Great vacation experience

First off Mr. Mateen is an absolute pleasure to do business with. He goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great vacation. I’ve had the pleasure of booking with him the last two years and he will get my business every time we visit Panama City Beach. The condo was awesome we had a great gulf side view. We had plenty of space for my family of 8, the kitchen had everything we needed with lots of dishes and utensils. The condo was very clean and well stocked with bathroom needs and towels/wash cloths. The tv in every room was a major plus and everyone was able to watch their shows and sports. Kiddos loved the bunk beds. The bedrooms had the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on outside of my own home. We had shopping at Walmart right across the street and lots of restaurants just minutes away and pier park only about 2 miles away. The shores of Panama was great, no long waits for elevators, I’m sure it was due to a hurricane brewing but it didn’t hit us so a half empty building was great and literally to the ground floor or the parking deck in a method of seconds. The staff was very friendly and the pool was good, they even allowed the pool open til midnight a couple nights due to very few people. The gulf was of course magnificent! If you are looking for the perfect vacation experience then I highly recommend contacting Mr. Mateen and he will take care of you. I am already planning my trip for next year.

Awesome experience

This condo was in on the beach facing ocean with large balconies to enjoy sunrise and sunset! Owner/mangement were great. The condo was beautiful-everything we wanted and needed was there. Grocery store across the street. Highly recommend! I gave only 4 stars because 1 elevator was inoperable and the hot tub was not working properly. Apparently, these items have been broken for several months.

A wonderful beach condo experience

Kudos to Mateen and Vacations 365. My family had an amazing vacation. The condo - unit 1220 - was perfect for us. With 2 teenage boys we had plenty of separation. At Shores of Panama we were close to many attractions and Pineapple Willy's is just next door. We'll be back.

October, 2021 vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at Shores of Panama. The condo was really clean and met most of our needs while there. The location was beautiful and we enjoyed breakfast on the patio most mornings. It was a brief walk to the beach and the location is close to a lot of wonderful restaurants in the area. The owner was so easy to work with and gave us great instructions ahead of our visit. We would definitely like to stay here again in the future. Thanks for a relaxing and pleasant “get away”.

My 3rd stay with Vacation 365 unit 2129 at the shores of Panama and already have reservations for another.

Amazing condo on the beach

This condo located at the Shores of Panama is exactly what you need for a stress free vacation. Mateen is the best host we have ever had and provides anything you need including recommendations of restaurants; Pineapple Willy's is right next door; and the location is convenient to Walmart if you choose to cook for yourselves. The unit was very clean and the kitchen is fully stocked with items to prepare almost any meal you can imagine. The pools, both indoor and outdoor are great, but the easy access to the beach and gulf with rental chairs already provided was a huge bonus! We plan to return to one of his larger units so we can bring our adult kids next time!

The condo was great, but I would suggest having more towels for guests. We didn’t have enough to all shower. Also, the balcony door did not lock. It appeared to lock, but then opened. We would definitely stay here again though!

Much needed quality time together in a beautiful setting!

In the past we had stayed in locations near Pier Park. But we found this location much more suited to rest and relaxation. There was a lot less traffic but you still had easy access to anywhere you might want to go and could walk next door to Pineapple Willy's. We checked in on a Monday and left on a Tuesday, 8 nights and 7 days. We found that this was less hectic than checking in and out on a weekend. This condo offers a beautiful view from the Penthouse level of the pool, hot tub, the beach and the ocean. All the amenities are great and Mateen is a delight to work with. We highly recommend Vacations 365!

Pleasant stay, gorgeous view

We really enjoyed our stay in unit 2129. The unit was clean, spacious and homey. The beds were super comfortable and the living room area was cozy. The unit had a wrap around balcony with a view breathtaking that you can also see from the living room. Mateen was also very communicative and made himself available via text/phone for whatever we needed. The unit itself was great, however, the only downfall was the parking garage and elevators. It got chaotic and overwhelming at times. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.

We recently stayed in the Shores Of Panama unit 2316. The unit was very large and had a great view of the Gulf and pool. Mateen was a great host. He provided us with great recommendations of some local eateries, especially Juan Taco. He was a gracious host who assisted us in any way needed.

We arrived on 5/29/21 to the unit located at Shores of Panama. This unit is centrally located with OUTSTANDING views! Walk to eat, get groceries, or go shopping. From the beginning of renting this condo to arrival; the owner, Mateen, has been amazing. He even offered suggestions for restaurants and things to do. We communicated via text, phone call, and email. I felt 100% safe booking with Mateen.Check-in was easy. Did not even have to go to the front desk. Received an email with all the information. We went straight to our condo on arrival. NO keys to worry about, simply use a code that was provided. Which can be changed to whatever you choose.We will be back!

The Perfect Getaway

My family and I are from Missouri and sometimes you just need to get away from it all. With so much of our lives after we live, how we work, how we play...we just needed a moment to escape the realities and enjoy the view. We couldn’t have been more pleased with this unit. The location is so close to such great activities like dining, mini-golf and most importantly, the beach. There’s just something about having that perfect view for both morning coffee on the patio AND evening night caps with a sunset. Can’t wait to do it again!

