Excellent property! Very homelike and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay. My elderly Aunt and Uncle could sit on the balcony and watch the rest of us on the beach and we were right over the pool. We definitely would go back to this property! Wanda was a joy to work with. Definitely will recommend this to my friends and family. We had a 18 month old and it was very easy for her to get her head and body through the bars on the balcony, so maybe a little fence wiring or something else would be helpful for that. Excellent vacation!Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, adventure seekers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We fell in love with everything about our condo!!! The view was absolutely beautiful! To wake up and see the ocean front just about anywhere you were standing was great!! I wasn't expecting such a large looking condo either. There was plenty of room for all nine of us to not be stepping on each other. Watercrest staff was pleasant and the place was clean. Janet and Jimmy were fantastic to make sure you were comfortable by the beach! The other bonus is you were not right in the middle of the crowded beaches! We will be back and we will only be booking for this room, highly recommend!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

This was our 2nd time to this location. This years accommodations were so much better than last years. My family stayed in your lovely condo and my parents and sisters family stayed on the same floor in another condo. This condo had everything that we needed for a weeks stay. It's decorated wonderfully, very clean and the owners are awesome to work with. Loved the huge balcony also. I highly recommend this condo with a large family. We had 7 plus a baby and at times my 2 nieces were over. Plenty of room. Thank you so much for allowing our family to rent condo and making 2013 the best vacation.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Wonderful Property for a Family Vacation
Wonderful Property for a Family Vacation
- Guest APM (St. Louis, MO)
- Date of stay 05/04/13
- Review Submitted 05/23/13
We reserved the property for a family vacation that included our two adult children and their significant others. The condo was exactly as described and photographed on the website. The beds and common room furniture were comfortable, and the condo had everything we could ask for to make our stay pleasant. It felt like a home away from home. Wanda, the owner, checked in via email with us the day after we arrived to make sure we had everything we needed. The condo is on a beautiful beach along a quiet section of PCB. Our Gulf view from the spacious balcony made relaxing on or off the beach very pleasant. There was plenty to do nearby when we wanted to explore the area, and great restaurants in all price ranges. We would stay in this property again in a heartbeat! Can't wait to come back!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

This unit is very clean, nicely appointed and very comfortable. It is exactly as shown in the photos. The couple problems that were encountered were handled by the owner and corrected promptly. There are a number of good restaurants at varying prices in the area. The snowbird group at Watercrest also offers a variety of activities (bingo, cards, golf). The owner provides a nice supply of beach and pool toys and beach towels for families as well as a crib and high chair for infants. I've already reserved the unit for next winter.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Wonderful condo for our family mini-reunion vacation, with plenty of room for 2 families in the pretty apartment. Fabulous view of ocean & sunsets. Facilities very well cared-for by staff & kept very clean. Condo well-equipped with plenty of extra bedding, beach towels & kitchen stuff. Owner very responsive to questions & requests! The kids really enjoyed spending the night on the lounge chairs on the balcony. Our group included a handicapped adult, and facitilities were good to accomodate his needs: elevator, lovely & easily accessible deck with pool, hot tub & ramp down to beach. I would definitely recommend this condo to other families!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: I''m so glad you had a nice get together with your family. If you ever come during the "season" we rent beach chairs. The beach chair folks are great. If your handicapped family member wanted to go to the beach, they will pick them up in their Gator at the front door and drive them all the way down to the chairs. Of course, I don't think you can beat the beach in the fringe months. It's still warm and there are no crowds! We hope to see you again!

Our stay here was wonderful! There were 9 of us and there was plenty of room for all. Wanda was amazing to work with and communication with her was easy! Everything is clean and maintained very nicely. It was stormy for alot of our stay, so we took full advantage of the games & movies provided, which was AWESOME! You will find all the comforts of home here, which really saves you time & money!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We had a family of 8 stay in this condo and it was wonderful!!! The pictures were spot on, the view from the balcony was great!!! The only problem that we had was we grilled some hamburgers on the electric grill on the balcony and someone complained and the next day we were told not to grill anymore. I was really impressed with how clean they keep the whole place. I hope to come back next year!!!!!!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: I am very happy that you enjoyed the condo. I am sorry about the grill. The condo association rules state that ELECTRIC grills. When I complained to our complex manager, I was told that the Fire Code changed the code in April of this year but they failed to notify the owners of that rule change. I had no idea and apologize for the inconvenience this caused you.

