Panama City Beach, Florida
Newly Renovated!!! This new condo has been outfitted with upscale furnishings only fitting for such a luxury resort as the Shores of Panama. The condo is located on the 11th floor next to the elevator for easy access and allows for a full view of the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the white sand beaches as well as the exotic tropical pool area with its tiki bars, bridges, fountains, hot tubs and zero entry pool. Without leaving the resort you can enjoy the fitness center, steam room, sauna and other spa services as well as the large heated indoor pool. Your rental also comes with a reserved covered parking space located on the 11th floor. Everything you could want or need off the beach is only a short distance away. We are across the street from Wal-Mart and next door to Pineapple Willy's, a Waffle House and major top-rated restaurants.
In fairness, I want to start by saying that the owners were very communicative and addressed the problems we had quickly and were nice to credit us a small portion back for the inconveniences. However, we arrived to a condo that hadn’t been cleaned yet (which was a pain after driving half a day and wanting to unpack the car and relax). Then when we finally got settled in later that night, we realized that the top bunk bed rail was broken and found under the bed, so we weren’t able to have my son sleep there the first night (she had someone come and fix it the next day). We also heard the ac unit dripping water constantly when it would cut off (she said they are replacing the unit in 2 weeks). The pull out sofa mattress needs to be upgraded as it is very thin and you can feel the coils. I wouldn’t have an adult sleep on it (only young, light weight children). The king size mattress has visible worn/warped spots on the top and caused my husband’s back to ache, but I slept fine. I realize we stayed during a very busy week (July 20th-27th) but it was CROWDED and the elevators were a NIGHTMARE. We had to take chairs down to the pool in order to have somewhere to sit most days. The elevators sometimes took 10-15 mins to get on and people pile in like sardines and there is no air circulating, so it gets HOT! We took 11 fights of stairs a few times because we couldn’t stand to wait any longer. Just be forewarned that it is highly frustrating to deal with the elevators - thank goodness the owners have a spot on the 11th floor in the parking garage because I couldn't imagine dealing with the elevators every time we had to leave the condo. Since it is a huge complex of condos you get an assortment of people staying, but there were a number of times when I was not comfortable with my children being around......music being played with inappropriate lyrics, the smell of people smoking weed, and loud noise at night due to partying. It is more of a party place in my opinion rather than a family place. We will not be returning to this property.
We had a great time at The Shores of Panama!!
Mashburn family, went first of August, Love, only one thing, couch mattress may need upgrade or replacement, only compliant, but master bed awesome and bunks awesome! Will try to get again next year! Parking deck is a nightmare but that is not owners fault! Thank you Kellie!
This is an awesome place to stay. The condo, parking, and resort have everything you would want. Our only issue is some of the other tenants being obnoxious. Thankfully there is a lot of security personnel. I think traveling during a popular spring break time is the sole reason for the other unruly guests. We would definitely recommend this condo.
This was a great condo unit. Clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. Great location. Pools we nice. The staff we encountered were very friendly. My daughter and I had great visit!
This condo is fabolous it is beach front and has all food accommodations and a Walmart close by.
The property was exactly as mentioned in the description. It was located conveniently next to a Walmart, and was a trip down the stairs from the beach. This residence easily slept 5 vacationers. We had all the cooking utensils that we needed as well. My parents loved their first time at the ocean, and this residence had a lot to do with that. Thanks!
We loved our time at Shores of Panama! Our condo was beautiful, clean, and steps away from the beach. We will be back!
Wonderful vacation for our family. Kellye sent me everything we needed for our stay. Room was perfect, exactly like the pictures. Plenty of cookware and utensils in the kitchen. Good view of pool and beach from balcony. Bed was comfortable. The kids loved the bunk room. I had read bad reviews about the staff being rude and the elevators being very slow. Not the case. All the staff we came in contact with were very nice, polite, and helpful. The longest elevator wait time we had was about five minutes, even though it is to be expected at such a large place. The facilities were clean and appeared to be well kept by the staff. Looking foward to our next trip to the Shores of Panama. We had a wonderful time on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise. I recommend it if you have small children. Pier Park has several options for dining out. I would definitely recommend The Back Porch Seafood & Oyster House, great service and good food.
Very nice, beautiful view, everything was just as Kelly said. Five Stars for this condow, hope to use them again next year.
