This place was absolutely amazing! The communication with the renter was fantastic and was always willing to help with any questions I had. The condo was clean, spacious, and very inviting! This was my first time in Florida and this place made the stay even better. My family and I loved every minute!

Thank you for your kind review, we look forward to your return!
Very nice condo! We had 9 people total and it was fine for us. It was nice that 2 bedrooms had the ocean view. The kitchen was a bit on the small side, but it suited it's purpose and had all the cooking utensils needed. The condo is located on the quieter side of PCB and getting around took some time, but it was worth it. Our hostess, Wanda, was great and communication was always quick and helpful. We had a great time and enjoyed this condo very much!

Thank you for the 5 star review! Hope you come back soon!
We have stayed in this unit several times and we always enjoy it. It is very spacious and has everything we need. The location is great and it's family oriented. We plan to come back again next year.
We had a great time. The condo was perfect for us. Check-in was easy. We originally planned for 8, but ended up with our family of 4, with 2 being young adults. Mornings were coffee on the balcony watching the waves and pelicans drifting in the water. Pool and beach the rest of the day. 3 bathrooms made it a breeze for us to get ready quickly. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Owners were quick to answer, and offer help with any concerns.Would definitely book again with these owners when in Panama City Beach!
Great little getaway for my family. The condo was just perfect for our family- my husband &myself, my 2 adult daughters & theirs boyfriends, and my mother in law. Plenty of beds for everyone and enough bathrooms that we weren’t always waiting on someone...

Condo was perfect for 2 families since 2 of the bedrooms had their own bathroom and balcony access. The condo was clean and everything on premises was well kept. Very pleased.
Wanda was great! I had to do some house cleaning before we were comfortable . Everything else went great even locked us out and Wanda was on top of that

Condo is beautiful with a great view
Been staying at the Watercrest for years. This condo is one of the nicest. The decor is great and they supply many extras like beach towels and beach chair rental. The mattresses could be better and need to be replaced soon. The renovation at the Watercrest is complete and the new floor to ceiling windows in the bedrooms is wonderful! I would stay here again.

I am glad you enjoyed our condo. Regarding my mattresses, they are only four years old and were very highly rated, top quality mattresses. Even the twins were over $700 per set! They are firm, so perhaps you just prefer a softer mattress? I'm sorry you didn't find them comfortable. I am guessing it's just an individual preference but I can assure you, they are not old, nor were they a low quality.
This property overall was great condo and location. It could use some updates on the living room furniture and the TV’s in the bedrooms. With different couples retiring to their rooms early and would like to watch TV, it is difficult to watch on a very small tv. The owner was awesome, with the easy checkin and any questions I needed answered. All in all a great vacation!

Glad you enjoyed your stay! The bedroom TV’s are new since 2019 and standard bedroom 32 inch TV’s. The den TV is new and much larger, as pictured. All furniture in den and dining rooms replaced since 2019. It is exactly as pictured, so there are no surprises!
This is at least the 6th time we have stayed at this condo and in this unit. The unit is spacious and so is the balcony. The kitchen is well equipped. We also grill on the outside charcoal grills that are on the floor level. The location is great. Close to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. If we have to email or text the condo owner they respond promptly. We plan to stay at this unit again next year.