Panama City is our family's favorite vacation spot. This condo was great. We especially enjoyed the grill which we used 4 or 5 times during our stay. The beds and furniture were comfortable. We loved having the DVDs and board games available. The beach set up is a wonderful bonus. This is definitely a condo the owners take pride in and it shows. The Owners were easy to work with and responsive. I highly recommend this property.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

I like going during the day and sitting outside over the beach. Metal picnic style tables and very casual. Many people will have a shirt over a bathing suit. They have a live web cam outside. Say hello to loved ones back home! Good onion ring tower! I think their menu is available online. It's a parking nightmare! I try to go for a really late lunch or early dinner or be ready to circle around and around or walk from off site parking. Get a t-shirt there. Everyone else does.

This is the upside down building on the corner. You can't miss it. My teens went and said it was a lot of fun. Tickets are about $22. You can add lazer tag for a bit more. They recommend that you allow 3-4 hours for the experience. That makes the tickets to this a much better bargain than go carts that are about $10 for a 5 minute ride!

CUT THRU FOR BACK BEACH ROAD View on map
If you're on Front Beach trying to get out of traffic, many of these roads cut thru. This is one of them. If you take this road to Back Beach Rd, there is a nice Golf Course to the West. It's called El Hombre. It's off of Back Beach Rd/ US98/30A. It's 27 hole course. 120 Coyote Pass Panama City Beach, FL 32407 (850) 236-8374

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: The owners are both CPA's with an eye for detail. We have recently purchased this condo so our calendar shows a lot of availability! We chose Watercrest because we love their huge floor plans. This 3BR/3BA unit has a whopping 1440 square feet. We love the large balcony and tennis court. We dislike the parking garages and the hassels of crosswalks of Front Beach Road. You will not hear road noise from your room! Our desire is to rent condo that exceeds our renter's every expectations. We want you and your family to have the perfect vacation. Since we live fairly close to PCB, we spend time there ourselves so we find all of those little things like burned out bulbs or squeeky hinges that need attention. This condo is treated as our second home and it shows.
Why the Owner Chose WaterCrest:
Watercrest offers the largest floorplans in PCB. Our unit is 1440 square feet! There are ample parking spaces right in front just steps away from one of the elevators. There are NO GARAGES OR WALKOVERS!
You won't have to park in a loading/unloading zone. You'll park steps away from the elevators.
Watercrest units wrap around a large atrium. The way the building is laid out, the units are set back from the elevators and halls so you won't hear a lot of noise from people coming and going. There are plenty of elevators. There are four elevators and only 10 units per floor! Having such little foot traffic means it quiet which is especially nice if you want to sleep in!
Using Back Beach Road, you can get to Pier Park in minutes, without all of the traffic headaches.
It's simply the best!
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
WATERCREST IS A BEACH FRONT PROPERTY! THE COMPLEX SITS RIGHT ON THE GULF!
Watercrest floorplans, amenities, it's location on the quiet end of the beach make it the ideal condo for your rental. The parking is easy and hassle free. They have tennis, raquetball and shuffle board courts.
If you like to sit near the pool but don't want too much sun, there is a nice covered area with tables and chairs. You can sit in the cool shade and relax and keep an eye on your family.
There are men's and women's fitness rooms which have saunas.
There is a hot tub outside.
The pool is heated in the winter and there is also a kiddy pool.
The 3 BR units have two gulf front master bedrooms that open to the balcony.
One Master has a King, the second has a Queen. There is also a sleeper-sofa. The 3rd Bedroom has one Queen and One Twin. We also have a roll away bed.
All three bedrooms plus the den have flat screen televisons and cable. The den has a new DVD player.
All three bedrooms have their own private bath! No more waiting on a free bathroom!
The kitchen has both bar stools and a table with six chairs.
There are plenty of seating places on the large balcony. The balcony has a direct, unobstructed view of the beach.
Watercrest has only 10 units on each floor. You will be able to find chairs by the pool or on the sunning deck.
There is a beach chair rental company right in front of the building. We have pre-paid for rental of two chairs for the entire season. That saves you $140 per week.
