THE MINIMUM AGE LIMIT FOR RENTING THIS CONDOMINIUM IS 25 YEARS.

This listing is for UNIT #8 at Bonita Beach, a 1st floor (lower), 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, condo.

These owners also own UNIT #20 in the 20-unit Bonita Beach complex, which is a 2nd floor (upper), END (CORNER) unit in the same complex, also 3-bedroom and 3-bathroom with spectacular views of the ocean (VRBO Listing No. 889898). It may be available when UNIT #8 is not available.

Bonita Beach UNIT #8 is a 1650 square foot, 1st floor (lower), open concept, 3-bedroom, 3-full bathroom, condominium, and is a luxurious unit just steps from the beach in this very sought after vacation destination. Located directly on the 'World's Most Beautiful Beaches' in Panama City Beach, and just yards away from the Bonita Beach community pool, no detail in this condominium has been overlooked. From the moment a guest enters the condominium, he or she will be comfortably surrounded by the feeling of total luxury. Notwithstanding, guests will soon come to their senses as the emerald waters of the Gulf, and the adjacent pristine sugar white sandy beaches, beckon them. Whether it is their first visit or an annual one, guests come to this condominium for a memorable vacation, which keeps them coming back year after year.

The designers of this condominium have tastefully decorated every area for comfort and appeal to the senses of relaxation. Whether preparing a meal in the gourmet kitchen for dinner with family and friends, or enjoying the condominium inside or out, your dining experience will be one to remember. The generous deck is perfect for watching the sunsets or enjoying a relaxing afternoon with favorite beverages. The main living room area has an open concept with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico through numerous floor-to-ceiling windows. The bedrooms are designed to ensure a peaceful night's sleep with all the modern conveniences of home after a day of sun and fun. The deck is equipped for entertaining with bar height chairs that fit neatly under the counter- topped railings to make all outdoor experiences relaxing and convenient.

The beaches are just steps away from the deck. There is an outdoor shower at the base of the stairs to wash off the salt and sand prior to returning to a personal paradise inside of the condominium.

For fire safety, this condo has a 5-pound 5BC multipurpose fire extinguisher professionally installed in the kitchen pantry that is annually maintained by Advanced Fire Protection Services, Inc.

2024 PC Trip

We come and visit Panama City Beach each year. Through the years … our family has been up and down the beach … staying at different locations. This place ranks at the top for location … steps from the beach and the condo stay was great. Neighbors were friendly. We look forward to coming back next summer.

Nice property

This property is in a great location. The access to the beach from the back balcony is fantastic. There are plenty of dishes to allow cooking meals etc. We went during the off season which was great for crowding but pretty hot. Still the best time to go I think. Loved the place and plan on going back.

Right on the beach

We had small grand kids so the condo bring right on the beach really help us going back & forth. The gulf water was so clear & clean. We only had 2 out of 6 days of double red flags. Our party was comprised of 6 adults, 3 small kids and a Maltese. The ice makers were lacking so we just bought ice. The unit’s A/C was great! The kitchen was equip with many items that my wife appreciated. There are many seafood restaurants close by, putt putt and a movie theater, a Dave & Busters, which we enjoyed. We will probably be back as this location is hard to beat!

Beachside

The property is as advertised. Right on beach with easy access to beach off back patio. Management is responsive and easy to contact. If you need any flexibility with checkin/checkout there is none provided or with leaving bags on patio while housekeeping cleans. Overall good place but not walkable to much in regards to restaurants however kitchen fully stocked for cooking. They seem to have some electrical problems as one outlet under couch burned out and AC lost power while we were there and needed replacing. The checkout procedures are a bit stressful as I’m used to starting dishwasher but we had to wait till finished and unload as well as towels to dry in dryer.

Can't beat the location

My family loved the condo and you just can't beat being ON THE BEACH, but the parking situation will keep us from going back. Each condo only is allowed one spot that is assigned and maybe 3 guest spots for the entire complex. We felt barraged with complaints going back and forth for days because we would be forced to park in another spot since someone was in ours. We shouldn't feel stressed to drive to dinner, worrying what do we do if our spot is taken upon our return? Make it a parking lot - period - and we'll be back. Also the non-working dishwasher was a disappointment.

Do it

If this property is available, don’t hesitate, just book. The beach was beautiful and not crowded because there is no competition with the high rise condos. The kitchen is stocked with literally everything you could need and there are roku tvs in all the rooms. The porch is large with ample seating. The porch closet was stocked with all your beach chairs, toys etc and we really didn’t need to bring anything.

About the host

Hosted by Roberta L. Hastreiter-Heady

Host profile image
This condo is privately owned by Aimee and Michael Farrell (shown in photo), and is managed by Roberta L. Hastreiter-Heady, who also owns two condominiums at Bonita Beach, and three condominiums in Panama City Beach. Aimee and Roberta have been best friends since they were three years old, when they grew up across the street from each other in Northbrook, Illinois.

Roberta is an intellectual property attorney who lives in Johns Creek, Georgia, and graduated from Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN).

Very personal service is provided directly between Roberta and guests that book this condo. She tries to be available for all guests at all times, and she and Aimee and Mike try to keep both Unit #8 and Unit #20 in a top condition.

Why they chose this property

This condominium is on the first (lower) floor, having a location that is particularly suited for children, the elderly and a small dog. It is just yards away from the Bonita Beach community pool, and is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It is right on the beach, and has magnificent views of the ocean from many rooms located inside of the condo (kitchen, dining room, living room and hallway), as well as from the deck. Guests can sit on the deck and watch their children play in the sand on the beach and/or swim in the ocean.

What makes this property unique

This condo is in walking distance to "Thomas Doughnuts and Snack Shop," a very well-known restaurant that has a wide variety of different filled and non-filled fresh doughnuts every morning, as well as many breakfasts and lunches, and an attached ice cream parlor that has many different types of hand-dipped ice cream (cups and cones), sundays, splits, milk shakes, and floats. This is a great attraction for guests.
