Gorgeous beachfront 2BR Condo Steps from the beach with a pool!!!

Welcome to "Island Time"! That's what I call this adorable 2 bedroom, one bath unit in the low-rise Sand Castles West complex. Sand Castles West is directly across the street from the beautiful Emerald Coast beaches of Panama City Beach, Florida. Island time is a NON-SMOKING unit.

The unit is located on the highly desirable, family friendly west side of Panama City Beach... miles away from the noise and party crowds you'll find on the east side. Sand Castles West is about 1 mile west of the fabulous Pier Park shopping resort.

Island Time is in Building G in the Sand Castles West complex (the closest building to the beach). It's about 200 steps from the corner of the stairwell to the beach access. If you prefer a dip in an immaculately maintained pool, one of our complexes two pools is just at the other end of the building.

Sand Castles West is a "low rise" complex, not a massive concrete complex with remote parking and maddening long waits for slow (and far too-few elevators). Our unit is on the second floor (just one flight of stairs up from the parking lot). You'll have a stress-free vacation with lots of amenities, shopping, and of course the gorgeous beaches literally at your fingertips.

The unit itself can comfortably sleep 6 with 2 bedrooms (each with a queen size bed) and a pull-out queen sleeper sofa in the living room. There are three flat-screen TVs (one in the living room and one in each bedroom). The kitchen is cozy but functional and well-stocked, and the entire condo is tastefully decorated and beach themed to enhance your experience!

WiFi is included so bring all your devices, and the unit has its own washer and dryer so you don't have to waste your valuable vacation time sitting at a laundromat.

We're very "budget friendly" for a 2 bedroom unit so well maintained and close to the beach, so come get away and enjoy some "Island Time"!

Perfect spot
Our stay was great. The small walk to the beach was great. It was exactly like the pictures and a great price for the space. We cooked in the unit a few nights and had everything we needed even a few essentials in the cabinets. I grilled a few nights as well they have awesome local neighbors that live in the units that came out to talk and gave some info on the area. Having the washer and dryer was a god send and over all i would give it a 100%. Perfect vacation spot.

This place has everything a vacationer would want. Super easy walk to the beach access walkway. The condo was clean, the beds were good, A/C worked amazingly, water pressure was good, and there was no lack of hot water! Highly highly recommend this place. I hope it is available every time we visit PCB.

This is our favorite place to stay. We go to PCB 3 to 5 times a year, the only thing is the owner lives in another state and cannot check behind his cleaning service.

Off-season family beach time
We stayed in the off-season. It was perfect for our family of 4. The unit has seen some wear and tear, but it has definitely been cared for. There were helpful notes and labels on the TV and thermostat with instructions. The kitchen and pots and pans are a bit small for family cooking, but perfect for 2-4 people. The TV was a bit old, so it was tricky to get connected to streaming services. The internet was plenty fast for remote work and video conferencing.

Our beach stay
It was a nice place to stay. The construction noise from next door was a little loud. The shower curtain liner needs to be replaced, it was very mildewed. It also should have a blow dryer, people playing at the beach need to wash & dry their hair. Owner should also make sure that renters know about where the parking permit is and what it looks like, we almost had our car towed. Just a few things that would have made the stay a little better

Not what we thought
We really looked for something nice and clean. Lots of reviews said this place was super clean, so we decided to give up a second bathroom, because everyone said it was clean. The condo was in a great location, and it was a nice place, but we went to go to bed the first night and luckily noticed before we got in bed that our feet were black. The floors were so dirty, they turned our feet black. Also, there was mildew around the bathtub which is easy to clean. We understand it’s a beach condo, but that should mean at minimum you mop the floors good. Also, lots of construction in the area and the building next door.

Perfect Location
Condo is in a great location to walk to the beach, grocery store, pier park and several restaurants. Right across the street too beach access and around the corner is a Winn Dixie. We stayed for a month and did not rent a car so this was very convenient. Going east to pier park there was a lot of road construction and the sidewalks were not available. We hopped on the bus which could be picked up right across the street from the condo. So much to do down that end. ( zoo, mini golf, shopping, tons of restaurants etc.) It was perfect. Going west the sidewalks were accessible and great for walking. Restaurants, activities, and stores are more spread out. This condo would be better suited for short term renters. Had the basics needed, but no other amenities except the pools. Unfortunately, the time we were there is when demolition started on Bldg A & B and it was non stop banging, beeping and hammering 7-7. We lost our water 2 different days because they had to shut the water main off! The noise and debri kept you from using the closest pool. This is an 8 month project. Todd was always quick to respond regarding questions or complaints. This was our first time to PCB and we loved the area. Beautiful beach!
