If you’re looking for a Panama City Beach condo rental for a short stay, Laketown Wharf is one of the most amenity-packed properties on the strip to book for it. Five pools, a lakefront boardwalk with nightly light shows, on-site dining, and a private beach access point all sit within the same gated property, making it easy to fit a lot into even a quick trip.

What It’s Like to Stay at Laketown Wharf
Laketown Wharf sits on South Thomas Drive in the heart of Panama City Beach, directly across the street from the Gulf with gated, secure beach access for guests. The building wraps around a private lake at the center of the property, and most units have either Gulf views or lake views, depending on which side of the building they face. Inside, units feature an open layout with large windows, modern furnishings, and a private balcony or patio in most units.
Why Guests Keep Coming Back Here
Guests return to Laketown Wharf because the property handles much of the planning for you. Families with younger kids gravitate toward the zero-entry pool and the kiddie splash area, while couples tend to book a unit near the rooftop pool for the Gulf views. The nightly fountain and light show on the lake draws a crowd to the boardwalk most evenings, and it’s become enough of a tradition that returning guests plan their dinner reservations around catching it.
The Amenities That Make Our Laketown Wharf Short-Term Rentals Stand Out
Laketown Wharf packs more on-site amenities into one property than most resorts on the strip. Here’s a closer look at what’s included.
The Five Pools
Five distinct pools cater to a wide range of preferences, including a zero-entry pool with Gulf views, a rooftop pool on the 10th floor, a secluded pool built around the island in the middle of the lake, a dedicated kids’ pool with interactive water features, and several large hot tubs scattered throughout the property. One pool runs on a seasonal heating system, keeping it usable outside peak summer.
The Boardwalk and Lake
The 52,000-square-foot lakefront boardwalk wraps around the property’s central lake and is lit each night for a choreographed fountain-and-light show set to music. It’s a popular evening walk for guests staying anywhere in the building, with restaurant and shop entrances opening directly onto the boardwalk.
Fitness Center
A fully equipped fitness center overlooking the Gulf offers guests a place to maintain a workout routine without leaving the property, with cardio machines and weight-training equipment available to all.
On-Site Dining and Shopping
Laketown Market handles snacks, drinks, and grab-and-go essentials, with Paradise Pizza located inside for a quick slice. Sunshine Bar & Grill serves a full menu for lunch and dinner, and the Splash Bar sits poolside for drinks without leaving your lounge chair. A putting green and several gazebos round out the on-site recreation.
Private Beach Access
Laketown Wharf sits across South Thomas Drive from the beach, and gated private access keeps the walk over secure and exclusive to guests. It’s a short crossing to the sugar-white sand that defines this stretch of Panama City Beach.
Picking the Right Short-Term Rental for Your Trip
Oceanfront condos in Panama City Beach range from cozy one-bedroom units to larger multi-bedroom layouts with bunk areas, so the right unit really depends on group size. A couple chasing Gulf views from the balcony wants a different floor and side of the building than a family of six who plans to spend most of the trip at the kids’ pool. Booking through Vacations Perfected lets us match the unit to what your group actually needs, rather than guessing from a generic listing.
What’s Within Walking Distance
Laketown Wharf’s location on South Thomas Drive puts a lot within easy reach. Pineapple Willy’s sits directly across the street for a classic PCB dinner, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not and WonderWorks are both less than a mile away. Shipwreck Island Waterpark is about two miles down the road, an easy drive if the group wants a break from the resort pools for a day.
