The hot tub could have been hotter. It got chilly in the evenings and it would have been perfect. The room was absolutely perfect, everything you need. The staff on the grounds were amazing. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Its in a great location. Tiki josh that does the chair service is fantastic. You definitely wont regret booking here!
The condo was perfect for our family! The kids loved the pool and the beach chairs were an added bonus! Lots of dining options within walking distance!
Had a great time at Oceanfront location. Krystal was an excellent host. Best parts were the view, huge balcony to hang out on, heated pool and the beach being 30 steps away. Would highly recommend and stay again.
Everthing was very nice and clean. Location was great we were able to walk to alot of things. Host was a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely stay here again

Thank you so kindly for a great review! I look forward to hosting you all again!
This condo was great!!! Perfect for two moms and two teenage girls for Spring Break!!! Loved being able to do an early check in, super convenient. The elevators were wonky and went out a couple times-but at least one always worked and that wasn’t the fault of the owner. I would like to suggest extra blankets/throw blankets would be a great addition. I looked but just found the stuff for the sofa bed that said do not use so I didn’t lol. Also, the wagon to get our stuff was nice-found it After we were in the room lol but carts for check in/check out would be nice to have-just a suggestion. Would def stay again. Beach service guy was great and loved the location.

Hi there,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so glad you all had a great Spring Break and that the condo was a perfect fit for your group. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the early check-in, beach service, and location, those are some of our favorite parts too!
We appreciate your understanding regarding the elevators. They are being fully upgraded, and thankfully the resort is not typically high-traffic, which helps minimize delays.
Thank you as well for your helpful suggestions! We did have an extra blanket and pillow available, and I’ve now removed the “do not use” note to make that clearer for future guests. We also appreciate your feedback regarding carts..we will certainly pass that along.
We’re so happy you’d stay with us again and would love to host you in the future!
Safe travels and thank you again,
Krystal & Tad Pruett

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Ocean reef, was very nice, but between host and cleaning service, they took more money from our account, said we broke contract by bringing pets in, but this is so false, we do have pets, but where in boarding, the cleaner found a few dog hairs that came from our items we brought with us, hairs in tub from a bread, explained to them still had a extra charge. There was no extra cleaning, we had a fire alarm that sounded for 2 nights and a stopped up dryer vent, those 2 could have ended badly, I would stay at ocean reef again but not from this host or vrbo

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear you enjoyed Ocean Reef; however, we would like to clarify several statements made in your review.
Regarding the additional cleaning charge, our housekeeping company documents each cleaning with time and date-stamped photographs before and after every turnover. This is their standard procedure and is used to document the condition of the unit. Following your departure, the cleaner reported and documented evidence that resulted in additional cleaning charges being assessed to us, which were then passed along accordingly.
Regarding the smoke alarm, we were first notified after your second night of stay that it was intermittently beeping. Upon receiving that information, we immediately arranged for someone to come replace the batteries. During our communication, you indicated that you preferred to replace the batteries yourself. Regardless, we addressed the issue as soon as it was reported to us.
As for the dryer vent concern, Ocean Reef and individual owners are required to comply with annual fire safety inspections and maintenance requirements. Our dryer vent cleaning and inspection were completed on October 24, 2025, in accordance with those requirements. Regular vent maintenance is an important safety measure, particularly in large condominium buildings, and all required inspections were current at the time of your stay.
We strive to provide a safe, clean, and enjoyable experience for every guest and take all concerns ser
January & February at the beach and it was perfect. Amazing views and great location. Hosts were great to work with. Already looking forward to visiting PCB again!

This was one of the BEST vacations, The Condo was just how it was advertised. This is the first time I have been to Florida on Vacation and did not have any issues checking on or during the stay.
This is a gorgeous beach theme condo that provides room to relax inside and out. It is close to the elevator and beach and pool and has all the amenities you need to feel at home. Krystal and her staff have created a gem of a place for a vacation for friends and family alike. I would definitely return and suggest it for others.
First time staying at the Ocean Reef. Everything was pretty much what the listing said. We just wished we could of stayed longer. The Fourth of July fireworks were awesome and had a great view.
We were very happy with our room, and with the property overall. If you plan to do a lot of cooking, the kitchen could be a little better stocked. We were very happy that the room included two chairs on the beach. The view in the evenings was stunning. Overall we were very happy and would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. There are cooking pans under the stove. Please be aware that all of our units are fully stocked every year and unfortunately items tend to disappear throughout the year, leaving us to restock during "off season". We aim to keep our guests happy and well prepared. Please feel free to always communicate with me if anything is ever needed and I can have it brought to your condo or advise where an item may be in the unit! Thanks again!
Krystal and her husband were great to communicate with. Answered any questions we had in a timely manner. Balcony was one of the largest balcony's i've had in panama city, well furnished. Just an absolute to joy to stay in. Will definitely be using Krystal again!!!

