Mark constantly updates this condo. We have been coming down to Beach Daze for years. We love the new sofa and loveseat and ottomans. Everything is always in tip top shape. The decor is beautiful. The unit is always clean. It's a pleasure to work with Mark.

We spent a very enjoyable week in this inviting condo. Mark made the rental experience very easy. All descriptions and photos were as advertised. The condo itself was very clean and well equipped. He even had laundry detergent for our use. We only used the king bed but can attest to it being comfy. And the living room furniture was also very comfortable - something many rentals do not have. Our favorite feature: the wonderful balcony! It is very large, furnished with great seating options and the view is unbeatable. We started our days with coffee on the balcony and ended the day with an evening cocktail there. Thanks, Mark, for a relaxing week.

First, I hardly ever write reviews, but I could not help but to write this one. This is by far the best beach condo we have ever stayed at, and the best beach in Florida we have ever seen. The condo is perfect, great size, extremely clean, two single beds in one bedroom for the kids, and it has absolutely everything you need for a week stay. The balcony and views from the balcony are reason enough to stay here, you see nothing but crystal clear water, white beach and sunny skies! You don't see any buildings or touristy areas at all from this Condo, just beautiful white sand and I have never seen the water so clear on the Gulf coast of Florida than at this beach. We had to drag the kids away at the end of the stay, they want to live here all year round! Target, Publix and shops just a couple miles away. The owner was incredibly gracious and the process of renting the condo was extremely easy and organized (which I love). We will definitely be returning to this particular unit, whenever we can.
Owners response:
Jim. Thank you for the kind words. Karen and I take all of our guests vacation seriously by ensuring a wonderful clean and well prepared beach condo for you to call home for the time you stay. We will continue to strive so that all future guests have the same great experience you had. Please look us up when you are ready to relax at Beach Daze. Thanks again. Mark and Karen.
P.S. I agree. It is near impossible to leave.

My husband, our son, his friend and I stayed at Beach Daze and let me just say this is probably the best unit we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in ALOT. It was clean, beautifully decorated and there wasn't a single thing that we needed that wasn't provided. I mean everything from a flashlight to seafood utensils is provided. Our son and his friend had to leave early to return to school, so my husband and I got to enjoy a few days just the two of us. We even decided to stay an extra night, we were having such a nice time relaxing. The view is incredible! All activities or restaurants that you might want to visit are close by, but this condo is at the quiet end of Panama City Beach. The owner is very easy to work with. We are looking forward to when we can return to Beach Daze!

My husband and I along with our two kids (ages 4 & 7) just got back home after a week at Beach Daze and I must say we had a wonderful time. The condo was very clean and well decorated with upscale and inviting decor. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were also comfortable and soft. We never saw anyone on our floor the entire week, so it was very quiet and nice. The pools were nice and access to the beach was very easy. There were 4 elevators in the building, so we were not left waiting. Parking was wonderful and very easy to get in and out. We were within a couple minute drive to Pier Park and good restaurants. We liked being far enough away from all the noise and craziness of PCB. We also enjoyed having some families with kids but not tons of kids! It was great balance and we met some nice families during the week. I would highly recommend this condo. We plan on returning with our family again next year! :)

Our stay at Beach Daze was wonderful! This is our second time staying at Beach Daze and our third time staying at Emerald Isle and we LOVE it! The condo is exactly as described and very clean and well kept. We have a 15 year old and stayed during Spring Break. It is the perfect location for fun and sun and it is far enough away from all the college students on Spring Break that you never have to deal with alot of noise and the drinking/partying that goes on further down the beach. We loved that a lot of the restaurants and shopping were within walking distance or a very short drive. The outlet mall in Destin is only 30 minutes away :) Another plus! We would recommend Beach Daze to all of our friends and family.

This condo was neat, clean and had beautiful furnishings which certainly matched the pictures shown. The kitchen had great appliances, both large and small, and any pot, pan, utensil and gadget you could possibly need! Detergents and trash bags were supplied which was a big help. Bedding was high quality, not the usual rental linens. Condo is in a good location--close to anything you might like to do or need. Also, the best balcony furniture I have seen--great condition! Owner is easily accessible by phone and always courteous and accommodating if you have a question. Had a great stay and weather.

