Long Beach Resort Tower III #402

The location was fabulous and the balcony overlooking the beach is perfect. It's a nice big balcony as well with great lounging furniture on it. Plus a nice outdoor table and chairs. Most comfortable I've sat on. The place is very nicely updated and very tastefully done. Appliances all work great and really there is no complaints at all about furnishings. Our only request would be for more than one laundry and dishwasher pod provided especially when you're staying a week. Also; We've read other tower reviews and be warned it seem there is a lot of elevator issues. In our tower one elevator was broken for the whole length of our stay. We didn't have extremely long waits, but we would have had no waits at all had both been working. We would certainly stay there again.

Longbeach Resort has been a favorite of ours for years now. The views from the balcony with access from both the bedroom and living area are unlike any we’ve seen anywhere and the ease of beach access is also very important to us. This unit was clean, and worked nicely for me and my husband.

We had a great time! Our room was cleaned but did not smell fresh, overall a great experience and a beautiful view from the balcony, super fast elevators and the outside property and very nice. Would stay again!

Beach access in Tower 1 was closed off, the balcony was closed off in the room. Had to access beach via another building across the parking lot. Pictures do not show any of thos. Also down to 1 elevator whichakes check out day a very slow process of waiting. Orher than that the water was really nice and restaurants wasn't crowded.

Upon check in, the elevator was out for over 9 hours. We couldn’t check into our room since it’s on the 7th floor and my husband is 71 and haw neuropathy and can’t climb 7 flights of stairs. The bed was lumpy. No cover, only sheet. Sliding doors won’t hardly open. You have to be very strong to open or close them both. Recliner was broken and furniture was very basic with minimal decor. We had a great time on the beach but this unit has a lot to be desired.

It was a challenge communicating with Southern Vacation Rentals since all communications is through individuals in Jamaica. They in turn text and email locals. I rented a condo in Panama City, FL. I only rented for two days but was thoroughly deceived by the pictures on the website. I hoped to suprise my wife on our anniversary. However, upon arriving, the front door was covered in dirt; front door frame was damaged as if some had tried to forcefully enter, rust in the freezer, stove dirty, kitchen flooring dirty and needed caulking around the base, couch and rocker in the living room area severely stained, white dinette set filthy, bathtub dirty, bathroom leaking and not draining, missing second parking pass, resort arm bands filthy as if they were from the previous renter, balcony overlooking the ocean filthy (balcony furniture and flooring need a thorough cleaning), and there is what appear to be mold on the balcony ceiling. I have been still fighting for them to return my money above the 1/3 of my original payment they are trying to settle with. All communication is going through Jamaica and the locals in Destin, FL refuse to call or email. I started my complaints within 10 minutes of arriving and have continued a week later. Very sad and poor customer appreciation and service.

The condo was fine for what it was, but definitely not what I expected based on the listing. I booked an oceanfront room specifically for the balcony and view, only to find out after arrival that it was completely inaccessible — something that was never clearly stated during booking.While there was a general disclaimer on the website mentioning that construction “may impact” beach, balcony, or elevator access, it didn’t explicitly say that I would not have those amenities. Had I known the balcony would be completely unusable (or that the building had no beach access and only one working elevator), I would not have booked this unit. Only after I complained about the balcony, did they post a notice on my door and send a text that explicitly said that there was no balcony access.The air conditioning stopped working at one point — it was repaired the same day, but still added to the frustration. The unit also wasn’t very clean: fixtures were dusty, there was mold on the curtain, and stains on the bedspread and lampshades.Guest services were polite and responsive but not flexible. Despite acknowledging the situation and the inconvenience, no discount or meaningful resolution was offered. Overall, the lack of transparency, cleanliness issues, and unwillingness to make things right made for a disappointing experience. The location itself has potential, but I wouldn’t stay here again unless major improvements are made.

Wow! Such a beautifully decorated, comfortable condo… right out of Coastal Living magazine. We so enjoyed our stay here. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony and beautiful sunsets as well as soft pink skies with the moon in the morning. The balcony had comfortable seating where you could just sit and enjoy the view and sound of the waves… so relaxing. Saw dolphins and stingrays swimming in the shallow waters. Easy to get down to the beach or the pools. Communication with the property manager was easy. The condo was close to shopping, Pier Park, Publix, Walmart, lots of restaurants to choose from. We also enjoyed the Sea Screamer Dolphin cruise! We couldn’t have stayed in a better place! Will not hesitate to stay here again for future visits.

