"Three years in a row we have stayed at the Osprey had a great time, excellent service. Met a lot of nice people from all over while were there. Even with some bad weather it was great staying at the Osprey. Can not wait until next year. "

Anthony, Amber & Abram Freeman, Johnson City, TN

"We have stayed at the Osprey and the Driftwood for years now. When
we go on vacation these are the only two places we stay. The staff & other
guest are very friendly, not to mention this is a great location. You also have
different things to do for the adults & children. We can't wait until we get
there in the middle of August."

Kay Lee, Dallas, GA

"Just got back home for our stay at the Osprey in PCB. We had a great
time. Our stay at the Osprey was great. Clean rooms, great rates, and friendly staff. We will be staying there again very soon. I got out of bed this morning, wishing I was still there. Oh well, back to the real world for a little while!!! Hope to see you in the fall, if not, next summer for sure. Kay Lee and family."

Chris & Kristen, Winchester, VA

"We have been staying at the Osprey two times a year for 4 years now. We would not want to stay anywhere else in PCB. The staff is friendly and helpful and the rates cant be beat for the room you get. We have never had a problem any of the times that we have stayed here. They host events for the kids and adults which is realy nice. We are planning our Fall vacation right now. The rates the Osprey offers are by far the best in PCB which makes it affordable and enjoyable at the same time. We love the Osprey!"

Nicole Riley, Louisville, KY

"This was the best family vacation that I have ever been on. There were
events planned for the children at the Osprey that kept my daughter and nephew
busy daily. Movie night at the pool was awesome. The room was nice and
clean..Loved the kitchen! The shopping area was right across the street. We
can't wait to come back. My daughter and I may share an early Christmas at the
Osprey! Thanks for everything."

Bill & Mona Hart, Roscoe, IL

We look forward to meeting all of the friends we've made throughout the years, every May at the Osprey . And of course, big thanks to Darrell at the tikki bar,for putting up with ALL of us, for all the great service and terrific sandwiches he provides. He goes out of his way to take care of our group every May.Can't find a better place to stay than the Osprey & Driftwood Hotels. See you next year!"

Justin, Edwardsville, IL

"I felt like I was a totally different person, the service was good,
the maids did an awesome job,(and usually I have people stealing my stuff at
other hotels!) I would totally recommend everyone to go to this hotel!"

Pat Roberts, Kingsport, TN

"We have stayed at the Osprey since 1991. We had not been there since
1995 or 1996. We were shocked at PCB. The high rises and condos weren\'t there
when we were last there, but thank God the Osprey is still there and still the
same! It is the most wonderful place for a vacation in the world. Please stay
just the way you are."

Sandy Gleaves, Murfreesboro, TN

"April 08' we spent 3 delightful nights here. It didn't even matter that the weather was less than pleasant. Our room was quite acceptable. Loved the covered parking and that there are only 6 floors. All rooms have private balconies. We felt safe and just far enough away from the rougher end of the strip. We plan to return soon."

Tammy Mina, Nashville, TN

"We have been staying at the Osprey for 6 years, sometimes twice a
year. We love them! Great location, great price and a safe family atmosphere. I am booking rooms for this years vacation now. We can hardly wait to get there."

"My family considers The Osprey a home away from home. We look forward to returning in the spring with Grandma and Grandpa Middendorf!!!!"

Thanks for the great vacation last week! Your motel is the best around and this is about the 6th or 7th year that we have been there in a row! Had a lot of fun with Darryll the bartender too! See you in June!"

John Brodmann

"Dear Suzanne, Cindy, Ivana, Bob, et al. Greetings from Canton, Missouri! Just a brief note to say "Thank You" for a great stay at the Osprey On The Gulf (June 10-16, 2007). My grandson and I had a wonderful time even though he had just broken his leg in a four-wheeler accident prior to leaving Missouri. Ah, youth! The watermelon each afternoon at 1:00 p.m. was really appreciated. Thank you also for your kind attention to my request for a softer pillow and a blanket. You will understand when you are 73! My very best wishes to you. Please take care."

Marlina Smith

"My husband and I brought our children to the beach for their first time this past Memorial weekend. We had a great stay here at the Osprey. Everyone was very nice and the rooms were very clean. I would recommend this place to anyone with children. They have a great pool and hot tub area. The play ground area on the beach is great for little ones. The Osprey is a great place to stay and we will definetly plan our next trip to Panama City and will be staying here again. Thanks for a great family vacation!!!"

