Full Balcony Access! 1st Floor Beachfront Glam

The Tipsy Mermaid: 1st Floor Beachfront Luxury at Long Beach Resort
Experience the Emerald Coast without the "High-Rise Hassle."

Welcome to The Tipsy Mermaid, a meticulously curated coastal sanctuary where luxury meets unmatched convenience. As hospitality professionals with over 30 years of experience, we (Roger and Stephanie) have designed this space for travelers who value style, comfort, and seamless vacationing.

THE STAR FEATURE: FIRST-FLOOR CONVENIENCE
Forget the endless elevator waits typical of Panama City Beach high-rises. Located on the elevated 1st floor (2nd level) of Tower 4, our condo offers a rare lifestyle perk:

Park and Walk In: Simply walk up one flight of stairs from your car and you are home.

Pool & Beach Access: You are just steps away from the resort pools and the private gated beach portal.

WALL-TO-WALL GULF VIEWS
The Tipsy Mermaid features signature floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall glass sliders in both the living area and the King Master Suite. Wake up to the rhythmic sound of the waves and watch the sunset without ever leaving your bed.

RECENTLY RENOVATED & STYLISHLY APPOINTED
This isn't your average rental; it’s a "Brand Curator’s" dream.

Master Suite: A plush King-size bed with premium linens and direct balcony access.

Spa-Like Bath: A custom-tiled walk-in shower and high-end modern finishes.

Chef’s Kitchen: Fully equipped with everything you need to whip up a seaside meal, plus a full-sized washer and dryer in-unit for your convenience.

Open Balcony: Our private balcony is 100% open and ready for your enjoyment—perfect for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.

RESORT AMENITIES AT LONG BEACH
Long Beach Resort is a gated community in the heart of PCB, offering:

1,300 feet of private white-sand beach frontage.

Three refreshing resort pools (at least one is seasonally heated).

Three relaxing hot tubs.

New Fitness Center: Guests have full access to the brand-new, world-class gym in Tower 3.

The Hangout: On-site poolside dining for easy lunches and drinks.

RESORT BEAUTIFICATION & SPECIAL "VIP" RATES
Transparency is our priority. Long Beach Resort is currently undergoing a major exterior re-stuccoing and painting project to ensure it remains a premier destination for years to come.

The Good News: Work on our specific balcony is complete, and you have FULL ACCESS to your private outdoor space.

The Value:
Because there may be work crews or noise during business hours (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM) in other areas of the resort, we have significantly reduced our nightly rates. This is a rare opportunity to stay in a luxury, 5-star rated condo at a deep discount. By booking, you are acknowledging this "beautification discount."

HOUSE RULES & 5-STAR STANDARDS
To maintain our high standard of care, please note:

Max Occupancy: 2 Guests.

Strictly Prohibited: No smoking, no pets, and no parties/events.

We can’t wait to host you at Starry Stays! If you have any questions about the resort project or the unit, please reach out. We are here to ensure you have a flawless 5-star experience.

An absolute gem of a find

My husband found The Tipsy Mermaid condo and we instantly booked as we were looking for a “on the beach” spot. This place was clean, modern, and on the first floor ON THE WATER. The booking was easy, the communication was very prompt with the owners and they checked in to make sure are needs were met. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend the week as everything was perfect! They also have two more rentals. We will definitely be holding on to there information and will absolutely book with them again. Thanks for making our stay unforgettable. -W & L

EXCELLENT

You can't beat this 1 bedroom condo. Communication and flexibility with the owner was excellent they checked on us after the area had severe weather and just exceeded our expectations. The location is easy access to everything you need. We walked to Pineapple Willy's every day. If you are wondering about the property. The two smaller pools are heated but the large lagoon pool is not which would probably be fine for most in the summer. We brought our own beach chairs but the unit does have 2. We didn't see an umbrella but that was fine for us. Just be aware that if you want beach service it is about $250 for the week. We had a great time and would definitely rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Garner

Host profile image
Meet Your Hosts: Roger & Stephanie 🥂
"Hospitality isn't just what we do; it’s who we are."

We are Roger and Stephanie Garner, a husband-and-wife team with over 30 years of combined experience in the hospitality, sales, and marketing industries. Our journey in hosting didn't start with a rental property—it started with a genuine love for making people feel at home, whether they are visiting us in our home or joining us for a sunset on the Gulf Coast.

The Starry Stays Philosophy
As a Brand Curator and a Real Estate professional, we don’t believe in "cookie-cutter" rentals. We believe in curated experiences. When we founded Starry Stays, we set out to create vacation homes that we would actually want to stay in—places that balance high-end luxury with the "no-stress" comforts of home.

Why We Love The Tipsy Mermaid
We fell in love with Long Beach Resort because of its rare combination of 1,300 feet of private beach and the incredible convenience of its layout. Being on the first floor was a non-negotiable for us; we wanted our guests to be able to skip the elevators and be on the sand in seconds. We spent months meticulously renovating and decorating the unit to ensure every detail meets a 5-star standard.

Our Commitment to You
When you book with us, you aren’t dealing with a faceless management company. You are communicating directly with us. We take immense pride in:

Transparency: We will always give you the "straight scoop" on resort updates or local events.

Responsiveness: We are just a text or call away to ensure your stay is flawless.

The "Extra Mile": Whether it's providing a curated list of our favorite local PCB "hidden gems" or ensuring the unit is spotless for your arrival, we treat your vacation with the same care we give our own family’s.

When we aren't hosting, you can find us back home in the Louisville area.

We are so excited to share our little piece of paradise with you. Welcome!

— Roger & Stephanie

Why they chose this property

After years of vacationing along the Emerald Coast, we found ourselves never wanting to leave. We spent our drives home dreaming of a place of our own—not just as an escape, but as a sanctuary we could share with others who crave the sugar-white sands and turquoise waters as much as we do.

The moment we discovered Long Beach Resort, we knew we had found it. It wasn't just a condo; it was a front-row seat to paradise. We are so proud to welcome you to our coastal retreat, where you are quite literally steps from the emerald waves. What more could you ask for?

What makes this property unique

🌟 What Makes The Tipsy Mermaid Unique?
While there are many condos in Panama City Beach, very few offer the specific combination of luxury, layout, and "boots-on-the-ground" convenience that you’ll find here.

The "No-Elevator" Luxury: This is a game-changer. Being on the elevated 1st floor (Tower 4) means you can park your car and be inside your condo in seconds. You get the stunning 2nd-story views of the Gulf without ever having to wait for a crowded elevator or haul groceries up 20 floors.

A Curator’s Touch: This isn't your typical "fast-fashion" beach rental. Every piece of furniture and decor has been hand-selected to create a sleek, modern, and "Insta-worthy" environment. The design is intentional—meant to feel like a high-end boutique hotel while maintaining the warmth of a home.

Immersive Gulf Views: Our floor-to-ceiling windows don’t just "show" the beach; they bring it into the room. Because the glass spans wall-to-wall in both the living area and the bedroom, the turquoise water becomes the primary "art" on the walls.

The Ultimate Walkable Location: Once you park, you can truly forget about your car. You are steps from the sand, the resort pools, and local favorites like Pineapple Willy’s.

The "Golden Hour" Balcony: There is nothing quite like sitting on our private, fully-open balcony as the sun dips below the horizon. It’s the perfect, quiet bookend to a day spent on the sugar-white sand.
