Reviewer Comments:
Location of the unit is great. 4th floor was great, at least one of the elevators seemed to be down most of the week, so the 4th floor wasn't too bad. This is 2 kings and rest queens. Clean unit and great beach placement.
The view from the condo was fantastic. The condo itself was horrible. It is not just remodel. The dishwasher had mold in it. The floor was not cleaned. The sheets had stains. We bought our own. The parking was horrible. We will not be back to this condo or to Panama City Beach. The people are rude and we got no response about the conditions of the condo. The details need to be updated on VRBO
Our group of 9 had a great stay here. Easy access to the beach, pool and parking (except for the fact there is only 1 space available directly on the property, but extra parking was close enough. Definitely a great week for our family!
The condo was a great location to enjoy the beach and the bike rally. This was a first time to the rally for some of our group. We also had a great view of the air show from our balcony so all was great. This location is also right in the middle so if u enjoy walking lots of things are within a good walking distance to enjoy the scenery and the local businesses.

Nice place, everything it said it was. Elevator was still an issue. Parking was TIGHT. Over all better than i was setting myself up for.
This condo was wonderful, exactly as described. The heated pool was great and the check in process was super simple. We would be thrilled to return.
I was say, after paying $265 from being towed, that the parking in the overflow lot needs some attention. Our parking pass must have blown off the dash and onto the floor. Just make sure to tape it down so you don’t have to end your otherwise great trip on a very sour note 🙂
Our two families had a fabulous fall break at Ocean Ritz 401.
Communication prior to check in was perfect. We had a few questions that were answered quickly.
The property location was good for our needs. Although we like to be closer to Pier Park, this property was close to shopping, restaurants and other attractions.
The views from OR401 were perfect for us and and we liked the lower floor location. Parking was very tight for our two larger vehicles, but we managed.
The property was great for our families. We utilized the very large deck every day from early morning coffee, lunches and through late night hanging out. Inside, the large dining table was great for dinners and family gaming. Every room having it's own bathroom was a great feature and very helpful with getting ready for dinner after long days at the beach or pool.
We did hit a few snags (as you do with any rental), such as a dirty floor, a broken sliding door lock, broken dresser drawers and a non-working safe, but none of these ruined our stay one bit. The property was fabulous and we would not hesitate to return.
The condo is nice and in a wonderful location. An adorable coffee shop across the street and close to gas stations, Walmart and of course the beach. BUT whoever cleans it really needs to step up their game. It needs a deep clean. We had sand in our bed sheets upon arrival which really grossed me out from the get go. Sand also on floors and in bathrooms. Balcony floor is filth and we had to wear shoes the whole time inside. Went two days without WiFi bc the router was bad (they did replace it), we couldn’t watch any Netflix/hulu/etc. we did without but with little ones this became a struggle. If I were the owner, I would be very disappointed that I was even paying someone to clean because it is not properly done at all. The extra pillows/comforters provided need replaced in a bad way as they have yellow and brown stains all over them and if not, then please provide them with pillow cases. Communication with property manager was great, location was perfect but the cleanliness was very disappointing.

