Good stay

We had a great trip the only hiccup was we were given the wrong color parking passes at check-in and our vehicles got notices on them. We went to the office and picked up the correct ones, so everything ended up being fine.

PERFECT CONDO!!!!!!!

My best friend and I take an annual beach trip each year and this year we decided on Panama City Beach FL. Two words on this condo and the beach, FREAKING PERFECT. The condo is situated between the two piers that are in Panama City, so this area is NOT as congested as the areas right around the piers. We were right in the middle of them both. Next door to the Fontaine Blue and Runaway Island restaurant. Again, PERFECT. We had several choices of places to eat within walking distance and loved Runaway and Sharkey's MOST. Back to the condo, clean, so SO ROOMY, great view of the beach and the sunset off the balcony was beautiful. First afternoon we saw a pod of dolphins and a family of manta ray's swimming! Balcony was amazing for morning coffee or late night chats and drinks. Both bedrooms were just right with being enough room for two people. The adjoining bathrooms were an additional perk, although one had access from the main living area, it was still private enough! There is a wagon, chairs, etc for guests to use. THAT WAGON made our trek to the beach each day extremely easy! Correspondence with the owners was seamless and prompt. AMAZINGLY EASY check-in(no contact with a check in desk-FOR THE WIN) and all in all this was by far the best condo we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. STAYING HERE just what a no stress vacation is all about. Beds were super comfy and roomy. Pillows were soft but firm. No issues with bugs, stains or smells. PICK HERE!!!!!

Relaxing Family Vacation Spot

Looking for a relaxing family vacation? This was the right place to be. The condo was very comfortable and nicely stocked. (There is a reusable coffee filter - so no need to purchase filters). There was also plenty of pots and pans. The condo also came with beach chairs and a wagon- which was very helpful since it’s located in the 21st floor. Great views of the ocean!! We couldn’t keep my mom off the balcony. The owners were very responsive to all our questions and responded very quickly. Our only hiccup was the elevators at Ocean Reef. Plan for wait times on “check-in” day. There is a outdoor pool and hot tub- plus an indoor pool. All well kept. The beach was not as crowded in this section which was very nice. There were plenty of activities and restaurants within walking distance and Pier Park was a 7 min drive away.

There are not enough superlatives to describe this condo... The bedrooms are large with Queen beds... The kitchen is well stocked... The view is breathtaking! The people are wonderful! The location is great! It's close to Pier Park and some of the best seafood in Florida! And the owners are great to work and communicate with... I wholeheartedly recommend this property!!!

Ok condo

The good, the huge balcony and the view, and location and the beach chairs that are there to use. The not so good, condo is in major need of upgrading, the furniture, couches and chair are wore out, the bed in master bedroom is held up by wood blocks and a jack. Upon arrival we checked sheets on both beds and the master bed had white sheets with yellow stains all over them, owner did arranged for someone to bring a new set of sheets, the comforter on master bed smelled like a wet dog, so cleaning lady came and picked it up, luckily we had brought a couple blankets with us. Bathroom washcloths and towels were old dingy and smelled sour, my wife washed several times to get the sour smell out,and definitely not enough bathroom towels and washcloths for showering and we only had 4 people in condo. Had to wash daily to have clean washcloths and towels. Shower curtain had mold around bottom of it. It’s just seems to me that when paying good money to rent a condo for a week that it would be in better shape and wouldn’t be so In need of upgrading(furniture) couches, chairs and bed, or beds. I thought for what we paid to rent for a week that the condo itself would be in better shape. Ocean Reef property was clean and nice, the pool and pool area very small, which really didn’t bother us as we spent everyday on the beach.

Very relaxing week!!

Best relaxing week. We really enjoyed our stay. Kathy is an amazing! She is the best host. I felt like there should be luggage carts on each level of the parking deck. But we couldn't find one anywhere. Although, Kathy has a beach buggy in her laundryroom. We noticed it after we took several trips to the car getting our Stuff. It was most useful when we where leaving!!! The livingroom furniture wasn't the most comfortable for me, but I'm goldilocks and princess and the pea all mixed together. ( picky🤣 !!!) If you are looking to get away and relax, this is a great condo.

Stay here for a low key relaxing stay!

Home away from home experience BUT with a much better view! Lol The view from the balcony is amazing and hearing the waves before you fall asleep to hearing them as you wake up, We will stay here again. The decor is nice and the kitchen is fully stocked with essentials to cook with. There were 4 of us, it’s spacious and well laid out. The bathrooms are roomy and clean. (I’m a bathroom snob, I judge a place by the bathroom) As every home there are a few minor things that every home has which should be expected. ONE important thing is the parking garage. It is a tight place and if you are driving a truck bigger than a 1500 you will need to park across the street in the overflow parking. The height and the turns are not for trucks, nor are the parking spaces. We ran into a few owners of the condominiums and they were very nice and great to talk to. The owners of our condo kept in communication with us and that was pleasant as well. We always go through VRBO and Kathy is the 1st owner that we had communication with other than the check-in/check-out emails. Thank you Kathy! Until we return again Jeff and Kathy, Loved your place.
