Beachfront Condo w/ 5 -Star Ratings!!!!, Panama City Beach, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

This was the perfect condo for a relaxing vacation for us. We loved the beautiful view of the beach and ocean from the balcony. Everything was very clean beautifully decorated. We love that Mariner East is a smaller complex and that the beach is not very crowded. Gail was a wonderful host and kept in touch from the time we booked the condo until we headed home. We would love to stay here again.

My wife and I have stayed here for the past two years. The condo is beautiful with an great view of the gulf. We also love being on the second floor. It is just a short walk to the beach. Darrell and Gail are wonderful people to rent from. They are very personable and friendly. They are always willing to answer any questions that you may have. Our stays here are always very enjoyable and relaxing. Being a cook, I love the excellent restaurants close by. The Murphy's also gave us some great suggestions. We hope to stay here again in the future.

Darrell & Gail Murphy's reply:

We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled that you had a 5-star experience - it was much appreciated. We look forward to your stay in 2024!

This is our first time staying at Mariner East. This unit is very convenient on the second floor across from the stairs. The size is perfect for a couple or a couple with small children. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a great week on the beach. The owner is very accommodating and communicates promptly.

Darrell & Gail Murphy's reply:

Thank you for choosing us! Seeing that you had a 5-Star experience is the best thing we could have hoped for. Thank you for your kind words and for supporting our condominium rental. We appreciate your business.

We absolutely LOVE this condo! We have stayed here several times, and every single time is perfection! The Murphy's have put so much effort into making their place a home away from home for their guest. We always have everything we need, and more. The condo is very spacious. We especially enjoy the bunks for our two boys. The location is wonderful, with a beautiful view, and just steps to the water. The owners are so easy to work with, and always very responsive. We can't say enough good things about Mariner 209! We will definitely be returning for many years to come!!

My husband & I have stayed here & love it!! The unit is exactly as described, decorated so cute & the perfect view. We love it so much that we have already booked a week for next year. The Murphy's are so friendly, accommodating, & respond quickly to you. I just can't say enough about the unit & the hosts. It's honestly been such a pleasure and wonderful trip!! ????????

You are going to love this place??????. We just spent 4 months here, have been coming to PCB for the last 9 years, this is by far the best place ever. The Murphy’s are so wonderful to deal with. We have already booked for next winter???????????. Ditto to what everyone else said. You can go wrong renting here??

My husband and I vacation alone every other year. We love the east end of Panama City Beach and were so lucky to have found this condo. I will begin with telling you about my experience with Gail & Darrell. These folks are the nicest owners we have ever dealt with! From our first conversation about renting their condo, to the last one we had about reserving it for next year...I felt like we were friends. Their condo was decorated to a “T” yet comfortable! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the balcony furniture was so comfortable!! We ate every meal looking out onto the gulf!! The location of the condo in the unit was perfect! We only used the elevator twice-when we arrived with our luggage and after grocery shopping!! The unit is directly across from the stairwell to the parking lot and it was so easy to just use the stairs. Folks, I am a quadruple joint replacement person and if I can maneuver those stairs, anyone can! The physical location of the condo could not have been more perfect!! Gypsies Crepes, Captain Andersons, and Schooners are all very close! Plus the east end of PCB is so low key!! Local shops and restaurants are great. Oh, don’t forget to get ice cream at Hershey’s!! Thank you Gail & Darrell!! I look forward to getting with you soon about reserving for next year!!

The Murphy's wonderful beach home is exactly what we wanted! It has a wonderful view of the beach and ocean and so much more! The balcony was our favorite spot with that amazing ocean view and outdoor furniture that is comfortable and like new. From the furnishings to the paint colors to the decorations and accents, the entire condominium is in tip top shape with a lovely look and relaxing feel. The king size bed and the bedding were super comfortable, we slept very well. When we arrived, the place was incredibly clean. The Murphys are owners that really care about their guests and it shows in the details of their beach home and in their interactions with renters like us. They answered our questions and wanted to make sure that we enjoyed our time there. I love that Mariner East is a smaller complex and that the beach is not crowded. We also enjoyed the pool many days and it was not crowded either. We felt very secure there. We hope to go back and stay at the Murphys beach home again! I encourage you to rent this fabulous condominium, you will not be disappointed!

