Beautiful view and clean property

Host communication was be very good and the room was very nice with beautiful views. Unfortunately had a family emergency and couldn't stay to really enjoy, but would highly recommend to family and friends in the future. Unfortunately, the pool was closed for maintenance when we tried to go and the other pool was over packed. If you stay at this resort I would highly recommend staying at this room only because the elevators are to slow, and you are just a short walk out your room door to the restaurant and bar. It was conveniently located close to Pier Park.

Fabulous Condo

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo. We loved being on the 1st floor and not having to use the elevators daily. The views from the living room windows and the upstairs balcony are wonderful. Everything was perfect. We will definitely try to rent this again next year for our family vacation.

Ernest & Ella

The condo and the location were perfect for our stay in PCB! The hosts were absolutely amazing; the communication was second to none; they were available anytime we had a question and gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities around the area. The condo was on the beach, it was nice and clean, very welcoming and loved the security of the area. I felt very safe. Honestly I have nothing bad to say about this condo or the hosts; it was an absolute blast for myself, husband and 3 teenagers who fit in this condo comfortably and had the best vacation over Christmas break! Walking distance to Pier Park, great restaurants and a short drive to the baseball complex. 10/10 would recommend this place!

This is our 3rd or 4th time staying at this property. Everything is always perfect. Always clean and has most everything you need for your stay supplied by the owners, which are the best. They make booking and check-in easy, and stay in contact with you in case you have any additional needs during your stay.

Everything about the place was nice, clean, and comfortable - There were even games and cards for us! - The beach and view from the balcony were awesome, and even on the busiest days (Memorial Day weekend!), it wasn't as crowded as we'd expected.

We just left this morning and I must say it was a great relaxing vacation. The place is just as described. It’s very nice and the owner is fantastic! Being on the 1st floor is very convenient (no waiting for the elevator). When we arrived there was a line of 50-60 people waiting for the elevator’s and we were able to walk down a flight of stairs and we were in our room. We will definitely stay again. Great condo even better owner!

Wonderful PCB Resort

The whole experience went great. The owners Ernest & Ella Kramer did an excellent job with communication, and answering any questions. Friendliness I’ve felt with yet. The resort had a lot of security with 3 teenagers I felt very comfortable with them roaming around d the resort. Also had plenty of amenities! Great Location close to everything.

Spring Break

We visited during Spring Break. It was very busy and construction was going on but we had the easy access to the skywalk and walking distance to and from Pier Park so it was excellent. Earnest called prior to our booking and gave lots of wonderful suggestions. He also checked in a few times during our stay to make sure we were comfortable and asked if we needed anything. We loved being in the first floor and not having to wait for elevators! We would definitely book this room again!

Condo was great! Had everything you would need for a day at the beach! Kitchen was fully stocked. Not having to use the elevators was the best part!! Beds wasn’t to our liking but everyone has there own difference in how soft or hard they like them. Wasn’t a big deal. Plenty of pillows and covers.Bathrooms had plenty of towels and rags.

Best condo with a magical view!

If you are coming durning heavy vacation times this is the condo to have. The elevators at the resort do get completely packed and it takes a while to go up even a couple of floors. This condo you don’t even have to use the elevators, which makes it even better. The condo is perfect though. Nice view and great owners.
