Perfect for small, budget-conscious groups of friends, traveling business people, and families alike, this studio-style condo provides a great way to experience the Panama City Beach area! Let your stress melt away at this oceanfront condo in the Top of the Gulf community. You'll enjoy expansive views of the Gulf from the seventh floor of the complex, along with access to a shared pool, fitness center, game room, and more!

Located in Panama City Beach, you have beautiful white sand and waves right out your door, so you can spend as much time soaking up sun as you wish. There are plenty of restaurants and activities nearby, though, when you need a break from the rays.

The condo itself is bright, with a wall of windows open to the ocean, and will comfortably sleep a small family of four or a close group of friends. With just one large room, you'll have plenty of bonding time without feeling crowded, as the room is spread out nicely and mirrors line one of the walls to add extra depth.

A large queen bed is the centerpiece of the room, and with a sleeper sofa across from it that sleeps two, a total of four guests are welcome here. You have plenty of lounging choices between the couch, the wicker chairs by the window, the dining table, and the kitchen bar. During downtime, you might fit four around the table for a friendly game of cards, or turn on the cable TV and watch a DVD, which is visible to the whole room.

In the kitchen, you'll enjoy full amenities for cooking meals, and a dishwasher ensures you waste no time cleaning up. There's a full bath in the condo with a shower/tub combo for freshening up and washing off the salt. Enjoy the peace of disconnecting temporarily, as WiFi is not provided in the rental itself - it is, however, available in a comfortably furnished common room on the first floor of the complex.

A vacation in the Sunshine State would not be complete without plenty of time in the sun, which is made easy by the pool and the beautiful beach just beyond. Enjoy relaxing in lounge chairs in the sand, playing shuffleboard or beach volleyball with friends, renting a jet ski to race across the Gulf, or signing up for a boat tour to catch a glimpse of dolphins!

For more adventure, head five miles south to St. Andrews State Park for pristine emerald waters in which to swim, snorkel, scuba dive, fish, and kayak. There is plenty of hiking here to enjoy, as well. Six miles away, you'll find the Pier Park mall for plenty of shopping options, and Miracle Strip Amusement Park next door for dizzying fun.

The nightlife is a fun scene in Panama City‚ hit up Spinnaker Beach Club & Paradise Grill for dinner, and then one of the many popular clubs afterwards for some dancing - all just a short walk down the beach. Other restaurants to try include Front Porch, Firefly, and David's New Orleans Style Sno-Balls for some delicious meals.

Whatever you hope for in a Florida vacation, you'll find it here at this oceanfront condo in Panama City Beach - Book today!

I did not have the information I needed to check in. I called the customer service, she could not help. It was late and raining. I found Bikini Beach open with vacancies, checked in there. Customer service informed me no refund. I entered my vehicle on line, she said we would have to park on the street. Never use Vacasa again.

Excellent view, not the best room.
The property in itself is awesome. Right on the beach, pool, snack bar (food and alcohol), and the room has a nice view facing the ocean. However, we stayed three nights and were unable to remove a bad smell similar to mildew/body odor. We lit candles and used room spray but we’re still unsuccessful. The bathroom has an exposed water heater under the sink surrounded by jagged wooden trim. The bed is on wheels and very firm. Overall, this is not a bad place for a budget friendly trip, but just know there ARE much much nicer units in this resort building.

Would stay here again
Everything was exactly as advertised online. The view from our room was amazing. The pool was clean and had plenty of seating. The kitchen was stocked with cookware and appliances. I recommend bringing/buying toilet paper. We were supplied with 2 rolls of cheap kind & had to buy more. As for pull out bed, its just a foam topper, no mattress. It worked for our small kids but for older kids & up it'd be very uncomfortable. We were satisfied & check in/out was so easy!!

Amazing view!
The view is amazing, the location was too! We were minutes away from so much!! But…the bed killed our back. We went to Walmart and got a $20 padded mattress topper and it helped (leaving it for future renters) but the bed makes noise everytime you turn over. And the condo itself needs a facelift. Especially the bathroom, the tile by the window and the electrical outlets. For a couple of nights stay it was worth it, but if I’d been here a week I would’ve been very disappointed.

It was a nice area but the room was completely different compared to the pictures and the floors was nasty as well as the shower and the pull out couch. We also were able to see other peoples rooms and they were much much nicer than our room. Way more up to date and cleaner!

Wasn’t clean and was in need of repairs
There was someone’s hair in the tub and a poorly done patch on the tub that looked like duct tape, the cooking utensils on the counter were covered in dust. I was not asked for ID when checking in, they just took my word on the condo number and the duration of my stay. Didn’t verify if I was actually the person that booked the condo. I travel to Panama City Beach about 8 times a year and have for several years. That was by far the worst condo I have ever stayed in. The security is horrible. I never saw the gate guards leave the guard shack. Didn’t even check to see if we have a permit to be on the property and lobby doors are either propped open or unlocked. I am not a super picky person and over look lots of stuff I know the owners live far away and pay someone to take care of their property. These folks are getting ripped off bad. They are paying someone to do nothing. I did not speak to the property manager

Great for a short visit
As most rental condos go, there aren’t all of the gadgets that you have at home, but the basics are there. There isn’t a balcony, so be aware of that. A lot of the comments in the bad reviews have been fixed. The bed is comfy. It was a firm, but comfy. I’m only 5’7”, and the shower head is at my neck, so be prepared to squat to wash your hair. the stove and oven work, but the hood and lights do not. If I had a complaint, it would be this for sure. We like to cook and this was not acceptable. We tried new light bulb and that didn’t help. So there’s something wrong. The floors needed to be mopped, but overall this is a great place for a short stay.