Newly renovated but still needs work
This property is newly renovated, but it still had some work to be done. The handle on a dresser was falling off, one of the closet doors was off the slider but it was still left hanging in the middle of the room, one of the doors was broken (looked like someone kicked the door or hit it). There were what looked like rust spots in some of the showers and tiles on the floor. The fridge is very close to the wall, so the door cannot open up all the way. The towels and linens from the previous week were left outside the front door for the whole week. There are no rugs or carpet in the condo, so it was so hard to get rid of sand eve after sweeping and vacuuming multiple times a day. The parking is a bit of a mess on checkin day like the other reviews stated, but after the first initial rush on Saturday with everyone checking in at the same time, it wasn’t as bad as we expected. The parking spot for this unit is in a nice location compared to some of the other spots at the condos. This condo is located in a very busy part of town, so traffic can be a lot at times. One of the most frustrating things all week, that didn't pertain to the actual condo, was trying to figure out where to put our tent for the beach. There are 2 rows of chairs in front of the high rise that have been purchased buy the building apparently. There are signs on the beach that state tents need to be in designated areas, but no actual signs staying where the designated area is. They expected you to know that tents could not be in front of the chairs and umbrellas. So we had to move our tents multiple times because we would set up where we were told we could and then would be told we were in the wrong area again. So it may help to give some info at check in or in an email about where to put tents if you bring them so you aren’t moving your tents and losing your good beach spots.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful time and the room set up was perfect for our large family. However, some things were not so perfect. For instance the cookware was terrible, the beds were terrible, the cleanliness was terrible, the dishwasher had black mildew and gunk ALL in it! The oven took forever to cook, and the outside gas grills would not stay lit. Parking was a nightmare for the extra guest who had to hope to find a parking place across the street. With a 4 bedroom condo you would think you would be allowed more than 1 parking spot. However over all it was a good location and a good place to stay. If I was to recommend this property to my friends I’d have to tell them all these complaints first.
The condo was in a great location and we liked the fourth floor we stayed on but there was some cleanliness issues. First thing we noticed was stained comforters. I had to go purchase a new comforter for my bed just to feel ok to sleep in the bed, I hadn’t planned on that expense but now I have an extra comforter. Then, my husband pointed out how moldy/mildew our shower curtain liner was. We checked and all the showers had the same look. We purchased new shower liners for all of them so we could take a clean shower. After our first breakfast we realized we needed a new pan, the one there was chipping on the bottom and wasn’t safe to cook in. So again, another added purchase we hadn’t planned on. After a couple days there the exterminator showed up and sprayed around in the bathrooms, we weren’t aware he would be coming by. After he was gone the next day we spotted a roach in one of the bathrooms and the day after that another roach in a second bathroom, both still alive. The pillows were flat so we had to go buy new pillows to sleep on as well, now we have extra pillows for our home.
We had a great week weather wise but these little things added up to make us realize this is why we choose renting a house for our family on beach vacations instead of worn out condos….

The condo was filthy, the refrigerator door fell off on my 11year old and none of the tvs worked. The beds were all horrible as well. It’s in a great location but that’s the only thing going for it

Fun Was Had but Room was bad!
We had a fun time because we can always make a bad place into a fun place. The condo was not clean. Sand on the floors and even in our sheets. All of the beds in bedrooms had horrible mattresses and worn out. You would sink into the holes. The bed comforter had some type of rust on it, one of the gulf front rooms curtains were broken and had to use hair clips to keep them closed. The ironing board would not even stand up. If you use the oven be aware you can’t open the oven door and expect it to stay down. I mashed my hand several times. There was mold on the door seals. None of the tv’s in any of the bedrooms worked. The only TV you could watch was in the living room and there was not enough seating in there for everyone to sit. The balcony was nice and had plenty of room. I love coming to PCB and usually come twice per year but would not recommend this unit. The Emerald Coast Destinations people were very nice but we never got an ironing board the we were told would be replaced. They offered to have a cleaning service come but who wants bothered by that when you’re trying to vacation. Also nothing would stay plugged in the electrical outlets because they were to large

