Family Vacation

I really enjoyed my stay in Panama City. The property was everything that the listing said that it would be. It was great for our family and it was close enough to the beach that the kids could go everyday! The host was great, I had plenty of questions and she didn’t mind answering them. It was a great location, close to everything we wanted to do. I would definitely stay here again!

Sat-Sat stay.

Our group of six people were all quite comfortable. We were able to bring our 2 dogs at this particular facility which was a major selling point. There is plenty of places to walk your dogs; however, they cannot be on the beach or in the pool area, but this was stated up front and not a problem. I can recommend the facility and the owners of the property without reservation..

I would definitely recommend this house. Everything was spot on. We had a glitch with the lock on the front door ( it was my fault I put the wrong code in to many times) She stepped out of church and walked me through it. We definitely will be back

About the host

Hosted by Christy Croom

Host profile image
My parents and I bought this property together in 2013. We love the beach and try to get down to the Gulf as often as possible. We are only a few hours drive from Panama City and love to take last minute trips to just 'get away.' My family and I love staying at Sugar Beach. We have rented condominiums on this property for years and enjoy the quiet, family atmosphere. We want our guests to feel just as 'at home' as we do when we are there!

Since we just closed on this property in August of this year, we are still in the process of upgrading, decorating, and adding our own touches. Please visit our site often so that you can view our progress. We hope to make this unit a place that you will enjoy, feel at home, and escape your hectic, everyday life!!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property to have a place to take our families on vacation. It seems like each year, we get busier and busier, meaning less time for vacations. Instead of just letting the condo sit there, we decided to share it with folks like you, who are looking for a nice, comfortable place to spend their vacations and make memories with their own families! We hope you enjoy your stay and make memories that will last forever!

What makes this property unique

Our favorite thing about this condo is that you literally park your car right outside the front door. No stinky elevators or pesky flights of stairs! We also love that we can simply walk to several different restaurants, the convenience store, an amusement park and a variety of bars and nightclubs.
