SERENITY BEACH LIVING, Panama City Beach, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

Excellent location an excellent communication. Honestly, this is the most beautiful sunset on the beach we have experienced! Everything was very cozy and comfortable. Our Fur babies loved being welcomed as well! Highly recommend working with us on for this lovely spot!

We absolutely love this condo and location! It is so nice, clean and crisp. Of course we LOVED being able to bring our fur babies and let them enjoy vacation with us too. Such an amazing time together. Melissa the condo room owner is so nice and helpful with anything and everything. This is her home away from home and she makes sure it stays in tip top shape. Again it is very clean and very relaxing. Also she supplies in her condo room anything that you could think of to bring and have. It is already here waiting for you to use and enjoy. So nice!! Love love love it and couldn’t say anything negative about it. Just ready to book another visit and we hope soon!

Beverly, We are glad to hear you & hubby found everything you needed & then some. I will have to agree w/everyone concerning the FANTASTIC Beach Front view!! One of the many reasons I purchased this unit. :)

We had a wonderful time staying here. The property is well maintained and we didn't have to wait on elevator which was great. The view from the condo was amazing. You had an awesome view of the huge pool area as well as the beach. The condo is clean and decorated very nice. Loved the colors and beach decorations. Another plus was the number of towels that were supplied. We had a great time and great weather. Melissa was a pleasure to work with. Just can't say enough good things about our experience.

This condo exceeded every expectation. First let me say it is the cleanest condo ever! From the minute you walk in the door you know it’s clean actually it’s super clean. It also has everything you need and things you didn’t even know you needed. I have stayed in many condos and never have I see any owner pay so much attention to details. It’s the small touches that mean so much like plenty of towels that are really nice and nice beach towels too. The kitchen is so well stocked there is absolutely nothing you don’t have to cook a quick breakfast or a big meal. All appliances in the condo are really nice and the fridge/freezer is huge. It was nice to have plenty of room for 40lbs of ice! The buildings are well maintained as are the grounds and pool area. This condo in building C is unique with the view which makes for beautiful sunsets and keeps the condo cool since you don’t get any direct sun until afternoon. Additionally it the such a easy stroll to the beach, no steps to climb and right by a beautiful pool. The condo owner, Melissa, set the standard for condo management. She was so easy to work with, answered questions and was available during our stay for any questions. Amazing to find an individual committed to helping others enjoy vacation. Top notch condo and condo owner.

My family of 3 stayed here with our big dog and we absolutely loved it!! The view was to die for!! The beds are all very comfortable and the condo is fully stocked. Just steps away from the white sand. The owner is very responsive with answers to any questions. Will definitely stay again.

Kristina, We are so happy you all have enjoyed your stay w/the family & your fur baby!! Yes, the view is absolutely amazing. Glad you were able to use whatever you needed in the unit. We do provide a lot of conveniences like at home so our guests can pack less. We look forward to your future stays w/us!

We loved every minute of our time in this condo. When we walked in it smelled so clean and everything was so neat, clean, and organized. She has everything that you will need for your time at the beach. All you have to pack are your clothes. The view from the balcony is breathtaking! She is also very responsive to messages. Loved our stay here and we plan to stay here again in the future!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Thank you for the lovely review Tara!! We are so happy you & the family had a fabulous time! We are happy to host you & your family w/your future visits to come. Yes, the view from the balcony is awesome of palm trees, the pool & the gulf view. Its a slice of its own paradise :)

Absolutely amazing place! From the moment you walk in thil you shut the door the last time to leave...you are home! Comfort level in every room! Decorated in true beach style and not all white, full of color and cozy furniture is inviting. Whether stuck inside because of weather with endless games and tvs galore, to outdoors on the beach with chairs provided, this is the place to go. The views are picture perfect As an added bonus Dunes of Panama is a beautiful property! Melissa is a attentive property owner, regardless of the questions or situations at hand. I will be back!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Thank you Kirsten! I am glad our unit met your expectations & then some! We were delighted to host you on short notice after your other location didn't pan out. We hope you & the family will come bk yr after yr & continue your stays with us :)

