"Review from Face book"

We just spent 2 relaxing weeks at this condo.  It was very clean and I was pleased with the amenities provided.  There were plenty of towels and they were fluffy and large along with many beach towels which we did not use, very nice corelle dishes, nice glassware, and a great assortment of cookware.  The cookware was a very good quality and the skillets did not stick.  The oven was very clean and I especially liked the crock pot.  it was great that we could take our miniature dauschund and the netting on the patio kept us from worrying about her.  She loved laying on the balcony in her bed.  There was a large storage area downstairs with anything you would need at the beach - we didn't use this but did go down and look at it.  We are in our late 70's and the loveseat and sofa were a little low and hard to get out of but it was furnished very nicely.  Also, it would be nice if Dunes of Panama had a hot tub- they have 3 very nice, clean pools.  Hope we can stay there again sometime-it is the best equipped condo I have found.  Olivia even furnished detergent and dishwasher soap but I always take my own.  Olivia is fantastic to work with and checked to be sure everything was OK.  She refunded my deposit very quickly.

One more day left in our vacation at this great property. This condo is so nice and so beautifully decorated. The owner has thought of EVERYTHING. She has checked with us to make sure everything is ok. We appreciate how easy she is to work with! Thank you for allowing us to share your condo. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a great place to stay. The staff here at Dunes of Panama have been so nice and friendly also! Great vacation spot!!

We really enjoyed the condo, it was nice and clean like stated, the pictures match what was there, the views were great, nicely laid out with instruction on how to use everything, or where to find things, nice book on the restaurants and things to do, we will look to this condo first when we plan our vacation next year,

We have stayed at this condo 3 times the past few years and absolutely love it. It is the only condo we have stayed in that is stocked full of everything you need. It is VERY accommodating and set aside that, it’s beautiful and at a beautiful location right on the beach ! It’s never really crowded on that end of the beach either so we always enjoy our stay

We arrived Aug 5th to a beautiful condo located on the fifth floor. Olivia has done everything to make sure her guest have everything they need to have a wonderful worry free vacation. There is a very long balcany which gives a great view of the ocean and overlooks one of the two pools. All you need to bring from home is your swimsuits basically. We loved it there. You wont be dissapointed if you book with Olivia.

If you want a clean condo with everything that is needed for a beach trip, rent this one. We loved the supply room with all the beach supplies, and the reserved parking. Also the pet friendly atmosphere was a plus. Olivia was thoughtful and great to work with. Will definitely stay here again.

We have stayed in this condo for 4 years now and couldn't be happier. Olivia and her husband provide everything that you could possibly need on a beach vacation. I highly recommend this condo for anyone that is looking for an amazing place to stay.

"Review from Face book"

I can't say enough how great this condo is and the owners...I am so glad I picked this one after looking thru so many. The views were awesome...loved sitting on the deck as well as our little dog did too and walking the beach. Very clean and very well stocked and having the garage to park the car was a great advantage. Most definitely will stay here again...don't want to stay anywhere else. Trying to plan a return trip in 2018. Loved everything!

 The condo was very well supplied and the view was excellent! The pools were beautiful and we enjoyed walking the beach also. The complex does have nice amenities too. There is one negative in the 2nd bedroom. The beds are very noisy and it is probably the plastic that covers the mattresses, I'm not sure what the problem is. I know that it was very disturbing to the couple that shared the condo w/us. I hope you are able to resolve the issue for future renters. Thank-you.

"Review from Face book"

If I had the time and money, we would vacation at this condo about 4 times a year! It is great, and I can bring my bfurryf with me, and if I am too sick to make it to the beach, I can make it to the balcony. The condo is beautiful, comfortable, a home away from home. Can't wait to visit again!

"Home at the Beach"

We had an amazing time and not knowing Olivia and Dan personally, they make you feel like part of the family with the accommodations.  The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook a full meal, which we did often.  Fresh seafood from Buddy's Seafood is highly recommended.  Bedrooms were perfect for our family with 2 grown boys.  Balcony, pools, beach and ocean were perfect!  The storage unit with all the chairs we fondly named "the cage!" The beach cart kept all of our beach equipment together nd was easy to get in and out!   Kudos for sharing!

