Harbor Arms 1 - Direct Beachfront! Pet Friendly! Sleeps 12 - Free Golf Daily

BEWARE - DANGEROUS STEPS IN PROPERTYWe saw no mention of steps inside the condo in the listing when we booked. You have to walk down these steps to get from the kitchen into the living room. The steps are on an angle and really awkward. My 86 year old mother fell down these steps and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. There are no railings and the steps aren’t clearly marked. It is very dangerous for older people. She is now dealing with the aftermath of a concussion and a mild brain bleed. So older people traveling - please proceed with caution. The outdoor steps leading into the property aren’t clearly marked, wither and there is a spiky palm plant the hangs over the banister. We did have to reach out to property management and get three different door codes before we could get inside. Other than the steps, the property is nice.

Only complaint was the middle bedroom sheets weren’t clean…my friend washed them herself and the dirty areas washed out….other than that…nice unit and great location….5th time I’ve stayed in this development…can’t be beat

Our grandson was staying with his team at the Christian Center down the road for a youth football tournament and we were looking for a place within walking distance. This place fit our priorities perfectly. The views and open area were wonderful. Sleeping arrangements for 5 adults and 3 kids worked out perfectly. The home has very little curb appeal, but once we got passed that, we were all extremely pleased. It looks like the kitchen was recently remodeled and had everything we needed. The old frying pan worked out better than the new ones. Everything seemed to stick to those. We managed with the one pan. The bedrooms were fine and very clean. The views from the back porch were amazing! The porch is a little worn, but still very comfortable. There was plenty of beachy items to take outside. The kids definitely put them to use. We never could figure out how to use the TV. We managed, but written instructions would have been nice. We would definitely come back.

6 adults and 3 kids under 5, we stayed Friday to Friday. Overall, the stay was great. The area was quiet, safe and easy access to everything in Panama. The ocean view was beautiful, and the private beach made for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The parking is not made for multiple vehicles, as there is only 1 space per unit, with 3 visitor spots, which were taken the entire trip. We had to park our second vehicle miles away at a store, due to no other parking available. Beach access is right outside the back door, but a bit of a hike, so be prepared with wagon. The walkway from the house was overgrown, so we had to cut it back to make it easier for walking. The beach is a reserved/private area, so it was never crazy busy, which was really nice. We put our tent up early, and left it up until nighttime. There are limited items in the house to use when there, compared to other rentals I have stayed in before. Kitchen items - pots, pans, flatware - were very minimal. Luckily we didn’t plan to cook large meals, but if you do, come prepared. There was 1-2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, 1 roll of paper towels, and 1-2 trash bags, so we had to buy extra upon arrival, since we stayed a full week. Photos on VRBO didn’t match the unit we stayed in, and after reserving, the company reached out to via email to complete booking. Nothing went through VRBO after that. The house was clean, laid out nicely, and made for a comfortable trip.

Gorgeous home with direct beach access. Very convenient for time on the beach. Had a few issues upon arrival , but guest relations was able to get them resolved. Parking very limited . Listing claims Private Pool , golf, water park , Grill , boating, kayaks and other amenities onsite. There are NONE of these at this property. Listing needs updated to reflect this issue.

We had a GREAT time at harbor arms 1. There was plenty of room, fully equipped and the view was amazing!! As we stayed for a month, the staff was great with communication and checking with us. The location was perfect for us as it was right in the middle of 30A and PCB. We like to do things in both areas. We were disappointed that PCB’s Christmas lights went up the week of Christmas and they were ok. However, down 30A is just MAGNIFICENT! The bar across the street though was loud the whole time we were there with music till closing which didn't bother us but could see where it could be a bother. The complaint that I have is that the place was dirty! The smell when you walked in was not a clean smell and definitely could smell pet urine. When we got there on the second day I had my husband go get supplies to clean the windows, they hadn't been cleaned in looks like months. I left the two windows in the living so that you could see the difference. It makes the view that much more prettier! Blinds were broke. Baseboards, vents etc were filthy!! My daughter came in the second week and used the room to the left, the bathroom in there baseboards behind that door was black and dirty! The couches were dirty and smelled. The mattresses were pretty bad as well as far as very hard! I would want to know if I were the owner,as this place could be amazing. I know they are remodeling but cleanliness goes along way! A deep deep cleaning is what it needs!

We really enjoyed this property

Very clean

Enjoyed our stay at this site. Beach access was what we were looking for and that was fantastic. Floor plan was easy and comfortable. Needed pet friendly and that was great... however found out early the morning we left, dogs aren't allowed on the beach. Nice place. Would recommend.

Clean, cute, spacious with everything you need to be comfortable.
