About this apartment rental
The “Sandy Bottom” Gulf Front condo includes new furnishings, appliances, tiled floors, and freshly painted walls. This is the perfect unit for newlyweds, honeymooners, or small families. This fully furnished, one bedroom condo sleeps 2-5(King bed, 2 hall bunks with curtain, and queen sleeper sofa) is a coveted west end unit of the small complex. This means it has unobstructed views of the ocean in front of the unit, and has the west end unobstructed panoramic view to observe the spectacular sunsets every evening from your private covered balcony; and even from within the condo itself! This unit is rented by owner…not a rental agency! This also means your check-in and check-out are right at the unit and you don’t have to find a rental agency to get the key.
The Sandy Bottom is unit # 16 in the Mistral, a very popular low rise 3 story 24 unit complex on Hwy 30-A, in the Seacrest Community. The complex is ideally located between Seaside Beach and Rosemary Beach and has incredible views of Destin to the west and Panama City Beach to the east. You are only minutes away from upscale shopping, golf, and wonderful restaurants. Unit #16 is on the second floor, which is the first floor that can see over the dunes to see the beach itself from the unit; and being the end unit, it is also right next to the condo's dedicated beach access. The Sandy Bottom is also now serviced by the new Panama City Beach Airport.
A 16.9 mile paved bike path crosses through the front of the property for those who want to visit the neighboring communities via bike, take a stroll, or go for a run in the mornings to start your day. Bike parking is provided at the complex, as are community charcoal grills for your use. The beach access comes complete with 2 showers so you can rinse yourself when you leave the beach and go to your private balcony for a relaxing view, nap, read a book, or just sit and listen to the waves.
Did I mention the condo comes fully furnished with full size washer and dryer, all linens, and of course a fully furnished kitchen, wireless high speed internet, DVD player, and 2 wall mounted flat panel TVs; just to name a few of the amenities?

Great beach view and easy access! Appreciated the ease of umbrella rentals and great property communication. A bit of a trek to most restaurants but overall a great place to stay!

This was the perfect place for our family of 4. Our 4 and 7 year old loved the hallway bunk beds. Rails for the bunk beds have been added which I didn’t initially see in the listing pictures. The private beach was fantastic to ensure our area was not over crowded and we loved sitting on the porch every morning and night. The little coffee shop across the street was such a fun bonus! We will definitely be back!

Everything was just great. We stayed just a long weekend. Condo had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was also perfect! Watched dolphins swim by each morning while drinking coffee on the deck. Private beach was great. No overcrowding at all!

The condo was clean and had all the amenities that we could want. The gulf front view is beautiful since the unit is on the west end of the complex. Would love to stay here again!

Our check-in was seamless, the unit was clean and well prepared. The view of the ocean and beach was perfect as well as the direct access and as short walk. Seacrest is perfectly nestled between the busier and crowded neighborhood beaches.

The location is lovely especially being a corner unit. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves and watching the sunsets . We adjusted to the fact that there was no elevator but it maybe should be mentioned in the description.

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Sandy Bottom again! The weather couldn’t have been better and I was able to bike the 30A trail at the front of the condo several times and ride to several places for lunch each day. The view from the deck is spectacular and I enjoyed winding down at the end of the day for the sunset and eating breakfast sitting out on the deck watching the waves. I couldn’t believe how many dolphins were out the first 2 days there. Looking forward to my next stay! Thank you so much!

Great place to get a way for a few days. Very spacious for a couple or family of 4-5. Our favorite part was the view! We loved hanging out on the balcony to watch the waves, the storms, and sunset. The condo is so close to the water that we could hear the waves crashing. Very relaxing trip. There is no smart TV so if you enjoy watching movies or streaming networks I would recommend bringing laptop

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Sandy Bottom! The view from the deck was amazing and I could have sat there the whole stay just looking at the beach view! The condo was just the right size and was a great place to call home for a few days. It’s so close to so many things to do and places to eat and go to. I enjoy the bike trails on 30A and the condo was perfect being right next to the main 30A bike trail. Sandy Bottom is just a fantastic place to stay! I will definitely stay here again and have already booked another stay this spring! Thank you so much!

