  • Pelican patiently waits for some fish scraps from the user of a man cleaning his fish. There are 2 piers in Panama and both cost $3 to walk them. The one closest to Pier Park is further out into the Gulf so it's more worth it if you can only do 1 pier. They do stamp your hand so you can go on and off it all day. On the pier a lot of people fish so watch for them hooks. From what I was told to fish in Florida you need a salt water and a fresh water licence in order to fish in the different waters. There are also signs posted on the pier about how to handle a situation if sea turtles get caught.

Nice Little Townhouse

Location of the property was fantastic. 5 minute walk to the beach through the property grounds. The extra beach items were a plus when traveling with kids. Wagon, cooler and toys. Umbrella needed a little help...Communication with the host was super and check in process was easy. Had a few minor hitches at the property but nothing that would have me recommend someone not stay. Informed Steve of these things just in the event this was a housekeeping issue. Overall pleased with our stay.

Clean and tidy

This condo was clean and well maintained. Well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed borrowing the beach wagon. However, I felt it was overpriced in comparison others within the community and doing research.

Great location but not clean

Owner responded quickly to small issue we had. Close to the beach and pools. Downfall was that the condo was not clean. Also, the beach house was closed for the entire time I was there (2 months). I felt the condo was overpriced considering.

Nice place

Overall it wasn’t bad. But the distance to the beach is further than told and you can’t rent golf carts and use them on the property unless they come from the property. We didn’t know that ahead of time and booked a golf cart with an outside source causing us to have to do a lot of extra stuff to be able to use the golf cart.

Great Get a Way

Clean and decorated very cute! Nice of hosts to have a closet full of recreation equipment! (Shuffle board, tennis, Mini golf, as well at beach things, surf boards, buckets, shovels, nets, rafts, beach umbrella, beach chairs! Everything you need! Location has a variety of fun places to see and eat! Kitchen was well stock with all you needed to cook in. It was also great to have both a washer and a dryer in the unit..as we stayed a month. Most FL places only have a washer or shared pay washers and dryer on a certain floor. The owners kept in touched to make sure everything was going well! Would definitely recommend.
