Commodore 707

Set in Lower Grand Lagoon on Panama City Beach, Commodore 707 sits about 1 km from the city center. It’s a handy beachside base near Panama City Beaches, Water Planet, Capt. Anderson’s Marina and St. Andrews State Park. Golfers and day-trippers will like the short drives to Meadows Course at Bay Point Resort and local operators such as The Sea Dragon and Adventures at Sea.

A restful spot to recharge before long walks. Rooms are air-conditioned and apartment-style, with kitchenettes that include refrigerators and microwaves, plus coffee/tea makers and sofa beds. The vibe is simple and practical — comfort-forward rooms that work for couples or groups.

In-room kitchens make snack runs optional. Walk to beaches, attractions and marinas, or hop into nearby parkland for a day outside. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy access to local water tours and golf.