Charlie Laughlin
San Antonio, TX

"This past week, we spent three days and two nights at your Osprey On The Gulf location on Panama City Beach. My wife, Chris, and I wanted to thank you for your hospitality and the wonderful experience you allowed us to have by providing such an affordable yet lovely facility.

First, you had already exempted us from your "three night minimum" requirement after I appealed to you. That was very gracious of you to do that.

Second, you placed us in what I would consider one of the prime rooms in your facility - Room 602. The view was spectacular not to mention how clean and bright the room was. We have stayed at beach locations at three of Texas' prime beach locations (i.e. Galveston, Port Arkansas, & South Padre Island) at similarly priced facilities. None of them compare to what you provide for your guests.

Third, your staff was extremely helpful. Everyone to whom we spoke was courteous and if they could not answer a question, they would find someone who could.

You can be assured that we will (and already have) recommend both the Osprey On The Gulf and the Driftwood Lodge to others PLUS when we make plans to stay in Panama City Beach again, you will be our first choice for a place to stay.

You are a tremendous example of being able to still find quality service and amenities for an affordable price. Blessings on you for making that possible."

Victoria Huffines

"It was such a great get away! My family felt so relaxed and safe within the motel. The people were great that we had met. It was a great stay."

"I have always enjoyed my stay at The Osprey. Very family oriented. I bring my granddaughters there for spring break. Then in September it is my sister and my turn. Have never had a bad experience at The Osprey. Was not able to make in last September or this spring break but I always want to return to The Osprey, as I will this September. Also, love the clam chowder."

Ron And Denise Davis

"We just want to say we really enjoyed our stay on March 10th and 11th '07. Most motels would turn you away if you like to stay one or two days. Not at this motel. The staff is great and the motel is very clean. We will away make plans to stay here. Room 601 awesome room. Please stay in business...no high rise! Thank you so much..."

Dedra Garrett

"My husband and I recently had our first stay at The Osprey in September of this year. The location is perfect, just far enough away from the major activity. The staff was extremely friendly and professional. The word that comes to mind when describing the Osprey is "comfortable". The assurance that you can relax. Thank you for your contribution to a wonderful vacation."

Darryl & Andrea
Louisville, KY

"We just got back from Panama City Beach.You can't always believe what you read, but in this case it is true. Bob and the ladies and all of the staff were so friendly. We even looked at a larger room for future visits. See you next year..."

Karen McKee
Birmingham, AL

"My first visit was in August and I was so impressed. Not only are the staff very friendly, but our room was very clean and it was kept clean our entire stay! My last hotel visit was not even comparable. This type of customer service is rare. The covered parking is very nice and the location is convenient to everything. I am so glad I have finally found my new home away from home and I look forward to staying here again. Keep up the great work! Just wish PCB was building more places like yours instead of tearing them down!"

Lynn Wilson
Murrayville, GA

"We had a wonderful stay at the Osprey. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was so clean and fresh.The location makes walking to the fishing pier or local businesses a pleasure. We have found our new home away from home. Thanks for a great vacation Osprey!!!"

Nina Smith
Shep, KY

"My family and I have been regulars at The Osprey On The Gulf for six years now and our children and their friends have came with us through the years have grown; they are still coming with us as adults. A lot of your staff have watched them grow and it's always been a comfort knowing they were watched over even when they would get into a little mischief! Just knowing they were safe on property was always a plus."

Tina Hinkebein
Pekin, IN

"We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your property. The kids had an absolute blast being able to use 2 pools: the one at your motel and at the Driftwood also. The location was perfect, atmosphere was perfect, room was outstanding and the staff was so friendly. We WILL be back in the future and we are referring you to all of our friends and family who usually go the Destin area. Thank you for our most enjoyable vacation ever."

Richard Briggs
Gadsden, AL

"Our first stay at the Osprey was excellent. We felt really welcomed and are really looking forward to next year's visit. After being mistreated by another motel last year, we were pleased to be treated so great as we so all the customers treated the same. Thanks to all of your great staff. We can not wait until next year and we will tell everyone."

Amy Galindo

"My first stay at The Osprey was about a month ago. I was on a "soul searching" mission and decided to make a trip alone to PCB. The people were FANTASTIC at the hotel and extremely impressed me. I've told a lot of people about my experience and have gotten together and nice little group wanting to come down."

Haley Farwell

"I just wanted to say how very much my husband and I enjoyed our first stay at The Osprey. We were there for the weekend of January 14-16 and enjoyed every minute of it. We will definitely be back there for future visits. Its nice to know that with all of the high rise motels and condos going up that there is still a few mom and pop places left such as yours. Thanks for such a relaxing time."
