Fully equipped with high-end appliances, generous counter space, and all the cookware you need, these kitchens are designed to handle anything from a simple breakfast to a full turkey dinner with all the fixings.
Cooking together is one of the best parts of the holiday, and our open-concept layouts mean no one is stuck alone in the kitchen. Whether you’re baking pies, mashing potatoes, or carving the bird, the space flows naturally from kitchen to dining area so everyone can be part of the moment. You’ll also find bar seating, large tables, and even outdoor dining options that let you enjoy your meal however you like.
Skip the stress of cooking in a cramped space. Here, there’s plenty of room to spread out, stay organized, and enjoy the process. With a beautiful view just outside the window, you might even forget you’re cooking at all.
Living Rooms Made for Togetherness
After the plates are cleared and the food coma starts to set in, there’s no better place to unwind than the living room. Our rentals come with spacious, welcoming living areas where everyone can pile onto the couch, turn on the TV, and settle in for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or a football game. You can even bring along your favorite board games or cards for a little friendly competition while leftovers warm in the oven.
These living rooms are more than just a spot to pass the time. They’re where stories get shared, naps happen without judgment, and everyone feels at home. With comfortable seating, smart TVs, and plenty of space, you’ll never feel crowded or disconnected from the rest of your group.
For families, these condos to stay in Panama City Beach are great for keeping kids entertained while the grown-ups relax. For couples or small groups, it’s a quiet retreat after a full day of cooking and eating.
Bedrooms for the Best Nap Ever in Our Condos to Stay in Panama City Beach
Let’s be honest. One of the most underrated parts of Thanksgiving is the afternoon nap. After a big meal and a long morning of prep, there’s nothing better than retreating to a quiet, comfortable bedroom and drifting off into a well-earned sleep.
Our rentals feature bedrooms that are cozy, stylish, and designed for rest. You’ll find king and queen beds with soft linens, warm lighting, and plenty of space to stretch out. Many rooms come with blackout curtains or private balconies, so whether you want a deep nap or just a moment of peace, it’s yours to enjoy.
Families can take advantage of multiple bedrooms to give everyone their own retreat, while couples will appreciate the quiet privacy of a master suite. If your group is planning to stay the whole weekend, these bedrooms make it easy to stay refreshed and rested without feeling like you’re living out of a suitcase.
Outdoor Space That’s Actually Fun
One of the best reasons to celebrate Thanksgiving in Panama City Beach is the weather. While other parts of the country are bundling up, you’ll be soaking in the sun. Our rentals come with outdoor spaces that make it easy to spend more time outside, whether you’re sipping your morning coffee on the balcony or enjoying a round of drinks under the stars.
Private decks, porches, and patios give you room to lounge, play, or even host part of your meal outdoors. Fire up the grill, lay out snacks on the picnic table, or simply sit back and catch up while the kids run around in the yard. These spaces are perfect for adding a little fresh air to your holiday routine.
And if your rental has a pool or hot tub, you’ve just found a new Thanksgiving tradition. Nothing says “holiday getaway” like a warm soak or a splash in the pool while everyone else is watching the temperature drop back home.
Hit the Water for Something New
Who says water sports are only for summer? In Panama City Beach, the Gulf stays inviting year-round, and plenty of local outfitters are open during the holidays. Try stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, or even jet skiing for a Thanksgiving activity that gets everyone moving and laughing together.
Water sports are a great way to make the holiday weekend feel different in the best possible way. It adds a little adventure, gives you a break from the kitchen, and might even become your favorite new tradition. Rentals are easy to find and suitable for all skill levels, so you don’t have to be an expert to get out and enjoy the water.
Even if you just want to take a walk along the beach or dip your toes in the surf, the water is always there, ready to add something special to your day.
Cruise the Coast on Two Wheels
If you’re looking for another way to enjoy the fresh air, hop on a bike and explore the coast. Many areas in Panama City Beach are bike-friendly, with wide paths and scenic routes that make it easy to get around. Rent bikes for the whole family or take a solo ride through nearby parks, trails, and beach roads.
Biking is a great way to balance out a day of feasting. You can cruise through neighborhoods, stop at a local coffee shop, or find a quiet spot to enjoy the view. And with weather that’s typically sunny and mild, it’s a refreshing way to spend the afternoon.
Whether you’re biking to burn off the turkey or just taking it slow and soaking in the sights, there’s no better way to connect with the area than on two wheels.
