Pier Park Penthouse, Beach Setups, Top 5%
My family had a great experience staying at Jennifer’s Airbnb. The condo was spacious and conveniently located right across the street from the beach. Here are some other notable highlights: 1. Amazing Location & View - Being a block away from Pier Park was so convenient 2. Pedestrian Bridge to the Beach - Avoid crossing busy traffic, and air-conditioned the whole way. 3. Elevator access right outside the door – No bugs or hot air every time you opened the door. Never had to wait, and the elevator traveled 23 floors in seconds. 4. Pool - There was always space, no matter the time of day. Heated pool and poolside bar were also nice. 5. Beach Setup – The designated area for Tower 3 was much less crowded than the 1 & 2. We could still grab a front-row umbrella setup at any time of the day. Beyond all that, Jennifer was an excellent host—super responsive, getting back to us within minutes whenever we had a question. She made the entire process easy.

CALYPsO ROmanCE FREE Beach/Umbrella Setup! 3-1004
My family and I had the most amazing few days in Panama City. We loved this Airbnb. It was clean. Had a beautiful view. We loved emerald hub downstairs we had breakfast there a few times and we also got poolside lunch! The little tiki bar outside by the pool was great as well. The kids got snow cones. We got drinks, which were delicious. It was definitely a convenient walk to the beach. Easy check-in for the chairs! We will definitely be back!

Luxury Beach Retreat. Large 2 bed/2 bath +laundry!
The condo appeared to have been recently remodeled and the remodel was done wonderfully. The decor was just the right amount to give a cozy beach atmosphere. The floor to ceiling windows in each bedroom and living space offered gorgeous up close ocean/beach views. The provided beach chairs are VERY NICE and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need for preparing/enjoying meals. There was a good selection of pillows and blankets available as well as fans. I especially appreciated that there were no steps/stairs to the beach. The grounds were kept clean and nicely landscaped. The lagoon pool was too chilly to enjoy during our stay, but the pool closest to the building was the perfect temperature and offered plenty of lounge chairs. Overall it was a relaxing, peaceful stay.

Amazing Beachfront Studio, Beach Service Included!
The condo was as advertised ans more super convenient location, very nice and cozy condo with amazing views from the 9th floor

Soak up the Sun, Sand, Sea at a Beachfront Studio
Amazing stay!!! I love the privacy this location has, car passes were checked every single time we came in so it keeps out people who aren’t actually staying on property. Elevators were always fast. Beach chairs included made it so much easier too!

Brand New Lux Condo w/3 Pools
This condo is immaculate!! Everything was top notch for us. Easy to check in and out, beautiful upscale beach design and great layout for a family with little ones. The beds were super comfortable, the view of the sunset was amazing, the pools sparkled, the bar and cafe were oh so yummy! We all took advantage of the on site snow cone booth on the way to and from the beach! Don’t think twice, just BOOK it NOW and go enjoy yourself!

NEW! Beachfront-Best Ocean Views from 22d FL Condo
The view was absolutely amazing and the studio was clean with beautiful decor.

“At Last” Luxury BeachFront/FREE chairs/umbrella
The most beautiful place!!!!! It’s even better in person than in the pictures! View is breathtaking and had me running to the balcony in the morning to see the view. Watching the sunset in the evening was one of our favorite things to do. The space was HUGE - way bigger than expected, extremely clean, and everything you would need for a stay. Everything is close and walkable. So many amenities, great gym, included parking, and chairs and umbrella. Truly the best experience we’ve had at an air bnb. We hope to visit often! The hosts very clear instructions and responsiveness made check in and the entire process beyond easy. There were tons of recommendations and our only regret was not booking longer! One of a kind stay!

Starfish Wishes ~.7 from beach ~Sleeps 5 ~PetsOk
This is a great place to stay, close to everything and you feel like your home. Alicia and John are super host and do what it takes to make your stay as great as possible. We will definitely be making this our PCB spot to vacay from now on.

