Located right on the beach in the Top of the Gulf condo complex in beautiful Panama City Beach, this little rental will serve as the perfect home base while you focus on your outdoor activities and sightseeing. Pier Park is only seven miles away, and you'll also have easy access to many restaurants and clubs.

Great location for a quick getaway. Room was easily located to all the action. The pool was great, which I would have brought some charcoal to grill by the pool!

It was nice for a night. The room was clean. The beds were hard, not the most comfortable. Shower pressure was low. The check in process was a little difficult, due to the verification process. But overall, it was a pleasant stay.

The room was exactly as described! The complex was great! We could walk to dinner, grab ice cream and shop without even having to move the car!! That was a huge plus with the teenager that wanted to get away at the end of the night. Already trying to figure out when we can come back!!

room small (minor), however, bathroom needs help Complain to Vacassa that bathtub knob was broken. Husband able to temporary fix to be useable. No closets, but in storage room in our area there was a towel much like a broom handle to hang clothes. Shower was not clean, dirt in tub probably because of broken knob. Appeared that there had been a leek in rooms above because of bubble in ceiling over sink. Under sink was deplorable. Never anyone in office. By the window, it appeared to be broken tile. Building sadly needs help. Would not recommend the unit nor Vacassa. Will not be back. Light is needed by beds and directions on use of TV is needed.

Was very impressed with improvements and renovations made by from last year to this year internally and externally. I was thinkings last year that things were getting run down. The check in on first floor much better. Nicer appearance too.

Very outdated. Bathroom is very tiny, the bathtub is EXTREMELY slick and very dangerous. The iron was scorched, with a hole in the side of the water reserve, and no ironing board. My wife was blowing her hair dry on our last night and it tripped a breaker. There was no safety plug, so we had no way to reset the circuit. The property makes you wear a neon orange bracelet. First off, we were there on business and don’t need to look like we’ve been out clubbing before a business meeting. Secondly it’s NOVEMBER, and there were less than 15 cars in the parking lot. Not many drunk college kids wandering in to use the pool, and La Vela is closed. Don’t ask for more toilet paper……NOT RECOMMENDED

The beds were comfortable but it smelled like mold/ mildew in the room terribly!! You open the door and it hits you! The walls had bubbles behind the paint that you could push and it move. The entry way wall was dented in and felt wet. Gross. The bathroom was so small you could barely shut the door when you’re standing in there. The toilet barely flushed. The towel Area where they threw the towels was dirty and brown…. The building itself was great. The people here at the entry are nice and personable. The building and pool were nice definitely would go back to this building but to another room, I wouldn’t choose this room again that’s for sure..

Booked property for two nights. Before 8 a.m. on second day was informed by onsite property staff that I had 30 mins. to vacate the unit as the unit was scheduled to have the windows removed. Spent hours on the phone and running around to find a last minute place to stay. Property management was rude and less than helpful. Was able to get another unit, but was not beachfront. Onsite property staff stated emails have gone out weekly for past month reminding them of window replacement. This whole experience has left me a bit "gun shy" in booking future stays with this management company.

This room was very dirty. Had not been cleaned in a while. There was sand all over the floor when we arrived and there was sand all in the bed sheets. I know or a fact that the room had not been cleaned recently because there was someone's swimsuit at the top of the shower when we arrived.

I Was very happy with my stay the hotel had very nice smelling elevators and germx dispensers all around! this place was half the price of other places for beach view! overall we had a nice time and the room was ready early, we were surprised to see right outside of our door there was a balcony with seating to sit out and look at the beach as well as they provided chairs and an umbrella in the extra room if you forget it! there wasn’t a fitted sheet on our bed which could’ve been cleaning service and not actual owners issue!

We could not stay at your rental. After trying to get in room with the code given for over an hour, waiting on hold for 30 min and no one from your team answering, the local office lady gave us another code that worked but room had not been cleaned. It was nasty and I wouldnt have stayed there after seeing they shape it was in. Worst experience ever with a rental! Its now 7am the next day and we are in a hotel. 5 different emails, messages and Chats with no responce from the rental agency!

Top of Gulf is like my 2nd home. I stayed in Room 612 this time which was not the norm for me. Only one complaint though. The refrigerator never got cold enough and the air conditioner didn't cool good. But, overall it was a nice room!!