Awesome view but the room could have been better prepared
Amazing view of the ocean however the bathroom was fairly off putting, below the water heater the trim was coming off and the floor was dirty. There were also some stains on the towels. The most frustrating thing was that the Wi-Fi did not work. The tv in the room did not work, when you turned it on the picture was static. An hour and a half before our checkout time which was supposed to be 10am the fire alarms started going off and did not stop for an hour. We had to rush to leave the hotel without showers or properly gathering our things. The number to contact someone regarding our concerns was an automated line that rang endlessly.

Nice property and location
The condo was as stated . Comfy bed and views were amazing from the windows and balconies right outside condo. A few more electrical outlets or another power cord on the left nite stand would be nice and extra toilet paper. The beach is right there and the gift shop is very cute too. We would definitely stay again

It only has the location to go for it
Place was not cleaned. We had an early check in allowed but still didn’t show up till 2:00. About 30 min in a housekeeper rushed in said she didn’t expect us to be there? (Lack of communication?) and quickly wiped down a window. And left. The floors were so filthy, the bathroom was filthy, and not finished to clean. No extra linens that made sense. They left two flat sheets, and two pillows, however the pullout couch had none that would fit it. The picture in this listing isn’t what you’re going to get either just heads up. And don’t expect to cook in unit. The stove, is a melted hot mess. None of the outlets work. Fan and light doesn’t work. The other outlets are painted over can’t charge phones. Good luck with the tv also. Front desk lady was a bit over the top. $20 fee is cash only if you can hunt them down to pay it. The view was great, location is great and property is perfect. But the unit. Complete overhaul needed. A few hundred bucks could go a long way.

Sufficient but not spectacular
It’s a dated unit with very few frills. While there are cooking utensils/pots and pans, there isn’t any basics like salt/pepper. There’s a sink, but no dish soap. There’s a toilet, but only one role of TP. Speaking of the bathroom, the toilet did not sit flush with the floor. It definitely needs a remodel/refresh. The floors were grimy feeling and the unit smelled like smoke as you walked in. (Which could have been from a neighboring room.) The overall complex is nice and taken care of pretty well. The view is great and the access to the pool/beach was simple and straightforward. We enjoyed our stay well enough but definitely won’t return.

VERY MISLEADING!!
We stayed in room 723 at Top of the Gulf. It started of by the blinds not opening up so we could have a view of the gulf. Next the head board is not even connected to the bed and a door nob is in the back of your head if sitting up in the bed., mold on the shower curtain, all the caulking in the bathroom is molded and nasty, sink was not clean, we were scared to use the stove in the kitchen (looks like it had caught on fire and someone painted over it), cracks in several of the tiles on the floor(note on the refrigerator said remove shoes- we were scared we would get a cut on our feet if we did). I have pictures of all of this. Will never stay here again!!!!!!!

Nothing like pictures
I was super excited with the price of this property. When the cleaning fee is higher than the room rate you would expect a clean room. It wasn’t. The pictures are not from the room we stayed in. The bed was a full size and barely standing. The bathroom was disgusting. Dated I can deal with, dirty I cannot. There were still groceries in the fridge from whoever stayed before us. Blinds were missing so there was no privacy and as soon as the sun came up, we were up. Upon arrival I opened the blinds to find 3 construction workers standing on a scaffold in our window. There was no balcony. The pictures show chairs sitting on what appears to be a balcony, but this is a public area outside of the elevators. There is absolutely no way I would stay at this property again. Do better with your advertising.

Roof over our head
This was exactly what we were looking for to have a roof over our head in close proximity to the beach. This is a great location and the pool and beach area are excellent. As far as the room don't have the highest expectations or you will be disappointed, but as far as it being a place to sleep it is ok. There was an odor in the room sort of like cat urine or mold, but air fresheners helped with that. Also, if you plan on using the let out couch bring your own linens because there wasn't any to be found in the room. You will also have to scoot the bed over a little bit to allow the sleeper couch out. All in all, this room will protect you from the elements...but don't expect too much more than that. The property and common areas are nice and in an excellent location.

Good for what we paid.
Check in was easy. The condo looks nothing like the picture other than the walls and windows. Pillows on bed were flat and one had mildew. I went and bought new ones at Walmart for my stay. I always bring my own bedding but forgot my pillows. The comforter was white ND had a yellow pee like stain on it.. The bed skirt was also white and dirty.. It is outdated. Needs a good overall detailed cleaning. Drawers had debris. Dishes had stuff left on them. We just washed before we used. Had some maintenance issues that needed to be address. Walls in bathroom bubbling. Tub had some black tar like substance in part of it. Everything looked like maybe it had been spot cleaned. The overall building was older but was nice. Pool was awesome. Would stay again if issues taken care of and updated.
