About the host: I love the beach and everything about it! To me, the beach is not a place, it's a feeling. When my car nears the condo, my heart beats faster, then, I immediately relax and become one with the world.
Why this property? THE VIEWS FROM THE BALCONY!!

Ocean Villa # 1602
We stayed for two weeks at Ocean Villa # 1602. The condo lived up to our expectations based on the listing. The condo was well equipped with anything we needed to prepare any meal. The roomy balcony faced the beach with a spectacular view. Several restaurants and shopping were within close walking distance.The condo owners were accessible by phone, or email and responded promptly to any communications. We'll definitely try to book this condo when we next visit Panama City Beach.

Great Getaway.
This is a beautiful condo with very comfortable beds. Beautiful view from the deck and also from inside the condo. We could sit at the dining room table or front room and see the ocean. Owner Karen is amazing to work with and promptly answered any questions or concerns we had. Excited to get to go back with the grand babies in a few months.

Thank you for trusting us with, not one, but two vacations!! We are happy to hear your stay was everything you expected. We can't wait for the grand babies to delight in the beach!! We'll see you soon! Thanks again! Karen
Great Stay
We spent Christmas at 1602 Ocean Villa. Communication with Karen was great, any concerns were addressed within the hour. The views from the balcony ( one of the largest you’ll find in PCB ) were great, the kitchen was well supplied with everything you will need to prepare a meal. The view from the master bedroom is everything you could wish for. You are close to everything, Walmart, plenty of restaurants and entertainment. Book this condo and won’t be disappointed.

Thank you for your review! It's great to hear from happy guests, at one of the happiest times of the year! I am glad to know you found everything was as you expected it to be and wished it would be. We look forward to hosting you again soon!!
Fabulous condo!
We had the most wonderful stay at PCB in this condo this year! Unfortunately we were scammed prior to renting this condo and had the best/easiest experience with Karen. She was so kind and understanding and immediately contacted me via phone call to help ease all of our questions/concerns. We will definitely be back and will continue to rent through her with all future vacations. The room was beautiful with great amenities and a perfect view of the gulf. We will definitely be back!

I am glad to hear your experience with me was reliable and easy!! To me, the best part of my rental process is my being able to talk to my guests (I do love to talk!!) to dispel any fears you may have, answer any questions you may have and enlighten you with information about the condo and the area. I'm always just a call away to take care of your needs before and during your stay!! I look forward to hosting you again! Karen
Peaceful place to stay - Perfect Vacation Stay
Loved the location of this condo. Condo was very clean with no clutter, weird smells etc. So glad we found this condo. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to cook a low broil which we do every time we go to the beach. Condo had plenty of room to move around in without being on top of each other. Bed in master is firm and slept great. Nice bedding as well. Washer/Dryer worked great and handle what laundry we had. Elevators were fast. When the door opens move fast or they will close before you get on. Plenty of luggage carts were located on the first/ground and second levels. Access to the beach/pools is located on the first/ground floor Pools were never crowed which was nice. All TVs worked great. The Balcony was very large with wonderful direct views of the Gulf. Karen was a perfect host and sent us all sort of area information. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CONDO AND THE OWNERS!

Everything needed was in the condo. Clean and not overly decorated. Just enough! All of the supplies were there. No problems at all. Fast elevators and easy beach access.

Great Condo Great Time
Karen, thank you for all the communication and information you provided us in renting your condo. Your place was great with the biggest and best balcony we have rented. Spent a lot of time on it while reading, visiting and looking at the ocean. My bed was very comfortable and being able to see the ocean from the bedroom was very nice. The elevators were pretty fast. We did not have to wait long for them and they got to the 16th floor quickly. The condo was very pretty and the view wonderful. Never needed to turn on my tv in our room, but glad to know I could. I feel like I know you because we communicated so much. Have no fear to rent from Karen. She is a real person and will help you enjoy the area by letting you know about things to do. Thanks again! Hope to be able to visit in the future.

