Visit Laketown Wharf

Travelers like nothing better than a combination deal on flights and lodging—and Sterling Resorts (www.SterlingResorts.com) today announced condo rental values in Panama City Beach to celebrate Southwest Airlines’ announcement of direct flights to the area from Baltimore/Washington, Nashville, Houston Hobby and Orlando.  Just a few short months ago, Southwest Airlines announced that they would be servicing the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport bringing 2 flights from 4 destinations each day, totaling 8 flights and around 2,000 seats.

For a limited time, guests can save up to $100/night with specials on one-bedroom condos from $139/night and two-bedroom condos from $159/night at Laketown Wharf in Panama City Beach.  Southwest’s flights are scheduled to begin May 23 with introductory one-way fares from $49 and $69 through December 18, 2009.

“The Southwest Airlines customer is very loyal to their flight experience. It’s a company that emphasizes fun and comfort through impeccable service, so it’s a great match for the fun of Panama City Beach, the luxury of our properties and our Sterling standard of service,” said Tracy Kundey, President of Sterling Resorts. “We want Southwest Airlines’ customers to know how excited we are to have them fly directly to Panama City Beach, and we’re offering this special pricing as our way of saying welcome.”

Sterling Resorts offers 6 unique properties in Panama City Beach, all in walking or easy driving distance from major attractions including the new Pier Park, an open-air lifestyle center offering unique shopping and dining, from ULTA and Ann Taylor Loft to Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville and Guy Harvey’s Island Grill.

Laketown Wharf is located in the heart of Panama City and features a fitness center, five unique pools, large freshwater lake, and massive lighted fountain choreographed with dancing water, lights, and music for a nightly show.

“Direct flights to Panama City Beach and Sterling Resorts deliver a whole new vacation experience to these markets,” Kundey said. “We’re excited to introduce new communities of guests to our sugar-white sands and emerald waters.” To take advantage of Sterling Resorts’ Southwest lodging discounts or more information, visit www.SterlingResorts.com or call 1-866-5RESORT.
