Gulf Crest is a phenomenal resort and the condo that we stayed in had everything we could have asked for! It is the most beautifully decorated condo that we have ever stayed in! It was a wonderful family vacation and we will be back!

We loved our stay at Seas the Day! The condo has spectacular views and everything we could have needed! It is well-maintained, and is beautifully decorated.
Unit was just as described and shown in pictures. Beach and pool area were really nice. Beach chairs and cart that came with unit were a life saver. Very clean and nicely decorated.

The condo is amazing! My family of 5 had more than enough space. Everything we needed from a rental!
This condo is gorgeous! 22nd floor makes for a great view! The balcony is amazing! It is decorated like a model but is still comfortable and welcoming. My family enjoyed the condo as much as we enjoyed Panama City. We will definitely be returning!

Breathtaking!
This condo is absolutely beautiful! We have stayed in numerous condo rentals and this one is by far the best! The owner has provided everything you need! It is beautifully decorated and you feel right at home. The balcony and view cannot be beat. Would definitely recommend this condo to anyone.

We really enjoyed our quick weekend getaway, we have stayed at Gulf Crest a couple times and it hasn’t disappointed us yet! The condo we stayed at this time had wonderful views of the ocean, and was decorated beautifully. I also enjoy having the ice maker in this unit. And it was nice having the chairs on the beach available to use. We will be back!

This condo was gorgeous! By far one of the prettiest decorated rooms I've stayed in in panama city. Very clean as well. We did get a little confused on the different check out times on the email vs the list in the condo, but it wasn't a big deal.

Beautifully decorated condo! It had everything we needed and more.
This was without a doubt the best condo I have rented in PCB. The furniture is so comfortable and the balcony is amazing. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. I absolutely loved the decor! We felt like this was a “home away from home” and we will definitely rent this condo again. The Vaughn’s were wonderful and so easy to work with. I would recommend this condo to anyone visiting PCB.

This property was impressive. There was anything and everything you needed to make you feel at home on vacation. This property was also the cleanest I've ever stayed in. Everything in the condo was updated and new. The balcony was huge with a fabulous view. Top notch. 100% would recommend to family & friends. I would also stay here again in a heartbeat.

This condo is like waking up in a beach paradise. The view is incredible and the furnishings both inside and out are amazing. I am a 30A , Panhandle gal and take my word for it, you will not find a more relaxing or nicely appointed condo ! On top of this Brenda was amazing and her response time was scary fast!! We will be back !

This condo is amazing!!!!!! I don’t have one negative thing to say about my stay here other than it was too short! I could actually live here very easily! If your wondering if this is the place for you.... it is!!! Amazing!
I hate to brag on it too much because there may not be many dates available for me to rent it again!!!! HaHa A+++++

Amazing Condo with great view and huge deck.
We really enjoyed this place and would definitely consider going back. This condo is high up so you can see for miles. We spent a lot of time out on the spacious deck. It really is one of the best features of this unit. The interior is well decorated and upgraded for a premium rental experience. Many units on PCB have a narrow view from the living room, but the view from this unit is expansive. There is plenty to see and do within walking distance. Brenda was very responsive, making for an efficient and pleasant booking process. Rent this unit and you won't be sorry.

Dear Steve,
Thank you for the kind review. The balcony is definitely what sold us when we were purchasing, and we are happy you were able to enjoy it. We appreciate you taking great care of our home and hope you will be able to return soon!
Warm regards,

My family of five (all adults) stayed here recently & were amazed at everything that came with this condo! It is complete luxury! Every single thing that is needed was provided! Beach towels, a beach bag, boogie boards, beach chairs, soaps for the kitchen & laundry, garbage bags, plenty of towels for both bathrooms, make up remover wipes and more! The kitchen amenities were truly impressive from the commercial Keurig to the ice maker, espresso maker, air fryer & crock pot! We had everything we needed & more!! The beds were all extremely comfy & there was an array of different pillow types to accommodate whatever one requires. Communication with the renter was easy & fast. We found our forever rental! We will stay here again & again & again!

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and found everything you needed. We strive to make your stay as easy and relaxing as possible. We hope to have you back soon!
This was a great place for our family of 6. The bigger boys stayed in the full bunk beds, little man slept in his own personal "closet" and we had the master to ourselves. We had everything we needed to cook everyday including an air fryer! Having the balcony as an office (I work remote) was fantastic. The wifi worked very well, no issues. Plenty of options for TV (Netflix, cable, etc). Having beach towels and beach chairs available was very nice. The bag beach chairs provided by Brenda are great! They have umbrellas attached and everything. The only issue we had was the master bed. My husband has a bad back and the mattress was way too hard for us. It's just a personal preference, but good to know. We slept on the couches one night and stole the bottom bunk from our oldest on the last night. All in all, this condo is really fantastic, close to some great restaurants and fun (mini golf/arcade/sling shot). Highly recommend.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for your nice review! We are sorry you did not enjoy the master bed. We tried to pick a mattress between firm and soft to satisfy most guests but we understand when someone has back issues it may not work. We hope it will not discourage you to return. Thank you again for staying with us and hope to welcome you back soon!

What Can I say? The Views were absolutely gorgeous. Brenda was super nice and I felt like if I needed anything I could contact her and she would get back with me ASAP. The condo, overall was awesome, Very modern and decorated beautifully. But we spent most of our time on that huge balcony. By far the best balcony I’ve ever been on in Panama City! I was worried about staying on that end of Panama, Only because I’ve never stayed there before. But the beaches were not overcrowded, it was quiet and very peaceful. I found that the drive to the things that we wanted to do was not near as bad as I thought it would be. You could be anywhere in 10 minutes. We stayed here during the Covid pandemic, And I can honestly say I was relieved and not concerned for our health in this condo. It almost made me forget about the kind of world we live in right now. I would definitely recommend this condo for anybody looking for a peaceful getaway. Hopefully, I can return next summer for an unforgettable vacation! Thank you Brenda for opening your home to us!
