This is probably the sixth or seventh time we have stayed with Beth. It is by far our favorite place to stay in Pcb. We love the huge balcony and quiet beach. The walk to the ocean is short and u can just leave your beach gear in the car. They are spot on responsive to anything u might need. We have had family trips, couples trips and girls trips here and never been disappointed. If they ever sell I could be first in line. Just love this place and the hosts.

The room itself, balcony, and pool was top notch. We were a little disappointed though we were not able to check in a little early just to drop bags off then leave. But the worst thing overall was the lack of toilet paper. Each bathroom had a half roll, when those ran out we were buying our own from Winn-Dixie. Overall we would stay there again but would hope for improvements to be made.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 November 2025
Thanks you for your review Waylen. I am so sorry that you could not check in early. Normally this is not a problem, but we were actually staying there and our plane did not go out until later in the afternoon. We were completing some needed maintenance. The cleaning lady was rushed as it was to get things ready for you, hence the reason she probably forgot to leave extra toilet paper. I am glad that you enjoyed the unit, the pool and balcony, and I look forward to hosting you again soon! Beth

Great Spot in PCB

We had a great stay at Aquavista. We liked the fact there are not as many units/floors so waiting for an elevator was never an issue. The property is in a good location with a grocery store, pharmacy, and a seafood market all close by. The condo was stocked with everything we needed and communication with the owner was very easy. We definitely enjoyed our time in PCB.

Our 3 generation family (ages 1-72) spent 5 days here and enjoyed them immensely. We spent many comfortable hours on the large deck facing the beach.

Breathtaking views from every angle

The condo was very spacious, nicely decorated and the location was perfect. Breathtaking views of the ocean from every angle. The beach was never crowded and the condo being on the 2nd floor meant no waiting for elevators although there is one if needed. Communication with the hosts was great and they always responded very quickly to any questions. We would definitely like to stay again next year in this lovely condo.

Family Beach Vacarion

Great location and quieter area in Panama City Beach! We wanted a place with a pool, balcony with ocean view and enough bedrooms for 2 adults and kids. This place checked all the boxes. It would benefit from some updates to the patio doors, and extras like trash bags, dish towels, etc. be provided as most people don’t want to buy a whole pack for a week, or less (read the list of what’s provided before you go). Overall our stay was great, location was just what we wanted, and the view can’t be beat!

Perfect beach location

This condo was perfect for our family of 3 teen/young adults. Great view and deck and had everything you will need. We love staying at Aquavista. The beach is not crowded and close to good restaurants and the Winn Dixie. There is road construction right outside the condo and they are working on the exterior of Aquavista now but it did not cause any problems.

The location is awesome as well as the beach view. The cleanliness was horrible. My 2 year old grand daughter and daughter-n-Law was in the condo barefoot for just a couple hours upon arrival as we settled in and their feet were black due to the tile being filthy. Not sure whom they are using to clean but I would be making a change asap. We overlooked, we will not return to this condo in the future.

Sandy, so sorry you were unhappy with the cleaning of the unit. My guest's satisfaction is of the utmost importance to me. If you had let me know, I would have been happy to send the cleaning lady over again to make it right. We did have some service people in the unit in the days before your arrival. That was after the cleaning. Perhaps that is how some of the dirt was tracked into the unit. I hope that you enjoyed your vacation with your family regardless.

Weber Family Summer 2024

Another summer vacation in the books! We traveled down from Illinois with a couple of other families staying in Aqua Vista and other places. In all there were 20+people. This condo was absolutely spectacular. We texted with the owners upon arrival with a couple of housekeeping inquiries and they followed through with instructions immediately. The views, beach access, and accommodations were wonderful. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone.

We arrived and the unit had not been cleaned. The owner was very accommodating with this issue and responded very quickly. The unit was very nice and loved loved the large deck.

About the host

Hosted by Beth and Shawn Egan

Host profile image
We bought in 2019. We are from St. Louis. Love to be there when we can with our kids, grandkids and friends. Love to share our home with others when we can. It's my happy place and I hope it becomes your happy place too!

Why they chose this property

Sandy Side Up is our family's vacation home. The name of the unit is tied to someone very special to us. Sandy's love for the beach, card games, vacations and relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine reminds us of why we come to Panama City Beach. The soft white sand, the teal blue water and the amazing sunsets keep us coming back year after year!

What makes this property unique

We love that this is an end unit in a low rise building that is flanked by townhomes on both sides. No high rise chaos for us. Plenty of room on the beach here for everyone. We also really love the big extended balcony! The views at sunset are the best! Also love having the grocery store and restaurants across the street. We are located 1 mile west of Pier Park. Plenty to do always! Really enjoy being on our balcony and seeing the fireworks go off at the Pier on special occasions.
