Very good
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
The not so good - The inside of the unit could use a little TLC (I read that it is slated to be updated this upcoming off season) but everything worked as it should so it was just cosmetic. The good - The unobstructed view was amazing. The location allows for walking to restaurants. The unit is spacious and it has a very roomy balcony. I would stay here again.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the amazing views, spacious layout, and convenient location.
We appreciate your note regarding the interior and we will be making off-season updates. It’s great to know everything functioned well during your stay.
We’re happy to hear you would stay again and look forward to welcoming you back!
The views are fabulous, nice large balcony. The space is a bit dated, but I hear there are updates planned. I brought my favorite cooking utensils, which ended up being good idea. Again, updates are coming winter of 2026! We will be back next year!

We appreciate your note regarding the updates, and we’re excited about the planned improvements. We’re also glad you came prepared for cooking and made the most of your stay.
We look forward to welcoming you back next year!
The condo was perfect for us! We had 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 1 child and the way it was set up made us all feel like we all had our own space. The bedroom had so much room and being able to wake up to an ocean view every morning was perfect! The beach itself wasn’t overcrowded and it was kind of like a little nest egg in the middle of the chaos that PCB can be. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you, Rachel! We're so glad the condo layout worked well for your family and that you enjoyed those beautiful ocean views. It’s great to hear you found a peaceful spot amidst the PCB excitement. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had reservations at another property that got canceled because the previous tenants tore something up. We were offered to stay at the Summit instead.. AND I’m glad we was! We absolutely loved it. Me and my husband had the best time! We will be back!

The floor to ceiling glass in the living room overlooking the gulf was wonderful. The master bedroom faces the gulf as well. Bed was super comfy! Loved having my coffee each morning on the balcony. Two bathrooms was a plus! Would go back (plus I love the Panhandle beaches)!

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, Laura! We're glad you loved the breathtaking view from the living room and the cozy bed in the master bedroom. It's always a plus to have two bathrooms, and enjoying coffee on the balcony sounds like a perfect start to the day!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moondrifter 801! Our main amenities: the view, the bed, and the balcony were phenomenal. The condo itself is lacking in several areas and desires repairs and updating. The location is great and we’d would love to stay again pending repairs.

This picture makes this condo look beautiful, but in reality it should be gutted inside. Kitchen & bathrooms are a total gross mess. Only positive it has, is a very large balcony that overlooks the beach.

Thank you so much for the feedback. This unit has undergone renovation and as you can tell from the previous reviews, there are many guests that love it. We are sorry if you feel like it did not meet your expectations. This condo is advertised as a budget friendly property. We are happy that you enjoyed the very spacious balcony.
The kitchen fan motor needs to be replaced. There are some ceiling tiles which need to be replaced. There were some lights bulbs that needed to be replaced.
Regardless of the minor issues in the unit, the condo was beautiful. The view was breathtaking. The unit is exactly like the photos online. We will visit again for sure.

Needs updating.
Overall we had a very nice time during our stay here. The balcony and the view was amazing!!! Internet service was very slow. Tv in master bedroom would not work. No video cord for DVD player in master bedroom. DVD player in living room only played movies in grainy black and white. No exhaust fan in master bedroom. Light switch does not work in master bedroom. Couch is very worn out and sounds like it’s going to break in living room. Was not very clean when we arrived. It did not appear to be swept or mopped and there was trash in the garbage can. No amenities.

Moondrifter 801
We had a great few days at the beach. The condo overall was OK. We didn’t like the fact that you can only check in at 4 and no earlier as we arrived 3 hours before check in and couldn’t get groceries or anything due to having all of our luggage in our vehicle. It is also very unclear of where to pick up the wristbands and parking passes. The staff at the condo were not very friendly and hateful in a way when we asked questions. Overall, it was OK.

Thank you for your review! While we do not have staff on-site at the resort, we're sorry for any miscommunications and we hope you enjoyed your overall vacation.
Me and my fiance stayed at Moondrifter 801 the second week of August and we had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean for the most part. The only complaints we have is the bathroom in the master bedroom was clogged up and the hot water was pretty much non-existent. A few little updates need to be done such as the skillet and baking pans. Bit other then that we enjoyed the large balcony and the bed was clean and comfy. We would stay again. It was also not extremely crowded not sure if it is due to Covid-19 or just the location. Overall we had a great experience.

This condo appeared as advertised. However housekeeping had to be brought in as soon as we arrived to clean again. There was food left on the end tables in the living room and lots of sand still left in the sofa. The kitchen essentials needed an upgrade as the pans have been over used and the handles were all loose on them. We even pulled out a pan that had not even been washed prior to being placed back in the cabinet. We intended on washing everything before we used it anyway but did not expect that. Management was attentive to our issues when they were brought up.

Thank you for the review! We appreciate your feedback. We've made several updates following your stay, and we would love to welcome you back for an enhanced vacation experience in the future.
Our favorite thing was definitely the huge balcony. The views from 801 can't be beat. This was our favorite condo so far in PCB. The club La Vela next door was closed the week we went so it was more quiet and pretty secluded. The only negative would be there wasn't a decent broom and dustpan which is a must in any condo at the beach.

The room was not ready at check in time. When it was ready it was still very dirty. Had to go buy a mop, bucket, and clean the room ourself. The balcony furniture was rusted and ripped with rusty metal on the balcony. Kids could not go out there. Called maintenance to come and remove, and they never showed up. Very unhappy.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience you encountered during your stay. We have performed several deep cleans in the unit since your departure and made necessary updates. We hope you will come back and give us another chance.
We had a great time on my family vacation! It was quiet, not crowded, and very homey. The beach chairs were directly in front of our room. I was upset that the balcony furniture was broke and the tables were rusted, also that the button for the bath (to switch from shower to bath) was broken, and there wasn’t a dustpan for me to sweep up all of the sand. If these things were fixed I would definitely stay again. The property manager always replied to my questions timely and professional!

Nice property. Next to a club! Loud music all night.
The Panhandle getaways office on site remained closed for days. We arrived and could not get keys or a parking pass. We went 3 days without a parking pass. Had a stranger not told us that they might be under the mat, we would not have gotten in at all after driving 6 hours. Office person was not very friendly, said she could not find a babysitter for days. Office was only open for parts of ONE day for the whole time we were there a week. Other residents were also looking for parking passes and keys. No one would answer the phone to tell us what to do about keys and parking pass. There was a club next door that stayed open and played loud music all night. Gate to the beach remained open at ALL times. The condo itself was very nice and very spacious with an Amazing patio. Pool was small and dirty.
