Photos and Description of the Thomas Drive Area vacation condo rental
1 Bedroom , 2 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 6)+ convertible bed(s)

Looking for a tranquil, uncrowded vacation spot on the quiet end of the beach? Whether your idea of a vacation is watching the sunset from your own balcony, sitting by the pool, or lounging on the silvery white sand by the azure water, Mariner East 406 can fulfill your fantasy. From the living room, kitchen, or dining area, an uninterrupted view of the Gulf of Mexico is yours. There is always plenty of room since there are only 58 units in Mariner East, and these are among the widest and largest one bedroom units on Panama City Beach—no crowding at the pool, on the beach, or at the elevator. Being right on the beach, it is easy to run back up for something you might have forgotten or to grab a bite to eat. Should you decide to dine in, all of your food preparation items are provided. When you don’t want to cook, a myriad of good restaurants are close by, as are all kinds of entertainment venues; deep sea fishing, boat and jet ski rentals, parasailing, golf and amusement parks are just a few of the many possibilities. St. Andrews State Park is a couple of miles down Thomas Drive and the new Pier Park shopping and entertainment complex is only a short driving distance away. For those who prefer to fly, the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport is just a few miles north of Panama City Beach.

It will be easier to pack for your trip here since we provide hair dryers in each bathroom, four generous beach towels, four beach chairs, a beach umbrella, sand toys, and a small cooler.

The kitchen has recently-added solid surface countertops, a smooth-top range, a new stainless steel microwave and a new refrigerator with ice maker. All typical small appliances are included. An under-counter CD player/radio/work light is another convenience.

The living room has a comfortable couch (sofa-bed), loveseat, and recliner from which you can watch the television/DVD/VHS or just enjoy that magnificent Gulf Coast view.

The generous dining table easily seats six and is surrounded by mirrored walls which reflect light and the beach view. The mirrors extend the entire length of the dining and living rooms.

The bedroom has two queen-sized beds, a large dresser, a flat-screen television and its own bathroom. A great convenience is the second full bath located off the hallway. Silky sheets and plenty of soft, thick towels make your stay more comfortable. We offer a wide variety of pillows (down alternative, medium, firm, and memory foam) to meet your preference.

An oversized, heavy duty washer and dryer are provided in the laundry room with plenty of space to store any extra belongings.

The unit has its own wireless network allowing guests to access the internet from any room.

The front door is secured by a hospitality-grade electronic lock system that enables us to generate a different code for every guest, so your code is specific to you and the dates of your stay. No concerns that a previous guest might have access to your unit, and no worries about forgetting your key!

We invite you to vacation in Mariner East Unit 406, our comfortable beachfront retreat on one of the nicest sections of the Gulf Coast’s Panama City Beach, a beach that has often been described as the most beautiful in the world.

About Owner/Manager

Before retiring we were (respectively) a high school teacher/counselor and the assistant director of a Big Ten university real estate department. We brought our own children to Panama City Beach for vacations for many years and now enjoy having our grandchildren visit as well.

Owner/Manager purchased this condo in 2003
Why Owner/Manager chose Thomas Drive Area

After staying at many condominium projects up and down Panama City Beach for over twenty years, we realized that Mariner East offered what we were looking for in a vacation spot: a small, quiet, family-oriented development with a large share of the beach in proportion to its population and a straight-on view of the beach from the living area. These units are some of the widest one-bedroom units on the beach, and with only six floors and 58 units, it is never crowded at the pool, on the beach, or the elevator.

What makes this condo unique

Mariner East is close to many activities, but because of its location on the quiet end of the beach, our guests are not subject to the crowds and noise of large developments housing thousands of people. There is a wide expanse of beach for Mariner East guests, and it is especially nice to be able to look off your balcony and easily locate friends or family members on the beach or at the pool.

Clean, comfortable, perfect location away from the crowds, and just as described. The large living room and balcony could not have been any better. I liked the smaller condo building much better than the large highrise buildings. The owners were a breeze to deal with and all correspondence with them was a pleasure. I am already talking with them about booking next year.

My family and I stayed here for four nights, and it couldn't have been better! There were five of us, and we had plenty of room. The condo was beautiful, extremely clean, and had everything we needed. The pool area and the grounds were well kept, and we loved how quiet it was inside the condo and all around. The owners (LK and Debbie) are wonderful and great to work with. We'll definitely be back for another vacation!

Owner's Response: Thank you! It's always good to hear that our guests were pleased with our condo and had an enjoyable stay. We do try to supply items that make it easier for our guests, both in packing for their trip, and while they are here at the beach.

It was pleasant to arrive and find the condo fresh and clean and all of the owners' comments, photos to be accurate. The kitchen was well equipped and it was great to find a full size washer and dryer!

We especially enjoyed the larger living area and deeper balcony, Be being relatively deep, the balcony gave added protection on windy days. It was pleasant to eat our lunch outside and to watch the beautiful sunsets in the evening. A mid-day stroll on the beautiful beaches added to the pleasure of our days.

There are good restaurants in the area as well as entertainment parks for the children. If shopping is for you, large shopping malls are only a few miles away.

I would recommend this property for your next get-a-way.

We will be back next year, Lord willing.

This is a great property - impeccably furnished and decorated. The quality of linens, kitchen appliances and cooking utensils far exceed any we've experienced in other condos. The washer and dryer are conveniently located just outside the unit which greatly reduces noise. We love sitting on the balcony each evening, watching the sunset over the Gulf. Our family of 5 has stayed here multiple times and wouldn't consider another unit.

This little condo was a great vaction spot for our family! It had plenty of cookware including great knives, pans, etc. which is important for me as I love to cook. It makes the trip more affordable and you will never have to leave the condo as everything is right there for you to use.
The kids enjoyed using the little sand toys that are provided.
A really cozy place--I highly recommend!!
