The condo itself and the view were amazing! You can’t beat the view!
The bathrooms could use some updating and the master bedroom bed, it’s pretty hard and woke up sore each morning. With that being said, all I had to do was to plop on the balcony and see the view and all was forgotten!! Great beach area, got 2 free chairs with your rental which was fantastic.
The biggest downfall was the wait for the elevators, Somedays and times it takes a very long time. Normally I would just take the stairs but not when you are on the 15th floor.
Overall great place, great communication with the staff and very happy with our stay!!!

Stayed in 1902 and it was very clean with an awesome view. Very nice condo facility with great parking for that unit. The facility is not new but well maintained for the amount of use it has had. Would definitely go again.

The balcony’s are huge and very private, the views are incredible! This condo was fantastic, I would recommend replacing the throw rugs. The floor could have been a little cleaner, our white socks were black on the bottom.

Very nice place, can't wait to come back.
Condo was very clean, strange smell normally early morning, believe it was coming from side load washer, which we did not use. Other than that it was excellent. Beautiful views from the room. Will return.
The only pro that I can come up with for this "resort" is the proximity to the beach. Once you get off of the elevator on the ground floor, you are close to the sand.
The cons, however, are endless. The room smelled horrible upon arrival. We went and purchased air fresheners. The secondary bathroom did not work; there was no water in the sink, and the toilet would not flush. After messaging the owner, we had a plumber in the room once, maintenance in the room twice, and housekeeping once. The washing machine smelled like a sewer. The shower curtains needed to be replaced as they were covered in mildew. Water barely drains in the showers. The staff at the pool are very rudley strict with the wristbands which are hard plastic and cut you. If I were to sneak into a "resort" pool, this is not the pool I would sneak into as it is not nice. The sauna was not operational and closed. The parking garage is tight and difficult.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed our vacation. The condo was exceptionally clean and matched the photos, with a beautiful balcony view.
The unit itself is a bit dated and could use updates. The furniture was fine, but the appliances felt old, there were some loose floor tiles, and the curtains didn’t block much morning light, so the rooms get bright early.
A major downside was the pool security, which felt overly strict and intrusive. Staff frequently monitored guests closely, corrected minor issues, and even observed the pool from the parking garage, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable. No drinks were allowed near the pool, and we were repeatedly warned about closures due to nearby storms, which made it hard to relax.
The wristband policy was also inconvenient. Guests must wear a non-removable band at all times, and security checks compliance even in the pool. We also weren’t allowed to remove them for family beach photos unless we paid for replacements, which was disappointing.
On the positive side, elevators were quick with no long waits, and the property has two nice pools and a large, enjoyable hot tub.
Overall, I would rate the condo itself 4 out of 5 stars for cleanliness, comfort, and views despite needing updates. The property amenities would be 2 out of 5 stars, mainly due to the overly strict security and restrictive policies that made it difficult to fully relax.
We had a wonderful stay. I was impressed with the communication with the property manager. They delivered all of the information we needed with perfect timing. The beach was beautiful and easily accessible, staff were very accommodating and friendly. The parking underneath the building is limited but we were able to find a space ~80% of the time. When the basement lots were full, we parked in the garage across the street. Elevators were dated and very stuffy but we heard that they are being replaced with new ones soon. The room was spacious and we really enjoyed the large balcony. Thanks for the great stay.

Had to walk across the street to get to condo because walkway was being worked on, that wasn’t mentioned when booking. Parking wasn’t great, elevators were small, and crowded but seemed to work ok. Condo had a weird sewer smell while there. I had to go buy blankets because the second bedroom didn’t have quilts on the beds. Condo didn’t provide beach chairs with our rental and the men who set the chairs up was rude they would sit them right up against where you was at. Even if no one was renting them and you had your stuff their first. We vacation at pcb a lot and have stayed many places. I waited last minute and booked here instead of going to our usual areas, I know it’s a lot to prepare these places for guest but for the price you pay for a week I would expect a more comfortable stay.

Everything was nice. Nice double pool with jacuzzi then walk straight to beach. Elevators did not take long. Plenty of carts available for loading/unloading. Easy check-in and convenience with app.

I love that the balcony was big enough for all 4 adults to relax and enjoy the view together. I was disappointed that the door code didn't work and we gad to call to get it fixed. The gentleman that helped me was very pleasant and fixed the problem immediately.

Poor communication - Excellent rooms
Room was cleaned and excellent location. Need to improve on communication after booking room perticularly for last minute booking. Office was closed and no mention communication number. Similar issue for check out too. No communication or email about confirmation.

Resort was nice. Check in through Panhandle Getaways was amazingly simple. Had a hot water issue, but it was resolved within 24 hrs. Less time on that would have been appreciated. Would stay again.