WOW..this place is awesome. We went to PCB with 5 other couples, who all stayed in different condos, and they would come to this one and say it was the best by far. Cozy and clean!!! Thanks for the stay and the owner is very accommodating. The teens loved it because they had their own rooms with a nice bathroom attached..I would HIGHLY recommend this for any family needing a clean, quite, well decorated, comfy place to stay!!! Melissa

Date of arrival: March 20, 2011
Hello, I stayed unfortunately for only a 2 days out of a 5 day reservation. Myself along with 3 other Soldiers on leave from afghanistan were kicked out of the condo due to apparently throwing a soda can from out floor. The staff didnt't identify any one of us for doin it. They just called the police and has us escorted out. I myself was on the phone talking while on the balcony and didnt witness the event. The manager kept an attitude and even asked the police if he could press charges as we stood their confused. The previous nite we were asked to stop talking loud at 930 at nite, clearly 30 minutes before the 1000pm quite time, eventhough we were only joking about how good it was being there and not in afghanistan. I have yet to hear any kind of apology from the owner and assuming not getting a refund for the days we didn't stay. I highly suggest if you just want to get away and relax this still wouln't be the place for you since we couldn't even do that being on vacation. If you go to Panama City Beach just to stay inside and watch tv quietly this migh work for you. - Juan
Owners response:
Juan:
I am sure you and your friends were very disappointed getting evicted by Emerald Isle security and Panama City Beach police during the second night of your stay. I sure was and I really wanted you to have a great time knowing you were on leave from defending our freedom in Afghanistan. However, you left out of your post the timeline of events starting the night you and your group arrived.
The building manager called me the first night of your stay around 10:00pm about cans of soda being thrown from the balcony of the unit ten floors up. Not very safe for people on the ground. At that time I tried to contact you numerous times by calling, texting, and emailing. I was finally able to speak with you after connecting with your mother in North Carolina and she relayed a message to you. We spoke and you said you would tone it down. I explained to the building manager that you were on leave and to give a little latitude. He understood but also stated your group was clearly warned that no items can be thrown from the balcony and the next time you would be evicted for everyone’s safety. I sent a text recommending you visit the building manager the next morning in 406 to discuss that you had your group under control. The next night around the same time the building manager called me again telling me they had witnesses that the same soda cans were again flying off the balcony. This behavior resulted in the eviction. Emerald Isle has security rules in place for all guest safety which were mailed with your welcome package and are clearly posted in all elevators. Emerald Isle has a retired sheriff as head of security and the security staff has protocols to deal with situations to ensure safety. You were warned the first night that anything else thrown would result in immediate eviction, and unfortunately your group did not take that warning seriously.
The cleaning coordinator verified there was no damage to the unit, so your deposit will be refunded once I get the keys back from security. If any future guest has any concerns regarding this matter, I will be happy to discuss at length or email our 5 year guest book of past guest comments.

From the first minute that we entered the condo, we knew that even if the weather outside turned stormy, it would be paradise inside. The unit is absolutely lovely and the view is breathtaking. Luckily, the weather cooperated the entire week. The 10th floor location is perfect and the close proximity to Pier Park is an added bonus. The owners were very accommodating and the booking process was stress free and confidential. I highly recommend Beach Daze.

After much searching on the VRBO website, I ran across this property and was drawn to it based on the pictures. I can tell you the pictures truly depict the decor and neatness of the condo. It was clean, decor was very classy and even had nice fluffy towels and very comfortable beds. Plus, the owners seem to really take pride in their property and it showed. I highly recommend it.

This was the 1st time we rented on-line, and it was well worth it. Beach Daze is exactly as the pictures show. And the kitchen was stocked with every possible item we needed. They supplied the coffee filters, kleenex, paper towels and all those extras! The complex itself was superbly maintained as well. And just down the street was an amazing Italian bakery. For a 'spring break' vacation, we were surrounded by families, not the college scene, like other resorts down the beach. It was perfect.

place is breath taking. It felt like home away from
home. We all loved the place, the view, the style,
the location, the whole place over all. We met some
nice people 2 floors down and their place was not
as nice as the Beach Daze. I hope everyone staying

Very nice, new property! Conveniently located and on a very clean stretch of beach.
The unit itself was immaculate, tastfully decorated. Some of the other units I've stayed at before were furnished very spartanly. This place was like staying in someone's home.
My only regret was that I couldn't stay for two weeks! Thanks again for your hospitality!

We had a wonderful time and your condo was perfect. I think I spent 98% of my time there on the balcony. I am an early riser and what a place to drink my morning coffee! My coffee got cold most of the time before I drank it because I had my hands on my binoculars watching dolphins. We had a great family time together……

Beach Daze is absolutely beautiful...professionally decorated, top-of-the-line linens, fully stocked kitchen. Beach Daze IS a true residence experience. Our 3 and 5 year old daughters loved "their" room. We were very impressed by the cleanliness of your condo. And we loved that it is non-smoking! We cooked everyday, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We did not want to come home! Mark, you were truly a joy to work with. Thank you for sharing your condo with us!