This condo is beautifully decorated and very clean with all the essentials and so much more! Super family friendly with lots of board games, a gaming tv, boogie boards, and even beach towels! The view is perfect for watching the sunsets. Melissa was very attentive and responsive! We loved everything about it!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Thank you Stephanie! We are happy you & the family enjoyed your visit!!! We do our very best to go above & beyond to make every guest feel welcome & have all of those extra conveniences just like at home. We feel those extras we provide make the vacation less stressful for the guests to pack so much & definitely want to make sure everything is pleasurable for everyone to enjoy that vacation they have waited so long to take. We hope to see you & your family again in 2021

I’ve known Melissa since high school and when she pursed her dream and made it a reality I knew I had to plan a trip. Because of COVID-19 we didn’t have a lot of options, so I figured now is as good of time as any. I spoke with Melissa and made the arrangements. The best part was it was so simple, no hassle at all. Melissa sent me the exact directions, very easy to find. Melissa made herself available 24/7. She checked on us throughout the stay and even sent a text wishing us safe travels home. The condo is magnificent. It’s in a great area with stores and restaurants while located right on the beach. Spacious and cozy, the décor is absolutely gorgeous. The beds are comfortable, the condo hosts a charming kitchen with all of the amenities. I definitely highly recommend! The condo overlooks one of the 3 pools and the beach and it has one of the most stunning sunsets I’ve ever seen. The photos do NOT reflect or capture how CLEAN, spacious and delightful the condo really is. I’m so excited (and jealous) for my longtime friend. Melissa is not only a friend, but a gracious host. It is quite evident that she has put a lot of work & love into Serenity Beach Living. The only negative: NOT ENOUGH TIME. Thank you and we will defiantly be back…

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Lauria - So sweet of you! So happy you & hubby had a fabulous time!! Yes a lot of work & pride has gone into the condo down to every last detail. We strive to make sure our guests have a relaxed & easy vacation w/o hassles. Our unit as you know is not one of the "run of the mill" plain condo's & it truly does show that as you got to experience it. We can't wait to have you all back soon! We always hear, not enough time, LOL.. That is what makes it special, so you all can come back & enjoy too our slice of paradise over & over :)

We had an amazing time here! The booking, check in and check out, all went smoothly. The condo is very clean and very spacious. Very beautifully decorated and stocked with most the same amenities you would have in your own personal home. The grounds were beautifully landscaped, maintained and kept clean! Hours of operations were perfect from morning until night. Security was visible on premises on a regular shcedule. It's inviting, laid back and very relaxing. We always had contact with Melissa 24/7 and if we couldn't find something, she was so very helpful in every aspect of the trip to make sure we did. Bring your family, pets and friends(if you like them good enough lol) or just yourself! Nothing was disappointing here!!!! We highly highly recommend Serenity Beach Living; Dunes of Panama- PCB Vacation Condo Rental!!!!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

We are SO thrilled you & hubby enjoyed your down time of relaxation at our slice of paradise :) We look forward to having you all come bk anytime for mini or longer vacation stays So happy you all had everything you needed & more at your finger tips. We do try to make it just like being at home w/the extra conveniences. We personally think it makes the guest(s) stay a much more pleasureable visit

This was our 3rd time staying in Melissa's beach condo in PCB-right on the beach! The view is priceless-a little slice of heaven! Melissa is so easy to work with and the condo has all the comforts of home. The sheets on the beds are fabulous! (need to know where you got them!) The new colors on the walls and in the condo have that beachy cottage feel! Thank you for sharing your dream with others! We look forward to our 4th visit in the upcoming months!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

I am so glad you all enjoyed your stay with us Jennifer!!! I love you get to have little get aways here & there for relaxation in our slice of paradise! Can't wait to have you all bk soon :)

Melissa’s property is gorgeous! The condo is so clean and has everything you can want from an instapot to a crockpot to silverware for your entire family. I love having a keurig to use also! The view is spectacular & the short walk to the beach is a huge plus. We will be renting from you again. One of our best vacations.

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Missy So glad you all had a GREAT vacation!!! We look forward to having you all return anytime! I am very thankful to have a fabulous housekeeper who makes sure w/o a doubt my unit is super clean & immaculate. Like you all said on the phone, the pics do not do the unit justice. We do make sure our guests have pretty much everything they could possibly need just like at home. It makes a better stay for our guests & everyone appreciates the extras we provide We look forward to you all coming back soon!