"Wonderful Stay"

We enjoyed this condo very much.  We were impressed with all the beach items.  We have quite a few items ourselves and did not need them.  We also bring along kitchen items to cook with and extra towels anytime we stay in a condo. We did not need any of those items for the this condo.  We were so happy that we could bring our two little dogs along with us.  The fence on the patio railing was a pleasure for our dogs as they could enjoy the outside without being on a leash and we could enjoy not worrying about them falling through the fence.  We had a wonderful view sitting on the patio in the two director style chairs that were tall enough to allow seeing over the railing.  Olivia was so easy to work with and we would love to stay again.

"B 506"

We loved the condo.  The new tile is very pretty.  TVs were hooked up wrong when tile was finished but that was resolved with a call to Olivia.  I couldn't have asked for to be any nicer.  We hope to make this our vacation rental from now on.

"Return Trip"

We loved our one week visit last year (please see review "Awesome Vacation")  so much, that we returned for a two week visit this time.  And have already booked our third visit for this fall.  

This condo is roomy, super clean and equipped with everything that you could possibly need.  Great new improvements since our last visit include and overhead fan in the living room and new tile floors in the bedrooms and on the balcony.  The view from the balcony is stunning and we enjoyed many hours sitting out there in the tall chairs.  We appreciate the mesh covering the balcony rails.  We didn't have to worry about our dog sticking her head through the rails and getting stuck.  

The complex and PCB are very pet friendly.  During this trip, we were able to take our dog out to dinner at the Hofbrau Beer Garden, Pineapple Willy's Hook'd, Salty Sue's, and Boshamps Oyster House in Destin.  There is a pet friendly beach by pier Park and we went there several times.  Our favorite place to walk the dog is Conservation Park.  The park has beautiful trails and there is no admission charge.  

The Owner, Olivia, is wonderful and easy to to deal with.  After both stays, our deposit was promptly refunded, which is appreciated.  We feel very fortunate that we are able to vacation in such a lovely condo.  Thank you, Olivia!

"The condo was very accommodating for all of us"

We enjoyed the condo very much.  Olivia and Dave has this place well stocked.  We really only needed the essential groceries.  The VIP parking and storage locker were a great extra.  And the view from the balcony was spectacular.  Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.  If we are ever back in the area we will always stay here.

~Jennifer C.~ June 2016    source:VRBO

"Great place to stay!!"

This was our second year staying in Olivia and her husbands condo and we are currently planning another one for next year.  Olivia has always been extremely helpful in answering all of our questions.  Their condo is very warm and comfortable to stay in.   If you are looking for a relaxing vacation spot this is the one!

~Leslie R.~  Dayton, KY   June 2016  source:VRBO

"Excellant"

If I could give this condo a ten star I would!  We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this condo to all our friends.  Olivia has made sure that her condo felt like home away from home.  There was everything that you would need, from coat hangers to trash bags!  The place was very CLEAN which is very important to renters.  Thanks Olivia for allowing us to stay here.

"Home away from home"

This is our second time staying here and we book a year in advance to ensure we have this condo.  Need I say more?

"Best place to stay on the beach!  10 Star's"

Super clean!!! Ms. Olivia is so sweet & easy to work with & is always there if you need anything!!!!  This condo is my home away from home.  Even though I didn't get to stay here last year, she gave me other names to contact.. That's how popular her condo is & loved.

"Super Condo"

Just spent two months and the condo couldn't have been better.  All the little extras that made it pet friendly were amazing.  Can't wait till next year.

~Dan~  Cranberry Twp. PA  source:VRBO

I love the condo and that they allow our shih tzus to come.  Olivia is great to work with.  The condo is well stocked with everything you need.  We have made this condo our preferred place to stay in PCB.  We have stayed 3 times and had an awesome time.  Try it sometime in the off season.  The heated pool is awesome!

~Carolyn F.~    November 2016  source:Facebook Page

We love this condo, and have met many wonderful people during our stays over the years.  The beach is stunning the pools are clean, the couple in the office, in A building are most helpful.  The rooms are large, and clean.  If you have any problems they fix it that day.

~Anjie S.~    2017   source:Facebook page

Excellent choice.  Well taken car of with all the things you need for the beach.  Covered reserved parking.  Storage locker full of beach stuff including chairs and coolers.   Well equipped kitchen.  Very clean and near everything.  If you like oysters check out Hunts.  Been there 50 years and serves great oysters.

