Beachfront Condominium Accommodations

The Summit Condominiums offers 1 to 3-bedroom beachfront units with Gulf of Mexico views. Each unit includes a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, microwave, fridge, and dishwasher, a washer/dryer, and a balcony or walk-out patio. The 1-bedroom units sleep up to 6 guests, featuring a king bed, bunk beds, and a queen sofa sleeper. Two-bedroom units accommodate 8, while three-bedroom penthouses sleep 12. All units have central heating and air conditioning, cable TV, and free high-speed Wi-Fi.

On-Site Dining Options

The Summit Market Shop provides sundries, gourmet coffee, ice cream, and a food menu with hamburgers, salads, and wraps. Bikini Bob's Restaurant, open seasonally, serves casual beachside meals. The poolside Tiki Bar offers drinks and snacks. Nearby dining includes Captain Anderson's, known for seafood, and other local restaurants in Panama City Beach, the 'Seafood Capital of the World.'

Resort Amenities & Activities

The Summit features 2 Olympic-sized pools, 2 children's pools, and 3 hot tubs (2 outdoor, 1 indoor). Recreational facilities include lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, pickleball, shuffleboard, and a fitness center. Beach services offer chair rentals, jet skis, banana boat rides, and parasailing. The resort also has a laundromat, charcoal grills, picnic areas, and a seasonal bonfire setup.

Prime Panama City Beach Location

The Summit is on Panama City Beach's sugar-white Emerald Coast, 35 km from Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. Nearby attractions include Club La Vela (0.3 km), Ripley's Believe It or Not (1.5 km), and Pirate's Island Adventure Golf (2 km). The area is known for diving, with coral reefs and shipwrecks, and hosts events like the Gulf Coast Triathlon and Indian Summer Seafood Festival.

Guest Services & Policies

The resort provides 24-hour security, gated access, and free parking (7-foot clearance). On-site services include beach chair rentals, water sports bookings, and a convenience store. Cleaning fees apply, and summer rentals require Saturday-to-Saturday stays. Pets and emotional support animals are not permitted. In case of evacuation orders, refunds are issued for affected days.

“The Summit Condominiums certainly earns points with its prime beachfront location in Panama City Beach, putting guests steps from the Gulf and within walking distance of local restaurants. I like the on-site amenities, from multiple pools (including kiddie pools) and hot tubs to the tiki bar, but some of the condos themselves appear dated and could benefit from an update.”
