Hi Wendi! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay in this amazing RentMyBeachPlace property. We hope to see you again very soon!
Quiet and peaceful property with a lot of privacy. Whole condo is spacious, including the balcony, which is huge! Nice, comfortable furniture throughout and everything was in perfect working order. You can tell the property is well cared for. The bed linens could use an update but aside from than that minor detail the condo was pretty well perfect!

The unit / condo itself was FANTASTIC...no issues at all there. It was clean, well appointed and extremely nice. Its time for the master room mattress to be replaced however. That was lumpy and had some deep low spots so I flipped it around and it was slight better. But it needs to be replaced. The facilities around the unit...need serious attention. The jacuzzi was low the entire time, the pool was nice but I will cover that later. Access to the beach was great and then the elevators. Well...lets say that one broke a few times and trapped people inside. They fix it enough and then after a few trips, trapped more people. So on Saturday when there is a heavy check in and a lot of "families" arriving....wait times for the remaining elevator were in excess of 20-30 min.
As far as a family retreat...this place is everything you need for a family but for an adult getaway...its seriously lacking. The whole area is specific to families with cheap trinket shops, family dinner deals and what you will find is that the Watercrest pool is full of teens and not a relaxing experience at all. The jacuzzi is the same. No one did anything wrong, it was just loud, packed and kids EVERYWHERE> . As stated, if you are bringing the family..I assume its exactly what you want but for a couples retreat...go west to Destin instead. Would I rent at Watercrest again...yes. The room was again, fantastic. The location was not.
Cort was awesome. Property was super nice and easy. Great heated pool and hot tub. Master bedroom was awesome with private entrance to patio. Gulf view awesome. Sunrise and sunset. WOW. NICE kitchen with everything imaginable. Will definitely stay again. Owners seems to be updating and improving which is great. It is really a great location and super nice property.

The condo was perfect in every way. Very modern and comfortable interior. The deck on the patio had a fantastic view and sound of the ocean. Nice pool and hot tub as well. Kitchen was well appointed if you wanted to cook. Check in was a breeze and we were given a lot of recommendations of palces to eat and things to do in the area.
