This top (8th) floor unit located on beach, has all the views and everything you need!
“Take Me A Wave” is in Panama City Beach, situated on the quiet end of Thomas Drive, yet still close to restaurants and main strip, therefore it is a relaxing and amazing location. The condo building is a smaller one, it is only eight floors and 61 units total, meaning no lines for elevators or trying to find a spot on the beach (we have all the beach in front of our building).
We are a 2-bedroom, split floorplan, 2-bath, top floor condo located right ON the beach. The spacious master features a King size bed, workspace, sofas and en suite bath. The second bedroom has a very comfortable Queen size bed; there is an equipped kitchen including (Keurig + drip coffee makers) and space to sit. You can drink your morning coffee on the private beachfront balcony and watch the dolphins jump in the water and enjoy the peace of the morning. There is even a desk if you need to get some work done, or plan to work a little and play alot! Sunsets are picture perfect and the beach is definitely good for the soul. Spend the day on the beach and then take a walk at sunset, it’s the best way to spend the day!
We have private beach access and also have beach stuff* for you to use while staying: beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, toys, tubes, inflatable life vests boogie boards and bags.
*beach supplies not guaranteed as these are provided, however things happen and sometimes the ocean takes something, the wind kicks up and the umbrella or something else ends up a mile away or something gets a tear in it. We replace numerous times, but cannot guarantee what is there each time.
Area Information
On the quiet end of Thomas Drive, but walking distance to restaurants, attractions and the best ice cream shop (at the front of the parking lot). Still easy to get to Pier Park if you want to go there one day, about 10 minutes away.
Great place to ride bikes or golf carts as means of transportation.
Favorite Places To Eat
A couple of places we have found that are great and not tourist traps:
-Captain Anderson’s - this is a great place and been around probably the longest. They open at 4:30 and fills up fast, but then once the first group gets done eating it starts to get a lull about 6 some nights before picking up again, probably not the weekend. Grouper, shrimp, crab tenders, and She crab soup just to name a few faves. Hush puppies come with meal, also delish.
-C-Level - grouper (and cheeks), crab cakes and the best key lime pie we have found down there.
-Bayou on the Beach (not actually on the beach and closed Sunday & Monday)- who dat shrimp, anything with the who dat sauce, tuna, the regular shrimp.
-Schooners is down on the beach - has the best crab cakes, tuna is also good, if you get something and want to split, they will do it in the kitchen and you’ll end up getting more that way!
-Patches - hole in the wall about 3 miles down, right past Schooners, great Rueben & Cuban sandwiches, sweet potato & regular fries(crispy), pizza is also good and actually never had anything there that is not good.
-Marathon gas station on Thomas Dr, yes, it is random, but has the best sandwiches. People talked about it, so we checked it out. You can even call ahead if you want. They have sandwiches, the Rueben is my favorite, husband loves the Cuban, that is how we found out about it. It’s the one at 1724 Thomas Dr. We go in the morning and get so we can have for lunch on the beach.

About the host: Welcome!
We live in TN and have two dogs, four ducks and 30 chickens.
The beach has always been my happy place, probably because my parents started bringing me before I was even a year old. I’ve always dreamed of having a place on the beach, and happy to finally have. My husband and I just bought 3/2023, it took us about a month cleaning, painting, updating, changing and adding a second bedroom to the place, now it’s homey!

Terri K.Wonderful Stay
We enjoyed our stay in 806 so very much. It is a beautiful condo with all that you need! There were beach chairs and toys available for use! Restaurants and grocery store very close by. Very secure complex with friendly and helpful staff on site. They had a garbage truck hit a water main on site while we were there so we lost water for one evening and part of next day but that wasn’t their fault and they did everything to get it fixed quickly. One gentleman that worked there brought a 5 gallon bucket of pool water up to room so we could at least flush toilets! lol! Worked with owner Jennifer directly for booking and she was very helpful and responsive! Will definitely stay there again!

AMANDA R.Awesome Beach Condo
We enjoyed our stay at this condo in PCB! Sitting on the balcony enjoying the sight and sound of the waves was so nice. There are so many restaurants and shops nearby. This is a great location for a condo in PCB and I highly recommend it!

We stayed here August 1st through the 9th. We absolutely loved everything about this condo. It was in a good location, the pool was quiet, and there was not much elevator traffic. The condo had everything we needed and then some. We enjoyed having the sand toys and extra beach chairs. There was card games under the TV, which helped on a rainy day or before bed. The kitchen was very spacious and had everything needed to make meals. It was nice having the washer and dryer as well. We will for sure be back to this location. The staff in the office was friendly too, all around, a perfect stay.

Absolutely wonderful facility for a small family! The master was outrageously large and beautiful! 4 of us went and had plenty of room! The beach was absolutely wonderful and never crowded in the 9 days we went! Jennifer was amazing to deal with and answered every question I had! Highly recommend this condo!!

Autumn T.Beautiful Condo
Beautifully decorated condo. We enjoyed the large updated accommodations for our family of 5. Especially enjoyed the master bedroom mattress. Best sleep I’ve had in a while! It was a stormy week so it was nice to have such an enjoyable space to relax. Comfortable balcony furniture as well. Pleasantly surprised to find beach chairs, umbrellas and sand toys for the kids to use in the big master closet! Host was amazing, she stayed in contact upon arriving and checked in on us. Hope to visit again in September!

Melissa B.Perfect!
I was worried about booking a place in PC Beach the week after school got out, but this place was perfect! This was a quiet beach area so we never felt crowded. Now everywhere else was crowded.. haha! We had beautiful weather and water conditions! The 2nd bedroom was a little smaller than I thought it would be but it worked! The balcony was large and had awesome views. The mattress in the master bedroom was comfortable for me. (I have chronic pain issues and hotel mattresses are terrible!) We are from AL but I’ve never stayed in PC beach before..but this was a great visit. Great value for condo directly on the beach!

Lisa A.Girl’s Trip
We enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean and well stocked for what we needed. The secondary bedroom does not get a lot of airflow with the door closed, but it wasn’t unbearable. Plenty of seating on the balcony and great beach access.

KikiAmazing stay
We love this place!!! We have came to PCB several times and this is the best one we have ever stayed in. We love we didn’t have to wait forever in the elevator nor try to find a spot on the beach! The view from the balcony was amazing, and the place was spotless! we will definitely consider this place again when we return for our next beach vacation! Thanks for hosting us!

Robbin K.Fantastic Views
What a relaxing vacation! The first thing we noticed was the fantastic view from the balcony. I spent a lot of time in the evenings out on the balcony sitting on the couch and reading! The water was absolutely beautiful, emerald green shores and so calm and crystal clear. We lucked out and had beautiful weather all week long. The location was great. You could see high rises, but they were far enough away that there were not people on top of people at the beach and it was very easy to find a spot as close to shore as you wanted, and if you wanted to go anywhere, most things were 5-7 minutes away! The master bedroom was HUGE with a walk in closet and plenty of water toys inside for kids, and plenty of room to store your luggage out of the way and hang up your clothes. The kitchen was well appointed, anything you would need for meal prep was there. A nice little family friendly condo complex. I will definitely be back.
