About this property
Updated, Cozy Coastal Retreat, Long Beach Resort
Welcome to Mermaid's Delight – Your Gulf Coast Getaway! Located in the heart of Panama City Beach at Long Beach Resort, Mermaid’s Delight PCB offers a perfect blend of comfort, style, and breathtaking Gulf views. Whether you’re here to relax by the beach, explore local shops and restaurants, or simply unwind in a beautifully furnished space, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo has everything you need for a memorable stay.
This Tower 1, 3rd floor unit has been beautifully updated with new stainless steel appliances in a fully equipped kitchen with white quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, a comfortable couch with a queen pull out mattress for maximum comfort, a super plush leather recliner, stylish high-top bar stools, and an extremely comfortable king size bed. This unit offers the most private and widest balconies on the beach with new balcony furniture featuring comfortable and sturdy Durawood bar height table and swivel chair set, and adjustable sun lounger!
Wondering why there are little to no reviews? We have recently purchased this fantastic unit and unfortunately lost all of the highly rated comments and 5 star reviews with this transition. That's ok though, this place is a gem, and with your help we are confident we will have those high ratings and 5 star reviews again in no time!
The minimum age to stay at this property is 25 (per HOA guidelines).
A starter pack of trash bags, paper products, and toiletries are provided which should last a couple of days. Guests should be prepared to bring additional supplies for longer stays.

Enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep in the king-sized bed, or relax on the plush queen sleeper sofa, designed for maximum comfort and don't forget about the updated outdoor furniture. • Private, Spacious Balcony: Our unit boasts one of the most private and spacious balconies on the beach, complete with bar-height dining furniture and two Adirondack chairs. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or take in a stunning sunset. • Thoughtful Extras: Unlike many rentals, we provide beach essentials like folding chairs and an umbrella, so you can pick your perfect spot on the sand without relying on limited services.

Our stay was perfect , besides the rainy weather.
The unit was all we expected , the view from the balcony was absolutely stunning.
the easy parking and beach excess was also nice and conviniant.
I recommend this to everybody.
The condo was clean and well maintained. The views of the gulf from the balcony were amazing.

Cozy, calm, beautiful & quiet
Such a good place location wise. Nice & cozy lil spot. Even with the construction, everything was still peaceful, and accommodating. Great spot / location for the beach. Walking distance to pineapple Willy’s for lunch or the poolside restaurant/bar. Everything was great.

AMAZING STAY!
My Fiancé and I couldn’t be happier with our stay. The view was breathtaking, the condo was immaculate, every amenity we needed was there at our disposal and then some! High quality furniture, comfortable bed, every kitchen utensil we needed and easy access to plenty of local attractions and restaurants. We will be back!!

Beyond words!
I travel quite a bit and it is always contentious thinking about the reality versus the description of the listing. I was absolutely blown away when I opened the door and saw how beautiful the condo was and then I was met by a breathtaking view! I stood there for a few minutes just taking in the view and the warmth of the beautifully decorated space. The details and photos are simply insufficient compared to the experience of being there. The ease of access to the beach along with the umbrella and chairs provided was a nice touch and there are endless restaurants in the area that are easy to get to and close to the condo. John and Wendy was readily available and responded within minutes of my messages and were extremely helpful as hosts. I cannot say enough about my experience at Mermaid's Delight and I hope to return soon for another time of rest and relaxation.

WHAT A DELIGHT!
Okay, I want to start by saying, What an absolute delight! This condo is very inviting and warm. If you need a place to just chill and relax and catch all of the action because you’re on the 3rd floor, this is the place.
The accessibility is wonderful. This is the second condo my husband and I have stayed in, owned by John & Wendy. They are the absolute BEST! Everything comes equipped. Such beautiful and kind owners. Never met them in person but if we needed anything…..they were just a text away.
Always there for the benefit of the renter if something goes wrong. People are just NOT like that anymore. For that, I thank them with my whole heart! We’re planning our next trip to Panama City because of the wonderful accommodations that were so welcoming. Thanks again John & Wendy of Halo Vacation Rentals. Until next time. ~Virginia & Kerwin
