This is a great place for a family stay. Condo was exactly as described. Very clean and had everything we needed. The check-in/out process was super easy. Great beach and plenty of places to walk too. Iâd definitely stay here again.
We had an amazing time at PCB and the condo was in the perfect location. We walked to the Pier which was only a few minutes walk and enjoyed dinner and shopping. The view of the beach off the balcony was superb and the pool was a great spot to soak in the sun. Checkin was easy and the unit was clean! We look forward to staying here again very soon!
The property was perfect for our family. We often stay at Calypso, and once again, the stay was amazing! The beds in this unit were beyond comfy! Thank you for a wonderful trip!
This property was beautiful. Very clean, with all the extra touches.
My only grievance would be the comfort level of the beds. While my daughter and her friend absolutely loved the soft plush foam topper to their bed; my husband and I did not. You could not lay anywhere in the bed without it sinking in and this was not good on the old backs.
Other than that one item, everything was spectacular. The ease and convenience of booking and any communication was handled expeditiously. We would definitely stay here again.
The condo was absolutely beautiful and check-in was a breeze! The decor and layout was perfect and the view from the balcony was breathtaking. All 3 bedrooms were beautifully appointed and the bathrooms were very large. The kitchen had everything we needed to make ourselves at home as well with great appliances, granite, etc. We had 5 people staying (2 couples and our dad) and everyone loved it. The beds were amazingly comfortable, plenty of storage and seating too. The pools onsite as well as the tiki bar were added bonuses!!! If you have a chance to rent this property, would highly suggest it!
Condo was clean and was perfect for spring break. Great proximity to restaurants, shops, activities, and the pier. Loved not having to drive to get to any of it. Lots of other families with teens for our social kid. Beach chairs were definitely helpful as the beach was full of other families on spring break. Check in was super easy and owner very responsive to questions. Even saw dolphins swimming early one morning from the balcony.
We had a great time!!! The condo was clean and very spacious.. The location was the best in Panama!! We had beach service chairs included with our rental, there was a poolside bar and we were within walking distance to pier park and other things. We absolutely loved our vacation and can't wait to come again.. Thank you for a fabulous week!!
Our room was clean and exactly as stated on the website. Elevators were easy to catch, which is a big deal since Iâve stayed where that wasnât the case. If I had one complaint it would be that we didnât know ahead of time where the carts were kept to help unload our stuff. We had lots of items so trying to unload at the front of the building in 15 minutes was tough in the heat. The next day we happened to see them on the 3rd floor of the parking deck. Other than that, it was fantastic!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were so pleased with our accommodations! The layout of the condo with three bedrooms and two baths was perfect for our family. Everything was in good condition and very clean. The amount of startup supplies is very minimal, so be sure to hit the store for any essentials right away. Also, if anyone in your group is cold-natured, bring extra blankets.
The proximity to the beach is great, as you are only an elevator ride and very short walk away. Be aware the included beach service is only for two chairs and one umbrella. Any you need beyond that can be rented for $60/ set (two chairs/one umbrella). You will definitely need to head down as early as possible to secure a spot closer to the water. Overall, great stay!!

Wonderful week!
We enjoyed the space in this condo and location was perfect! We had 5 Adults, 1 teenager, and one infant. The view was amazing. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms are a good size. Getting into the parking garage was a disaster, we were never sent the passes so had to wait about an hour to get those sent and in the building after driving all day. The condo was not cleaned the best, rugs were extremely dirty like they hadn't been vacuumed and floors not swept. The ice machine was broken and the pots and pans were a hassle if you cook a lot. Everything sticks. This place does not have a hot tub and pools close early. Overall we had the best time and I'd definitely stay again!!!
The floors were so dirty, they turned our feet black. To their credit, the property managers sent someone to clean it the next day. The white slipcovered couch and armchair were both so dirty, we had to cover them with blankets in order to use them. I would NOT let my kids sit on the couch and chair uncovered- they were absolutely disgusting. Also, the kitchen was bare bones. No knives, scissors, or cutting boards. If you're planning on cooking, you need to bring pretty much all kitchen equipment. No hair dryer in the bathroom, either (in my experinece rentals usually provide a hair dryer). Overall, it was fine but definitely the most bare-bones rental we have stayed in.
