Feast of Tabernacles

2009 Panama City Beach, Florida

+ Information/Resources

 
 


The Edgewater Beach Resort along the coastline of Panama City Beach will again host the Feast of Tabernacles in Florida for 2009.

Edgewater's 110-acre gated community incorporates an array of activities and amenities sure to make a successful Feast, with 11 swimming pools, 12 tennis courts, 11 shuffleboard courts, four hot tubs, a tanning salon, gift shop, game arcade and a full-service restaurant.

A complimentary tram service is available for transportation across the resort and to the meeting facility if needed. Part of the resort rests along the Gulf of Mexico. Step back a few yards from the ocean, and you'll find yourself on the deck surrounding Edgewater's famous Lagoon Pool. Landscaped islands and several flowing waterfalls find their way into this 11,000-square-foot Polynesian-style, free-form pool, while several whirlpools and reflecting ponds make this tropical area complete.

The other part of the resort, across the street connected by a 10-foot wide pedestrian walkway, houses the meeting facility and a cluster of golf villas; a 9-hole, par 3 executive golf course with nine lakes and several island greens; a complete clubhouse and pro shop; 11 Plexicushion tennis courts with six lighted for night play; and also shuffleboard courts.

Edgewater's health club is a 1,500-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that features everything from cardiovascular exercise equipment to an aerobics salon to a massage therapy room.

Housing: Approximately 70 percent of the units are oceanfront, which includes studios, one, two and three-bedroom condominiums. The remaining condos surround the meeting facility and golf course. Edgewater Resort offers studios at $79 per night, one-bedroom units at $95 to $122; two-bedroom units at $105 to $145 and three-bedrooms units at $125 to $191.

Long Beach Resort, a mile away and managed by Edgewater Beach Resort, provides studios at $72 per night, one-bedroom units at $101, two-bedroom units at $128 and three-bedroom units at $155.

A luxurious property, also managed by Edgewater, is the Majestic Beach Towers, which will offer rates comparable to those at Edgewater Beach Resort. This is an oceanfront property just a half mile from the Edgewater Conference Center. Additional housing accommodations will also be available nearby, some oceanfront. Some of these properties offer efficiencies, and some have full kitchens.

The long-term success of this site depends on members only using the housing listed in our Festival Planning Brochure. The low price for the meeting facility saves the Church thousands of dollars each year and Edgewater Resort trusts the cooperation of our members to use the housing listed in our brochure. Some condos in the area may be less expensive, but the rates at Edgewater are comparable.

A fragrance-controlled room will be available.