~Donna S.~    September 2016  source:Facebook page

Loved the condo-simply the best.  Had everything you needed, super clean and pet friendly.  Will definitely return.

"Spring Break Family with Kids"

I had stayed at the Dunes more than 25 years ago and could not believe how well things had been kept.  It does not show any signs of being one of the older places on the beach.  

Renting from Olivia was so easy and enjoyable.  The unit itself was wonderful and one bonus with this unit is that their is no no need to pack any of your beach chairs, umbrellas, balls, boogie boards, coolers or whatever else you made need it is provided.  

I would highly recommend this place and hopefully it will be available this fall when we return.

"Loved This Pet Friendly Awesomeness Condo!!"

Clean, Clean, Clean & did I mention it was clean?  Very NICE & SO PET FRIENDLY! ONLY ONE ON PC BEACH! Hope to stay with this owner very soon! Very enjoyable stay with my puppy!  So relaxing, couldn't have asked for a better vacation! Thanks so much!

"Spring time relaxation"

My girlfriend and I absolutely loved it!  Great view of the ocean.  Very convenient to all the shops and restaurants.  Comfy beds.  Just absolutely loved the floor plan of the condo.  People friendly all around the building.  Very quiet and relaxing.  All kitchen ware was available and plenty of bath towels.  We will definitely rent again!  I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a nice quiet getaway.  Very convenient to the beach.  Place was very easy to find.  It was Awesome!!  We didn't want to leave.

"Home away from home"

We were very comfortable from the moment we booked our vacation.  Olivia was wonderful to work with.  The condo was furnished with everything yo could think of.  From a very well stocked kitchen to DVD movies/books, and plenty of towels and lots of beach toys.  The view was amazing from the balcony.  We were impressed with the security and cleanliness of the complex.  Looking forward to our next visit.

~Jeanne S.~ April 2015    source:VRBO

"Best Unit ever"

We have stayed at this location a number of times an this was the best Unit we have stayed in.  I would definitely recommend this unit and rent from Olivia again.

~Tim V.~ Grand Rapids, Michigan April 2015  source: VRBO 

"4th of July"

This was a family vacation and the condo was nice with great amenities.  Booking was easy and check in and out were flawless.  WE will definitely be booking this condo again.

~Heather B.~ June 2015   source:VRBO

"Simple and sweet"

This was a lovely condo that offered pools, covered parking and beautiful ocean views.  

It was well equipped with kitchen needs and towels.  the beds were firm and comfy- we took our own pillows but there were plenty provided.  The chairs on the balcony were a great way to unwind after the beach.  

Do check the condo well to be sure it was cleaned to your standards.  The owner was great to address the few questions we had.  We will def look to stay here again.

"The Cliftons From Indiana"

Our stay was great.  Condo was real nice, People were helpful and nice.  Great view of gulf.

~Edward C.~  Indiana   March 2015  Source VRBO

"Loved the stay"

The condo has a great location, the beach is literally right outside the  pool area.  The availability of the storage area was a great so we did not have to overload the car for travel with umbrellas, chairs, coolers and wake boards.  I love that it is a gated community with the private beach.

The condo was perfect for us.  My wife and daughter are very picky about the cleanliness of where we stay and they both were very comfortable here.  This condo was very clean, they felt right at home.  the kitchen was also very well stocked with all the supplies you need for your stay.

The view from the balcony was beautiful.  The reserved parking under the condo was also great for easy access to the condo.

"RELAXATION AT ITS FINEST"

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay here!  The atmosphere was very relaxing, the people and staff were professional and welcoming, and the pet friendliness was excellent.  We don't have kids but whether you are a group of friends, a family on vacation, or married couple with a pet, this place offers all the relaxation and convenience you can ask for and is just minutes away from awesome shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.  the condo was very clean and a lot of time and effort has been spent in making sure all the necessities are available.   The owner was very pleasant to work with and has dedicated a lot of time and thought into making the entire process of rental, arrival, and departure so easy and trouble free.  

We will definitely rent again and I would highly recommend it to anyone!  If I didn't share this wonderful experience with everyone, I would be doing the owner, Panama Dunes, and it's staff a huge injustice.  Do yourself a favor and if any of my comments above sound like something you would be interested in, book your next vacation/getaway with this owner and her fantastic property.

"Feels like home!"

