Nice property and great location. It was nice to have a full kitchen and to spend time relaxing on the huge balcony. Convenient for accessing everything in Baytowne Wharf. Also nice for exploring the surrounding area (Panama City, Grayton Beach Destin).

Family Spring Break

I would stay here again just for the awesome location and balcony that overlooks all the action. Easily walked to many restaurants, shops, kid activities, and the marina. Very clean. Our kids liked watching the fireworks from our balcony. Some reviews mentioned the noise level at night, but this didn’t bother us at all. We just put a travel sound machine in the bunk room and our kids slept through the night. The worst noise is the early morning leaf blowing… I know the rental can’t control that at all, but just be warned and bring earplugs. It wouldn’t stop me from staying there again. We had friends with teenagers stay in another Observation Point unit. We’d end all our nights drinking and talking on our balcony while we watched our kids run around to all of the activities below.

Beautiful Condo

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. The condo was spacious, clean and in a very convenient location. The balcony is really the highlight of the condo as it's located directly over all of the village activities/bars, restaurants. My only complaint is the noise level at night...I realize many have cited this as their complaint as well, but we did have one night in particular that was so loud that it woke me up. It seems as if late-night crowds gather directly under the balcony to carry on their night once the bars close down. The night I was awakened, there were approximately 10-15 women cheering one another on while they turned flips in the common area. Fortunately, it didn't last ALL night long and I was able to fall back asleep, however, we were pretty irritated while it was happening. It would be helpful if there was some way the owners could install some kind of noise blocker...I don't even know if anything like that exists?? At any rate, despite the noise, we really did have a great time staying here.
