Luxury Beachfront Penthouse -Sleeps 12,7 Beds,4 BR

At 2,166 square feet, this penthouse lives like a beach house in the sky. The living room, dining area and kitchen share one open space facing the water, and three sliding doors open onto a long balcony, so there is always someone calling the rest of the group over to look. Start in the living room, where a long leather sofa and four leather recliners give you six reclining seats facing the TV and the fireplace beneath it. Behind you, the full kitchen keeps the cook in the conversation: granite counters, stainless appliances, a dishwasher, both a drip coffee maker and a Keurig, a blender, kettle, toaster, wine glasses, and the pots, pans and baking sheet for a real meal. Six eat at the bar and six more at the dining table beside the corner windows, so all twelve of you sit down together. Out on the balcony you will find two chaise loungers, a table for four and an unobstructed view for miles. Sunset happens right here, and later the moon lights up the water. Where everyone sleeps: . Bedroom 1: king bed and a wall of windows on the Gulf. Coffee in bed is a real treat. . Bedroom 2: queen bed plus twin-over-twin bunk beds with brand new mattresses, a huge closet with extra beach items, and a door to the bathroom. . Bedroom 3: king bed, darkening blinds and curtains, a large closet and dresser, and a door straight into the bathroom. . Bedroom 4: two queen beds with darkening blinds and curtains, and a desk. Every bedroom has a Roku TV. The three bathrooms include one with an oversized walk-in shower and two with a tub and shower. All three have grab bars, and one has double sinks. Shampoo, conditioner, body soap and a hair dryer are waiting. A full-size washer/dryer in the condo handles sandy towels, and air conditioning and ceiling fans keep everyone cool after a day in the sun. LOCATION AND WHAT'S NEARBY You are staying at Regency Towers, 5801 Thomas Drive, right on the sand in Panama City Beach.

Panama City Beach regulars also plan a day for the boat ride to Shell Island, shopping and the SkyWheel at Pier Park, and Shipwreck Island Waterpark with the kids. WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR . Family reunions: grandparents take a king bed, the cousins race for the bunk beds, and all twelve of you still fit around dinner. .
