The property was nice. Check in was simple and straightforward. The condo was clean, quiet, and the views are unmatched, with the large deck allowing you to soak those views in, regardless of the weather. Restaurants and other services (groceries, beach shopping, etc.) are close by. The beach was super clean, not crowded at all, and overall the property was in good condition, felt very safe, and we really enjoyed our stay.
The tiki bar and snack bar were reasonably priced, and a great surprise addition to our amenities. The condo was clean with plenty of cooking gear, pillows and blankets. We really enjoyed our stay!

Great to hear you loved the condo and the View! We have an awesome beach setting that is truly hard to beat coupled with a large balcony, Makes for a great pairing. We look forward to your return!
We usually visit the west end. This was our first time staying at Watercrest and we will be back. This unit is beautiful and one of the cleanest condos we have stayed at.
This may have been the nicest condo we have ever stayed in and we have been coming to PCB for 40 years! Everyone was so accommodating and the whole resort was well kept!

Thank you! Everyone loves Watercrest unit 1002 as it is definitely a premium condo. We look forward to your return trip, Sea You Soon, Sherry
Great stay. unit was clean, and ready for us. We appreciate you letting us in a few hours early as our travel plans changed a bit. Great communication, would stay here again.
The condo was nice and clean. The balcony is the highlight of the condo. Elevators were fast and efficient. Wish the pool was a little bigger. It got crowded quick. But overall great vacation

Thank you Josh for the review. We are elated to hear you had a great vacation! WE agree, this balcony and view are amazing. Very unusual to have a balcony this large at a beachfront condo. I have never had anyone say they thought the pool needed to be bigger and we love the fact that the pool deck is very large which affords a lot more seating than most which can be an issue. We look forward to hosting you again soon! Sherry
We stayed here the month of January 2022 while my husband did some continuing education. This unit is situated on the east side of the building and we had incredible sunrises and were protected from most of the winds. It also is next to a vacant lot that appears to be owned by the city, so there was an unobstructed view. The condo was very well appointed and they even had binoculars we could use to see the wonderful sights. All in all we really enjoyed our stay and would most definitely stay here again!!
Our view from the 17th floor was the best I’ve ever had in Florida, and I’ve been coming for 30+ years. The condo was clean, roomy, and updated. The pool was nice and we had easy access to the beach.
Everything was great, but Chase, the property manager went above and beyond after there was a booking issue with our original unit. HUGE thank you to him! We had a great week, and will definitely come back.

It was my pleasure! We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again soon, Chase
The condo unit was very nice. What was annoying was the neighbors. Everyone was loud, ppl smoking pot right next door. I know that’s not anyone’s fault as for as this unit goes but we’ve decided PCB is not for us anymore. We need less party and more quiet/relaxation.
This is the second 2BR unit we have stayed in at Watercrest. We thought the first one couldn't be beat, but we were wrong. Loved the decor and everything about the unit. The bed was comfortable, the living space furniture was great and the deck offered great options to enjoy the terrific views. The only thing that I would change, would be to replace the carpet in the Master bedroom with tile or another hard surface. We tried some of the owner's restaurant suggestions and both were on point. The folks at Sun Kissed Properties were very nice and responsive. We will be back!!

It will be our pleasure to host you again Misty. Thank you for the feedback and we appreciate your comments very much as our goal is to provide an exceptional vacation destination. We just completed our remodel and everyone is thoroughly enjoying it and that is very rewarding. Sea You Soon, Sherry
All beds were built on a wooden frame (like a water bed frame) with mattress inside frame. 1st night sheets kept coming off bed so we had to try to raise mattress from frames to secure sheets. Owners also chose to lock the closet in 2nd bedroom for themselves. Chase brought in a wire rack for us to hang clothes. Not for those who treasure a good night's sleep. It could have been amost perfect if not for beds.

Thank you for the review. The beds are exactly as pictured and the mattresses are new. We have never had anyone complain. Any sheet has to be tucked under the mattress no matter the style of bed so I am not sure what the comment meant. We hope you enjoyed this beautiful condo and amazing beach!
Everything was great from start to finish. Booking was extremely easy and management are extremely responsive. Once we arrived at the unit it was very clean and if anything the pictures didn’t do it justice. Parking passes and wrist bands were left for us(we aren’t extremely paranoid about covid but still contactless check in is nice). The balcony set up was amazing. Much larger balcony than i am used to and it was very usable and much deeper than normal. The sleeping situation is amazing. I’ve had bad experiences shoving 8 people into one unit before but here it wasn’t bad at all. The beds were comfortable/big and I loved the built in bunk bed set up. Overall the whole process and the unit were fantastic! Would highly recommend and we will be back!

Thank you! We are so happy to have the privilege of hosting you, and you are correct— it is very unusual to have a balcony this large directly on the beach. Your family was our first guest after the remodel and we were excited to share it with you and we look forward to seeing you again very soon! Sherry
We hope you had the opportunity to use the jetted tub!

A Bit Chilly
Followed instructions on an early arrival. It took Chase 1 hr 20 min to respond (and that was after my 2nd prompt). By the time he responded it wasn’t much of an early entry.
- didn’t care for the requirement to wear wristbands the entire stay
- the parking pass had our room # on it. Not good…not a safe practice
- left the couches cleaner than we found them. The amount of crumbs I vacuumed in between the cushions was incredible
Overall, we enjoyed our stay but surely missed Ft Myers Beach where Pointe Estero is second to none.

Thank you for the review....we do not guarantee early check in but we try to accommodate when we can. You asked to go in 5 hours early and that was just not possible. You were allowed in 2 hours early but as the saying goes "no good deed goes unpunished" LOL The wrist bands are required to ensure only Watercrest guests are using the amenities and we cannot control the weather....., Ft. Meyers was a beautiful area before the hurricane and we all hope for a complete recovery for that area. Thank you
What a lovely well situated property. It was spacious and well appointed and clean. The view from the balcony was the stuff of beach dreams. The owner thought of everything down to pre paying for 2 beach chair rentals. The property itself is well maintained. I enjoyed the little touches like the free ice cream, the stand up foot cleaning fountains, and the watchful eye of the beach chair rental guy Nick who was very personable and represented Seacrest well. There was always employees cleaning and painting and checking on the property. The water was crystal clear for 150 yards out. Incredible. There were live Sand Dollars on the second sand bar that of course we viewed and did not disturb them but what a treasure. I thought the condo itself was overdecorated/cluttered with fake plants. But what an easy fix. I wished that the balcony had better lighting. The dining room table is situated on it but we were unable to see our food at night so we had to eat inside. The only other negative was that we were told that every guest had to wear a provided wrist bracelet and we seemed to be the only ones wearing them and there were obvious questionable people on the beach who did not rent condos and no one patrolled for that. That said, these are all easy fixes and we had a wonderful time. Worth every penney!
