I said I’d never buy a condo in Panama City Beach. Then we found this deal. Brea and I turned a dated two-bedroom unit into a Super Property — bold design, better function, and bookings rolling in. From hand-painted murals to a reworked kitchen layout that makes the whole place feel bigger, we pulled out all the stops (and stayed under budget). We walk through the numbers, the before-and-after upgrades, and the exact design moves that created real separation in a saturated market.