Thank you Gaylon! You were a delight to host, please visit with us again in the future!
This property was perfect for our family, 2 adults 3 children (8 yrs, 6yrs, 3yrs) . We had plenty of space and loved the big balcony. Access to the beach was great and we were able to set up our beach tent along with the 2 free chairs and umbrella. The beach never felt too crowded and perfect for our kids. The building was having some issues with the elevators so at times we had to wait a while to get on one, hopefully that will be addressed. The property was clean, spacious, and exactly like the photos. We were in a great area, walking distance to many restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear the condo was a great fit for your family and that you had plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful balcony and beach. It’s wonderful knowing the setup was ideal for your little ones and that you took full advantage of the beach access and complimentary chairs. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the elevator delays—building management is aware and working toward improvements. We’re so glad you found everything clean, as pictured, and in a great location. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Communication with the owner was great and the unit was just as listed on VRBO. Several places to eat and shop are just a short walk away. Beds were very comfortable. The only thing I would suggest would be some more comfortable balcony furniture. It worked for us but having an extra lounger and a couple of extra chairs with padding for the table would have been a plus. Overall it was a great place to stay.
The condominium was great except for master bed memory form mattress not good. Elevator was tore up had to walk up n down stairs

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that parts of your stay didn’t meet your expectations.
Regarding the elevator, I completely understand how frustrating it can be when building amenities aren't fully operational. Unfortunately, one of the three elevators experienced an unexpected outage during your stay, which is something managed by the building’s HOA and out of my control. Parts were ordered promptly, and the remaining two elevators continued to operate. I did my best to stay informed and keep guests updated.
As for the mattress, I understand that comfort is a very personal preference. While many guests have found it comfortable, I recognize that it may not be ideal for everyone. I always appreciate this kind of feedback, as it helps me continue improving the space for future guests.
I do want to gently mention that reviews carry a lot of weight for small owners like myself. I genuinely care about the guest experience and always encourage guests to reach out during their stay so I have the opportunity to make things right. It’s disheartening to hear about concerns after the fact, especially when a solution may have been possible in the moment.
I wish you all the best in your future travels, and I truly thank you again for choosing to stay.
We were excited to find this place on VRBO!! We were arriving early so we texted Krystal and asked if it was okay to check in early and she said sure! That certainly helped as it had been a long drive!! The condo was beautiful and welcoming! It was spacious and well furnished! The view from the balcony is second to none! Krystal responded quickly to any questions I had. Just the kind of property owner you want when you are on vacation!! We loved the place and have intentions of visiting with Krystal again!!

This past week was truly a fantastic time, And it was long overdue. Originally, I'd planned to attend the Seabreeze Jazz Festival the year of my sixtieth birthday, but COVID struck, and everything shut down, and I was left to wave from the window of my home. Well, four years later, all systems were going! and I had the vacation of my dreams. The condo accommodations were beautiful! I couldn't have hoped for better. The view was amazing. Every moment was super, and I'd choose to come here year after year!

About the host
Hosted by Krystal Pruett
We’re a family from the Southeast who has loved visiting Panama City Beach for years. Hosting gives us the opportunity to share our favorite place with others while helping create lasting beach memories. We’ve designed Unit 708 to feel like a true home-away-from-home, with all the comfort, charm, and little extras we enjoy when we travel.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location on the peaceful west end of Panama City Beach because it offers the best of both worlds—tranquility and convenience. The beach here is wide, clean, and uncrowded, even during peak season. It’s perfect for families, morning walks, and watching stunning sunsets. Plus, you’re just minutes from Pier Park, great restaurants, go-karts, mini golf, and shopping. Everything you need is close by, yet you still feel tucked away in your own coastal escap
What makes this property unique
Unit 708 stands out for its unbeatable location between both piers, making it one of the best spots in the area to watch July 4th and New Year’s fireworks—right from the balcony! With updated furnishings, a large layout, and thoughtful touches like beach gear and smart TVs, it’s designed for families and couples who want both comfort and unforgettable views.
