Nice property and great location. It was nice to have a full kitchen and to spend time relaxing on the huge balcony. Convenient for accessing everything in Baytowne Wharf. Also nice for exploring the surrounding area (Panama City, Grayton Beach Destin).

Excellent Room

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Our only complaint was that it is directly above Rum Runner which is open until 2am. You can hear the music and laughter below. If you need to sleep in silence, this might be a little disruptive. Otherwise, we loved it and highly recommend staying here.

Family Spring Break

I would stay here again just for the awesome location and balcony that overlooks all the action. Easily walked to many restaurants, shops, kid activities, and the marina. Very clean. Our kids liked watching the fireworks from our balcony. Some reviews mentioned the noise level at night, but this didn’t bother us at all. We just put a travel sound machine in the bunk room and our kids slept through the night. The worst noise is the early morning leaf blowing… I know the rental can’t control that at all, but just be warned and bring earplugs. It wouldn’t stop me from staying there again. We had friends with teenagers stay in another Observation Point unit. We’d end all our nights drinking and talking on our balcony while we watched our kids run around to all of the activities below.

We really enjoyed our vacation at 552 Observation Point. Our host was very helpful and welcoming and the online check-in and checkout was great. Sunsets from this balcony are outstanding and the activities below kept us entertained. Not a quiet spot but a fun one!

We enjoyed the view and the room a lot. We did bring a lot of paper products of our own thankfully, but everything else was provided! The kitchen did lack a few things for cooking a large meal, but for a vacation spot was awesome!
