  • 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.

Great long weekend getaway

Really enjoyed our stay. Very clean property for wife and our little furry friend. Enjoyed the sand and shopping around the area. Made a little day trip to Seaside. We wished for more sun and an open tiki bar onsite :) it must have been closed for the season.

Perfect Stay

Emerald Overlook completely exceeded my expectations. The condo was very clean and functional for a week long stay. Getting to the beach using the sky bridge was very easy and only took a couple of minutes to reach the beautiful beach. The location of the condo was great, just minutes away from restaurants and shopping. We will definitely be staying here again!

Awesome

We are seniors and this condo was convenient to everything. Pool was steps away as well as the elevator to the parking garage and lobby. The view from the large deck gives a beautiful overlook of the ocean. The condo is very clean and comfortable. Overall it is the best condo we have rented and if we make it back to Panama City we will definitely try to stay there again.

Perfect place for families. Rooftop pool just around corner

Very happy with everything that my contact Ruth Carter had done during the entire booking process. Professional in every step including my stupid questions. Would highly recommend using her! Condo was perfect. Close to everything including the beach, right across the street. Very clean and it had everything that you would need. Check in was very smooth. Outstanding trip!

Awesome Snowbird stay for 2nd year in a row!

We are recently home from what seems like our “home away from home”. Can’t say enough great things about Emerald Overlook…clean, comfortable, awesome balcony and views, fully stocked kitchen, same floor as gym and heated pool. And best of all it’s pet friendly so I (Indy) can come too! The pool deck is a great place to catch famous PCB sunsets. The Grand Panama Resort staff keeps everything clean and is in a great location for shopping, restaurants, activities and groceries. Ruth is a great host and I’m excited that we are booked with her for next year.

Beautiful and quiet condo

Emerald Overlook far exceeded our expectations! Ruth was so very accommodating and personal. We were celebrating our honeymoon, so Ruth gifted us with red wine and bottled water, petals and candles on the bed, and candles on the kitchen counter around the wine and water, plus a “Congratulations” banner. Such a personal and loving touch to our stay. The condo has an amazing view of the beach and ocean on the patio where we spent a lot of time. The condo is simply lovely and so comfortable. We will definitely be back for a relaxing and restful stay!

Absolutely perfect!

Great communication by owner. Clean condo. Gym facilities across the hall, pool/hot tub steps away. Door in front of elevators. Beach accessories (wagon, chairs, toys) already there! The condo is not directly on the beach, but you feel like it. You’re on the beach in minutes. Great place for small pets too due to convenience of elevators so close. Recommend!!!

Let’s talk about the actual condo….CLEAN and AIRY!! I loved the decor, the bathrooms and the bedroom. LOVE!! The cutest touch were the two bunk beds and we were also able to bring our pets for a small fee and they had a blast as well. The patio….*CHEF’S KISS. Will we back??!! YEPPER!!!!

Very satisfied it is as advertised

Great location very clean and felt like home. It's hard to find a clean pet friendly location. I'm very picky and our shitzu is like our child. He gets groomed regularly so if it smells like pet I will not stay. Equipped with more than you need I was really surprised. Ruth keeps this condo as if her home. Very satisfied and definitely will rent again. 🌞🌝

5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!!!

The condo was very neat and clean. I felt like I was at home. Kitchen was fully stock with everything you would need to cook with pots, pans, etc. The view of the ocean was fabulous and relaxing to say it was across the street. You had a direct view of the ocean. The condo was pet friendly but you couldn't tell that a pet was in there. Pictures online don't do this condo any justice. It is very pretty in person and Ruth is very easy to work with. She answered all my questions before I arrived and the check in process is simple and easy. I will be back soon!!

Nice condo

Overall the condo was great beautiful decor. Comfortable king bed. Only a few minor things the balcony was not clean lots of sand from prior renters, the water coming out bathroom and kitchen faucets warm not hot, shower was fine. Nice big balcony with good view of beach/water. The adirondak chairs were my fav spot to sit esp later in the day when balcony shaded. The other outdoor furniture needs updating. Host was excellent and quick to respond. The condo main office had sporadic coverage at the desk so getting parking pass and pool bracelets may be challenging. Overall very good condo and nothing that would prevent me from renting again.

Birthday Surprise!

This was my husband’s 60th birthday present. He had NO idea where we were going. I got him in the car on a false pretense we were going to see family in Alabama. When we pulled into the property parking he was shocked. We spent our time between the beach and pool. It was beautiful, beyond clean- there was never a time I was out of the room I didn’t see someone cleaning. The grounds were perfect for walking our dog. The dog park was a great idea. The condo we stayed in was superb- kuddos Ruth. There was a blonde woman in the general store who doted on our dog - Bernie Sanders. She even brought treats for him. The property is quiet. Everything was convenient and easy to get to. My husband said it was his best birthday ever!
