Emerald Beach Resort by Panhandle Getaways

On Panama City's sun-soaked Gulf shore in Panama City Beach, this beach condo sits right on the sand. A 4-minute walk to Panama City Beaches and minutes from Pier Park, with SkyWheel, Russell-Fields Pier, Hidden Lagoon Golf & Racetrack and Gulf World Marine Park close by.

Six individually decorated condos feature private furnished balconies or patios, kitchens with refrigerators, ovens and microwaves, plus coffee/tea makers and separate sitting areas. Bright, breezy coastal décor and simple comforts make it easy to live like a local.

Dip into any of three outdoor pools or splash in the aquapark, work out in the fitness center, or hit the outdoor tennis courts and sauna. Family-friendly extras include a kids' playroom, mini-golf and a bowling club; two bars/lounges, a picnic and BBQ area round out the on-site fun. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and step straight onto the beach.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. On-site ATM/banking, elevator access, free self-parking and an optional roundtrip airport shuttle (for a surcharge) make logistics easy.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/cafe serve meals and grab-and-go snacks, while two bars/lounges keep cocktails and evening hangs simple and convenient.
