We loved our stay. It’s quiet, clean, easy beach access and the perfect distance from the crowds. The traffic is light and the parking is excellent. Everything was clean and the host was very friendly. We were able to check in early as the cleaning crew was punctual with the check in times.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The condo was very nice and well maintained. We were right across from the private beach and yet a short distance from being in the middle of PCB. It was exactly what we were looking for and we could be happier with our stay and our trip.

Kids first trip to Florida

My kids and I had a blast visiting Florida. The house had everything we needed and had more than enough space for everyone. We couldn't have asked for a better location being so close to the beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Quiet and fantastic

This location is a little bit away from the hustle and bustle of the east side of Panama City Beach but still within easy access. The beach access is so close and you will enjoy the beautiful emerald waters and white sand on an uncrowded beach. The cottage afforded my family of 5 plenty of room with great views.

Found our new beach place

This property was exactly as advertised, clean and well maintained. Any issue we had Terry was quick to respond. Arrival and departure was so easy and laid out. The private beach access across the street was a huge win in the busy season. The property was close to restaurants and easy access to all the sports fields on Hwy 98. Excellent experience and we will definitely be back!

Charming townhouse

This was a great townhome for my family and I. There was 9 of us in the house and we had plenty of room to move around. Having 3 full bathrooms was great too. The location is great too with the house just across the street from the beach. It took us about 20 seconds to before we were standing on the beach. It is also on a very quiet stretch of the beach with no beachside properties for at least half a mile on either side. Felt like we had it to ourselves at times.

Thanks so much. I am so glad you found our town home to be comfortable for your family. We appreciate you spending your vacation at our "Whatever" beach home. Look forward to you spending time with us in the future. Terry

World Series Softball

Our family enjoyed the Condo and the location on the west end of PCB. The Condo was very clean and well stocked with all the amenities that you will ever need. We where also glad we did not have to bring beach chairs and boogie boards down. It was only about a minute walk from the front door to the beach. The beach was so nice and quiet. No one within 100 feet of us at anytime on the beach. Even in July. While we spent the majority of our time at the softball fields, when we came back to the condo, it was nice to be able to walk across the street to get to the beach and relax. Terry was so nice and accommodating with the payment/rental process. We will be back this year again to go the the world series, and yes we will stay at the "Whatever" Town home. I recommend this location for anyone that is looking for quite area near the beach. No crowds ,no traffic, no worries.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 March 2020
Hi I am so glad that you are coming back again this year and chose our beach townhome. It is always difficult to make a choice on accommodations when you are new to an area and have never vacationed at PCB. I think you found what so many others have know for years that Sunnyside on the Gulf is a great family friendly less conjested area but still convenient to attractions, restaurants and shopping. I hope our beach home will be your annual vacation destination for many years to come. Nothing better than "ball" and the "beach". Terry

Great location but needs some desperate TLC

First, the overall location is perfect! Directly across from the beach and certainly on the quieter side of PCB. We checked in right at the designated time and the home had not been cleaned. We reached out to the owner and within an hour or so the cleaning personnel arrived. We were instructed to leave the premises while the house was being cleaned which took about another hour. There was apparently a miscommunication, which we realize things happen but it's just disappointing after a long drive, especially with kiddos, not being able to get settled in right away. The home was very outdated and really needed a deep cleaning. Since it's in such a great location, basic updates to the home (i.e., appliances, furniture, fixtures, decor/artwork) would really make it stand out that much more...it really has great potential!

Thank you for your review which will be taken into consideration. There was a definite miscommunication with the housekeeper about your check in date which I deeply regretted and it was taken care of promptly. Beach time is precious for my guests and I want them to enjoy their stay.

Perfect location!

This property was fantastic! We did hit a little snag when checking in due to the cleaning lady having to take a little longer to make the place perfect for us, but it was not a problem. She did a wonderful job and we appreciated her attention to detail with cleanliness. The location was absolutely perfect for early mornings on the balcony, and a literal minute walk to our beach spot. We appreciated the outdoor shower and water hose that allowed us to clean ourselves off before entering the home without tons of sand. Communication with Teri was on point when the dishwasher needed to be looked at. She responded quickly and it did not impede any part of our stay. The only thing that would be nice, would be having two oven racks, as there is only one. We cooked most nights and it would’ve been a tad bit easier if there had been two racks ti put everything in at once. But it was not a major issue, especially if you don’t plan on cooking a lot. 10/10 would recommend this little gem!