Reviewer Comments:
Condos are never super clean at the beach but this one is gross! You can smell the mildew smell first thing when you open the door. The living room rug will also testify to how grimy this room is. The sofa has a slimy film &a sour smell. The drapes & soft furnishings are stained worn & tattered. The master bed has a huge dip in the center & the guest bed squeaks so bad it is impossible to sleep on. The fridge doesn’t fit the cut out so the door doesn’t open far enough to get larger items in & it doesn’t shut well so your food can get ruined easily. The freezer leaks a slippery puddle of water into the floor a few times a day which per other guests we met who had stayed in this room previously this has been an issue for years. Which was cause for a mold & air quality concern based on the smell & filthy return vent. Being just a few floors up from the pool deck means you won’t be able to enjoy the balcony in the PM when people have profane music blaring. You’ll still be able to hear it even in the room & you won’t find anyone who will be able/ willing to enforce the noise ordinance. We called every number we could but nothing helped, and in the AM you’ll get to wake up to the sound of the blowers as they clean the pool deck. The parking spot is not covered which can be a good thing or a bad thing if it’s raining. It’s not likely that you’ll get a spot in the tiny overflow lot & public parking was $12. But the MOST FRUSTRATING thing was that there are no available channels on the TVs & other than the living room they aren’t smart TVs so you can’t even stream your own accounts. So you will NOT be able to watch TV in your room. It’s like a terrible prank. So Be warned!!
We had to wear our shoes in the Condo until we bought floor cleaner and mopped the entire space. Furniture needed steam cleaning and Table needs to be replaced. The Balcony was awesome but also very dirty, floors furniture and railing. HVAC was not working when we arrived. DX coil was frozen up due to clogged filter and coil. We cleaned the unit after it thawed. Luckily there was a new replacement filter and two in our party are HVAC guys. It began cooling the space and continued to do so while we were there after cleaning. I understand that the owners can’t always be there to see that regular maintenance and cleaning is being done, I’m pretty sure they’re paying for it. We had a great time and not discouraging anyone from staying here. I’m saying the maintenance and cleaning is subpar at best.

Reviewer Comments:
Had to wait over 3 hours to het into our condo due to they key pad broken. Had to argue with the property owners and manager company that it was broken. They finally sent a maintenance person who stated that the key pad had been giving them problems for weeks and it had not been fixed. They “changed” the entry code for is. Which appears to have been a default code to the entire building because someone in our party got off the elevator on the floor below is and went into the wrong room using that code. Be prepared to pay excessive fees.. parking garage is super small, oh but there is a overflow parking lot across the road... that only parks maybe 10 vehicles.. so someone more than likely is going to have to pay to park in the public parking for the week. Attempted multiple times to speak to the property owner on the phone but they refused to talk to me in any other form than via email. Condo was ok but the service getting into the room die ti the broken key pad was uncalled for. And then they acted like i was the bad guy when i wanted repaid for the 3.5 hours my family had to stand in the hallway waiting to get this issue fixed. (An issue they knew they already had).. did i mention we had to stand there with over 400.00 in groceries in the hall way.. waiting while we convinced them that the key pad was broken.... The did agree to pay me back 45.00 for my troubles tho! Wahoo.. havent seen it yet tho....

Reviewer Comments:
The rental was okay. It needs a lot of work and updating. The handle to the main sliding door on the balcony was broken when we arrived. 3 of the 5 TV’s were not working and were constantly freezing. The bedroom TV’s have very limited channel availability. The fridge was leaking water in the kitchen floor. We had to keep a towel in front of it to avoid slipping. They did come to check the door handle but weren’t able to repair it. Maintenance did fix the TV’s. Multiple times, we came back to the condo to find that the entrance door was cracked open. We noticed the door was not latching well. My 8 year old son just pushed it and it popped open without entering the door code. The parking was not bad at all unless you’re in a large vehicle. Overall, these were all minor inconveniences and we did enjoy the location of the building and the pool area. It is walking distance to a lot of stores and a short driving distance to all of the popular restaurants.

Too expensive for condo conditions.
The space is great but everything is so outdated and it seems everything is about to break to the touch. One of the toilets was completely loose, furniture are broken, tv’s are so outdated and the channel line up so small that we couldn’t watch tv. One of the fans was broken, the refrigerator handle was so loose, the sofas are so dirty, the drawers in the bedroom furniture had crumbs in them, we had to buy new cooking pans to be able to cook, I could go on but it is never ending. Im giving it two stars because of the space, it is great for a big family, otherwise it would have been a one star.
