We found our go-to PCB condo

We have stayed in quite a few Panhandle condos over the years and this one may be the One. Great parking situation and location near the pier. The spaciousness is surprising and views terrific, particularly at the dining table. Management was first rate when we needed some help, thanks Sheryl and Christopher! A lot of boxes checked off and great value.

We loved the view of the gulf. Disappointed the pool is not available and the first weekend of May is Thunder Beach with a motorcycle rally, loud music - all night long. We would go back, but not during that event.

Great condo

The condo was better than the pictures provided in the listing. It is very spacious and comfortable. Being an end unit made it even better. The views were absolutely fabulous. The location was great. Close to everything you could need. There were beach chairs on the balcony which was a huge help. Jet skis for rent right on the beach as well as banana boat rentals. Highly recommended this unit. We can’t wait to go back and stay there again.

The condo was clean and the location was great. However, the exterior of the property needs to be attended to. It is very unlevel, especially on the 4th floor by the elevator area. There are no signs or markings indicating to watch yourstep.

Great view and great location

This was a great unit. Since it was a corner unit, it had a spectacular view. The elevators are somewhat slow, but this place was no worse than any other units I’ve stayed in the area. My only slight complaint is there was no Roku or streaming capability. It wasn’t advertised as having it, but this is the first unit I’ve rented in a while that didn’t have Roku. It did have satellite/cable TV. My only other complaint was there was only 1 extra blanket. I would definitely stay here again. The whole family loved it.