Sea Sound Escape 10 Min Walk To Beach, Frank Brown
Great place had a fantastic time. Will definitely stay again. I highly recommend it.

Sleeps 10 | Heated Pool | Game room | steps 2 bch
Our vacation was wonderful and everything we expected. From the pristine heated pool to the comfort of the inside pool table when it rained. We found the accommodations clean, comfortable and exactly as described. The large well appointed kitchen was everything we needed and more. The host was most responsive to our needs and we will definitely save this property on our keepers list.

Walk to Beach! Hot Tub! King Bed! Fall Specials!
Great place, easy walk to the beach, nothing fancy but quite comfortable with all necessary amenities and fenced backyard.

Malibu Palms at the Beach
It was great place for vacation. Thank you Ron&Yolie

Palms by the Beach House with pool!
I can not say enough good about Wendy and her home to do her justice. Everything was absolutely beautiful! Wendy’s home is very clean and well stocked with anything you need. The beds are very comfy and the rest of the home is cozy as well. We felt right at home. The pictures are exactly what you get. The yard is well maintained and very private. I am very picky when it comes to where my grandchildren stay. However, I would definitely stay here again. Wendy was very responsive and kind. She even checked on us during our stay to make sure we didn’t need anything. 10/10 recommend! Best host ever!

1886 Historic Home - Catherine’s View by the Bay
Wow—what an incredible stay we had this weekend in St. Andrews! This has easily been our favorite Airbnb experience to date. Jennifer was an absolute gem—so helpful with everything from restaurant recommendations to helping us find beach access. The location is charming, with tons of great spots to eat just a short walk away. The home itself was spotless, beautifully designed, and full of thoughtful touches. We will definitely be back!

Classic cottage in the Cove
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elizabeth’s Cottage was exactly what I needed for a recent work trip—clean, comfortable, quiet, and just as advertised! From the moment I booked, Elizabeth’s communication was prompt and helpful. She’s kind, respectful, and went above and beyond to accommodate a few convenience requests I had. It really made a difference. LOCATION: You really can’t beat it. Situated in the St. Andrew Bay Area, it’s just a 5-minute drive down Beach Dr to a park with gorgeous sunset views over the bay. Whether you’re heading into Panama City Proper, Sweet Bay, or Lynn Haven, this location lets you avoid the traffic and tourist chaos. Bonus: Each evening when I came “home” from meetings, I was greeted by a friendly orange tabby cat on the porch. I’m usually a dogs-only guy, but I have to admit—it was pretty nice. Highly recommend.

Huge balcony! 5th floor! Beach service included!
This was a wonderful trip to PCB. Kimberly was wonderful to deal with and so quick to respond to any questions. The condo had just about everything we needed. Kimberly was so thoughtful with little touches like a few snacks upon arrival and was so nice to have things like extra toilet paper, plenty of paper towels and even some laundry pods. You can tell she really put thought into the small details. Lots of towels both for the bathrooms and for the pool was so helpful. The condo was walkable to many places and having chair service included was a HUGE plus. We lived on the very spacious balcony. The view was incredible and even for it being a holiday week it felt pretty quiet. Would definitely recommend!

Open dates heavily discounted 6/10-6/14 Tower 4
The condo had a beautiful view. It was very clean, had all the essentials, and we felt right at home. 10/10.

Ocean Watch @ The Continental *114
Absolutely fantastic stay! Everything was spotless – the kitchen, bathroom, and bed were incredibly clean and comfortable. The beach access just a short walk away was perfect, and having beach chairs, umbrellas, and parking right at the door was a big plus! Sarah was such a thoughtful host — she even gave us an anniversary gift. We felt so welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this place!

Renovated Resort Condo w/ Free Golf Cart, 11 Pools
Enjoyed our stay very much! Top place we’ve stayed in PCB. Host was very helpful and responsive. The golf cart was a huge bonus we really enjoyed!

