Watch the surf and listen to the sound of waves as you sip your coffee or wine. From sun up to sun down, the views don’t stop when you step inside.

GET TO KNOW THE RESORT:
With a variety of fun and amazing shared amenities, Laketown Wharf Resort is THE place to be in Panama City Beach. In addition to swimming pools and hot tubs, there is so much happening at the resort for both kids and adults that you’ll never have to leave. The newly opened 810 Billiards & Bowling offers 16 bowling lanes, billiard tables, sport simulators, Krazy Dart lanes, axe throwing and an arcade. The resort offers a fitness center, putting green, pickle ball court, boardwalk, outdoor grills & gazebo, fountain show with lights choreographed to music, 24-hour security and so much more. With a variety of seasonally open restaurants (tacos, burgers, seafood, breakfast, pizza, milkshakes, sweets & adult beverages), you may even be able to stay onsite for your snacks and meals. Be sure to check out our photos for more about what’s onsite!

A resort fee ($90 plus taxes and fees for 2025 season) is due with each reservation. The additional fee is paid directly to the COA and is in addition to the total fee paid on VRBO. Upon fee payment, parking pass(es) will be available for printing. A resort wristband will be available inside unit for each guest (age 12 & older) which provides access to all resort amenities. NOTE: Resort wristbands must be left inside unit at departure to avoid $100.00 replacement fee for each missing wristband.

Even with 7 elevators, due to the resort’s popularity, expect longer than normal wait times during the busiest times of the day and peak season months of March through September.

There may be times during your stay when a resort amenity is closed for maintenance, enhancements or for other reasons that are out of our control. No refunds will be given if/when this occurs.

Laketown Wharf Resort has video surveillance equipment throughout the property (including around all swimming pools and spas). The equipment is monitored by the resort's Property Patrol team for the safety and security of guests.

WHAT'S NEARBY:
Just a 2 minute walk from the resort lobby, a private gate gets resort guests easy access to the soft sugary white sand and turquoise waters of Panama City Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Just a few blocks further east, you’ll also find public beach access # 33 and # 34 – usually a bit less crowded.

No matter your age, there’s more to the area than the beach. Nearby attractions include water parks, bowling, golf courses / miniature golf, shopping and so much more. From fast food to upscale, you’ll find a variety of nearby dining options. Many can be reached on foot, and others can be reached in 15 minutes or less by car. There’s a Walmart walking distance from the resort and Pier Park, the area’s best known shopping and entertainment district, is about a 15 minute drive.

Before arriving into Panama City Beach, we will provide you with a digital copy of our Welcome Guide filled with information about Sky High Beach Vibes, Laketown Wharf Resort and many of the restaurants and attractions in the surrounding area.

Great Baseball Week

We had a great experience staying Sky High Beach Vibes. The condo was exactly what we wanted, clean and quiet. The view from the balcony is phenomenal! The location was perfect for us (we were there for baseball) with easy access to the beach and plenty to keep everyone entertained. The hosts were excellent communicators and easy to get a hold of. Our only downfall (which is completely beyond their control) was that at least one elevator was down every day of our week long trip. We would definitely stay here again.

Summer 2025 Family Getaway

Our family of 5 had a great time at Sky High Beach Vibes located in Laketown Wharf Resort. The owners of the condo were very proactive and answered questions promptly before and throughout our stay. The kitchen is stocked to the max with anything & everything that you might need when it comes to prepping/cooking meals & storing leftovers. Great view of the ocean and beach from the balcony. Just a short walk to get to the beach. The information binder that the owners provide includes great suggestions for nearby restaurants as well as family friendly activities. Highly recommend this property!!

This property was so nice! The hosts did check ins every day through out trip to ensure everything was going smoothly and was available to answer any questions. The place was clean and decorated beautifully. The kids asked multiple times if we could stay forever. The pools were great but the balcony was our favorite. So many great memories were made here. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Highly recommend 10/10.

Quick getaway

We were celebrating our boys 18th bday and had a wonderful time. Beautiful views from the balcony. The towels and wagon and things were a great plus (we didn’t end up using them but great to have). Only thing I wish was that the condos would allow you to park a golf cart. But overall would stay again! Thank you for allowing us in your home!

About the host

Hosted by Stacy and Scott Broussard

Host profile image
After staying in vacation rentals around the world, we decided it was our turn to purchase a vacation condo that we could share with others. When we are not enjoying the white sand and emerald waters of Panama City Beach, we are either in our Texas home, traveling the US in our RV or off exploring the world. Don't worry, even when we are away we are very quick to respond to all VRBO inquiries!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Florida's Emerald Coast back in 2017 and kept returning. In late 2021, we decided that it was time to search for a vacation condo that we could share with others. We wanted a place with an awesome view that was close to the beach and had great amenities - like a hot tub. We found all that we wanted and more at Laketown Wharf Resort.

What makes this property unique

After spending 2+ months updating our condo, it's got everything anyone could need for an awesome coastal getaway - plus a spectacular view and "private access" to the beach right across the street. For up to 6 people, you get more square footage per person than nearly anyplace else around. Our Welcome Guide will give you plenty of ideas for filling your time inside the resort or in the surrounding area.