Everything about this condo was more than we could have asked for! There’s plenty of space and very clean! The views are breathtaking! Very easy to check in and out and good communication with the property manager. Only thing I would warn about is the resorts elevators which is no fault of the property manager. The condo is the 21st floor which is what makes the views so spectacular, but the elevators run very slow.. so plan accordingly! Would definitely recommend this unit to anyone!

Beach trip

We thoroughly enjoyed out week at the beach. The owners were super helpful in answering all our questions. The kitchen had all the essentials. We had plenty of room to spread out. The view and beach/pool access was amazing. I would maybe mention somewhere to bring your own paper products. There was one of everything - One paper towel roll, one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom, one trash bag... We definitely had an amazing trip. The owners even sent us a list of restaurants and activities near by. Very helpful.

Nice condo

This is a nice cozy condo. Owner is very good at communicating. Room was clean. Major plus that room comes with beach chair rentals. Could use more or different balcony furniture to be able to sit out and enjoy the views. Current balcony furniture is small and not very comfortable. No other complaints for the condo room itself. Reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 is because of the resort itself. Elevators constantly breaking down and not being fixed. When your on 23rd floor it’s a big deal. Resort faculty was not friendly or seemed to care about guest. But as for the condo itself I recommend.

Amazing experience, clean and beautiful, great host

We take our boys and their families on vacation once a year and try and book a place that is made for all ages. My husband and I enjoy the balcony, ocean front, and amazing views whilst our grand babies love the pools. This met our expectations and beyond! We made tons of new memories. Although the parking and elevators were a little time consuming at times, if you’re willing to have patience, not get in a hurry, and just enjoy the family time...this place is well worth it. As for the host, WOW, sums it up. Not once, not twice, but every single time we had questions they were quick to respond and provide us help. This gave us piece of mind and allowed for a worry free vacation knowing someone was clearly there to ensure we did. We can’t thank you enough for allowing us the opportunity to stay. We will see you again soon! #MemoriesMade. Sincerely, The Davidson family.

I almost hate to give my review because I don’t want this place to be harder for me to reserve next year! It is even more beautiful in person than what the pictures portray. The views are incredible and the sunsets from the balcony were unbelievable! Everything you could possibly need was provided including a Kurig and a regular coffee pot. The beds were amazing! Nothing like you would get in a normal rental! I can’t say enough about the owner, Mateen’s kindness. He is truly there for you to make sure your stay is everything you expected it to be. Than you so much Mateen for sharing your home with us. We can’t wait to come back next year! The Taylor Family

Spring Break 2019

I highly recommend this property for your next trip. I could not have chosen a better place for our spring break. The owner responded within the hour of booking. From that point, he remained in contact with me to ensure we had everything needed prior to arrival to avoid any delays in locating and entering the property. He also allowed us to enter the property as soon as the cleaning was finished which as a plus considering the 4 hours drive. The lighting in the pictures don't really depict how nice the place is. I loved the chic decor. Some places go the cheap route with decor and comfort; however, this owner has really taken the time to ensure this place has both. You can adjust the mattresses in two bedrooms, the sofa and loveseat recline, and there's plenty of bar space for six people to eat. It lists as two bedrooms, but there is a small area that holds a twin/double loft that two teenage girls slept in comfortably. Water sports such as jet skis were nearby. It took me 5-10 minutes to WALK to Walmart and the amusement part. Lastly, the view is amazing. You overlook the pool area but there's plenty of sea. Thanks to Mateen for allowing us to experience his place! Monica

2018 Vacation

First off I want to say how great it was working with Tanya from Emerald Coast Vacations. She was totally awesome!! The condo was very nice and had a great view! The pictures on-line do not do it justice! The condo was well equipped. We only had a couple of issues...our sheets in the master was dirty and the lounge chairs in the living room were full of sand. I had to vacuum them but other than that the place was great. A big plus was the beds were very comfortable! Loved the balcony!!! The grounds were beautiful and very well maintained. So the bad things...the parking garage was the worst I have ever been in! The spaces are not big enough to allow you to park and get out of the car(we have an SUV). We had to all get out before my son parked and thank goodness he is very skinny and was able to squeeze out the door after parking. We ended up going to the top floor every time instead of using our assigned spot because there was more room up there. Because the garage is so tight it took us about 20 mins to get out every night. Very stressful! Very disappointed that the hot tub outside was closed the entire time we were there. We never saw anyone working on it either so they didn't even try to get it back up and running the entire week. The elevators were slow and the wait time was usually 20 mins. With all that being said we had a great time and I will definitely use Emerald Coast Beach Vacations and Tanya again!!

Amazing condo

We have stayed at Shores of Panama 3 other times and this condo by far was the best. First of all from the king bed down to the bunks the beds are so comfortable, (last year somewhere else they were cheap and horrible and that effects your day) . The view is amazing, and we found elevators nearby where I never waited at all. The kitchen is well above board with a Keurig and normal coffee maker, plenty of skillets and utensils for cooking. The washer and dryer are like what you would have at home not those tinker toy ones that take forever to dry. We didn't use it but was surprised to see a rollaway in a closet. The little ones loved the bunkroom and the Netflix so I didnt have to watch and hear my little pony all night. The beach towels and chair were a pleasant touch and the little ones fought over the comfy rocking chair on the deck. We will be booking in the future!!!

It was located perfectly to get to all the softball fields and a plus that it was right next store to Pineapple Willy's. Thanks for the great place to stay on our softball vacation.
