The Princess can be a good fit for buyers who want a Gulf-front Panama City Beach condo in a smaller, quieter resort setting, with generous balconies and strong beach amenities. It may appeal to vacation-rental investors, second-home buyers and owners who want to spend part of the year at the beach.
The beachfront location and resort amenities can help attract vacation guests, but that does not automatically make every unit a strong investment. Floor plan, floor level, Gulf view, balcony position, interior condition, furnishings, rental history and total ownership expenses can create substantial differences between two condos in the same building.
Before purchasing, review both the individual condo and the condominium association. Current dues, insurance, reserves, structural reports, pending projects, special assessments and rental rules can matter just as much as the asking price.
Building information can change or differ among public sources. Buyers should verify unit dimensions, parking rights, storage, association responsibilities and all material facts through the current listing, condominium documents, association records and professional inspections.
Princess Condo Rentals, the resort's on-site rental management company, describes these features:
Amenity availability, operating hours, pool-heating schedules and access policies can change. Confirm current information with the condominium association before relying on a particular amenity.
Day-to-day details at the Princess:
Obtain the current written rules before buying or booking. Posted hours and procedures may change.
The Princess contains 74 condos in two-, three- and four-bedroom Gulf-front floor plans. The typical two-bedroom, two-bath layout is about 1,595 square feet, and units feature oversized private balconies with privacy walls, full-size washers and dryers, wet bars and free wireless internet.
Do not rely only on the advertised bedroom count. Review the floor plan, property records and appraisal requirements carefully.
When comparing Princess condos, pay attention to:
The Princess sits on the quiet east end of Thomas Drive, with St. Andrews State Park minutes away. The location provides direct beach access while keeping seafood restaurants, beach bars, family attractions and everyday services within a short drive.
The Princess is not next to Pier Park. Buyers who place the highest priority on walking to Pier Park may prefer a building farther west. The Princess is generally better suited to buyers who want a quieter east-end setting, direct beach access and proximity to St. Andrews State Park and the Thomas Drive restaurant corridor.
The Princess has no dedicated webcam. Check nearby condo guide pages for live beach cams.
Owners and guests at the Princess have some of Panama City Beach's best-known seafood restaurants and outdoor attractions within a short drive on the east end and along Thomas Drive:
Hours, menus and tour schedules change seasonally. Check each business directly before planning a visit.

Many Princess condos have historically been marketed and operated as vacation rentals, and the resort has an on-site rental management company, Princess Condo Rentals. However, buyers should never assume rental permission based on an old listing or another owner's rental advertisement.
Before purchasing a Princess condo for short-term rental use, verify:
Confirm the property's jurisdiction, then review the applicable City of Panama City Beach short-term rental information and confirm the requirements that apply to the individual property.

Gross rental revenue is only the first number to review. A strong-looking revenue figure can produce disappointing cash flow after management fees, association dues, utilities, cleaning, maintenance, insurance, taxes, supplies, licensing and periodic improvements are deducted.
A realistic Princess rental analysis should consider:
Do not apply one condo's rental performance to every unit in the building. View, floor plan, condition, photography, reviews, furnishings, sleeping capacity, management quality and owner usage can materially affect revenue.
Princess buyers should obtain and review current association documents rather than relying on an old MLS listing or an online estimate.
Request the following during due diligence:
Association fees and assessment information can change. Current figures should be verified for the individual condo through the seller, listing agent, association, lender and closing professionals.
Condo financing depends on both the borrower and the building. A buyer can have excellent credit and still encounter financing problems if a lender has concerns about insurance, reserves, commercial space, owner occupancy, pending litigation, structural reports or other project-level requirements.
Before making an offer, speak with a lender who regularly finances Panama City Beach resort condos. Ask whether the lender has recently approved loans in the Princess and which project documents will be required.

Cash buyers should complete the same association and building review. Paying cash removes the lender's project review; it does not remove the underlying risk.
Buyers often compare the Princess with Shores of Panama, Treasure Island, Boardwalk Beach Resort, En Soleil, Majestic Beach Resort, Edgewater Beach & Golf Resort and other Gulf-front buildings. Important differences include location, unit size, amenities, parking, rental rules, association finances, insurance and total ownership costs.
Use the Panama City Beach Condo Buildings Comparison Guide to compare popular resorts by location and buyer fit.
The best building is not necessarily the newest, least expensive or the one reporting the highest gross rental revenue. It is the building whose rules, financial condition, ownership costs and location fit your intended use and risk tolerance.
A buyer's review should go beyond touring the condo. Roger Rietsema helps buyers compare the individual unit, recent sales, association information, financing questions, insurance concerns, rental history and estimated ownership costs before important contract deadlines expire.
Buyer representation may include:
No rental return, financing approval or future appreciation can be guaranteed. The goal is to understand the property and its risks before becoming contractually committed.
Princess owners need more than general Panama City Beach marketing. Buyers frequently ask about dues, assessments, reserves, insurance, rental history, financing, parking, furnishings and view quality before deciding whether to tour or make an offer.
A strong listing strategy should include:
If the condo is actively rented, future reservations, deposits, management agreements and guest access must be handled carefully. Those details can affect contract terms and closing preparation.
Start with what to know before buying a Panama City Beach condo and the current Panama City Beach housing market guide. Broad market trends provide context; use Princess-specific closed sales and a unit-level expense estimate when evaluating an offer.
For a separate rental-management perspective, review Princess Condo Rentals, the resort's on-site rental management company, and ask about the particular condo. These rental resources are separate from brokerage services and do not establish Princess availability.

Financing may be available, but approval depends on the borrower, condo and condominium project. Contact a lender experienced with Panama City Beach resort condos before making an offer.

Current Princess listings appear near the top of this page. Availability can change quickly. If you do not see a condo that fits your needs, Roger can check the MLS for active listings, coming-soon properties, recent sales and units that may return to the market.

Before buying a Princess condo, compare the asking price, Gulf view, condition, association finances, insurance, rental history and likely ownership expenses. A lower-priced condo is not always the better value if it needs substantial work or carries greater association risk.
