The Starfish Studio directly on the beach - FREE beach chairs daily!

This beauty is beachfront, bright, clean, quiet, and comfortable. When you're ready to relax on one of the world’s most beautiful white sand beaches, this is the place.

But don't just take our word for it: 

"This place was amazing! I want to live in Megan’s place. Not only was she the most wonderful and comprehensive host I’ve ever had, every single detail was spot on. I will 100% be back to PCB, and I will 100% be seeking out this gem again. The icing on the already fantastic cake was the chair service. Being able to walk out to the beach carrying just a small bag was amazing. If you’re on the fence about booking a vacation here, just do it. You won’t be disappointed." - Cassie S., Towson, MD

With tremendous views of the beach and the pool, it is ideally located on the 5th floor. The condo is remodeled, upgraded, and features 2 queen beds, a dining table for 4, two recliners, a smart TV with HD service, a kitchen area with all you need for meals or snacks, LVP flooring and updated lighting, pots/pans, granite countertops, a gorgeous bathroom with walk in shower, rainshower head and wand, and a floor to ceiling window for gorgeous views of the Gulf + a Bay window that opens (NO PRIVATE BALCONY). We provide starter amounts of soaps and paper products like tp, paper towels, and trash bags. (Please plan to bring/buy additional if your stay is longer than a couple of days.)

Every floor offers a large, communal balcony with comfy chairs to enjoy. And when you're ready to head out each day, we offer *Complimentary Beach Service* - enjoy two chairs and an umbrella every day of your stay (March-October). No lugging your own--we're all about convenience for guests on vacation.

Avoid the crowds in this cozier complex (just 199 condos and 8 stories) that offers easy in and out and quick elevators. In the highly sought-after Thomas Drive area, Top of the Gulf is one of the best-maintained complexes offering all the beachside amenities you want to complement your vacation. The grounds and landscaping are gorgeous, and the pool is stunning. A kids' pool is ideal for little ones, and ample pool chairs are available. Check out the shuffleboard court and cornhole boards for games in the sun or an inside game room that is newly remodeled gets you away from the heat. There is a fitness room with new equipment on property as well.

Our Surf Snack Shack operates in season with a delicious menu of eats and drinks (adult beverages and otherwise) sits between the pool and the beach--easily accessed from either. Or you can grill up your own fare on the provided guest grills.

Coin laundry facilities are located throughout the complex.

Primary renter must be at least 21 years old, sign a rental agreement within 48 hours of booking, be present for the duration of the stay, and agree to a $200 damage deposit hold (not a charge) placed on a credit/debit card that will be released after his/her uneventful stay. A $30 fee is required by the Resort to be paid upon arrival. Guaranteed parking for one car; a second is possible depending on occupancy of the resort, or there is a pay lot 1-2 miles away. The maximum guests allowed in the condo is 4. No pets, ESA, or visitors allowed.

Cancellation Policy: One hundred percent (100.00%) of the total booking charges (less $150.00 cancellation fee) will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 30 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 30 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.

We are John, Megan & Chase Hicks. The three of us have long been avid travelers, heading everywhere from the beaches to the ski slopes, enjoying popular areas as well as more remote ones in the U.S., Mexico, Caribbean, and Europe. With such a passion for travel, we had a desire to own vacation destination homes for our own enjoyment as well as for others'. We typically stay in condos in our travels and know what amenities make these home-away-from-homes everything they should be to complete an ideal getaway. And we've poured that knowledge and love into making these condos some of the best vacation homes you'll experience. Since we also visit them to bask in the PCB sun, rest assured these are both more than just places to stay; they're designed for you to feel right at home. We hope you enjoy!
