Policies

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations and changes must be made in writing and submitted via email to info@liv-vacations.com. Guest is responsible for confirming Liv Vacations has received cancellation notice.
1. You may cancel with a refund of any deposits paid, less 3% merchant processing fee, on or before 60 days prior to arrival date.
2. Any cancellation made between 59-31 days prior to arrival will receive a refund of 50% of any deposits paid.
3. Reservations cancelled 30 days or less prior to arrival date will receive a refund of only the cleaning fee.
4. No changes can be made to a reservation within 48 hours of arrival date.
Liv Vacations recommends all guests to purchase travel insurance such as Generali Travel Protection at the time of booking. Guest understands that neglect of this recommendation does not warrant any exception to existing cancellation policies. Guest acknowledges they are aware travel insurance exists.

PANDEMIC CANCELLATION POLICY
In the event you wish to cancel your reservation due to personal concerns over a pandemic, Liv Vacations has the following two options available for guests who want their deposits refunded:
1. Liv Vacations will refund any and all monies associated with your stay only if your reservation date occurs during a period of time expressly decreed by an executive order, ordinance, or law closing short-term rental properties from being occupied by guests.
2. Liv Vacations will not be obligated to refund your deposit if you personally decide to cancel your reservation without any interference from a governmental decree, ordinance, or law. However, Liv Vacations will review all requests for refunded deposits by its guest on a situation by situation basis.

TROPICAL WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY
In the event there is tropical weather, including but not limited to Tropical Disturbances, Tropical or Sub-Tropical Cyclones, Tropical Depressions, Tropical Storms, or Hurricanes present in the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico at the time of your reservation and you wish to cancel ahead of an unverified storm trajectory, the Standard Cancellation Policy will apply with the following addenda:
1. Cancellations with refunds of unused nights are issued only in the event of a mandatory evacuation.
2. Since hurricane season is nationally recognized every year from June through November, it is a great idea to secure travel insurance when traveling to our area during that time.
3. No decisions will be made on our end unless a storm warranting a mandatory evacuation is imminent, as confirmed by our local government officials.

Guests are provided multiple courtesy reminders to purchase travel insurance at the time of booking. Liv Vacations will not be liable for Guest's decision to decline travel insurance, and existing cancellation policies will not be altered in the event the Guest waited too long to obtain travel insurance.

Great condo and location

We had such a beautiful stay at Gulf Crest Condominium! As soon as we walked in, that view stopped us in our tracks. It is even better in person.

The condo was super clean, comfortable, and just felt easy to settle into. The balcony quickly became my favorite spot for evening wind downs and listening to the waves. It was everything I needed.

I also loved how convenient everything was. Beach access was simple, the pools were nice, and the property felt well kept and safe. It is close to everything, but still gives you that peaceful, I can actually relax feeling.

Overall, it was one of those stays where you do not feel rushed or stressed. You just enjoy it. I would absolutely come back and definitely recommend it. ?✨

This was our second time staying at this property and it was just as we remembered it. This has been one of our favorite units to stay in and it did not disappoint the second time around. Very clean with plenty of space and the location is perfect. Enjoying the views of the ocean from the balcony and hearing the waves roll in is hard to beat. Great communication as always with Dustin at Liv throughout the entire process.

We had an absolutely incredible stay here and can confidently say this will be our go-to vacation spot for years to come. From the moment we arrived, everything just felt easy, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for.

The location is perfect—close to everything you could need, yet still peaceful and relaxing. Beach access was quick and convenient, which made it so easy to go back and forth throughout the day. The pools and hot tubs were a huge hit with our whole family and gave us plenty of options to unwind after being out in the sun.

What really stood out to us was how safe and welcoming everything felt. Traveling with kids, that peace of mind means a lot, and this place delivered. It truly felt like a home away from home, not just a rental.

We’ve already said this will be our yearly vacation spot moving forward. Our goal is for our kids to grow up thinking of this place as a second home, and this stay made that an easy decision. Everything was just perfect.

Amazing unit

This unit is really nice it is exactly like the pictures. Sun set is amazing from the balcony! We rented for 2 months and had no problem.. Bed in master bedroom was really nice, can't say about the bunks or 2nd bedroom, we never used them. This was our 2nd time renting this condo, and loved every bit of it.

What a stunning place to visit! We didn’t realize the water was so clear, and we understand now why it is called the Emerald Coast.
The condo was top notch and had everything you would need for a short visit or an extended stay. The beds were comfy, cozy. The place was sparkling clean. The balcony was spacious enough for family activities The view was spectacular. The on-site personnel were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely book this unit again when headed to Panama City Beach!

Always great

We enjoyed staying here so much, we will be coming back in October! This place felt like home. I loved the decor and renovations. I'm a very picky person and like a certain type of decor or else I won't like the place I'm staying in. This place looked exactly like the pictures, no surprises. They even had a wagon and 5 chairs for us to use. Free set of beach chairs daily. The elevator was fast. I loved this place so much, I also looked into their other listings and we will definitely be booking from their other listings in the future.

On our way to Panama City Beach [PCB] where we had made reservations with Wyndham for a beach-front condo, we were notified by cell phone while driving toward PCB, about 3 hrs. away, that our reservation had been cancelled; would we accept staying at a Days Inn in town instead? Through a series of phone calls (while still driving toward PCB) friends put us in touch with a Liv Vacations representative, who, by having a cancellation in hand for Gulf Crest Unit 604, offered us the rental of that unit which we GLADLY accepted, providing us with a MUCH BETTER location, a more beautiful view of the beach, and all the amenities of Gulf Crest! Thank You Lord! A gorgeous condo, excellent staff, parking in the condo garage next door, and a potential disaster averted -- all because of a GREAT Liv Vacations representative who happened to be a friend of a friend of ours. Again, we had a GREAT time and are most grateful for the people on your organization's staff!!
PS: after arriving Saturday, on Sunday morning I served as pastor for services and Bible Study at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church (LCMS) in PCB; how providential was that!?!

This place is absolutely wonderful. Immaculately clean and presented. The deep balcony was such a great place to relax and view the beautiful ocean. Great and easy access to the pools and private beach. The bunk beds were so cute and actually bigger than they appear in the photos. My kids loved them, but I could have easily fitted (I’m 5’7”). We also loved the beach chairs that were available. Definitely recommend this great place and would stay there again on our return to PCB!
