✦ March 2025 BRAND NEW ✦ queen sleeper sofa with upgraded memory foam mattress, along with new area rug for your relaxation and enjoyment! Our resort offers gated parking and private gated beach access along with 24-hour security. As a smaller mid-rise resort, we have the advantage of having a quieter beachfront with smaller crowds and no elevator wait times. Our updated and tastefully decorated 1/1 condo can accommodate up to 4 guests with a queen-size bedroom and a queen-size pull-out sofa in the living room. Our private balcony offers unmatched panoramic sunset views of the Gulf of Mexico. Wake up to dolphins playing in the surf while sipping your freshly brewed coffee from our fully stocked coffee station—complete with coffee pods, flavored syrups, creamers, as well as a variety of sugars and sweeteners. Grab our pickle ball paddles and balls from our owner’s storage to play a match on the resort's newly reconstructed courts or sign out a set of our resort's equipment. Shuffleboard equipment is also available to sign out for use on the newly resurfaced shuffleboard court.

Also available for your use in our owner's storage are 2 backpack beach chairs, boogie boards, plenty of sand toys and a small cooler. You can conveniently fill the cooler with ice from the resort's ice vending machine on the ground level by the clubhouse which happens to be less expensive than a bag of ice from Walmart. And leave your beach towels at home! We offer 4 for your use at the beach or one of the 3 pools so you can save room in your luggage for all those PCB souvenirs! The west pool is heated throughout the off season for your enjoyment and each of the resort’s 3 private beach gates is equipped with a mobility mat for beach accessibility for all to enjoy! Our resort also has a well-equipped fitness room with everything you’ll need to maintain your workout routine including a treadmill, exercise bike, recumbent bike, multi-station weight machine, free weights, yoga mats and resistance bands.

We are walking distance (or a short drive) to a plethora of restaurants, bars, shopping and attractions, including Walmart which is incredibly convenient for last minute groceries or other forgotten travel needs. But in truth, you'll find the quiet solitude in the evenings on the balcony the reason you're here and why you'll never want to leave. The million-dollar sunset views offer the ultimate reset/recharge you're looking for.

Please note the following house and HOA rules required to book our property:
1. Primary renter/booker MUST be at least 25 years of age and must be staying in the rental. No 3rd party rentals.
2. The uploaded ID must match the primary renter.
3. A maximum of 4 guests allowed, including children/infants regardless of age.
4. No parties.
5. No pets.
6. No smoking in unit, on balcony or resort walkways. There are designated smoking areas on the ground level.

Wonderful stay

A beautiful room for a small family or couples trip. The room was beautifully done, clean & comfortable. The beach area behind the condo was calm and low-key if you’re looking for a “quieter area”. Most of all we felt safe. Lee was a pleasure to work with and quick with any needs of ours. Would not hesitate to book again.

Little paradise

The place is a little paradise. The owner paid very close attention to all details regarding the interior and things you might need while staying there. The coffee station is a very nice addition for all coffee lovers. The view on the bay is spectacular and don’t worry if you don’t see a sunrise in the winter time. The neighbor window will give you perfect reflection.

Beach Getaway 2024

I can't brag on this property enough or Lee the owner. It was a beautiful condo with the perfect location. Gorgeous ocean views. The property manager was so kind and so helpful and truly thought of everything when setting up this unit. All the little amenities that you might not remember to bring yourself, they thought of it. The condo was very clean and cozy, it made for a wonderful week vacation. We will 1000% be using them again and staying here our next trip back to PCB.

Highly Recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at Joya Del Costa! The location, amenities, and views were perfect. Lee is a fantastic host and made sure to provide any miscellaneous items we might need or want during our stay - from beach items to extra towels. We also loved being able to use the beach chair rentals. Lee was super attentive to any questions we had and was informative both prior to and during our stay. We are already planning a trip to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Lee Rowland

Host profile image
My husband & I have been married over 20 years and have two teenage daughters. We love to travel—from long road trips to worldly adventures on the opposite side of the world. We also appreciate superior hospitality and have always dreamt of one day owning vacation properties to extend our own hospitality to others. Earlier this year we were finally able to officially launch Fresh Air Vacation Rentals with the purchase of our very first vacation property.

Our array of travel experiences has honed our expectations of true hospitality, and we strive to to offer nothing less than best-in-class service. Paying special attention to convenient amenities you won't find in large hotel chains. Our mission is to provide the perfect balance of having all the comforts of home along with the cleanliness, safety and security of a high-end resort. In essence, we want you to feel at home without feeling like you're in someone else's home.

Why they chose this property

We walked into this condo and were blown away with the floor to ceiling views of the Gulf of Mexico from every angle of the living space. The sunsets are unmatched. The newly updated, open living space feels modern and cozy all at once. Sunbird Condominiums is also one-of-a-kind in terms of architecture. Each and every unit was designed to maximize their respective views of the Gulf of Mexico. You won't find another resort like it on the Emerald Coast. We also love that the condo is located in a low-density, mid-rise building so it is much quieter than the larger high-rises and there are no wait times at the elevators, and the resort amenities are all just steps away. Our location allows you the flexibility to choose your own adventure—enjoy a quiet, peaceful beach getaway if you're looking for a private sanctuary, or take advantage of all the fun activities, attractions and night-life Panama City Beach has to offer, many within walking distance. It's the best of both worlds!
