Convenience - Dedicated covered parking at entrance to unit, steps from beach
Convenience & privacy are main advantages to our townhome (2A4)! You are able to walk directly into your accommodations from the covered dedicated parking outside the unit door . Our 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath townhouse is located in Horizon South which is a gated family oriented complex and not a high rise. A plus to our townhome is that the bedrooms are located upstairs and have doors. We do not have a loft layout but instead a separate upstairs with doors which makes our more spacious in relation to many of the other 2 bedroom units in the complex. Also we have dedicated parking and not many in our complex have that feature as well.
You are not required to walk through any common areas or take any elevators to access our townhome. An awesome additional advantage to a townhouse is there are no guests above or below you so it is quieter and more private. We are located just inside the front gate and close to a pool and the beach.
Our unit has keyless entry for convenience so no need to worry about losing keys. We installed new flooring (LVP) and replaced carpeting for a better experience. On the 1st floor we have a washer dryer. The kitchen has an electric range with an overhead microwave and refrigerator with ice maker. The kitchen is fully stocked with needed items for a beach stay. We just installed brand new appliances (April 2024) The den area is bright light and welcoming with new furnishings including a state of the art queen sleeper sofa with upgraded Serta mattress. The sleeper sofa has a trampoline backing that makes it super comfortable. There is a matching loveseat and chair along with a flat screen TV. There is a half bath for the convenience of your guests. Sliding glass doors open to a private patio. I love sitting out on the patio and enjoying my morning coffee while scanning the news. We recently installed lights for the evening. This is a great area to relax with a cocktail while the kids watch a movie.
On the second floor are the master bedroom suite with a bathroom and 2nd bedroom has an additional bathroom outside the bedroom door. The master has a king sized bed as well as a flat screen TV. The covered balcony off the master has a view of the ocean making it a great place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or a cocktail in the evening. The master has a bathroom with combo shower/tub.
The second bathroom also has a combo shower/tub.
The second bedroom has a flat screen TV and 2 full sized beds with two closets with plenty of room to hang your clothes.
A large deck that can be accessed from either bedroom is a great place for all guests to gather and enjoy the outdoors in a private setting.
Horizon South is a gated community which access to Front and Back Beach Roads convenient to Pier Park, lots of awesome restaurants, the Pier, and Frank Brown Park. The complex has lots of amenities including 4 pools, a kiddie pool, hot tub, putt-putt course, tennis courts, shuffle board, basketball ball courts, playground and horse shoes. Inside the club house there is a fitness room and pool tables.
Your hosts are Beckie and Joey Nichols from Cumming Georgia. We have been going to Panama City Beach for many years. We have stayed many places but love Horizon South and decided to purchase a unit. We love the family community in Horizon. Joey is an avid bass fisherman and enjoys deep sea fishing. With the purchase of the unit he hopes to spend more time on the ocean. Beckie enjoys deep sea fishing as well but she really enjoys just relaxing on the beach and reading a book.
As the owners we have chosen to rent our unit ourselves. There is a wonderful onsite maintenance staff that assists with any issues should you have any. Thanks so much for considering our unit. Pls note the complex charges a fee for parking onsite and a wristband charge for adults. The fee currently is $25/car and $20/per adult

The property was as advertised. It was clean and worked well for 4 adults. The property is located halfway in between the pool and the ocean, which is great. I would definitely stay here again.
We had an amazing time, the house looked exactly like the pictures, very roomy and amazing spaces for the children! We were right beside the beach and even used the pool! Mrs. Becky was very good at communicating with us! We enjoyed it very much!
We loved this condo and would love to come back! We loved that the condo was nice, clean, and spacious located in the perfect spot. Its is located very close to Horizon South's front entrance, right across the street from the beach. Which was wonderful and convenient. Communication with Beckie and Horizon South was smooth and easy. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful condo!
The home has everything we need and in place. We were very pleased with the cleaningness of the unit. One of the things we liked the most is the location. It was great to walk everyday to the beach. Highly recommend this home to anyone.

Thanks so much for your stay. I am so glad you enjoyed!
Everything was great. We were right across the street from the beach. The area was nice. We were close to restaurants & attractions. The only thing that I didn’t like was the construction work that was going on directly in from of the unit and the fees you have to pay for parking and the added fees to visit the pools and other attractions on the property. But overall the stay was wonderful and Mrs. Beckie was a pleasure to book from. She was very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had.

I do apologize for the construction mess but as any construction project goes it is way behind schedule 😞. With improvements comes a little pain I guess. Appreciate your rating and pls reach out for a repeat renter discount 😊. Next year the construction will be complete and it will be much nicer.
This home was absolutely perfect for my family of 7. There is so much to do on the property for the kids and the beach was a very short walk which was great!! We stay in PCB a couple times a year and the home was the cleanest I’ve ever stayed in. We will definitely stay here again in the future!

Thanks so much for the kind words! We look forward to you visiting us again soon!
We were very pleased with our first experience with this unit and the complex. The unit was spotless and well appointed. We were very happy with the unit's accessibility to the beach and to the pool, and we were most appreciative of the use of the wagon that is left at the unit! We are already checking calendars for next year!

