Great Get a Way
Clean and decorated very cute! Nice of hosts to have a closet full of recreation equipment! (Shuffle board, tennis, Mini golf, as well at beach things, surf boards, buckets, shovels, nets, rafts, beach umbrella, beach chairs! Everything you need! Location has a variety of fun places to see and eat! Kitchen was well stock with all you needed to cook in. It was also great to have both a washer and a dryer in the unit..as we stayed a month. Most FL places only have a washer or shared pay washers and dryer on a certain floor. The owners kept in touched to make sure everything was going well! Would definitely recommend.

Great location but not clean
Owner responded quickly to small issue we had. Close to the beach and pools. Downfall was that the condo was not clean. Also, the beach house was closed for the entire time I was there (2 months). I felt the condo was overpriced considering.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Tipps

Host profile image
My wife and I have three wonderful kids who keep us pretty busy. We love being able to volunteer at their schools, coach their sports teams, and hang out with friends. We live in central Indiana, where, in the summer, we can go from getting stuck following a tractor on a country road to watching racecars speed around Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 230 MPH!

Why they chose this property

My family and I love traveling to the beach. There's nothing more relaxing than having your toes in the sand and listening to the waves crash. We purchased our home in Panama City Beach to allow others to experience how wonderful beach life is!

What makes this property unique

Gulf Highlands Beach Resort is a gated community in the heart of Panama City Beach. Enjoy private beach access, a beach front restaurant with a pool (currently closed and undergoing renovations), mini golf, a playground, tennis courts, and shuffleboard courts, all within the resort. There are 11 pools within the resort, so why not try a new pool each day!
