**Renovation Update: **
The Sunbird is undergoing renovation of the building's windows and sliding doors. Our rates for 2023 reflect a discount to compensate for any noise or inconvenience caused by this project. Please note the main and west pools may not be available during your stay. To compensate for this inconvenience, a set of beach lounge chairs is included with your reservation.
The complex consists of two separate buildings: an East building and West building which are separated by the main pool. Work is currently under way in the East building. Work will begin on the West building at the end of May 2023. Our unit, 706W, is located in the center of the West building. We anticipate it will not be directly affected until Aug 2023. We have blocked out the time frame the unit will be directly involved with this work and will open additional dates as we receive updates on the project. Please contact us with any concerns.
Unique Benefits
We fell in love with Panama City Beach during our very first visit. The white sand is so soft and doesn't get as warm as the darker sand. We also fell in love with the Sunbird, because it is a smaller complex making it much more private, right on the beach, and right next door to the famous Pineapple Willy's restaurant. We also love the views from the balcony where you can enjoy your morning coffee with the sunrise and your evening cocktail with the sunsets. The PCB sunsets are just breath-taking! There is nothing like the sound and motion of the ocean to bring calmness of mind.
Why Kids Love It
The beach is always a fun place for kids. Being a smaller complex, the Sunbird beach is less crowded making it more suitable for young families. Our one-bedroom unit is also perfect for couples!
Area Information
The Sunbird is located next door to the famous Pineapple Willy’s with a private gated entrance at the West Tower just for Sunbird guests. Many restaurants, shops, golfing, and attractions are within walking distance (Waffle House, Putt-Putt Golf, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Walmart, and Wonder Works just to name a few). Don’t forget to visit Pier Park just a short drive, Uber, or Taxi ride away. Boasting more shops, restaurants, movie theater and other attractions, Pier Park has so much to offer!
Attractions Within Walking Distance
In addition to being right next door to Pineapple Willy's, there are many restaurants, shops, golfing, and attractions within walking distance (Waffle House, Circle K convenient store, Putt-Putt Golf, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Walmart, and Wonder Works just to name a few).
Favorite Places To Eat
Pier Park offers many unique one-of-a-kind restaurants (Margaritaville, Back Porch Seafood & Oyster House, Tootsies Orchid Lounge) and well-known chain restaurants such as Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, Texas Round House, Chilis, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chipotle Mexican Grill, and Five Guys just to name a few.
For local dining check out American Charlie Grill & Tavern, Christo's Sports Bar & Grill, Guadalajara Mexican Grill, and of course the famous Pineapple Willy's restaurant right next door. Another local favorite is Patches Pub, but get there early for it fills up quickly.
For a special occasion check out, Bella Roma Tuscan Grill, Firefly or Saltwater Grill.
If you don't mind the drive, check out the History Class in downtown Panama City for specialty brews (and some wine) or Ranchero's on 23rd Street.
Inside Scoop
Speaking of "inside scoops," check out the Pink Pelican Ice Cream Bar located in the Shoppes of Edgewater Plaza for the best ice cream around town.

About the owner: My wife and I love spending time at the beach. Panama City Beach is our home-away-from home and love sharing it with guests. Panama City Beach is our “Happy Place” where the soft sand tickles your toes and a Pineapple Willy’s drink tickles your nose. We hope it will be your happy place too!
Why this property? We both prefer the gulf side of Florida where the water is warmer, and you are able to enjoy both the sunrise & sunset. The Sunbird being a smaller complex has fewer crowds and offers much more privacy. Once inside the condo, you are in your very own oasis. Step out onto the private balcony to enjoy the gulf breeze & patiently wait for that beautiful sunset.

So glad you found everything you needed for your girl's beach vacation and you enjoyed your stay with us. We look forward to seeing you again!
Our stay at Sunbird 706 W
9.5 out of 10. It was everything we dreamed of. Would be nice to have washer and dryer in the condo. But we only had to wait for a machine a couple times out of the month. Crockpot would have been a nice asset. Everything was so clean and welcoming and comfortable. Thank you Laura and Bart. Until next timeMike and Karen Snowbirds from MN

Thank you for the crockpot suggestion. We will add that to the kitchen supplies. We hope to be able to have a washer & dryer in the unit and that the Owner's association will allow owners to do so. Our housekeeping team works very hard to prepare the unit for our guests and they will be very pleased to know you appreciated their attention to detail. We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and would look forward to hosting you again.Bart & Laura

PCB vacation 2022
We loved staying in the beautifully decorated beach condo! We loved being able to sit on the deck and see the ocean and listen to the waves roll in. The location is also a plus, we love being able to walk to Pineapple Willy’s for those refreshing frozen drinks!!! The owners were so kind and easy to accommodate our schedule!!! We will definitely try and book this place next time we come to PCB️

So glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to your next visit with us. Yes, that view...it's priceless!
Blessed to find this wonderful home for the week!!
I couldn’t be more pleased with this lovely owner and unit! From the first contact about availability to our stay (currently still here) the owners have done an excellent job with communication, making sure our unit was ready upon arrival, or even before if necessary. The unit was clean, fully stocked, and they stopped by to make sure my daughter had a birthday cake on her birthday! Good people are hard to find, I won’t have to look any farther for our next stay! Thank you both so much!
