“4th stay and will be back again and again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011 via mobile

This was the 4th time staying at the Sunset Inn, and it didn't disappoint. Owners are great - always friendly and helpful! We had reserved an efficiency, but then found out we would have 2 other family members joining us and requested a condo instead. I called a week in advance to switching, but was told the condos were all booked and to check again when we arrived in case of a cancellation. We were late checking in due to a bad accident and subsequent traffic jam on the drive down, so I called to let them know. The owner said "no problem!" I also checked on a condo, and they had one open up (yay!) We had a great stay! The rooms are always clean and comfortable. The people are friendly, both the owners and the other guests as well. We ran into a guest we met last fall as well, so I can say that we aren't the only repeat customers at Sunset Inn! Also, I read a comment that said they don't have WiFi. That's not true. You just have to get the password from the office. I highly recommend this place. It's not a fancy place, but it has everything we need during our stay.

“Return Again and Again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

people found this review helpful

In a strip full of soulless high rises, the Sunset Inn shines with old-fashioned charm and personality. We found it several years ago, and loved that it is owned by a family, it is small, it has a wonderful location, with several rooms directly on the Gulf, a great deck with grills provided for cook-outs and picnic tables and chairs also provided. The rooms are fine; small kitchen included, full size refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, stove and oven - you can actually cook meals for a family. Very friendly owners, helpful and can recommend the best places to eat along the beach and in Panama City.

Room Tip: The free wireless internet doesn't always work in every room, so ask at the desk when you check...

Over the past 38 years my family has stayed here off and on and whenever we have come down to visit my parents who now reside in PCB, Florida, this place has evolved over the years and is wonderful place to stay, very family oriented, great access to the beach andthe people are very friendly, They have great kitchenettes and the rooms are very clean, it doesn't matter what time of year you stay here, everyone welcomes you with a smile and the owners are wonderful and very knowlegable of the surrounding area, This is our family place to stay away from home

Room Tip: Clean no sand build-up anywere in the corners or on the bed linens, rooms look and smell clean, and...

“Love this place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Just got back from a quick weekend at the Sunset Inn. Had a great time. It was fall break and it was mostly families that were there. In fact, you seem to see the same people every year. That says a lot about the place! You can't beat the value, cleanliness and friendliness of the place. The heated pool was just the right temperature. Another great thing about the Sunset Inn is Anthony's beach service. The chairs are in great condition and people aren't squished in beside each other. Looking forward to spring break!

Room Tip: The condos have washers and dryers.

“It was good for a night's stay, if longer would have needed something more updated”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 August 2011

people found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I wanted to take my two year old for her first trip to beach and didn't have but one night available to stay. His sister referred us this hotel, and for one night we were pleased.

It's right on the beach, MAJOR PLUS with a two year old. The view from our oceanfront room was gorgeous. It could definitely be renovated and updated, but for the price (springbreak $117 oceanfront room) I was not surprised at the decor. The inn is small and family oriented. There were no partiers, only families staying. The pool looked clean and inviting, although we never did make it there. We mostly stayed on the beach. The service was fabulous, the staff was very helpful and friendly.

The amenities were very limited, no WIFI, small pool, and if you're going for the beach then you're fine. But with small kids I would find another hotel with more extras.

Room Tip: Like said before, good for a night but probably not for longer
