                    This was our first stay in this condo, but will not be the last! We found the unit to have EVERYTHING we needed even down to a clothespin. It was extremely clean and had plenty of room. It was just my husband and I, but we have asked Rich and Kathy to reserve the same time next year so we can bring our family. The resort was quiet, elevators were speedy, pools were nice, tiki bar was handy! The balcony was extra large with views of the Gulf that would take your breath! Our vacation this year, is at the top of all our vacations to PCB. Thanks Rich and Kathy for going the extra mile for us. I'm counting the days til our next visit!

                    We have stayed at Rich & Kathy's condo two times in the past two years. Both times it far exceeded our expectations. This condo is the cleanest place you will ever find. The accommodations are fantastic and up to date. We have stayed at Gulf Crest many times but never in a unit as clean and nice as Rich and Kathy's. We travel a lot and appreciate all the little things they provide. We get bombarded in our daily lives with surveys and NEVER take the time to fill them out. This condo and owners simply deserve the praise!

                    I should start by saying that I normally never take the time to write reviews. I felt I should make an exception in this case. We stayed here the 3rd week of July, 2011. We have stayed at Gulfcrest several times before and knew we loved the location. We also have friends who stay at Gulfcrest, so this is a great place for our families to get together and enjoy PCB. This particular condo surpassed our expectations. Kathy and Rich truly think of everything for everyone, including our 10 month grandbaby! Many times during the week, we would decide to run to the store to get something we needed, only to discover it was already provided for us. Unfortunately, the water wasn't great that week (first time that has ever happened to us), but the jetties are always wonderful so after beach days there, we were always glad to return to "our" condo. Truly a home away from home. We left anxious to return and plan to see you next summer. Thank you so much for the goodies and the comforts of your home!

Thanks so much for putting so much time and thought into making sure all the small details are taken care of. We hope to be back some day!

We have been vacationing as a family for over 8 years in PCB and have never stayed in a nicer unit. Thanks Rich & Kathy for being so considerate of your rental guests!

                    We have used VRBO to rent condos all over the Florida area, and while we are usually very happy with the places we rent, this was by far over very favorite. It was absolutely PERFECT in every way. It was beautifully furnished and such attention given to detail. The owners thought of everything when stocking the condo. In addition, I'm a complete clean freak, and the place was immaculate. The views from the balcony were incredible. The only bad thing about our entire stay was having to leave. A week just wasn't enough. Thanks for the best vacation we've had in some time. Also, thank you for the restaurant tips, information concerning my daughter's wedding, the cute little snack basket, well, everything! You guys are wonderful, and I can't wait to rent from you again. Hopefully, it'll be soon - really soon!

                    Owner response: Thanks guys, we would love for you to come back anytime. It is so good to go in on your check out day and find the condo just as clean as we left it !!! If one week isn't long enough plan on two weeks next trip... Thanks again for staying with us and we look forward to your next visit ...

                    We just had one of the best vacations we've ever had anywhere on the Gulf. This condo was completely appointed with everything we needed; all we had to do was buy groceries! Beautifully, yet comfortably decorated, with a 17th floor direct Gulf view from the over-sized balcony. Our kids really appreciated the twin beds, along with the built-in bunks. Many extras are also nearby: Ripley's Museum, Wonder Works, and several excellent beachside and sit-down restaurants (we love Schooners and Pineapple Willey's). It was so nice to be able to communicate directly with Rich and Kathy and they were willing to make a quick compromise with a last minute emergency change. This one will definitely be flagged as our favorite place to stay in PCB!

                    Owner response: Tony and his wife took great care of the condo during their stay and we're happy they enjoyed their stay and look forward to seeing them next year. A lot of our renters are repeat guests and we get more and more 2 week renters each year. Especially in the Spring and Fall when the weather is great and the crowds are smaller.

                    You will not find a better condo in PCB! The condo is immaculate, comfortable and has everything you could possibly need. This was our 4th year in a row to stay in the condo, and we are definitely coming back for a 5th year. It was well worth every penny!

                    We stayed in Kathy and Rich's condo the week of June 12 - June 19. It was amazingly clean and well cared for. The kitchen was fully stocked, the condo spacious and everything seemed so fresh. The view of the beach was perfect! The small touches were so appreciated including a small basket of munchies, directions to everything in the condo and PCB and a few books/games/DVDs for the lazy afternoons. We have been coming to PCB for 8 years and this is the best condo by far. I would highly recommend!

                    Recommended for: Sightseeing, girls getaway, families with young children, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

                    Owner response: It was indeed a pleasure to rent to these folks. They had a great time and we love groups that come down and have fun in the sun. We understand as first time renters the hesitation to renting from total strangers. As landlords we have the same hesitation to renting our condo to strangers. Most of our renters we would welcome back with open arms and these folks are one of them. They took great care of the condo and we hope to see them next year.

                  Year Purchased: 2004

                  Why the Owner Chose Gulf Crest:
                  Before Gulf Crest condos there was Gulf Crest mom and pop motel where our out of town guests used to stay when visiting. When they tore the motel down we watched the condo go up, floor by floor, from our backyard and decided to buy a unit there. It is one of the easiest locations to get in and around without gridlock.

                  The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
                  Easy access to all areas of the beach without all the traffic jams. Fantastic 300 feet of beach front to enjoy. Seldom crowded. Huge pools with Hot Tubs and Kiddy pool.
