Great Stay
Great location, great amenities. Would recommend reinforcement on the stairs railing. Missing screws in multiple location making the railing shake more than normal. Sturdy railing is need for the incline of the stairs. Otherwise great stay

Beach Getaway
I took my wife, daughter, and niece to the beach for a few days to relax. We stayed in a condo with quick and easy access to walk to the beach and pool. We had a few meals at the apartment and ate at local restaurants like Pineapple Willys, Hammerhead Freds, and I=HOP. We enjoyed the getaway. We cleaned the apartment, wrote in the memoir book supplied by the apartment owner and placed a shell in the vase requested by the owner, Thanks for a great family and personal time. The Walker's

About the host

Host profile image
Our "beach story" began over 40 years ago. On one of their many journeys, our grandparents discovered the sugar white beaches of Panama City Beach in 1973. It is with this visit, that our family story unfolds across four generations. Our Grandma, immediately fell in love with the sugary white beach, crystal clear blue waters, and the many pools that would sometimes form on the beach. Living in Missouri, Panama City Beach offered a tropical getaway that they could frequent for extended weekends as well as full-week getaways. In 1977, Grandpa surprised Grandma with a very special "Sandcastle" birthday present. He purchased an adorable little beach cottage two blocks from where we are today. Our grandma appropriately named her new escape "Our Sandcastle". In those days, the little cottages, and now our new "Sunswept Sandcastle" were the only structures on the beach. Our mom's remembers spending days on the beach, seeing only 20 people pass by the whole day. Besides the beach front houses you still see today, the rest of the beach was a multitude of sand dunes. In the early days, the favorite beach front restaurant was called "The Beach Party", and it still exists, but is now called Schooners. It remains a family favorite for everyone, and one of the first places we enjoy on each visit. Grandpa had a special love of boating, and back then he would leave early in the morning and go fishing for the catch of the day. During the afternoon, our mom and aunt would seek out fresh oysters, scallops, and crabs from the bay. Grandma would create quite the feast, including our Grandpa's famous Oyster Stew. Mom (our awesome property manager) remembers walking the beach with her dad (grandpa), and how he named the beachfront building of Sunswept "The Big Gray Monster". At three stories, it was the tallest structure near their beloved Sandcastle.

Why they chose this property

Grandma had a special love of sharing her Sandcastle with everyone. We can't tell you how many honeymoons took place in her Sandcastle. Her family and friends enjoyed over 28 years vacationing here on Thomas Drive. We have a library of guestbooks, with many wonderful times shared by all. Grandma especially loved the beach. She is much remembered for the special messages and prayers she wrote in the sand for all of us that were washed away into the universe. Her most memorable message in the sand was "Thank You God for Everything". Our family continued making special beach memories into the third generation of our family. Our favorite event was a final night Luau, including grass skirts, leis, music and dancing on the beach as our farewell until the next visit. As with all things, unexpected changes occur. In 2007, we lost our treasured Sandcastle. In July 2011, grandma made her last trip to Panama City Beach with her youngest grandchild (4th Generation). In February 2012, we lost Grandma. Leaving a special gift to her three grandchildren, it was unanimously decided that the best tribute to Grandma would be to purchase a new Sandcastle. In 2018, tragedy struck us in the form of Hurricane Michael. The roof was torn off Our Sandcastle and after undergoing a 6 month renovation we're so excited to introduce Our Sandcastle 2.0!
So, here we are. We begin another new chapter of "Our Sandcastle". Our greatest hope is that we can bring as much happiness to our visiting guests here as grandma did in her Sandcastle for so many years. We hope you join us!

What makes this property unique

Sunswept is a wonderful community, nestled next to the beach. You have all the amenities of a high rise condo, but the small neighborhood feeling for creating wonderful family memories.
