We are elated to hear you enjoyed the condo. This particular unit has 740 Sq Ft of wrap-a-round balcony so it is quite an unusual beautiful design! We loved sharing with you! Sherry
Everything was as advertised. Unit was clean and all appliances and fixtures in good working order. Nice decor and beds were comfy! Great stay if you have extra money to spend.
The beach and weather were great! Enjoyed that the property was on the second floor - never had to take the elevator and avoided any wait! Property manager very easy to work with !

It was all just great. Whoever designed the remodel for this condo was an artist. The view from our balcony was to die for. The owners were very accommodating and we loved everything about Water Crest.

This room is awesome ! So awesome this is the second time we have rented it ! Million dollar view ! We had friends from other rooms visit & all stated they wanted to stay there next time ! Thanks again for another great girls trip !
Watercrest 201 was wonderful! Condo is spacious and very clean. Location on the end of Thomas Drive is quiet, the beach is not crowded and we didn’t have any problems with traffic. One of the best condos we have stayed in. The owners are very responsive. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great stay!!

The pleasure was ours! So happy to hear you enjoyed the condo. We agree, this end of the beach is perfect because the traffic and parking are never an issue! Come back soon
We had a great time and enjoyed our view. The only thing which was not that big of a deal was water in guest bathroom tub didn’t drain well. Other than that very beautiful place!!

I wish you had let us know about the slow drain when you were here it would have been a quick fix! Yes the view is awesome, we look forward to seaing you again soon! Sherry
Place was obviously redone recently; very nice in all aspects. and very clean. Great wrap around balcony for wonderful people watching. Short drive to several great places to eat. Minor gripe, public beach access is right there so a lot of traffic but this was a minor issue. Recommend it.

Thank you Greg for the compliments on the remodel! We are very happy with the outcome. With 740 square feet of wrap-a-round balcony you get views from many angles...this is a big plus! Since there is a large open lot and not another building on this end of Watercrest it provides and open view and also a beach access. We look forward to your return, Sherry
Enjoyed our stay and the views from the condo were excellent. Owners are very friendly and communicative. They found out last minute about the building have work done and a potential down time with the A/C and water, and called to inform us before we made it down there. They also offered a discount for the two days to compensate the issue. Definitely worth the stay and next time we make it back down there, we will be reaching out to see if they have a place available.
Ocean front and views of the ocean everywhere you look. Woved the oversized spacious bacolny!! We found many great places to eat close by. We also found great activities if you want to get out, golf, go karts. The kitchen was fully stocked for the days we just wanted to lay on the beach or by the pool and cook inside. This condo is a very spacious condo also so the day it rained we had plenty of room just hanging out and not being cramped. We will be booking our next vacation here!!

Great, so glad you enjoyed yourselves. With 700 square feet of wrap around balcony and 1440 square feet of living space ‘oversized’ does describe this condo! The entire condo was just painted and new furniture added so come again soon and enjoy. We are looking forward to seeing you again, Sherry
I wanted to let y'all know we had a wonderful time staying in Watercrest 201. The condo was updated and decorated beautifully and the views from the massive balcony were AMAZING! We were thrilled with the location of the condo and how close it was to the elevator and stairs, which made going to the beach super easy! Being able to sit on the balcony and enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night was a great way to start and end the day. Thank you for sharing this condo with us!
We have been vacationing in PCB for the past few years. Of all of the places we have stayed, this year was the best! Our entire family absolutely loved the condo, the location, the ease to get to the beach, the views…all of it! The owners were always prompt to respond to questions and helpful prior to our stay. The kitchen was AMAZING! We love to cook and have big family dinners. The huge island and open concept were perfect. There was not one thing we needed that wasn’t provided in the condo. All 4 kids have already said they want to stay in the same condo again next year. Super happy with our stay!

Disliked: Cleanliness, location
We had mouse droppings in trundle bed, the odor from the paper plant bad. Mgr chgd sheets.
The property was well stocked and pretty. The deck while partially blocked from the full beach view it was still very good. After the first night things were better. When departing looking for clothes dropped we found the mouse on a sticky pad under the bed dead thank goodness.

We apologize that there had been a mouse in the condo, it seems unfair to give a 3 star review due to this as I think all of us realize that this is something that happens even in the nicest of surroundings... this condo is a luxury condo so it is no reflection of the cleanliness of the area or the condo. The view is very well represented in the pictures and it is amazing and we hope you can return to enjoy it again soon. Sherry
This property sits away from the typical PCB crowds in the quieter section of the area. The unit was clean, up-to date, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, great view, and being on the 2nd floor eliminated the use of waiting for the elevator most of the time. It also provided fun people watching on the not-so great weather days. Owner was helpful and communication was open. FYI- They do have their own website. We would definitely stay here again.

We look forward to your next stay. Watercrest is located on what locals fondly call the "quiet end " of PCB. We love that there is never a traffic issue but is conveniently located to major attractions and abundant dining options. ...yes there are many ways to contact Sunkissed Beach Rentals. Thank you, Sherry
This condo was amazing! Very roomy and stocked with everything we needed. The wrap balcony provided great views of the gulf.
Being on the second floor was easy access using the stairs. We didn’t have to wait for an elevator. And the beach was a short walk and the pool even closer. Our kids loved being able to bounce between the beach and the pool. Having chair and umbrella service was a great perk too!
The beach wasn’t crowded. We’ve been to PCB before and the beach was way too crowded. This area was no where near as congested as other areas of PCB.
The hosts were quick with communication! We cannot will to stay here again.
Loved the location on the second floor, corner unit with great view. The condo is just as pictured. Had some stock items: hand soap in kitchen & baths, salt/pepper, & dish soap. The beds, coach and chairs all comfy. The unit is next to the public beach access as noted before, but to be honest it provided much fun people watching instead of annoyance.The only issue with cleanliness was under the kitchen sink where a leak was being manages with bowls and paper towels. The management company had a plumber out and who only partially fix it and did not come back as promised.

I am glad you enjoyed the unit. I am however confused as to why you would say he promised to come back but didn’t. We had them scheduled to come back the next morning but it was too early for you. You did text once and say you would be out and about if we wanted to send them back. I am sure you understand that we can’t schedule someone at the drop of the hat. You had even said you would prefer us to wait until you checked out several times. I am sorry if we had a miscommunication. You had even told me “Don’t worry my husband is ocd about these kind of things” when I told you if it gets any worse i won’t have a choice but to send someone in. Anyway once again i am sorry if i was misunderstanding you. I truly didn’t think you wanted me sending someone, outside of the exception of that one day when you texted me. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and we hope to host you again!
We enjoyed our fall break getaway. The condo is gorgeous and had everything we needed plus more. We loved that this part of PCB was much less crowded than others but yet still a short drive to restaurants and shopping. We were very thankful for the beach chairs and umbrella that came with the rental. This is definitely a perk that I look for in a place. We enjoyed a dolphin tour on the SeaScreamer which was within a 5 minute drive to get to (I would suggest at sunset and try the Rum Punch). Our only downfall to this trip was hardly any waves. I missed the sound. However, it didn't stop us from enjoying some relaxing time and our meals on the balcony to take in the views and taking long walks.
The owners/managers are very responsive. We had asked for a second parking pass and couldn't find it when we got there. I sent a message and within minutes he called me to resolve this easily.
Thanks again for an amazing place to stay 🐬🍹🏖
