You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Time to fly south for winter! Great rates, flexible dates for January!

"Joy Coastal" is a beautiful two-bedroom Gulf-front condo at the Dunes of Panama on the quiet east end of Panama City Beach.

During your stay, you’ll soak up an unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico. Whether it’s waking up to a view of sparkling turquoise water from your bed or enjoying a special beverage with the last moments of the sunset from the balcony, you’ll be constantly connected to the sea.

The main bedroom has a king bed with a memory foam mattress, hotel-quality linens, a walk-in closet, updated en suite bath with a tiled stand-up shower, and a seating area with a view of the Gulf and balcony access. The second bedroom has 2 Twin XL beds with new gel memory foam mattresses, hotel-quality linens, plenty of storage, and connects to an updated bath with a stand-up shower. The condo can sleep six with a queen sleeper sofa (and new gel memory foam mattress) in the living room.

The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking throughout your stay. In addition to new table service for 8, a Keurig and a traditional 10-cup coffee maker, toaster and blender, you’ll find a full sized refrigerator and a pantry with additional kitchenware.

We have dining room seating for 6 and a comfortable living room that includes a large flat screen 55” Smart TV and two gulf-facing recliners. (Find a better place for a mid-day cat nap - we dare you!)

In addition to hotel-quality bed linens and bath towels, we also provide beach towels for guests to use during their stay. Because trips to the beach are gloriously wet and sandy, we have a top-load washer and dryer in the unit.

The Dunes of Panama is tucked away on the quiet east side of PCB. The five buildings on the property are spread over 1500 ft of sugar-white beach. The result is an ever-present connection with the water that doesn’t feel crowded, three pools that are closer to the sand dunes and beach than the street, and a beautifully landscaped property that you can explore throughout your stay. The setting leads to the feeling that your vacation isn’t mass-produced.

Our condo is located on the 7th floor of the E building, which is the newest building at the Dunes of Panama. We have a pool, snack shop, fitness room, and two dedicated elevators. Because the condos at the Dunes are spread over five buildings, elevator waits during peak season are not nearly the issue they are at other complexes. We have ample parking right next to the building, a convenient, covered, loading area in front of E building, and several luggage carts you can use to bring your items up to the 7th floor.

We are located just a few minutes away from the beautiful St. Andrews State Park. Also close by are several grocery stores (Publix, Winn Dixie, Walmart) and local restaurants. (The Finns Barista Bar and Snack Shack across the street is to die for!) The location is convenient and connected to the heart of Panama City Beach.

Maybe you’re traveling with a larger group and need more space. If so, consider booking our condo and our sister property, which is located on the 6th floor of the E building. Check out VRBO listing #4504148 to see our sister property.

Notes:

- The $50 administrative fee in your quote is charged in lieu of a damage deposit charged by VRBO.
- Please note there is one street-facing security camera at the entrance to the condo.

We know that your time in Panama City Beach is precious. We feel the same way and have appointed our condo to be the perfect home base for your vacation. We truly hope you’ll stay with us!

Booked this property for a last-minute, late summer family getaway before school started and it could not have been better. Perfect location, perfect condo, perfect owners. We WILL be back! Loved the view, the complimentary beach chairs and towels, and the easy in-and-out setup of the property. From parking spot to inside the condo in less than 2 minutes. Amazing!

Wonderful property - we'll be back!
Beautiful, comfortable, spacious, well-appointed condo! Attention to detail is evident from the moment you arrive. The beds were super comfortable and the linens/towels were very high-quality. We especially loved the huge deck overlooking the beach and gulf. The property is loaded with amenities (3 pools, Tiki bar and snack bar, basketball/tennis courts, etc). The pool decks have ample seating areas and many tables with umbrellas. We also enjoyed the beach chair service included with our reservation, giving us both pool and beach options. The host was very courteous and responded promptly to any questions we had and even allowed us to check in early upon request! We have been vacationing in PCB for 30 years and the Dunes of Panama is now our favorite place to stay. We plan on booking this condo again next year!

This place was worth every penny!
The view from the balcony was worth the trip! Saw SO many dolphins! The close proximity to the beach and use of the beach chairs made beach days easy. There were plenty of beach towels for my family of 4! The water is clean and so is the white sandy beach. The condo has everything you need to make meals and then some. Beds are comfy and the overall size of the condo is perfect! We had the best time and hope to go back someday!

Best Vrbo I’ve ever stayed in.
Caroline is an awesome host. The condo is even more beautiful and well maintained than the pictures do justice. This condo is put together with the quality of bedding, towels, soaps etc someone would invest in for themselves. She spared no expense to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. Very clean unit. Beach views are amazing. Can’t wait to return!
