicemail, no response. I tried contacting owner again, no response so I emailed her no response. So then the story begins, after driving 8 hour trip to stay at a condos that I have stayed in since I was 4 years old and knew the condition of we had to try and find somewhere to spend the night. Unfortunantly you can't just stay the night at condos as they have a 3 night minimum stay. So after driving around till midnight and calling everywhere we finally got settled for a little bit higher price but what a difference. So we went to bed I woke up next morning and immediately checked my phone for emails and calls none. So I contacted the owner the next morning and was given this story that they had went to bed at 5:30pm??? and that they were just about to call me. So I told them the condo was in need of cleaning, there was a very strong odor in the condo, blood stains on the sheets,and a cockroach in the guest room floor in front of the bed and so I sent pictures to prove my story as requested by the owner, only to be hit with it is your fault for booking with some other condo and that we will get the condo clean asap for you so that you can move back in. Hello that's why the guest before me paid a cleaning fee. So I asked for a refund and was offered a refund for 1 night plus cleaning fee. I guess the owner didn't comprehend that we couldn't wait on her to decide to call me back the next morning and had to book somewhere else we finally got back half the money and was told we would have to take her to court if we wanted any more because she had talked to her husband and their mortgage was due. None of my business but she aired it so I might as well too. Owners are very rude, not understanding,misleading,not responsible and will take your money.

2022 Vacation

The host was easy to get ahold of and the property was very clean. The property is a short walk to the ocean and the pool is also close by. It was very quiet community. The only thing which wasn't a big deal was that their is no t.v. in the smaller room which stinks for the other adult that was in our party and the grill didn't work right out back since a couple of the burners don't work on them. We decided that we would just go out to eat. I am definitely coming back in the future Anna is amazing and very helpful with information and responding.

Perfect Location

This property was in the perfect location, walking distance to the beach. We were close enough to the beach without all the beach traffic. The resort had your choice of 11 pools, a gym, and a beach house right on the beach. We enjoyed the view from the back of the house( psst there is a nice pond). This house had close access to everything; restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. The entrance was technically on middle beach road, but walking distance to front beach rd. Overall great stay, i will definitely be looking this place up to rent again when i return to PCB.

Perfect size for us

The owner was very helpful with everything. We had no problems with anything. The beach side pool house was a really nice amenity that we visited multiple times. It was the perfect size for us 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The only thing we wished was different was having a straight shot across to the street verses walking out and around, but really the walk to the beach was not bad at all. Just a tip - we really struggled finding uber/lyft rides.

About the host

Hosted by Anna Helova

Host profile image
We live in Birmingham, Alabama, and we purchased the townhouse in 2010. We love the outdoors and we don’t pass on any opportunity for sport, travel, relaxation, and family time. We have been coming to Florida and traveled along Gulf Coast for decades. We kept coming back so often at any time of the year that we eventually decided to buy our own beach house. We put our heart and soul into the remodeling of this condo and we hope you will enjoy it just as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Panama City Beach is NEW & IMPROVED. It has something for everybody-- beach, sport, golfing, relax, restaurants, shopping, clubs, zoo, aquarium, cruises, museums, etc. Gulf Highlands is a family resort with many amenities (tennis, mini-golf, shuffleboard, 11 pools, private Beach Club, Wi-fi) and activities right on site at no additional charge. It is centrally located in the heart of PCB and right across the street from the beach.

What makes this property unique

It’s a home away from home. Our condo is furnished with WIFI (speed and reliability tested by my teenagers), two SMART TVs, cable, sport and beach equipment, comfortable beds, new linens, towels, covers, pillows, and new appliances. It has two bedrooms, a balcony, patio for grilling, beautiful view of a lake and ocean surrounded with typical Florida landscaping. We also offer pack-and-play for the youngest ones. You have many amenities offered at no extra charge and the beach is right across the street. The convenience of pulling up to your front door to your two private parking spots and no elevators to deal with is priceless especially when you pack up your family for vacation. For extra security, Gulf Highlands is in a gated community. When you add it all up you have a whole house at a much better price than in any hotel on the beach.
