Boardwalk Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We have been coming to this exact hotel since 2021 and haven’t been disappointed once. The only thing we noticed this year that hasn’t happened before is drainage issues with the tub and sink"

Spark by Hilton Panama City Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and good parking. Walmart is right across the street along with 2 fast food restaurants!"

9th Floor Private Gulf View & a Walk to the Beach - 5 Resort Pools + Hot Tubs!

10/10 Excellent

"Condo was exactly as listed! The closet in the main bedroom even has beach chairs and sand toys! Host communication was incredible. Couldn’t recommend staying here enough!(:"

"French Kiss" Beachfront + Private Pool

8/10 Good

"This was a really nice house, great place by the beach. Kitchen had nice non stick pans to cook in, they provide 6 beach towels and about 4 bathing towels per bathroom. This property doesn’t provide unmbrellas, chairs , wagon or beach toys, but you can rent umbrellas and chairs from property management company for a price. There are things that need some attention, like the garbage disposal was dripping from underneath the sink, so we could only use one side of the sink to wash dishes. In my family we like to cook so that was a big deal to us. Property manager said they couldn’t get it fixed until they had time between reservations. Also there were no working light bulbs in the third floor patio, so make sure to bring your own. The washing machine smelled when we got there so I had to run a cleaning cycle with bleach. We did have a problem with the ac not cooling but the property manager sent someone out the same day. Other than that, we really enjoyed this house, it was super convenient and this location was great for my teens to explore."

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough good things about this house! The beach access is AWESOME; there are about 4 different walkways right outside the front door, and they’re all really easy! maybe a 3-5 min walk from the door to the water. You are RIGHT on the beach. And, lots less people directly in front of the houses than in front of the big resorts. As far as the house itself - very comfy and well-stocked. The bedrooms are big, and there’s a ton of sleeping space (if you’ve got a little, the main bedroom even has a pack n play). All kinds of cooking utensils and appliances, and there’s a stocked spice cabinet. plenty of towels and a good starter stock of dish/laundry detergent as well. We didn’t need to bring nearly as much extra stuff as we usually do. Full sized washer and dryer and almost every room has a Roku TV. Decent stock of games and puzzles and kid toys for days when you’re inside (FYI - we did the 1000-piece puzzle…don’t drive yourself nuts trying to find pieces that aren’t there, there’s a few pieces missing). Great water pressure in the showers and the heater doesn’t ever run out.Backyard/pool - fully stocked. Pool is plenty warm by mid-summer, no need to have it heated (and I’m a wimp about water temp). Lots of pool/beach toys, there’s cornhole and a fire pit and a grill and a giant connect 4 game outside.All in all, probably my favorite place I’ve ever stayed on a beach trip. Definitely plan to rebook here next summer!"

"The condo is nice and had an excellent view. The only downside to the whole stay was the elevators take forever and you spend so much time waiting for them. Everything else was great!"
