Beach Front Condo in Panama City Beach

Check in online when u get the email to do so, so much easier. Most of the dissatisfaction not necessary at the owner or the condo room itself- we checked in about 320pm 40 mins before we were supposed to- upon arriving the sink was stopped up with some sort of dirty water. Took pics and pics of various damage to the condo and sent to the owner. Owner called me back fairly quickly, told me I had checked in early, I apologized, told me a plumber was already on the way, so he’s gonna be here by 4pm? Yes. We are headed out and going to Walmart. Got back around 6pm plumber was walking in with us. Plumber dude or the general maintenance guy FANTASTIC. Gave us some good recommendations, just an overall great guy! The condo is a little outdated, dishwasher didn’t work the best, I re washed all we had by hand. Great views floor 21. No shower in the bunk room. We booked on the more affordability plan Than luxury. It was fine and it definitely worked for us and our family. THIS review is NOT a complaint. This was our 4th stay at Shores and most likely will be our last. Great for families with smaller kids. The beach front is overwhelmingly PACKED. haven’t been down there in a couple of years. If u rent the chair/s EXPECT bring your own chair/umbrella people to cram in front of you as tight as they can. People will start saving their spot on the beach as early as 5am. Bring a great attitude and a little bit of patience and it will be a great vacation!

Couldn't get the sliding glass door to lock

Room was great, view was amazing. Only thing I didn’t enjoy was furniture. Couch is very uncomfortable and worn out. Beds were also very uncomfortable. The rest of room is great. Would recommend.

Everything about this rental was perfect! The host was great to work with and had quick and easy communication. The condo was beautiful and so clean. The location was great with lots of walking options for food and shopping. We even brought our wagon and walked to Wal-Mart for groceries, so we didn’t have to worry about getting in and out of the parking structure. The entire trip was great and we would be happy to stay here again!

The stay was amazing! The check-in process was super easy, we drove up to the gate, were given our wristbands and parking pass, and were able to head straight to our room. The room itself was very clean, and the view was absolutely beautiful. The only downside was that the parking garage was a bit difficult to navigate. We also ran out of some supplies by the end of the trip and had to purchase our own, which wasn’t a big deal, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely stay here again!

loved it!

Everything was amazing me and my friends had the most fun time it was spacey and pretty the view was gorgeous very clean and Pavel is an amazing host he is very informative and knows what he is doing!! Book with him (:

I was not told that the balcony was blocked off until I arrived at the unit. I contacted VRBO and the host and VRBO REPRESENTATIVE told me that I would receive a partial refund. And that the host would see about getting the balcony accessible which never happened. If I had known that we could not use the balcony which is something we were looking forward to, I would have not have chosen that unit. Also the linens and pillows in the main bedroom room smelled awful. There was a terrible body order scent on them. All of the balcony furniture was placed in different areas of the living room which made it very crowded and uncomfortable for the 6 of us. I was overall disappointed in our stay. I have rented other units at Shores of Panama via VRBO before and was very pleased but I wasn't at all happy with this stay.

Beautiful view. Could've used a bit more cleaning, which we did (especially the bathrooms). The door to the bunk room was messed up. Overall, a nice space. It was very crowded, so it took a while to catch an elevator; however, we would stay there again.

We found bags of trash under the master bed, as well as loose trash in the first master dresser and under the second master bed. We had fewer towels than we were supposed to, 6 towels for 7 people, and contact with the property manager resulted in no changes. We ended up buying additional towels, and may have left a few there, so maybe the next guest will benefit. The smoke detector started beeping the last two nights. We messaged the property manager, who again responded to messages without any actual result. There was a comforter in the second master bedroom, inside a basket. It was covered in debris, which went everywhere when we picked it up. Towels and linens were mostly stained with unpleasant colors. The surfaces, fans, doors, cabinets, and dressers were dust covered. The check in process is a bit chaotic. We witnessed two incidents in the parking garage, due to limited space to operate. The elevators are slow and packed. It took us an hour to make two trips to our room to unload. Elevators often are down, and there seems to be only 4 in the entire facility, a 23 story facility. The facility as a whole is a lovely place, with great amenities, and an amazing ocean view/access. Most of the issues are isolated to the specific rental property, and the communication with the property manager.
