Our "home away from home" is carefully and thoughtfully decorated to make your stay memorable and comfortable. From the FREE BEACH SERVICE (2 chairs & an umbrella set up daily - a $50/day value) included with your stay, to the pool and children's pool, expansive beach, and exercise room, Sterling Reef 502 offers great comfort and amenities. Plus, there are no long walks to your car as the garage is occupies the first three floors of the building. Please note: This is a NON-SMOKING/VAPING unit - no smoking/vaping in the unit, balcony, or any of the common areas. Smoking/vaping is only permitted on the top, outside level of the garage on the 3rd floor patio. This condo can accommodate 4 adults over the age of 25.

The king-sized master bedroom overlooks the Gulf with an oversized bath and closet. The second guest room has a queen bed and immediate access to the second bath. Additionally, there is a queen sleeper in the living room for guests. There is a convenient in-unit washer & dryer, and the fully equipped kitchen and granite island tie it all together and make this condo a premier choice for your beach escape. Bring your camera to capture the views from the large private balcony that overlooks the emerald water and white sand beaches of Panama City Beach. Catch the amazing sunsets, or if you're lucky, the various fireworks shows on the 4th and New Year's Eve. Enjoy your morning coffee or breakfast as you watch the dolphins, stingrays, turtles, and large schools of fish just off the beach and in the distance. The complex offers a pool and children's pool adjacent to the beach. Additionally, there is a fully-equipped exercise room and convenient, close covered parking. You'll have access to jet ski rentals & banana boat rides right on the beach! In the immediate area you will find dozens of shops and golf cart/scooter rentals, miniature golf, and plenty of great restaurants. You will also find some unique opportunities such as Shipwreck Water Park, Indulgence Spa & Salon, and the MB Miller Fishing Pier.
