8715 Surf Drive Panama City Beach, Florida 32408 United States

Step into your own slice of paradise in Unit 1701, a stunning three-bedroom Gulf-front retreat where beautiful interiors, incredible space, and sweeping views come together high above the shores of Panama City Beach. Located on the 17th floor and offering an impressive 1,800 square feet of living space, this condo is made for guests who want their time at the beach to feel truly special.

Inside, the open-concept layout feels spacious and inviting, with plenty of room for family and friends to gather while still having space to unwind. The large, fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops and everything you need for your stay, whether you're enjoying a slow breakfast before heading to the beach, preparing dinner together, or pouring a drink to take outside at sunset.

And the balcony? It's a showstopper. The expansive 750-square-foot wraparound balcony surrounds you with breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico from the 17th floor. Spend your mornings watching the water with coffee in hand, stretch out and enjoy the coastal breeze in the afternoon, or gather outside as the sky lights up over the Gulf at sunset. With this much outdoor space and a view this beautiful, you may find yourself spending just as much time on the balcony as you do on the beach.

Unit 1701 offers three spacious bedrooms with an especially comfortable setup for families and groups. The primary suite features a king bed and private bathroom with a double vanity and walk-in shower. A second bedroom also features a king bed, while the third offers two queen beds, giving everyone plenty of space to settle in and recharge after a day in the sun.

The full-size guest bathroom features a tub and shower combination for added convenience. Complimentary beach service with two chairs and an umbrella is also included, making your days on the white-sand beach as effortless as they should be.

From the stunning 17th-floor views and enormous wraparound balcony to the spacious layout and beautiful accommodations, Unit 1701 is more than a place to stay—it's the kind of Gulf-front retreat that makes you wish vacation could last just a little longer.

    1000/10 I’ve stayed in multiple units at Gulf Crest and 1701 is by far the best! Comfortable beds, stocked kitchen cookware, beautiful showers, great patio furniture out front/back and very clean! We’ve already rebooked for next year! Highly recommend!
