The unit was so cute and well equipped with everything we needed. We had 2 small dogs with us, and the area outside the unit was perfect for them. There was a nice area to be able to take them for a short walk. Good restaurants around us, and the dog friendly beach was not far away.

The location was great, easy to walk to almost everything. You can even walk to the grocery store if you don't mind a couple miles round trip but it is an easy walk. The w all to the beach is also very easy and short. The complex is very clean and well kept. Everyone at the complex was very friendly. Did have to figure out how to set the hold temp on the smart thermostate to keep the temp from changing during our stay but other than that we had no issues.

We had a lovely stay at Kim’s property. From making the reservation to check out she was a delight to work with. She answered any and all questions we had. Unit is clean and very comfortable. The walk to the beach takes about 2 minutes. The added bonus of beach lounge chairs and umbrella being provided was so nice. Will be back!

Kimberly was a wonderful host! Easy to follow instructions. Answered all my questions quickly and then was hands off. Perfection!The location was great. There's a lot going on outside the complex, but once insde the interior of the Sugar Beach complex you experience quiet serenity. The beach was gorgeous and the included chairs and umbrella were so appreciated. The ponds look dismal from the sky shots in the listing but in person they are beautiful and relaxing. My kids loved the turtles, fish, cranes. Ping pong, drinks, and snacks in the clubhouse were great. Pool was clean. We loved the deep end. The unit itself was a little rough around the edges but so worth it for such great beach access. Showers worked great, comfy beds (king on the softer side, queen more medium). Pullout was fine for a young kid but thin mattress. Dog friendly was awesome. 4 showers at the beach exit. Tons of space on the beach and even with two bigger hotels next store still felt spacious. We're snorkeling junkies so St. Andrews park was incredible!!! Best beach snorkeling we've experienced yet. Thousands of colorful fish. Crabs, one sting ray (don't worry!), my kids saw a manatee!

Not too long of a walk to the beach. Pool was always crowded but we did go in July so that’s probably considered a peak month. No steps out from back door but there were steps to get into front door and traveling with senior dogs plus my senior mother we weren’t really anticipating that when we read ground level. Plenty of towels and pans were provided; I always bring my own and this is the first condo I’ve stayed at to where technically speaking I didn’t need to bring my own. Nice oven for cooking. Plenty of seating in living room. When there was an issue with the front bedroom being too hot the host immediately sent a fan to help cool it down so that was nice. Good location as far as Panama City goes as well! Host was good about communication during stay. Beach chairs are great.

Spring Break Vacay

Kim's condo made a wonderful home for my crew during Spring Break. Communication with her was great. The home was clean and had all the necessary items. We enjoyed cooking breakfast, then walking out to the beach to enjoy the beautiful blue water and white sand.. The complex was safe and secure and has pickleball, tennis and shuffleboard courts which helped keep my crew entertained. There was plenty other entertainment and food nearby, even within walking distance. I would definitely stay again!
