About this property

Bikini Bottom at Laketown Wharf 501 | Wraparound Balcony with Ocean Views, Gym, Parking Onsite

Welcome to Bikini Bottom at Laketown Wharf 501!

HUGE WRAPAROUND BALCONY • GULF + LAKE VIEWS • 5TH FLOOR • 3BR/3BA • SLEEPS 10 • EASY BEACH ACCESS

Welcome to Bikini Bottom, a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom condo at Laketown Wharf featuring an incredible wraparound balcony with beautiful Gulf views, a convenient 5th-floor location, and plenty of room for families and groups of up to 10 guests.

THE WRAPAROUND BALCONY
One of the best features of Unit 501 is its expansive, furnished wraparound balcony overlooking the Gulf. Unlike a standard condo balcony, this one wraps around the unit and can be accessed directly from the primary king bedroom, living room, kitchen area, and one of the guest bedrooms.

Enjoy your morning coffee with a Gulf breeze, relax outside after a day at the beach, or gather together in the evening with plenty of outdoor space for the whole family.

And the views aren`t limited to the Gulf - lake views can also be enjoyed from the guest bedroom window, giving the condo beautiful views in both directions.

CONVENIENT 5TH-FLOOR LOCATION
The 5th floor offers a great combination of views and convenience - high enough for beautiful Gulf views without being dozens of floors above the resort.

Families will especially appreciate being just one floor above the 4th-floor kiddie pool and fitness center. The balcony also overlooks the kiddie pool area below, making Unit 501 particularly convenient for families traveling with children.

EASY, WAGON-FRIENDLY BEACH ACCESS
Getting to the beach with kids, coolers, chairs and a wagon can be one of the hardest parts of a beach vacation.

In addition to Laketown Wharf`s main beach access near Pineapple Willy`s, guests can conveniently use Public Beach Access 34, located just across from the South Tower parking garage.

This step-free, wagon-friendly route provides easy access to the sand and leads to a stretch of beach that is typically less congested than the main access near Pineapple Willy`s.

SPACIOUS 3BR/3BA – SLEEPS 10
With 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a twin bunk nook and sleeper sofa, Bikini Bottom comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests, making it a great choice for families, multiple couples or groups traveling together.

The Gulf-view primary suite features a king-size bed, TV, private en-suite bathroom and direct access to the wraparound balcony. The spacious primary bathroom includes a double vanity, garden tub and separate walk-in shower.

Two additional bedrooms feature queen-size beds, with one offering direct access to the wraparound balcony and another offering beautiful lake views from the window.

• Primary Bedroom: King Bed (2 guests)
• Bedroom 2: Queen Bed (2 guests)
• Bedroom 3: Queen Bed (2 guests)
• Bunk Nook: Twin-over-Twin Bunks (2 guests)
• Living Room: Sleeper Sofa (2 guests)

THOUGHTFULLY UPDATED & REFRESHED

Home away from home

We stay here at least once per year and love everything about it. Tons of space, very comfortable, and amazing location. Watching people take pics of the same view we had from our balcony each day should make you feel great about what to expect from Bikini Bottom. Highly recommend!

We were disappointed that the master bedroom did not have a closet. We would’ve liked to have hung our clothes up but managed to hang them up in the bathroom. A clothes rack was offered but we declined after making do with hanging in the bathroom. A caserole dish was left very dirty and the host did offer for it to be cleaned but I Had already washed it. Nothing too major. Overall our stay was good.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you had an overall good stay. We understand that not having a traditional closet in the master bedroom can be less convenient, which is why our team offered to provide a clothing rack during your stay. We also apologize that the casserole dish was not properly cleaned prior to your arrival. This has since been addressed with our housekeeping team to prevent it from being overlooked in the future. We appreciate your understanding and are glad neither concern significantly impacted your stay. We hope to welcome you back to PCB!

Comments about my stay

I will say that i enjoyed my stay , however there were some things that i would have changed. First, the room was not properly cleaned. There was a dirty towel left on the back of the first bedroom as well as children's drink cups under the television console in the living room. The bathroom in the hallway had rings around the toilet and bath. The lock for the patio was broken, however maintenance came quickly to fix Overall the stay was good, but for the price we paid i would expect the unit to be more clean.

LONG walk, but nice place

This was a nice condo, but a couple of things to note. I had three elderly (75+) women with me and it was quite a walk to our condo from the check in lobby, and quite a walk to the private beach access. There are only two elevators and you will be waiting a while. The king suite balcony access door did not work. The ice maker/water did not work in the fridge door. The beds are VERY high making it nearly impossible for an 83yo 4'11" woman to get into bed. Other than that, it was nice. Would be great for a young family.

4/10 Poor

2 Star Bad Stay

This was the first time we booked a room to stay at the wharf and it wasn't at all what we expected with how much we paid. As soon as we arrived and unloaded our luggage the elevator in the parking deck didn't work so we either had to carry our luggage up flights of stairs or load it back in our vehicle and go to another parking deck and walk a long ways to our room. The room was ok but could have been cleaner. The pans to cook with were in awful shape and you couldn't even cook in them without it sticking. There wasn't enough cookware to even cook for a family of 10. The A/C unit wasn't working good and with the thermostat set at 68 it was still 87-90 degrees in the room. The sliding glass doors wouldn't lock sometimes. The trash shutes were always full and we seen several roaches around them. One of the bathrooms toilet would get stooped up and need plunged. The elevators were a nightmare trying to get to and from the beach. Most times it was a 15-29 minute wait to get on the elevator. For this to be such a big hotel they definitely need to get better elevators and add some more elevators. It was a very tired and exhausting trip having to deal with all the issues. We will NOT be staying here again.