This condo was beautifully decorated and just the right size for us. The view of the Emerald Coast was amazing and the water was so clear and calm. The smaller pool away from the main busier pool was very nice. Staff was cleaning every morning. Only suggestion would be a better mattress and pillows. But we had a wonderful stay.

Our condo was clean and very inviting. My husband and I had a great stay. We didn’t have a parking pass left for us but when we called about it the management brought one right up for us. We would definitely stay here again.

I’m so thankful we stumbled on this little condo. It was perfectly clean, very comfortable and easy to feel right at home in. We loved the proximity to restaurants and the resort itself was great! We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo. It was very clean and the beds slept great.

The booking and check-in process were seamless and very smooth and the condo was spotless! Everything from the Hosts (Kelly and Farah) to the amenities were perfect and the overall experience was exceptional. An example of the service was, the condo we initially reserved had an air conditioning problem which was not going to be resolved in time for our check-in. Farah contacted me two days ahead of time to notify me as well as move us to another tower with the same Gulf-front view and included chair and umbrella service for our troubles. Wonderful experience and highly recommend.

It was wonderful. The room was clean, the patio was great, and the view was incredible. I will definitely be booking again.

An absolutely serene place to unwind and relax...solo or no more than two. This condo inside and out is well maintained. This has decidedly been my go-to as a third time visitor. I was hoping the small but carefully decorated home-away-from-home's cleanliness and upkeep of the condo would be the same and I was pleasantly satisfied! Farah, the property host was and has always been very prompt and courteous each stay...thank you!

This condo was perfect! Clean, comfortable and communication was excellent. Walk to restaurants, views amazing, pools great and comfortable bed.

Great stay as usual..clean condo.. will reserve next year for Thunder Beach!

We have stayed at several different places in PCB, and this has been by far my favorite! We were so happy with our stay! Super clean, nice building, and great location!

The location was fabulous and the balcony overlooking the beach is perfect. It's a nice big balcony as well with great lounging furniture on it. Plus a nice outdoor table and chairs.

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Panama n City Beach celebrating our anniversary. The condo was really nice, clean and the balcony was a favorite spot to watch the waves and see Dolphins. The host was very friendly and responded promptly if we had questions and to check on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. Would highly recommend! If we come back, we would definitely stay here again.

The Long Beach Resort condo was really nice. The balcony was really big and spacious. The only issue we had was the mattress on the bed was uncomfortable and the couch was uncomfortable also.

The condo was lovely. Just like the pics. View is incredible. Love the balcony across the entire back. We spent most of our time out there having coffee & cocktails at the outdoor table enjoying the constant breeze & wonderful ocean roar. The space is all you need w/ a kitchen, living room & nice master bedroom. Everything was updated. Farah was great - very responsive & helpful. Would love to come back again.

Pros: Condo was clean, most comfy king bed ever, nice balcony with real furniture, large windows, nice light. Updated counters, stocked kitchen/pantry, starter dish pods, plenty of fast hot water and garden tub. Plenty of towels plus a hairdryer. Washer/dryer/fridge/dishwasher worked great, elevators are super fast, easy access parking. Location is within walking to dining/shopping, easy beach access. Nice heated pool & hot tub, although not one just for adults to quietly relax. Communication was fast and friendly. The first night we froze, door seals were bad, and no parking passes but they were very fast to get it resolved considering it was a holiday. Cons: No cleaning sprays or cleaning rags, starter laundry pack, or paper towels so we had to buy them, but had 2 dish towels. Nice closet but no hangers so we bought those too. Shower light was dim, hard to see. Bedroom curtains are not blackouts so light may wake you. Nice large king bed but two tiny kid-sized pillows so we bought pillows too, so bring your own, there are no spares in unit. A bar across street is open till 4am so loud music may keep you awake, it did us. I know there is a “construction season” but it was not in our listing like some others, so we chose this unit, otherwise we’d have booked elsewhere. The unit upstairs started remodeling or something, and next door was jackhammering, scaffolding right beside our balcony. We came for peace and quiet to relax, but daily from 6am till past bedtime was horrible and we felt our trip ruined. Started Monday trying to resolve, everyone was friendly but kept passing the buck & claiming they didn’t know or just telling us "call security" or "the HOA said..." The day before we were to leave they offered a small discount for the trouble. HOA/security/property manager/owners need to communicate. Would suggest contacting someone prior to booking. This is a great space otherwise.

