We were a family of 4 with our 2 dogs. One of our persons required handicap accessibility.
Pros-
-Contact with management was very good.
- We had more space than what we could ever need.
-The back area of the home is perfect for a separate families privacy.
-The description of the property is accurate.
-A short walk to the beach.
-The beach is absolutely beautiful.
-Utilizing a walker not a wheelchair, a person that has disabilities could actually enjoy the beach.
-The home has almost everything you could possibly need i.e.
umbrella, beach chairs, a cart to tote your beach supplies, some toys for the kids. I even noticed a couple of beach towels and kids safety floating devices.
-The pool water was wonderfully warm.
-The kitchen supplied an ample amount of cleaning, dining & cooking supplies. The amount of paper supplies was enough to get us started. A dish sponge & scrubbie is a must purchase.
I would recommend an inventory of the supplies before you shop. We were pleasantly surprised to find all that the home offered.
-Our dogs had a wonderful time. The property is fenced in, so they could roam around.
There was a small view of the beach from the loft patio.
Cons-
-The handicap bathroom was upstairs in the loft, so absolutely no access to a shower without lifting the person or carrying them upstairs.
Our greatest disappointment, was the overall cleanliness.
-Mold in/around the shower tile etc.
-The patio area was in terrible need of power washing! Way too much mold and dirt. Yes its Florida and there is tons of humidity which creates a lot of the issues, however, this was not an inexpensive stay, so we expected more.
-The kitchen was just too dirty i.e. cabinets, back splash, garbage can, cooking supplies and serving dishes were even cracked. Before we used any of the utensils/plates/glasses, they had to be washed.
-The home essentially is old with additions and remodeling done. The sunroom enclosure with 2 queen beds runs warm and smells stale. We did not need the space, so we kept the door closed.
This area of Panama City Beach is in the midst of new construction. Unfortunately, the original homes on the beach views are blocked by the new construction.
In time, there will be even more choices of restaurants, shopping and activities in this area.
Maintain the cleanliness and the required handicap maintenance of this home and its a nice place to vacation.
