I brought my mom to PCB to celebrate her 83rd birthday! She grew up in Panama City and wanted to return to the beach since it’s been a while. This condo was the perfect place for us! Beautiful beach views from every room/window and we loved sitting on the balcony especially early morning and evening - the sunsets from the balcony were breathtaking. I loved the soft beachy colors and furnishings - everything was just perfect! I would definitely love to return.

Absolutely always love staying at sunbird condos and this one didn’t disappoint. Loved the balcony doors in living room and bedroom. Had a small issue with water heater and they were so responsive and fixed quickly. Great views, location , plenty of towels and wash clothes which is usually not the case. Very well stocked , clean condo! We will be back!

One of the best Airbnb experiences, great condo with perfect gulf views, perfect to enjoy the sunsets right off the balcony. Good sized kitchen with plenty of pots and pans to cook your own meal, cozy bed with the views of the gulf right from your bed. Condo building has gated entry to make you feel more secure, the security is pretty friendly too. The host real joy team does a fantastic job in communicating proactively. Will definitely come back again in the future!

What a week on the Gulf! The views off the balcony are incredible! The condo was clean and ready when we checked in. The beach sand is white and like sugar on your feet. The water was so clear and the seas were calm. We found a sand dollar and some other amazing shells. The Sunbird is a quit family oriented place that has lots to offer. Our first trip to PCB was perfect. Book with confidence.