This unit was perfect for a much needed vacation! It looks exactly as described. From the front gated entrance (front beach rd) the unit is very easy to find. Front door has secure area for chairs, sand toys, etc. Kitchen has all of the supplies you will need to prepare your meals. Both bedrooms & full baths are upstairs. Master bedroom is spacious & bed is very comfortable. Ceiling fan turns on but does not work well. Not really a big deal. Guest bedroom was comfortable & decorated beautifully-matches guest bathroom. Both bedrooms have large, adjoining balcony. Very convenient. Master bedroom also has an additional small balcony. Living room was cozy & half bath was very convenient to the back patio. We spent a lot of time on the patio. Especially using the charcoal grill for easy meals. Very private, which we loved. Patio also has a gate that we used daily for easy access to the beach. It was a little stubborn to close, but nothing too difficult. Took approximately 2-3 minutes to easily walk to the beach. Felt very safe walking to & from beach at any point in the day. Gated community was exceptionally quiet, yet super friendly neighborhood. We would highly recommend this unit as well as staying at Horizon South.

Thank so much for your kind comments Tabetha. So glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed our unit. We are constantly trying to maintain and improve our unit. We purchased a new AC unit this winter so hopefully you were cool and comfortable. Glad you enjoyed the patio. That is one of our favorite spots as well and enjoy the privacy. We look forward to having you stay again in the future!
We had a great week at PCB! Family of 5 with kids age 13, 11, and 7. The unit was clean and provided a great space for our family. The 3 kids shared the two double beds in the guest room and it worked well for us. Kitchen is big enough and loaded with items needed to make your own meals. Lots of games played at the kitchen table. Beckie was super fast to respond to any questions before the trip and checked in to make sure everything was going well during our stay. Unit is located very close to the gate to the beach. Just a short walk across the street to the sand! Coconuts restaurant is a minute walk away. Many other restaurants, pizza, ice cream, within walking distance or short drive.
If you’re going to stay at Horizon South during the current Covid period, the condo association will not lend out golf putters, horse shoes, pool cues, or shuffle board equipment so you will want to bring your own. We brought our own putters and the kids loved playing mini golf every single day. We bought horseshoes at Dicks and enjoyed that as well. One of the 4 pools is heated so that was the popular pick over our stay. Plenty warm to enjoy on a cooler day and a large hot tub next to the pool. We enjoyed the basketball court as well, just bring your own ball.
This area of PCB was less congested than the areas more to the East that had more high rise condos. The beach wasn’t very crowded by us either which was a plus. Lots of great seafood restaurants within a few minutes drive! We had a great week and would love to go back. I would recommend this place to a friend. Thank you Beckie!

Thanks so much for your review and your kind words. So glad you and your family had a good trip and enjoyed my unit and the complex.
Condo was very clean, equipped well with lots of extras such as beach and pool toys, carts , chairs .
Location was convenient walk to beach. My family of 4 with 2 teenagers were very comfortable
Beckie Nichols was a great help. I had to text her with a few questions and she returned my text immediately. The vacation rental is in a great location. It is just walking distance to the beach. It has a very nice eating place with in just a short walking distance with a Delicious breakfast. Also, they did not end breakfast until 12 noon which was definitely a plus for my family whom loves to sleep in. Really the only thing missing that would have improved my stay was a mirror in the master bed room up stairs. I'm only 5'3" and the mirror in the bathroom was too tall for me to look at the outfit I decided to wear for the day, so a body leaning wall mirror would have been great. We will definitely be staying here again, especially now that we have been offered a discount for the next stay. Thank you so much for making our vacation awesome and relaxing.

Thanks so much for the kind words and the feedback. I have been thinking about a mirror on the backside of the master bedroom door but was concerned about it getting broken. I will certainly put one up before you return! THX and glad you enjoyed your stay
Stayed for a week, wished I could have stayed longer. Everything you need is here, probably one of the best appointed kitchens I have seen. Super spacious, 2 stories, 2.5 baths, great comfortable beds, even the sleeper sofa was comfortable. 2 upper balconies (one is huge), huge lower outdoor area fenced with table and grill, with gate access. Beach wagon, boogie boards, umbrellas, toys...3 minute walk to awesome beach, pools, hot tub, restaurants, shops. Location Location Location. You won't go wrong with this unit...it is absolutely exceptional for the money!
The property was comfortable and convenient to the beach. While not fancy or loaded with amenities, it offered just enough to allow for a pleasant stay.

Thanks so much for the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to a return trip
We had an excellent stay at this condo. It is a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed the use of the beach toys, wagon and umbrellas. There were 4 pools to swim at and they were never too crowded. The kids enjoyed the putt putt course.
There were plenty of beds for 5 of us and the pull out sofa was comfortable. We used the kitchen almost every night and had plenty of utensils and pots to use.
The balcony was perfect for morning coffee and enjoyed sitting on the deck in the afternoon. There is a charcoal grill on the deck also.
We had a great family vacation. Beckie is very responsive if any problems arise and very easy to work with. We usually vacation on the east coast but will probably be coming back here again.
