About this apartment rental

Wake up to sweeping gulf views from the 17th floor, walk to the white-sand beach in minutes (so much easier than loading everyone into the car) and let the kids choose which of Laketown Wharf’s five resort pools to enjoy. Sky High Beach Vibes is a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo with a separate bunk room, oversized private balcony and over 1,250 square feet of comfortable living space (more space per guest than almost anywhere else on Florida’s Emerald Coast). With two king beds and a dedicated kids’ bunk area, there’s room for everyone to spread out and relax. Your family gets the little extras that make a beach vacation easier: beach chairs, wagon, sand toys, drink cooler, blanket and other beach-day essentials are ready for you. Add in two hot tubs, resort dining and entertainment and the convenience of easy beach access and you have a vacation home designed to make your PCB getaway simple, comfortable and memorable.

ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING, VAPING OR PETS ALLOWED INSIDE THE CONDO OR ON THE BALCONY!

RESORT AMENITIES:
Laketown Wharf Resort is THE place to be in Panama City Beach. In addition to swimming pools and hot tubs, there is so much happening at the resort for both kids and adults that you’ll never have to leave. The resort offers a fitness center, pickle ball court, boardwalk, outdoor grills & gazebo, fountain show with lights choreographed to music, 24-hour property patrol and so much more. 810 Entertainment offers 16 bowling lanes, billiard tables, sport simulators, Krazy Dart lanes, axe throwing and an arcade – perfect for a rainy day or a day out of the sun! With a variety of seasonally open restaurants (burgers, seafood, breakfast, pizza, milkshakes, sweets & adult beverages), you may even be able to stay onsite for your snacks and meals.

Even with 7 elevators, due to the resort’s popularity, expect longer than normal wait times during the busiest times of the day and peak season months of March through September.

There may be times during your stay when a resort amenity is closed for maintenance, enhancements or for other reasons that are out of our control. No refunds will be given if/when this occurs.

Laketown Wharf Resort has video surveillance equipment throughout the property (including around all swimming pools and spas). The equipment is monitored by the resort's Property Patrol team for the safety and security of guests.

BEACH ACCESS:
Just a 2 minute walk from the resort lobby, a private gate gets resort guests easy access to the soft sugary white sand and turquoise waters of Panama City Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Just a few blocks further east, you’ll also find public beach access # 33 and # 34 – usually a bit less crowded.

WHAT’S NEARBY:
No matter your age, there’s more to the area than the beach. Nearby attractions include water parks, bowling, golf courses / miniature golf, shopping and so much more. From fast food to upscale, you’ll find a variety of nearby dining options. Many can be reached on foot, and others can be reached in 15 minutes or less by car. Publix Sports Park is less than a 10-minute drive from the resort, there’s a Walmart within walking distance and Pier Park (the area’s best known shopping and entertainment district) is about a 15 minute drive.

Before arriving into Panama City Beach, we will provide you with a digital copy of our Welcome Guide filled with information about Sky High Beach Vibes, Laketown Wharf Resort and many of the restaurants and attractions in the surrounding area.

Everything was great with the exception of a number of the elevators being out of service the whole time we were there. We took the stairs from the 17th floor down several times. The day we checked out, we waited 35 minutes at the elevator with all of our belongings.That part was not ideal. The condo, however, was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed! Thanks to Stacy and Scott for this wonderful getaway at their place on the beach!

Could not recommend Stacy & Scott enough! Very accommodating, great communication, and truly made this feel like a home away from home.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
Room: perfectly described, really appreciate the beach supplies (towels, wagon, small cooler, chairs, umbrellas, toys, boogie boards) that were in the condo available for our use. Hosts were amazing and communicated very quickly with us. Food: of the places we tried, The Wharf seafood buffet 7/10, price is great and the fact that you don’t have to leave the property is perfect, the crab legs alone were worth the 600/pp and the sides and desserts were great, but the rest of the seafood was as hit and miss. Better be standing there when they put out fresh because they don’t refill often and everything starts getting rubbery. The salad bar was nice too. VERY limited whiskey choices at the bar. Pool: we only used the main pool and it was nice, not too crowded, and the bar and grill had excellent drinks and snacks (loaded fries, cheeseburger, chicken fingers, etc). The walk across to the beach is not awful but it does look shorter from the room than when you’re actually walking it and carrying all you beach stuff. The nighttime water show: is saw may descriptions comparing in to the Bellagio in Vegas. These people have never seen the fountains in Vegas. We watched from the 17th floor walkway and could barely hear the music or see the water show. Worth watching, especially with younger kids, just don’t go in with Vegas expectations. Walmart directly across the road, Pineapple Willie’s right between you and the beach. Enjoyed every second, we will be back!!

Conveniently located. Gated with security patrolling, restaurants on the property. The host went above and beyond to make sure you were enjoying your stay. She had very detailed notes/tips on how to operate everything including the TV, plus local eateries and entertainment. I will definitely recommend to this one to family and friends and I will definitely stay there again.