What we enjoyed:
Wonderful location, clean property, easy seamless check in even was ready two hours early. Private beach access with two large pools. Pool side bar with great drinks and decent deals. Location was perfect for us we walked to almost everything but we did drive to some locations which lead to the problems.
Problems we had.
The security personnel on site are rude and disrespectful. They only give you 15 minutes to unload if pull to the front. They expect everyone to use garage but we had more than the two car limit and had to unload one in the front so it could be parked off site. Tried to give us ticket while unloading then again while loading up last day. Also I didnât receive the parking passes until day of so I had to go to receptionist to print. She was very nice and helped us out but printed the same pass twice so we had issues when both vehicles left garage. At which the security staff were very rude about. We did get the matter straight after going back to the receptionist again to print the right pass for both vehicles.

Never again
I was extremely disappointed with our stay. Iâll start with the positive. The property sits directly on the beach so the location is perfect for those who want quick access to the gulf.
Negatives-
One morning while we were getting up and ready for the day, we found that the water had been turned off without notice. Yes, you are reading this correctly. No showers. No running toilets. We brushed our teeth with bottled water. The following day, we return from dinner to find that the air conditioning is not working and the thermostat shows that it is 80 degrees in the condoâŠin July..in Florida. I called the âemergencyâ number listed multiple times AND left messages. NO ONE answered nor returned our calls. What is the purpose for having an âemergencyâ number??? Another delightful experience happened when we left the beach to head back up to the property to have some lunch only to find that the elevators were down. Should I mention that the property is on the 17th floor??? Wow. On the beaches each day, dead fish were EVERYWHERE. There was a foul odor and people were doing their best to enjoy their âbeach timeâ without sitting/swimming among the mess.
My recommendation is avoid Panama City Beach altogether and stay in/near 30a. At the very least, avoid this property and Calypso Towers!!!!
Overall the condo served its purpose, a place to stay on the beach. Could use more of the basics, like hand soap, paper towels and TP. Also, air fresheners. It smelled like a Chinese restaurant.YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR PARKING. They are not upfront about this, just incorporate this into the cost for the condo. BEACH CHAIRS - Really convenient. reserve your spots on day one.POOLS - Nice view with firepits during sun setBAR - SLOWWWW, crazy slow. 10 min for a mix drink...OVERALL - Its PCB, you get what you get. In your kids eyes, its fantastic! Ice cream, doughnuts, Pizza, Dave and busters, dolphin tours, jet skis etc. all within walking / short drive. Score 6/10
Positives: The condo was in a great location with much to do in walking distance. Easy communication with the property owner. There were a few maintenance issues (dishwasher broke and leaked, some screws missing in outside chairs - almost fell through), but he sent someone right away to fix them. Lots of room for 6 people. Negatives: condo was not as pictured online. The beds do not have decorative bedding. They went to a triple sheet method of a sheet, a cheap very thin brown blanket, and another sheet. Pictures online need to be updated. Bring your own blankets for the beds to be warm. There were cleanliness issues. Every dish I pulled out was dirty. I ended up washing all the silverware by hand and all the plates and bowl, and the rusted baking pan. The coffee post was gross with some mold on the bottom. There is a large rug in the living room and bedroom that were way past their life expectancy. The one in the main bedroom looked like it had been drug through mud. It was absolutely filthy. I put towels over it afraid to walk on it barefoot. I reported it to the owner and suggested it be removed. For this condo, you will need to bring seasonings, trash bags, laundry detergent, toilet paper, coffee, body wash, etcâŠ. I thought at least there would be salt and pepper and complimentary coffee, but none. Shop ahead of time. Overall. It was a nice stay.
This was our first time staying at this resort. The condo was very nice, parking was convenient. Location was perfect and an easy walk to Pier Park. Calypso employees were kind and helpful. The Emerald Hub was convenient for last minute meals and snacks. Would definitely recommend.
Everything was great, other than the unit could use a few extra blankets and a blow drier. Everything was in great shape, the beds and furniture were very comfortable, and it was very clean! Thank you for a great vacation getaway!
We enjoyed our stay in Panama City Beach. Our condo was centrally located, has easy access to the beach, restaurants and entertainment. The condo has a well furnished kitchen, beds are comfortable, and plenty of space for 8. We could have used a few more towels and blankets. Other than that we had an awesome stay.