Fantastic! We enjoy having you as guest each year, see you next summer!
Great location, great views and great condo! We were here for the USFA World Series for Softball so location was great. Loved that there was no parking garage actually, made it pretty simple. Elevators were never a problem although the elevator for floors 1-6 didn’t work while we were there but it was ok. I love this condo and I would def stay here again! My only small complaint was none of us liked the trash compactor but that’s personal preference, we just didn’t like opening and closing the door every time! Beds were comfy, plenty of seating, lots of room. Great place!!
This is a wonderful condo. Excellent location in quiet portion of beach. Not a busy beach so plenty of shells to find! Close to gorgeous St. Andrew State Park where we did my daughter’s senior pics! Felt very safe in the condo area and neighborhood area. Security visible at all times. No big parking garages to hassle with! Elevators never bogged down and always very short wait! Great restaurants in the area! Excellent communication with owner! Would rent again!!
ABSOLUTELY loved this place the moment we stepped in. THE VIEWS!!!!!! We had a great spring break mom and kids getaway. We had everything we needed. Lots of beds, great kitchen with new appliances. SUPER CLEAN. Pool was fantastic. We had 1 little incident the morning after we arrived and our Host came over immediately to fix it. I have so many great things to say and no complaints. Really appreciated the binder with all the helpful tips. I would love to stay here again. Such a nice place, felt like paradise. Thank you!!!
Overall experience was good. The noise was so loud because of construction from about 8 till 4 or so you couldn’t the balcony. And even inside the noise was annoying. Was a disappointment that our dishwasher was not working.

I am sorry about the noise and the dishwasher. I didn’t know the dishwasher was out or I would have had it repaired for sure! If you had told me there was construction noise (also didn’t know) I could have tried to work something out (I have other units in different complexes). I didn’t know there would be any noise during your stay. I make ever effort to warn people when I know about things like that.

Wonderful!
It was a great apartment, easy to access, spacious, excellent views and clean. The only down fall for us was that because we were traveling with an 18 month old, it would have been great if the balcony had a screen. The space between the bars of the balcony were pretty big and made us a bit nervous. We just made sure the sliding doors going out were closed and locked. Just something to take into consideration if going with little ones.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
In regards to the balcony, the rails are to Florida code but that shouldn’t matter. NEVER allow a child on a balcony unattended. They can climb the rails, they can climb on furniture and they can fall. Balconies are inherently dangerous to children so even if there was a solid wall, I would not recommend allowing a toddler out there without proper supervision.

What Can I Say...
We had a wonderful vacation. When you have 9 people, a big part of that is accommodations. This condo provides room for everyone to come together, and get away from each other. All of the beds are very comfortable. The condo is well equipped. Wanda tells you she has beach chairs and towels for your use, and she means it. We took our own, as we've stayed at other properties that promise this/that, but upon arrival you don't have the items. All you need here is your personal stuff, and you are ready to start your vacation when you step in the door.
I had read some negative reviews/comments about the parking and larger vehicles at Watercrest. We had 2 vehicles, and NEVER had a problem finding a parking space or parking our large, double cab truck. I prefer the parking lot to the garages.
Two things I would suggest addressing if possible...
Beach service comes with the condo, but two days we were there, they set up rental beach chairs and umbrellas directly in front of us, between us and the ocean. I didn't like that, there were a number of other people that felt the same way. We expressed our position to the folks and they said they understood, but they didn't move the rentals and continued to do it day after day. They should rethink this.
There are signs at the pool that clearly state towels do not hold pool furniture. Three days we took my 72 y/o mother-in-law to the pool at 9:00 a.m., only to find every chair and table in the pool area marked with towels, etc. and not a soul at the pool. Security said there was nothing they could do about it, people disregard the signs. It would only take a few times at the beginning of a week for security to go through, remove the towels and put them in a pile on the pool deck for people to realize the signs mean what they say.
PLEASE NOTE: These two things are why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. The situation with my mother-in-law was huge. When she couldn't get a spot at the pool, she tried to go to the beach, but fell in the sand. We had heard that the beach service folks would pick up the elderly/handicap and deliver them to the chairs, but when we asked, we were told they couldn't because they did not have the vehicle they needed to provide this service any longer.
If you are thinking of renting this condo, I do recommend it highly. the owners could not do a better job of accommodating vacationers if they were right there to greet them, and give them a tour when they arrived.

The beach chair service is new this year. They are an independent firm and I do not control the services they offer. I am sorry about that. Our previous chair providers did offer the handicap services but it seems that is no longer available. I will pass your comments to them!
Other than things out of my control, I'm happy that you found my unit as well equipped and comfortable as I advertise.
