About this property

Panama Sanctuary | Private Heated Pool & Hot Tub

Summary:

Welcome to Panama Sanctuary! A brand-new, five-story luxury retreat built for the kind of vacation people actually talk about for years. With over 4,500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home brings big groups together without anyone feeling crowded. Every detail, from the private heated pool and hot tub to the gulf views off multiple balconies, was chosen to make the whole group feel taken care of.



Tucked on Thomas Drive with two beach access points less than a block away, you're steps from the sand and minutes from the best dining, entertainment, and watersports the Emerald Coast has to offer.



Panama Sanctuary 6 BR / 7.5 BA | Sleeps 24 | Private Heated Pool & Hot Tub | Panama City Beach, FL



The Space:

Six spacious bedrooms are split across the third and fourth floors, each with its own ensuite bathroom. Four king suites offer a true hotel-quality feel with double vanities and walk-in showers, while two dedicated bunk rooms (each with four full-size bunks and individual TVs) give kids and teens their own space to spread out. In total, 7.5 bathrooms mean no one is waiting in line.



Kitchen & dining

The second-floor kitchen was built for real cooking and easy hangs. An oversized island seats six, with a large dining table for eight nearby. You get a gas stove, double dishwashers, a massive main fridge, a dedicated wine fridge, and an undercounter ice maker. A ground-floor kitchenette by the game room handles snacks and drinks without anyone having to go upstairs.



Living & entertainment

The main living area is bright and open, anchored by a 70" Smart TV and electric fireplace. Fourteen Smart TVs and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the home mean everyone can stream or game on their own terms. The first-floor game room comes loaded with arcade-style games, board games, a beverage fridge, and its own ice maker — it tends to become the unofficial headquarters of every trip.



Outdoor living

Step outside to your private heated pool and hot tub, six sun loungers, two outdoor showers, and a covered patio with a BBQ grill and outdoor dining for six. Toss some cornhole. Sip your coffee on a balcony overlooking the pool with the gulf breeze rolling through. This is the part of the trip no one wants to leave.

Entry is via smart lock; your personal code will be sent before check-in. A doorbell camera is located at the front entrance for security.



The Neighborhood:

Panama Sanctuary sits on Thomas Drive — one of the best-positioned streets in Panama City Beach. You're in a quiet residential stretch that puts you within walking distance of the Gulf without the chaos of the Strip.



Beach & outdoors

Two public beach access points are less than a block away. Richard Seltzer Park, a beloved local beach access with free parking and outdoor showers, is just minutes down Thomas Drive. The sugar-white sand and emerald water the Emerald Coast is famous for are literally steps from your door.



Food & drinks

Big Easy Restaurant & Bar is right up the road on Thomas Drive — a New Orleans-inspired gem with outstanding Cajun food, live music, and a seriously loyal local following. For waterfront dining, Schooners on Gulf Drive is a PCB institution with half-price happy hours and fresh Gulf seafood. The Deckhand Social offers a more upscale waterfront experience with great brunch and a pool for the kids.



Entertainment

Emerald Falls Family Entertainment Center (go-karts, mini golf, and arcade games) is two blocks away — perfect for a casual evening out. Ripley's Believe It or Not and Coconut Creek Family Fun Park (three mini golf courses + a massive maze) are both under a mile. For something on the water, Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise is a big hit with kids and families.



Groceries & errands

ALDI is a short drive down Thomas Drive for stocking up before you settle in. A European Food Mart is also nearby on Thomas Drive for specialty snacks and drinks.



Getting Around:

Golf cart rentals are available within one block — the easiest and most fun way to explore the area. Most of what you'll need is within a 5–10 minute drive, and the beach is always the fastest walk.



Other Things to Note:

Details That Matter

Elevator access across all four floors. Two separate laundry areas (third and fourth floor). Smart lock entry. Free driveway parking for four vehicles. One EV charging outlet. A doorbell camera for added peace of mind.