You are so sweet! I am so happy you were able to find us. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful review! Hope you can come again soon! Blessings to you and your husband. Thanks again, Gail

We had a fabulous vacation and enjoyed this unit very much. It is just fabulous! Everything was beautiful and inviting. Probably one of the nicest condos we’ve stayed in. Very well stocked. Gail Murphy was a pleasure to work with and made everything so easy. She even called and checked on us after we arrived. We will definitely visit again.

Darrell & Gail Murphy's reply:

Debbie, Thank you for your review of our property. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and would love to have you come back. Thank You, Gail

Love the location, close to anywhere you need to go. The beach is probably 100 steps from the condo, if that. Clean condo and complex. Pool guy was out every morning. The condo is decorated so cute and it is very spacious. Love the owners, so completely helpful and sweet! They really want you to enjoy your stay comfortably! I would recommend 1000%.

This condo is absolutely beautiful! It is also very spacious which the pictures don’t quite portray. I thought it was going to be a little tight, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! There is so much room and great storage for your things! We never felt crowded with two adults, three teenagers and a two year old! They include anything you would need in the kitchen, including ample dishes, cookware, blender, crockpot, oven pans and a muffin tin! My kids love muffins and nowhere ever includes a muffin tin! Lol! There were more than enough towels. There was also a generous starter supply of paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher pods, even some laundry pods! If I didn’t need to get milk for the two year old, I wouldn’t have even needed to go to the store the first day! We really fell in love with this condo! The teenagers were even saying that this place “is so nice!” They wanted to stay forever! Mrs. Gail is so amazingly sweet and easy to work with! She answered any questions or concerns the same day about booking and made sure we knew she was available should we have any issues during our stay. But we didn’t have any! Mrs. Gail called to check on us to make sure everything was good and it was! We absolutely look forward to hopefully booking this condo again and again! It’s such a wonderful place to make memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us!!!

My husband and I stayed the first week of July. If you want a quiet family atmosphere that is beautifully decorated with an awesome view then this is the place for you. In the mornings from our patio we saw dolphins swimming and Tyndall Air Force pilots flying almost at eye level over the ocean. The owners are awesome!!! We booked for next year before we even left that week.

Darrell & Gail Murphy's reply:

Dear Jolie, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We love hearing from our guests. Your comments gives us valuable feedback so that we can continue with what we are doing. We enjoyed having you, and we are looking forward to your next stay with us.

We stayed here, Unit 209, last week, May 30 - June 6. This has to be the nicest condo I have stayed in when in PCB. They did a great job with the remodel after the hurricane. The colors and simple decorations are perfect. It was equipped with everything needed if wanting to prepare any type meal. The furniture and bedding was very comfortable. As I said, the pictures don't do the place justice. Before and during the Covid-19 pandemic (with the ban), Gail was wonderful to work with before our trip. It even came down to days before we knew that we would be able to go and Gail always eased my anxiety. Once I walked in the door I had no fears that it had been thoroughly cleaned and that was very much appreciated. Mariner East is a great location for anyone wanting the quiet end of PCB. My next trip to PCB I will do my best to stay at Mariner East and in this condo. Thanks, Gail, for everything!!

Darrell & Gail Murphy's reply:

Thank you for recent review. We try very hard to make our guests feel at home and as comfortable as we can. You were the ideal guest and I enjoyed working with you. I love that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to having you come back.

The unit was very clean, and appeared to be newly remodeled when we got there. We absolutely loved it! We had a great time over the thanksgiving holiday! The owners are wonderful to work with.The view is breathtaking. Lots of great places to eat. I even got in a couple of rounds of golf. I highly recommend!

My family and I have stayed in this condo on 2 different trips. I always feel right at home as this condo is stocked with everything you would need. Everything is clean and fresh. The location is great and has lots of places to eat near by. We are looking forward to coming back very soon. Book your trip now, you won't be sorry you did.

My husband and I stayed here 10-07-17 - 10-14-17. The condo was very clean, well equipped, comfortable, and was very convenient to the parking area. It also had a great view and a gas grill on the balcony. Everything was tastefully decorated and the owner's were great to work with. You simply can't go wrong here.