We had a lovely week at this properly, and all of our communications with the owner were easy and helpful. The location is great with easy proximity to all 30A has to offer, and better still are the incredible beach access and sunset views of this unit.

Great communication with the host and easy accessibility. Right on the beach with a short boardwalk down the steps to the water. Great view, which is especially important to us. Very clean and easy communication with housekeeping for possible early check-in and early departure.

Great condo! Really enjoyed being right on the beach! The chair and umbrella set up company was also very accommodating as we were with other family and they made sure we all were able to sit together!

Beach Paradise
Sandy Bottom is a wonderful place to stay. The condo is clean, comfortable and located right on the beach. All communication and arrival/ check out details were quick and easy. The location is only a bike ride or car ride away from all restaurants and shopping. We are already planning a trip back.

Can’t beat the view!
Everything is as described, and more. Deana and Ray have thoughtfully equipped this condo. It’s not luxurious, but it’s nice, clean and right on the beach. We loved the room darkening shades in the bedroom and great access to ice for the cooler! The little things matter. Thank you for an awesome spot on the beach!

Mistral Stay
Husband and I stayed ant the entire time day/night there were workers upstairs pounding away. Status at 8 and went well past 8pm . The owner upstairs said she would talk to them but it made for a very loud visit and not restful. Needs some updating.

Delightful stay on 30A
This was our first time staying at The Mistral and we absolutely loved it. Diana’s condo has the BEST view of the beach and sunset. We saw dolphins everyday and even a rainbow one evening. Completely magical place. The condo is well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The shower has fantastic water pressure and the beds are cozy. We will definitely be back!

Very nice
We have stayed at the Mistral for many years. This property was very clean and neat. Kitchen was very well appointed with plenty of dishes, tableware, glasses and equipment. View of the beach was most rewarding. Many thanks for a wonderful week.

Perfect location
Great condo with cute decor and well stocked kitchen. Absolutely stunning views from the balcony. I saw a bald eagle on my last morning and even something that looked very shark like swimming in the water. We loved the convenience of being able to walk to the beach. The only suggestions I have are to include shampoo in the shower and cooking oil (I left some cooking spray) and some spices. Otherwise we had everything we could need for this short escape from reality. Thanks Diana!

Perfect family spot
This condo is fabulous! My husband and I spent a week here with our 4 kids. The place was spotless and Diana has thought of every detail. We had every kitchen item we could possibly need, games, books, beach chairs,- you name it. The view is absolutely amazing and the water is so close, you can hear the waves in the living room. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be back!!

Perfect location for small families
Only minor concern on cleanliness was a good amount of sand on the floor behind the couch. Otherwise it was great! Easy access to the beach, perfect room for small families, and a very communicative owner and cleaner.

Perfect location
We love staying in this general area, and this property did not disappoint. The pictures are an accurate representation of the decor, so we knew what to expect. You could notask for a better location, with awesome views from the balcony and only steps away from the beach.Great water pressure in the shower, powerful air conditioner, and immaculately clean unit made our stay quite comfortable. If you don't mind walking a little to the right along the beach, you can easily find a rather private location, if that's your desire. Public beach access is adjacent to the property, so the crowds can get a little dense at peak times. Super responsive owner.

Fabulous location and affordable condo!
We had a great trip to Seacrest over Memorial Day. The condo is exactly as described, and was the perfect size for my husband and me and our two children (ages 6 and 8). There were plenty of dishes and pots and pans, which was great since we were basically eating in every meal because of social distancing. The proximity to the beach and the views from the deck are the selling points of this unit. We are already planning our trip for next year. Thank you!

Very Nice Condo
This condo has one of the most amazing views due to the corner location.
