Perfect Getaway

Yaya’s place was a fantastic place to stay! Comfortable bedding, best sheets and best towels we’ve had at any VRBO condo! This was our first time not staying right on the beach, and being across the street. Yaya has the condo equipped with a wagon that made transporting our beach essentials to the private access walkway to the beach! Will definitely be back!

Yayas Beach Home

Yaya is the absolute best! My boyfriend, myself, 3 friends and 2 kids stayed here and we felt like we were home. Yaya has ABSOLUTELY everything you could possibly need in the kitchen (even kid plates and cups). We are already in the process of picking out dates for our next beach trip at Yay’s home away from home.

Great Location

My family and I have made PCB a regular vacation spot. LakeTown Wharf has by far been our favorite location. Excellent location, Awesome food on property. Beach access is super easy to get to. Our only complaint / frustration is the elevators. It was normal to wait 20-30 minutes for the elevators no matter which ones you choose to use.

Great Property, Great Host

My family stayed at Yaya’s condo while our daughter was participating in a weeklong softball tournament, and her place was the perfect retreat and break from the daily grind. The unit was very comfortable and accommodating, also the view from the balcony is priceless. The elevators can require some patience but once you figure them out they aren’t bad. We enjoyed the pools, beach, and some of the local offerings and if we are ever back in PCB will look to stay here again.
