This was the prettiest room I have ever stayed in...it looks like something in a magazine. My favorite part was being able to turn the air off and open the window...nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. The host, Paula, is absolutely amazing as well...so helpful and friendly, I felt like family. I will always check with them to see if this gorgeous room is avaliable, before checking anywhere else. It was just what I needed for my weekend reboot. If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

So good!! Paula is so nice, as well! The room is perfect for 2 people or even more! Perfect view of the water and so so close to the beach. This room comes with free beach chairs so all you have to do is tell the kiosk person that and you’re good to go! The laundry room is on the 2nd floor and super close to the room as well. Overall perfect! So clean, so nice, and just perfect for the beach!!

About the host

Hosted by Paula and Doug Norris

Host profile image
My husband Doug, my daughter Madison, and I (Paula) love Panama City Beach! Growing up in Georgia my family would come to Panama City Beach every year. So when I met Doug (he grew up in Las Vegas, NV) I had to take him to the world's most beautiful beaches of the gulf of Mexico and he loved it also. He couldn't believe it had white sand and the water is warm from about April thru October. We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We love that the Top of the gulf is right on the ocean. You don't even have to get out of the bed to see the beautiful ocean view! Close to attractions, shopping and our favorite restaurants! The complex is clean and well kept.

What makes this property unique

The Complex is small and family friendly. Its is also walking distance to the major night clubs if you want to go but far enough away if you don't. It has common area balconies or you can just open your window and enjoy the breeze! Plenty of lounge chairs by the pool and also a kiddie pool.