Room was okay for just my 18 year old daughter and I. Bathroom had a musty smell. Couple of dresser drawers were broken. Beds weren't the most comfortable. Only 1 kitchen towel. The place could be updated but the resort is beautiful and we had a wonderful time.

The condo is beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed. Quick response to any questions we had. We so enjoy sitting on the balcony with the high top table and chairs. You can see dolphins daily from the balcony or on the beach. I saw stingrays daily on my morning walks. We had a wonderful week! Thanks for everything! We would definitely stay again!

Everything about this property was wonderful! The condo is beautiful and had everything we needed. The entire Long Beach complex is beautiful and well maintained. Communication was excellent!

The check in was horrible we didn't have the bracelets or parking pass for the car the night we got in. I went away on Sunday only to get a call from my wife telling me that they can't leave and get back in without the bracelets. which took tile around 2 o'clock on Sunday ti get them delivered to the check condo.

Let me start by saying I've owned a 2-bedroom unit in Tower II of this complex since 1998 so there isn't much we don't know about Long Beach Resort. We had a lot of family in town and decided this unit was a good mix of price and sleeping arrangements to accommodate our overflow crowd. The condo unit we booked was clean and appeared as advertised, however, on day 3 of our stay the power was shut off to our unit because the utility bill was not paid. When we called Southern Vacay guest relations (off shore call center) the number was busy and we had to call back repeatedly. When we finally got to an agent we were told storms in the area caused the outage but we had already contacted the utility company and they confirmed the bill was delinquent. To remedy the situation Southern Vacations moved us to another unit in a different tower and here is where the problems started. My family had to pack their belongings, in wet bathing suits no less, and move an entire building over to another unit. When we got there the door code was incorrect which prompted another call to the SV call center... and another round of busy signals. We finally got the code changed and opened the door to a unit that looked like it had the original decorations from the 90's, very dirty vents, and overall much worse than the original unit. This unit had one queen bed + sofa bed vs. two beds in our other unit. The sofa was so bad it required us to purchase an air mattress. Because we were moved so quickly I guess Southern Vacations failed to update our booking with the new unit number and that lead to the next set of problems. We came back up from the beach and the door code had 'rolled' to a new code as the unit was supposed to be unoccupied. Another call to the SV call center, another round of busy signals and finally an updated door code. THIS HAPPENEND TWO MORE TIMES!! Clearly Southern Vacations needs to train their call center to update booking reservations when something like this happens, it made for a terrible experience. Full disclosure, as owners in this complex we know the perils of renting our unit both with a management company and on our own. Our current managers are local and take a lot of pride in managing the expectations of both the owner and, more importantly, the guests renting our unit. I can tell SV has grown too big to care about something like this so I don't expect much. We received an 8% refund on our stay...oh well!!

We had a blast everything was just like we needed it plenty of space the condo was clean tighty everything was nearby walking distance I love how the place was Private too

It was great location and provided us with all of our needs.

Easy to walk to several places. The property was quiet and nice

Nice location and view is beautiful

We had a wonderful stay at this condo! The location was just right, within walking distance of many stores and restaurants but not in the the midst of a bunch of craziness. The beach area was clean and comfortable, not crowded at all. The condo was just as described, clean and cozy with all the amenities and items you need. We were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend staying here for any one who would want a perfect location on the beach for fun, sun and relaxing!

Wow! Such a beautifully decorated, comfortable condo… right out of Coastal Living magazine. We so enjoyed our stay here. We had a beautiful view of the ocean from the balcony and beautiful sunsets as well as soft pink skies with the moon in the morning. The balcony had comfortable seating where you could just sit and enjoy the view and sound of the waves… so relaxing. Saw dolphins and stingrays swimming in the shallow waters.
