Our stay at this beachfront condo was absolutely excellent! The condo was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a perfect beach getaway. The views were incredible, and being just steps from the beach made the trip even better. The owners were wonderful to work with and provided excellent communication from start to finish, making everything easy and stress-free. The condo was comfortable, well-stocked, and in a perfect location near restaurants and shops. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again!

Excellent Week

Highly recommend! We stayed in Jimmy's condo for a week and had the best time. Many memories made, and we'll definitely come back again. The condo was spotlessly clean which is a must for our family. Jimmy checked in after we arrived to make sure all was well. Easy check in and check out process. 5+ stars on everything!

Annual Florida trip with friends

Condo was very comfy, cozy and clean! Laundry on site is excellent and laundry essentials provided which was great! Nice area within walking distance to many places to eat. Easy to get to other areas for dining and shopping from this location. Nice property, pool was always sparkling clean! Nice beach with very helpful attendants that help with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Gated community.

PCB 2025

We love this gated complex and the condo is beautiful. We carried my 85 year old Mom and she enjoyed sitting on your spacious balcony. The only complaint we have is, the parking garage spaces are so small, we couldn't always get our SUV in the reserved space if another SUV was parked beside us. Nothing to do with the beautiful condo though, all the units at this complex have this same problem.

This is THE place!!

We love Gulf Crest and had stayed in several different units and they all needed updates or were just satisfactory on cleanliness. So I started checking different units and came across this unit and all the good reviews. Decided to try one more time. This was in 2021 and it definitely lived up to its reviews!! We love it! We rented again this year (2022) Cleanest unit I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve been in a lot . Owners are Super Nice and even called to make sure I got their email. Easy check in! Well stocked unit! Just love everything about this unit!! S. Martin North Alabama

Excellent Condo With Amazing Beach Views and Access

Very nice condo in PCB. Well appointed with everything you'd likely need for a beach vacation. The patio was well equipped and sizeable. Perfect for the family to enjoy the ocean views while avoiding beach crowds. Beach access was excellent when you do head down. Elevators were comfortable and quick. The bedrooms are comfortable and the extra bunks in the dining area closet are handy for guests or just enjoying a book. The kitchen had everything we needed and the additional drink fridge was very convenient.

We love Gulf Crest

We love staying at the Gulf Crest. Every time we have come to Panama City, we have stayed at the Gulf Crest. It is close enough to walk to a lot of places but away from all of the traffic further down the beach. The property owner is very nice and helpful. We was there during a storm and he called to make sure all was good and to reassure us that it would be over quickly.

Excellent getaway

If we have to work remote... why not with a view of the ocean and stunning sunsets every evening? Property was exactly as listed and even more than we hoped for. It was a little chilly (40’s) on some days, but it was much warmer than where we were coming from. And the condos seemed quite empty in the weeks preceding-Christmas, so we had the abundant sun, heated pool and fabulous white sandy beaches largely to ourselves. We even saw a couple of whales (Bryde’s?) off shore in the distance on our last evening!
