The view from the balcony was breathtaking and we we didn’t want to leave at the end of our stay! The host was very accommodating and answered any questions we had prior to our arrival.

Amazing Stay!

The property is actually BETTER than advertised . This unit does not look like your typical rental. It’s very updated, modern, well maintained and incredibly clean. Owner was great with communication. We had no issues during the stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable. All the fixtures are high end. I have never seen a rental unit with such high end amenities. Impeccably kept - no scuffs on the walls, baseboards were squeaky clean. Accent lighting throughout. Great pre-visit communication from the owner prior to our visit. I would give it 10 stars but VRBO limits me to 5. We will stay with Gary again. He is awesome!

We were blown away with just everything about this property. The condo was fully stocked with everything we needed for a peaceful and enjoyable experience all around.

Beach Trip

We stopped at PCB for a few nights before heading down to St George Island. The condo was in excellent condition and beautifully decorated. We appreciated the extra touches such as beach towels for each guest and extra beach chairs. Would stay here again in the future and would highly recommend!

Great Condo

The condo has fantastic views and was both well appointed and very clean. We had an excellent stay and found the facilities folks to be very friendly. While we had a brief outage of the internet, it was resolved fully and quickly and did not impact our stay. We also love the location which is close to local favorites (restaurants, grocery stores) and also quiet enough to be relaxing.

Great place for adults. The decor is beautiful but not really practical. Very clean and stocked with everything you need for a few days stay! My grown daughter and I enjoyed our stay here very much! The owner, Gary was easy to get in touch with and very nice.would definitely stay here again! Oh btw hopefully you have a smaller car-the parking space is scary/cramped. Even with that said 5 stars.

Perfect!

We had a great stay. I think the condo is prettier than the pictures. It was probably too much room for my husband and I’s little getaway, but it was reasonably priced and on the “quiet” end of PCB. We loved having guaranteed parking with an assigned spot. Check in and check out was easy. It had everything we needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Amazing stay in PCB!

We had the best stay here over New Year's week! The condo was immaculate - hands down the cleanest rental we have ever stayed in - everything was spotless. The view from the balcony is beautiful and the beach is perfect. As others have mentioned, the rain shower in the master bath is very nice. Kitchen is very well stocked with anything one might need/want. I really appreciated having basics like dish soap, hand soap, paper towels, etc. provided. There were plenty of bath towels as well as beach towels. We would definitely stay again on a future trip to Panama City Beach!

Perfect vacation condo

This property surpassed all expectations in every way! All the reviews were spot on. We loved the condo so much! This was our first time staying at Tropical winds. Compared to other condominiums we’ve stayed at in PCB, we really liked this one because of the super fast elevators and convenient parking underneath. Saved so much time coming and going! I also LOVED having a reserved parking spot all week. Just little things that really helped make our stay more enjoyable. My teens loved the outdoor cornhole set. They played daily before heading to the beach. The pool is really nice because it is indoor and outdoor, so it’s great if you need to take some breaks from the sun. If we got too hot at the beach, we would come up and take a break at the pool. It was nice and refreshing. The beach service is also very nice to have! The young men working the beach service were all so nice and polite. The beach was beautiful and well kept. Also a lot less crowded than others we’ve been too. We didn’t have any issues during our stay, but did have a few random questions here and there and Gary was super responsive when I reached out. Definitely a wonderful place to stay!!!!

Best Condo On The Beach!

We have stayed in multiple condos in PCB trying to find the best one. We will be staying here from now on! This was by far the best condo that we have stayed in while at PCB. It is on the west side so you are able to escape most of the congestion that you find further down the beach. The condo itself was amazing. Gary shows that he cares about his property and his guests with this his attention to detail. This condo has everything you could need or want. Fully furnished kitchen with updated appliances. Bedrooms that are furnished with smart tv's, comfortable beds, and the best ceiling fans you could lay under. Living room and dining room that are furnished with current, great condition and comfortable furniture. The balcony has amazing views of the gulf and equipped with modern patio furniture that is also in great shape. We were able to sit and relax in the shade or watch as the storms rolled into the Gulf. The shower in the master bath... we will be remodeling our shower at home after this experience! The entire condo was updated and really made you feel like you were home. The facility itself was great also. Private parking with reserved spots and 3 elevators that actually work made getting to and from the room a breeze. We will definitely be staying here again!

Panama City Beach - One of the BEST

This is the third time we have stayed in one of the two units this Owner has on the 15th floor. At this height, you get a lot of privacy on the very large, well fitted deck, with excellent views of the entire ocean, from east to west, just amazing. Everything in the unit is top-notch, and works great. Amazing shower, you have to try this - water coming from four different heads, including the best rain-head EVER. Easy, but tight, parking in private garage below all units - no skyway bridge or road crossing to get into the units from your car. Three elevators, usually very quick access. Hot tub is hot, we didn't use the sauna, pool, or steam room, but have before. Never crowded beaches when we go (late sept-mid oct). If going during hurricane season, get the travel insurance, as you can only get refunds if there is a mandatory evacuation order issued. (we lucked out, Ian swerved east). Walking distance to Thomas Donuts to the west and a few bars, shops, restaurants including Buddy's Fish Market - the best place to get ruby red shrimp (the best) and grouper.
