About this property

Southwind Condo L-3. Ground floor, Gulf view. Safe, family & budget friendly.

Enjoy the very best family location in Panama City Beach, Florida without breaking the budget when you stay at Southwind Condominium Unit L-3. It is right across from the beach in a highly desirable 1st Floor unit in the best location in the development. Southwind Condominium L-3 is a wonderful getaway for a couple or for a family of 5.
Park in front of your Condo and forget the walk from a parking garage! The Ground floor unit is easy to access for families or older tenants. No waiting on elevators like those stacked in the high-rises!
You’ll enter your beautiful condo with stylish beachy décor directly from your parking spot. Whimsical, colorful and beach-themed, this 1 bedroom, 1 bath condo sleeps 5. It has a Queen bed in the Master bedroom, a pull-out sleeper sofa in the living room and child's bunk in the hallway. Faces the beach, just steps away. No trudging through the complex to get to the beach!
Fully furnished with all you need. All new appliances, quartz counters, cabinets and brightly decorated, new furniture. Washer/Dryer in unit. Community pool, shuffleboard, etc.
You can sit under the fan on the front porch and watch the water or for a real treat step out on the private back patio and enjoy a beverage and relax.
Southwind Condominium Unit L-3 living room is a true oasis for your family. Comfortable furniture includes a leather recliner that is situated to give a great view of the 42” HD Smart TV with Xfinity cable. You also have free, high-speed wireless internet with Wi-Fi within the condo so you can check out websites for area attractions and send photos home to your friends. You’re sure to have a lot of great photos considering all the fun things to do in and around Panama City. You'll enjoy walking across the pure white sand and dipping your toes into the refreshing emerald waters of the gulf which is less than a minute walk from your front door! An outdoor shower is directly in front of the unit so you can wash off the sand as you return from the beach.
You’ll find everything you need to prepare your favorite dishes in the kitchen at Southwind L-3. Just pick up ingredients at one of the local markets (Winn Dixie, 1 mile east and Carousel Specialty Foods 1 mile west) and you’ll be all set. In addition to the new quartz countertops, new refrigerator, stove and microwave you’ll have all you need in serving ware, cookware, and small appliances so you can blend up some margaritas, make coffee, and have toast with your breakfast. And take it easy by putting all those dishes in the new dishwasher and enjoy a cup of coffee on the front porch. There’s a community grilling area on resort grounds in case you want to cook up the fish you’re planning to catch off the Panama City Beach pier or hotdogs and burgers for the kids.
You can serve your group around the dining table for four where you can serve up coffee or set up place settings for any guests that drop by. Afterwards you can take a quick dip in the pool that’s only steps away from your back door!
Your days will be full of fun, and when the sun sets, you’ll be ready to return to Southwind L-3 for a good night’s sleep. Your primary bedroom is just the haven you need with its queen-size bed and 32” Flat Panel TV with Xfinity Cable which is flanked by his and her nightstands, lamps and power strips for those energy hungry devices.
Younger guests will especially love the alcove with the nautical-themed built-in bunk bed with a super-comfy twin bed mattress. By day the plush living room sofa provides plenty of seating, and when it’s time for sleeping the sofa folds out into a roomy queen size sleeper for up to two guests.
The unit has a full bathroom with shower/tub combination and removeable, hand-held shower head. There is an expansive quartz vanity with waterfall faucet, hairdryers, toiletries and plenty of towels. Southwind Condominium Unit L-3 also has an in-house stacked washer and dryer as an extra convenience.
Southwind is 1 mile west of Rt 79 and grocery store/pharmacy/fast food. The unit is at the quieter end of the beach, but Pier Park is 2 miles down the road, where you will find World-Class shopping, restaurants and entertainment: specialty, department stores & big box stores and entertainment for adults and children alike. IMax Theater and Ferris Wheel, Dave & Busters, specialty foods and souvenirs. There are fun restaurants like Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, Pompano Joe's, Dick's Last Resort, Angry Tuna, Back Porch Oyster Bar, Paula Dean's Kitchen, Tootsie's Orchid Lounge and many others.
Whether you spend your days playing on the beach, parasailing, boogie boarding, beachcombing, fishing, shopping or exploring, every day you spend at Southwind Condominium Unit L-3 will be full of pleasure and the making of wonderful memories.
Beautiful, turquoise, emerald green and aqua blue water is our main attraction, and you are literally steps away from it in this unit, the best location in Southwind! Book your preferred dates to visit the condo today!

Great little condo right across from the beach. Kids loved the provided toys and enjoyed their time there. The pool was clean and we liked that there was an outdoor rinse off station for the never ending sand. The internet was not working so we did not have tv or WiFi but thankfully we were able to keep them busy. The towel animal in the bathroom was a hit with the kiddos as well. Mike was friendly and communicative through our stay. The provided laundry detergent was much appreciated as I forgot to pack ours!

Perfect Weekend

We booked this property for a last minute stay in PCB to visit a friend who lives in the area. We loved the location, it was quiet and low key but still close enough to restaurants and shopping. We sat on the patio and could see and HEAR the ocean. The bed was super comfy. Overall, we would highly recommend and plan to return soon.

Great Beach Condo

Only stayed for 5 days but would have loved to stay longer. Very pleased with the condo. Great location on the first floor directly across the street from the beach. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. We would definitely use this owner and condo again.

Excellent view and location

My stay was absolutely amazing Upon arrival I got the codes for the door and immediately noticed how clean the condo was The pictures of your view from the front porch do not do this place justice and it will take you longer to get your beach stuff together than it will to walk to the ocean Will definitely stay here again

Perfect Location - Easy Access to Beach

Beach Condo

The condo was nice and clean when we checked in. The location is absolutely perfect with a view right out the front window of the beach. The front porch was nice to sit on in the high top Adirondack chairs and view the beach early in the morning and evenings. The place was spacious enough for my family of 5 and one extra with one air mattress. I met Mike the owner who came to check the cleanliness of the room prior to check in. He was very nice and we had a great conversation. I recommend staying here.

Fabulous!!!

This was one of the best vacations! The property is in a great location with easy access to the beach and near lots of activities and food! Parking was easy and safe! We really appreciated all the extras on the property. From the front or back patio, wonderful kitchen, laundry in the unit and comfortable-just like home- living space, this property provided everyone in our family the comforts of home. Many thanks to Mike for checking in and suggesting activities and restaurants! He was a fabulous host!!! We plan to return next year!!!

Spring Break Getaway 2023 🌴

Really enjoyed the condo. Was everything that it appeared to be online. Owner was very nice and professional. People from other condos were complaining that their unit was still in the 1970’s. Not this unit it was decorated very nice and was fully stocked. Really all you need to bring is yourself and your clothes. Would definitely recommend this place. ☀️😎🏖️🌴