This condo is even more beautiful in person than the pictures show!! We loved staying here and loved the fact that we were able to bring my daughter’s sweet fur baby. The condo was decorated so pretty and had everything we could possibly need to cook and there were a lot of extra things available to use that most condos don’t have. You can tell that Melissa and her husband have put a lot of of time and hard work into redoing the condo and making it feel like home. Melissa was an amazing hostess! She was always so helpful and checked on us to make sure that everything was great. She was the best owner i have ever dealt with when renting a condo!! We loved the location and the view from the condo! We had a wonderful trip!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Tammi, So glad you all had a great time! I agree the pictures do not do the inside justice!! We do make sure everyone has enough of the extras like at home available. It just makes the trip for our guests more pleasurable We look forward to your future trips with us :)

I originally picked this condo bc I needed a pet friendly one but it was more than that. It had everything I wanted and then some. The location of the condo was perfect. I have had multiple spine surgeries and was very worried I would have trouble walking much of a distance to get to the pool and/or the beach. But the pool and beach are both right there at the condo so I really didn't have much trouble walking at all except in the actual sand. Lol. I also liked that I was able to let my 13 yr old son go down to the pool some on his own bc I was so close that I could sit on the balcony and watch him play with other kids. The inside is very spacious and has pretty much anything you will need. We really didn't eat out a lot bc we had a full kitchen with anything you would need. When I first booked it I asked if there happened to be a Air fryer. She ordered one and had it there before we even checked in! Melissa was so kind and checked on us a few times during our stay to make sure we were all good and to see if we needed anything. In fact, after arriving I had messaged her about a cord that my son needed to hook up his Xbox to her gaming tv and when she realized he didn't have that cord she had one sent to the office right away. It was there within 2 days. I can not say enough nice things about Melissa and her beautiful condo. I hope and pray I can make a return visit to this same condo very soon.

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Simone, We are thrilled you all had a great time & that everything was close for you to get to!! We like to make sure everyone has a great experience like they are at home, but w/a better view, LOL Having 2 teenagers myself, I know having certain cords to gaming systems are a must, especially when needing down time from them of being in the water or the go-go all day. You are so kind w/your review, I love the fact that Brayden is ready to go again, LOL Once you start one beach trip, they become VERY addicting! We look forward to having you all back soon!!

Our time in this condo was nothing short of amazing! The view from the balcony is seriously breathtaking. The pictures don't do it justice, at all. Melissa was a such a pleasure to work with. That made the experience 10 x better! They literally thought of everything for you to use in the condo too. I know now that she wasn't joking when she said you only have to bring your clothes and beach towels. This was the easiest experience and something that I hope to continue for years to come!! Thank you so much for letting us use your little slice of paradise!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Lauren & Family, We are so thrilled you all had a FABULOUS vacation!!! We do try to make things as easy as possible & provide those "extra" little conveniences. We are happy you found your experience & stay in our little slice of paradise amazing. We can't wait for you all to visit us next year once you figure out your dates :)

Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us. This was the first vacation with the new grandson. We had an awesome time. Love the condo and really love how close to the water it is. Thank you for accepting our fur babies as well. I can't wait until the next trip.

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Latricia, It was our pleasure to have you all! So glad you an awesome time not only staying w/us, but also your new grandson. Your fur babies are welcome back anytime! We look forward to having you all back soon to enjoy more relaxation :)

Amazing ocean and pool view from a large balcony outside, all the necessities your heart desires on the inside! Beautifully appointed, clean interior with all the touches of home, and the owners are simply delightful and easy to work with! The Dunes are incredibly well taken care of and we will be coming here again!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Joyce & Ron - We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!!! Myself & husband take pride in having things just so & all the extra convenience's like at home. We feel it just makes everyone's stay more enjoyable & it shows that we are not the typical run of the mill condos on the beach & we have all the little extras so it can be your 'Home Away from Home' like it is for us. We look forward to your future stays w/us!!

The view is AAAMAZING!
A million dollar view for sure! We enjoyed our stay & look forward to going again soon!
We had everything we needed!

MELISSA BARNET's reply:

Jennifer - We are so happy you enjoyed your visit w/us!! We are glad you got to destress from everything & glad all the extras that are in the condo helped make the stay just like being at home. We are thrilled our condo is going to be your 'Home Away from Home' to get relaxation & enjoy some beach time.