Gulf-front Condo w/direct beach access in PCB, FL
Felt like a home away from home beautiful view, host was very responsive. walking distance from one of the best restaurants in pcb.

Splash Beachfront 7th floor
We had an amazing time staying at Roxie’s Airbnb. Roxie was incredibly responsive host. The place was clean, well decorated and safe for our 2 toddlers. The apartment had everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to the ocean and had a variety of pools and jacuzzi. I would definitely go back to this place again and recommend it for anyone who wants to visit the area.

Jewel on the Gulf! Sunbird 305W. 3rd floor B unit!
Wonderful place to stay. We’ve stayed in PCB in the past, but this was our favorite. Between the wonderful inside with big windows and balcony that faced the beach and the beach being a little less crowded outside of our complex, it was well worth the rate and everything was right nearby. Parking and all was simple and they even had chairs and an umbrella rented for us. Very easy beach access and the balcony allows you to feel like you’re right on the beach. Wonderful hosts that were very responsive and accommodating

Huge Balcony Beach Front! Gulf Views!
Just as advertised- million dollar view for sure!!! The balcony alone and being on the second floor in this low rise condo building sells this place! We enjoyed breakfast and lunch from the balcony everyday. The condo has everything you could possibly need or desire! Additionally, the location is spectacular and definitely on the quieter side of PCB but close enough to restaurants and activities. Thank you for sharing this phenomenal place with us!

Your guide to Panama City Beach
Introduction
Welcome to Florida’s Panhandle paradise, where the sand is bone white and and the fish-filled gulf is a translucent shade of emerald. Though “PCB” has also become legendary for its Spring Break vacationers, sunbathers and watersports enthusiasts of all ages flock here for the 27 miles of shoreline, and divers are rewarded with shipwrecks, coral formations, and artificial reefs galore.
The bustling streets are lined with tourist shops, miniature amusement parks, and seafood restaurants, but the city’s landscape is largely dominated by high-rise resorts and condos, along with five undulating golf courses. And while the area was hit hard by Hurricane Michael in 2018, a recovery is under way and the natural attractions remain awe-inspiring while vacationers continue booking trips here.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Panama City Beach
Prepare to get toasty. This region receives an average of 320 days of sunshine each year, with temperatures usually ranging from 47 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit. The months of May through October offer particularly warm days, with the breeze off the Gulf of Mexico helping to cool things down a bit. In the winter the warm Gulf water helps keep the coast from getting too chilly (the water temperature ranges from the low 60s in the winter to the high 80s in summertime).
It’s hard to go wrong at Panama City Beach weatherwise, as long as you’ve packed a sunhat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a swimsuit, and a pair of flip-flops (which will definitely help you feel like a Floridian). Don’t forget to stay hydrated!
Top things to do in Panama City Beach
St. Andrews State Park
Escape PCB’s high-rises on this natural stretch of seafront with 1,200 acres of pristine coastal habitat, nature trails, and calm seas. Adventures in kayaks and canoes are popular, as are diving and snorkeling trips. You can also spot Florida’s famously toothy reptile in Gator Lake. Reel in some big fish off the piers, then eat them for lunch.
Shell Island
This barrier island is only accessible from the mainland by boat, but this seven-mile stretch of undeveloped seashore — which is also part of St. Andrews State Park — is an absolute dream for sunbathing, snorkeling, and kayaking. You’ll definitely spy some colorful fish and conch shells on the beach here, and if you’re lucky, a dolphin or a sea turtle.
Shipwrecks
Panama City Beach has been nicknamed the “Wreck Diving Capital of the South” and indeed, sunken tugboats and warships are common in these waters. Divers’ favorites include the 185-foot Black Bart (an oilfield supply ship), the 441-foot World War II Liberty Ship, and the “Twin Tugs” — a pair of tugboats that have become conjoined over time. Pick up the Florida Panhandle Shipwreck Trail Passport from a local dive shop and earn a stamp for each wreck you explore.
