Amazing condo with comfortable and inviting decor. Perfect view of the beach and pool, comfortable beds and linens, and had everything we needed for a quick stay away. Nice to have the bunk beds in addition to the extra bed so our kiddos could spread out. Great value! Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean. Loved the decorating. Nice shower. beds were way too saggy. Nice view of the pool and the Gulf. Didn't like having to pay $30 to park for our 2 day stay. We enjoyed our walks on white sand beach and catching the sunset.

About the host

Hosted by Paula and Doug Norris

Host profile image
My husband Doug, my daughter Madison, and I (Paula) love Panama City Beach! Growing up in Georgia my family would come to Panama City Beach every year. So when I met Doug (he grew up in Las Vegas, NV) I had to take him to the world's most beautiful beaches of the gulf of Mexico and he loved it also. He couldn't believe it had white sand and the water is warm from about April thru October. We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We love that the Top of the gulf is right on the ocean. You don't even have to get out of the bed to see the beautiful ocean view! Close to attractions, shopping and our favorite restaurants! The complex is clean and well kept.

What makes this property unique

The Complex is small and family friendly. Its is also walking distance to the major night clubs if you want to go but far enough away if you don't. It has common area balconies or you can just open your window and enjoy the breeze! Plenty of lounge chairs by the pool and also a kiddie pool.