What's not to love about our huge balcony with that spectacular view, the small size of the complex, the swift elevators and location, location, location?!?! I am so happy you had a great time! We delight in hosting guests like you and welcome you into our "family" of returning guests!! We're sure we'll hear from you soon! Thanks for taking time to leave a review! Karen
Great Condo!
We were very pleased with our stay! The condo was clean and had a spectacular view. It was a perfect place for R&R. The beach was steps away and we enjoyed every minute of it. I was impressed with Karen and all the information she sent before made our trip. From restaurants to rainy day activities, it had everything you would need on information for Panama City. Thank you Karen for being such a great hostess! Denene Carter

Balcony a plus.
Our week started out rainy but that’s what made the spacious balcony a plus. Great amenities include a big pool and hot tub plenty of lounge chairs. Wonderful king size comfy beds. Great beach access. Owner very helpful with places to eat and visit being our first time visiting the PB area. You won’t be disappointed at this condo.

Beach vacation
After a flight from PC to Arkansas for our niece's wedding, we came back to the beach for 3 nights to wrap up the vacation! The condo was super, the owner was very nice to deal with, the weather was wonderful, and the water was just perfect. I highly recommend this condo...good location and well maintained. The security was also a plus. Parking was a bit challenging, but we managed to get the truck in & out with no issues! Would love to go back and stay a week at this condo......never quite ready to leave the beach!

Thank you so much for your review! We have a long wheel base truck and have to wiggle into the parking spaces under the building, too, but it can be done!! When we don't feel like wiggling in and out to park, we use the 3 level parking garage across the street and park on the top. The spaces seem to be larger there! You are welcome back any time. Just let me know!! Thanks again! Karen
Great condo
Great condo with a great View!! Very clean and comfy. The elevators were so fast so when you want to get down to the pool, hot tub, or beach it was very convenient. Great location for stores and restaurants.

Thank you for your kind words. As you found out, Ocean Villa is a small, family friendly complex, so it's fast and easy to get around! Three high speed elevators a few steps from your door is a plus. The location of the complex is perfect too!! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back to enjoy our little piece of heaven! Thanks again! Karen

Thanks again for the review and for being such a great customer! Providing a clean environment with comfortable bedding and wonderful views is important to us; we're glad you noticed! Providing everything one might need in the kitchen is important to us too! I know what it is like to show up somewhere to enjoy my time and not have everything to function comfortably, so I have provided everything in the kitchen that could possibly be needed...and then some! Thanks again! Karen
Best views on the beach
Just got home today and we are already planning our next visit to Oceanvilla 1602. The owner Karen is so nice and helpful with everything. The condo is perfect and great prices in November. This unit is very close to the elevator which was so helpful to us. The patio views are stunning and you will never want to leave.

Just Perfect!
From arrival to departure, everything was perfect! Even before arrival, Karen was very accommodating and informative. When we walked in the door, the condo looked and smelled very clean. Then when we walked out to the balcony, the views were amazing and breathtaking! The condo has 2 very comfortable king sized beds which worked out perfectly for 2 couples. We Also found the location to be just perfect. We wanted to dine outside, and found wonderful places so close by, including Billy’s Oyster Bar, Schooners, Runaway Island, and did a take out with Local Steamers and enjoyed our Delicious meal at the wonderful picnic area around the pool at sunset. We loved Pineapple Willy’s for lunch, and The Best Pizza place right down the road! Our most favorite spot had to be The Sunrise Cafe right across the street for breakfast!! All soooo yummy!! Also want to mention that the maintenance man around the pool area did a fantastic job keeping everything looking so nice and always clean, and was very pleasant to speak with. Thank you Karen for sharing your beautiful condo with us! A great time was had by all!

A treat in every way!
My husband, adult daughter and I had a wonderful little holiday away from Atlanta in this wonderful condo! The balcony made it - above & beyond hopes! Looked and felt like we were the first in it -- so they have exceptional housekeepers and take serious pride in this condo. We already want to rent again! The location is ideal - the SUNRISE is great little place to eat breakfast lunch & dinner! Appreciate the links and suggestions for food & amenities in the area that the owners provided. These are superb owners - I would change dates just to work with them again!

Best family vacation we ever had!
The unit itself was clean, well kept, well maintained and comfortable. The pictures are accurate. We were able to relax and enjoy time as a family. We had the space for everyone and the comforts of home- or a home with the Gulf of Mexico out the back window! Our children enjoyed the beach all day! We enjoyed being able to walk to it, to see them from the balcony, the pool, and the peace. This is a quiet place, a relaxing place, a comfortable place for a family to unwind and re-charge.

Fantastic!!!
Great place. Very clean and fully furnished, like home away from home. Location is perfect too, any closer to the beach you would have to sleep in the water. We have stayed two years in a row now and plan on staying again. Karen (owner) is super nice to work with too.
