“Wonderful location!!!!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2007

We just returned from five nights at the Sunbird in Panama City Beach, FL. We rented from vrbo.com, and stayed in Unit 912W in the west tower. Renting directly from the owner it was WONDERFUL. Of course it is a condo that other people stay in, so we didn't expect the Ritz, and it isn't one of the "luxury" condos with leather furniture or anything, but since you are hardly in the condo it was perfect. NO BUGS, although others have reported they saw some roaches. I saw ONE palmetto bug, they look like giant roaches, but I wonder if that is what others are seeing. They are unavoidable near the coast, and this one was out in the breezeway. Next door to Pineapple Willy's (you have to try the ribs they are worth it!) and a block or two away from Coyote Ugly's, Captain Anderson's marina, everything in a few minute's reach. Walmart across the road, a Circle K convenience store a couple buildings away from you. Just was a heavenly stay!

“not worth it”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2007

We stayed at the Sunbird Condominiums in Panama City, Florida the week of the 4th of July. The room was in terrible shape with blinds that would not open, some were broken and laying on the floor. The toilet would sometimes take 3 attempts to flush. The sprayer in the kitchen sink was broken, the broom and mop in the closet were held together with duct tape. On the balcony the screen door had cuts in it and the furniture was cracked. In the bedroom we had bugs crawling around and the bedspread had stains on it and the extra blanket had holes in it. The room was advertised to have an VCR but did not have one the front desk said that they were room specific but that is not how it is advertised. We contacted maintenance about the blinds on the first day and nothing was ever done about it. Quiet time starts at 10 pm but security was allowing fireworks at 3 in the morning on the 6th. Overall the only thing you are paying for is the beautiful view. We will not consider staying there again.

“SunBird Condo Not as Advertised”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2004
4
people found this review helpful

The web page for the SunBird Condominiums in Panama City, FL was entirely misleading. When I made the reservation for a 4 day 3 night trip during Spring Break, I verified that everything on the web page was true for the room that I was renting. However, there was only one television in the condo, No VCR, No Stereo, No Ceiling Fan in the Bedroom, the king size bed was not much bigger than a double bed, the mattress on the fold out couch was very thin and uncomfortable, the toilet had trouble flushing, the sliding door to the balcony from the bedroom was so hard to push open and close that we gave up on it, the game room was never open, it was hard to get fresh towels, and a few other problems. There was actually a very nice view from the balcony, the security was pretty good, and the office personnel were nice. When I called the number to report the problems, all the girl could say was that she was sorry for any inconvenience - she sounded like a robot who could have cared less. The one bedroom condo cost me $170 a night when it probably should have been about $50 a night.
