Long Sunset Dreams
 
THIS IS IT!
 
Our 1368 square-foot 2-bedroom vacation home is the perfect escape.  It has been TOTALLY RENOVATED recently and is tastefully furnished and decorated.  It has plush carpet, elegant paint with chair-rails, a 50" plasma TV, two 32" LED TV's, an internet blue-ray player, Wi-Fi internet, free long-distance calling, inviting balcony furnishings, an extremely well-equipped open kitchen with granite counters, lots of lamps and lights, huge tubs (bring candles) with multi-pattern shower heads, a dehumidifier for individual use, a CD/FM/AM music system with iPod dock, and extremely comfortable bedding.
 
Our huge covered balcony (with ceiling fan) features spectacular views down the beach in both directions while also providing unbelievable privacy.  One of our favorite features of the location of Long Beach Resort is that it offers over-the-water sunset views all year long.  Our large balcony table has four chairs and can accommodate a couple of additional beach chairs.  We also have two nice comfortable recliners.
 
We have wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling views from both of our master suites and our living and dining room for a total of 42 feet of floor-to-ceiling windows facing the beautiful emerald waters and white sands of Panama City Beach, Florida.  And being at the end of the walkway with only the kitchen and one bath adjacent to the walkway, no one gets disturbed by walkway traffic.
 
You won't find white wicker and cheap glass tables here.  Recently totally remodeled, we made Tower 4, Unit 1007 exactly what we want to have when we escape to the beach.  Our carpet tickles your toes, our granite countertops and bar provide our huge kitchen with a touch of elegance, our furnishings combine taste and luxury, our soothing paint scheme with chair rails provides an element of class, and our entertainment systems provide us with all we expect from home.
 
With two master suites both facing the Gulf of Mexico, it's confusing when one just says "the master suite".  Our West (King) Suite is great because it is on the West end of Tower 4 and features a bonus window that allows you to view the beach to the west while sitting gulfside in the suite's sitting area.  It's the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the mornings and/or drinks in the evening sitting beside 12+ feet of windows above the Gulf.  Plus, it's just a couple of steps from there to the suite's private door to the balcony.  The mattress for our Polynesian bedroom suit is "plush firm" with 868 individually pocketed coils.  The bath in our King Suite has a large marble garden tub and marble double sinks.
 
Our East (Two-Queen) Suite is just slightly larger than our King Suite.  It also has 12 feet of windows on the Gulf and a private door to the balcony.  Both mattresses on the iron-framed beds have 720 individually pocketed coils.  One mattress is "firm" while the other is "plush".  All mattresses in all rooms have premium encasement protectors.  The bath in our Two-Queen suite has an over-sized marble garden tub and a separate dressing area with marble double sinks.  Both suites have large walk-in closets.
 
Our large Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cook and entertain in style if desired.  While in the kitchen, you can still enjoy our magnificent gulf views and enjoy looking west in our mirrored east wall.   And with the mirror wall, no one will miss seeing the water, regardless of where they are sitting at the gorgeous marble-laminated table.  We have six designer chairs at the table with two matching chairs in the King Suite sitting area that can be used to expand seating to eight.  Additionally, we have four designer bar stools for seating at the bar.
 
Our "Living" area features a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV and a Blue-ray player.  Free HBO, HBO 2, and Showtime 2 are provided.  We also have a Sony CD/FM/AM music system with iPod dock.  Our sofa has a premium Sealy full-size sleeper mattress to accommodate an extra guest in style.  Sorry, but you'll have to retreat to the King Suite, if you need to use a VHS player.  Both Suites have 32" LED TV's and DVD player.
 
Our cable modem provides free wireless internet AND free local and long distance calling (voice over IP) to the continental U.S. and Canada.  We love our system, and it works well when we are there.  Consequently, we beg our guests to not disturb our system if they encounter problems trying to connect.  For those cases, we have provided an ethernet cable connection.
Our laundry room has a new full-sized stacked washer and dryer pair.  Standard accessories such as an iron, an ironing board, and hair dryers are also provided.
 
Long Beach Resort is in the heart of the "action" while still boasting large private grounds.    While 24-story condo's have become the norm at PCB, Long Beach towers are only 14-stories tall with only seven units per floor.  You can unload/load you vehicle under cover at the automatic front doors which are just steps from the elevators.  Each tower has two "intelligent" elevators that automatically send one car to the ground floor when the other car departs.  When going to the beach, you walk out of the elevator, turn right, exit the beachside lobby door, and walk just a few steps to the sand!
 
Long Beach Resort has a large lagoon pool (6800 sq. ft) with waterfalls, three whirlpool hot-tubs, two Polynesian pools (heated seasonally), an onsite bar and grill(seasonal), beautifully landscaped grounds, and on-site beach rentals (lounge chairs, umbrellas, jet skis, banana boat rides, and parasail - also seasonal).  There is 24-hour gated access and security, security cameras distributed around the property, and direct phone access to the security gate.
 
Long Beach Resort is convenient to great restaurants and many of the area's attractions such as Wonder Works and Ripley's.  Coyote Ugly Saloon, beach shops, a liquor store, and a Super Walmart are all right across the street!
 
Our vacation home is NON-SMOKING.  Sadly, Pets are NOT allowed per homeowner association rules.  Renters MUST be 25 or older AND MUST personally occupy our vacation home during the entire rental term.  Occupancy is limited to a MAXIMUM of seven people with NO MORE THAN FIVE being OVER 18.

circumstances. Guests who will be arriving later than 5PM should make late arrival arrangements by telephone
prior to arrival. Early check-ins require special arrangements and may be available for an additional fee. Our
