Fall beach getaway

Property was just what we were looking for. Low floor, plenty of room, and very clean. Host was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Extras like books, beach chairs, and beach towels were in the unit for guest use. Location was great and beach was easy to access from this condo. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience!

Rick was super easy and helpful to work with! We had no problems at all with booking our vacation or getting any of the information needed for our stay. The condo was clean and in good condition when we arrived. The resort offers many amenities. There were a lot of beach chairs and toys in the unit, although we had brought our own. It was nice to know those were available! My 7 year old thought the captains quarters decorations on the top bunk area were wonderful! We very much enjoyed our time here and look forward to coming back!

Rick made our entire rental process so easy. He was readily available with our questions and was very kind and helpful. The condo was immaculate and included everything we needed for our getaway vacation to Panama City. The ocean view was amazing and we has very easy access to the beach.

This unit was super clean and had everything you would need for your stay. Rick was a great host and checked in with us to make sure everything was ok. Perfect location for walking to local places to eat and getting down to the beach was super quick being on the third floor. Appreciated the time that saved! Would definitely come back!

Great location. Beautiful view. Super easy access to both the beach front and street access. Nice, clean, quiet and relaxing place to stay for a getaway. Can walk to food/bars or rent a golf cart to ride the strip. Rick is super easy to get in touch with and makes sure you have everything you need.

Nice Condo - Great Location

This condo was one of the best locations that we have ever stayed at on a beach trip. The condo is large and the kids loved the bunk beds. Rick genuinely cares about your stay at his condo and that makes a big difference. The location of the condo within the resort is fantastic. Very quick access to the beach and pools. The amenities in the resort are great! On certain days/times the resort would have activities/performances for the kids at the pool (neon pool party, air spray tattoos, fire breather, tie dye t-shirts). You are also within walking distance of several shopping plazas and restaurants. We did not get in our car one time during the entire stay. We would stay here again and are already planning a trip again next year.

The Tans May Fade But The Memories Will Last Forever.

This 3rd floor unit at Emerald Beach Resort was perfect for our small family of 3 (2 adults & 16 year old), but could have easily worked for larger family! Rick (owner) was great with communication — before, during and on our way out of PCB. The unit was fully stocked with everything we needed to get our Spring Break started. The location of the unit itself within Emerald Beach is our favorite — very little need for elevators with short walk down couple steps to room. Will definitely be staying at this unit again in the future. #SB23
