Stay safe. Know the beach flags
When swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, safety should be your top priority. In Panama City Beach, color-coded beach flags are in place to keep the public aware of sea conditions. On Double Red Flag days during the summer airplane banners may be flown alertingthose on our beaches to the conditions. Be aware that conditions in the Gulf of Mexico are constantly changing. Always watch the flag colors and use good judgment to determine whether it's safe to enter the water. Remember, double red means stay out of the water! So, stay aware, and have fun on our gorgeous Florida beaches!
*Absence of Beach Flags Does Not Assure Safe Waters
If you'd like text alerts when the flags change you can sign up
Why should I book a vacation rental over a hotel? There are many reasons for considering a vacation rental over a hotel. They are great for letting you feel more like a local, providing a comfortable setting for families or groups that want to stay together, if you don’t like being bothered by housekeepers, home amenities such as full kitchens, private pool or separate bedroom, living and dining areas. The cost-savings and convenience of preparing your own meals, storing snacks and in-home entertainment. Basically, you will love a condo or beach home if you enjoy getting together with your family and friends in a home-like environment with the benefits of your own space and privacy!
Does my vacation rental include daily housekeeping and linens? When you make your reservations with Resort Destinations, your condo or beach home will be stocked with bathroom and bedroom linens. Please know that beach towels are not included and can be purchased from one of our vendors. While daily housekeeping and linen exchange is not included, it is available for an additional charge and for your convenience, all our condos and beach homes have a washer & dryer available.
What do I need to bring? We recommend bringing a “Vacation Survival Kit”! While every one of our rentals is fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, silverware and glasses and includes a starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent packs and dish soap, it is not usually enough for your entire stay. Consider including the following in your kit: Extra TP, paper towels, dishwasher tabs, laundry detergent and softener, spices, oils, any specialty pans you may need!
Who counts toward the total occupancy? We don’t start counting kids toward occupancy until they are over the age of 2

For more information visit Travel Guard at https://www.travelguard.com/, CSA Travel Protection at https://www.csatravelprotection.com/ or the travel insurance carrier of your choice.
What is the difference between Travel Insurance and a Damage Waiver? Travel Insurance helps to safeguard your trip by adding protection for delays, interruptions, and cancellations. A Damage Waiver is not insurance at all, it is simply a fee the Guests pays which covers up to an allotted amount of accidental damage during the time they stay at the vacation rental.
Can I bring my pet? Whether a pet (dogs only, no cats or other animals at this time) is allowed at a vacation rental is property specific. Please check to make sure the property you are reserving is pet friendly. Please know that additional regulations apply such as pet deposits, pet registration and weight limits.

Once our professional cleaning company has cleaned, inspected, and released the vacation rental to us, you will be given a notification and the keyless entry code for the property.
Can I Check-in Early? Our professional cleaning company needs time to complete their job!