We have vacationed at the Dunes for 25 years and it is always goo to come back.  This condo is the best condo we have ever had in PC Beach. It was so clean and well maintained.  We love a condo that had and leather seating that can be cleaned.  The owners are so caring and terrific to work with on every level.  The Dunes and this condo are like coming home.  We were so comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

"100 Karat Diamond"

Such a lovely home.  Thanks for sharing.  Every step has been flawless with this trip.  From booking to exiting, there have been no surprises.  Your oasis is certainly well equipped for any level traveler.  The location is perfect and the resort itself very well maintained.   I hope to be back next year.  I will be dreaming about that view for a while.

"PERFECT CONDO"

Absolutely LOVED this condo, it was neat, clean, the view was amazing, and the balcony with the net across the rails was perfect for my little dog.  She offers so much extra its basically perfect, like her beach stroller with chairs, umbrella, cooler, toys, etc...i almost felt that i brought to much stuff.  She was very accommodating, we had to even call and ask a question, she answered right away and was very pleasant.  Al the transactions were smooth and she returned the deposit promptly, We look forward to staying here again 🙂

"Awesome Vacation"

Based on photos, description and reviews, we had high expectations regarding this condo.  We were not disappointed!  Olivia was very easy to deal with, even sending us an email the morning that we were checking in letting us know the condo was clean and ready for our arrival.  We also received another email while driving home after our stay, letting us know that our deposit had already been refunded.

The Condo was roomy and well stocked with everything you could possibly need.  The kitchen was better equipped than our own home kitchen!  And that view, it is incredibly beautiful and we enjoyed the sunsets from the balcony.  The ocean front bedroom, the extra large balcony and the covered, designated parking spot were especially appreciated.  while we didn't use anything in the storage unit, we did check it out.  It was packed with umbrellas, chairs, cart, coolers, etc.   It has everything you need for the beach.  The pools were gorgeous and the complex was very clean and well kept.  

This was our first vacation with our dog, Maggie.  She loved sitting out on the balcony and walking around the complex.  The pet area was more than adequate and there were plenty of pet friendly restaurants in the area.  Among our favorites were Pineapple Willy's, Salty Sue's, and Hook'd Bar and Grill.  There is a pet friendly beach at Pier Park and the shopping area there is dog friendly.  We walked the beach and the shopping area many times with Maggie and we all loved it.  Being able to bring her with us made this vacation extra special and we are grateful that Olivia shared her home with us and our Maggie.  All in all, we had a wonderful time and are planning on returning asap.  Thank you Olivia and Dave, for everything.

"Very best condo visited in 20 years!"

Very best condo visited in 20 years!   Before we started renting weekly condos, we were Wnydham owners, and this condo was better equipped than anywhere we have stayed.  The storage of beach toys even includes a beach tent!! No need to bring anything for beach fun! No need to bring anything for the kitchen-supplies include every kitchen small appliance imaginable.  I like to buy caught-daily fresh fish and Olivia makes cooking a breeze! I love her cocktail glasses!!  The marble floors makes sweeping up the never-ending sand a daily breeze, and we KNOW it is clean!!  And the BALCONY!! - the best in P.C. Beach!!, especially for my little Mandi it has a wire guard to keep her from going through the rails!  Furniture cozy and comfortable!  We needed a vet and called Olivia and she QUICKLY responded to help us! Definitely going to make this our Florida getaway as often as possible!

"Great time in Panama City Beach"

Very nice ocean front condo.  Clean and well equipped.  Perfect size for the four in our group.  We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck watching the waves and walking on the beautiful sugar sand beach.

"Fall Break"

This is an awesome condo.  There is nothing negative to say and more than you want to read about the good qualities!  So I'll try to stick to the most important things.  Very clean from top to bottom! More than enough plush comfy bath towels.  Kitchen has every appliance you will need, and then some.  Beds are all comfy! Ceiling fans and additional fans as well.  The balcony is huge with more than enough chairs.  The view is beautiful, can be seen from the master bedroom and the living room.  The owners even share their storage unit which has every beach item you might need.  Chairs, umbrella, even a tent!  We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this condo.  The grounds at The Dunes is great too.  The snack shop has food, ice, drinks of all kinds.  tThere are three pools. One was heated.  And the beach is just a couple steps away.  So much for keeping the review short!  We were thrilled to have found this condo and hope to be able to rent again in the future.
