We are regulars to this area. Our first time to stay in John's Condo. We have definitely found a GREAT place to stay. We spend our yearly week on the beach here. I can say yes "On the beach". I can literally throw a rock and hit the water from the balcony. This is a 3rd story Condo with a spectacular view. Yes there are a few steps to the Condo, which is in all the ads for this property, but absolutely worth it. Our vacation experience could not have been better. John is very honest, accomodating, thorough, caring, and a pleasure to deal with. We never actually met, but I feel as though we are friends. We actually did feel "At Home". There was nothing we needed which wasn't there. We visited Destin, Seaside and Panama City while there and all within a short drive. Plenty of parking, safe and secure area, 1st Class accomodations. Lots of great places to eat. The Non-Smoking and No Pets policy was perfect for us cause my grandson has had some issues with asma in the past. The only issue I can think of is Seven days is simply not enough time to stay here. If there is any way you can, Stay longer! You will enjoy!
