Great place to stay in PCB. Clean, quiet, and beautiful view. Jimmy was very courteous and responsive. Would definitely book this place again next time!
This condo was more than perfect. Gated community, clean, and perfect for our family. The owner was personable, helpful, and made our stay easy. Thank you for allowing us to make great memories in your condo.
Condo was very comfy, cozy and clean! Laundry on site is excellent and laundry essentials provided which was great! Nice area within walking distance to many places to eat. Easy to get to other areas for dining and shopping from this location. Nice property, pool was always sparkling clean! Nice beach with very helpful attendants that help with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Gated community.
Highly recommend! We stayed in Jimmy's condo for a week and had the best time. Many memories made, and we'll definitely come back again. The condo was spotlessly clean which is a must for our family. Jimmy checked in after we arrived to make sure all was well. Easy check in and check out process. 5+ stars on everything!
We love this gated complex and the condo is beautiful. We carried my 85 year old Mom and she enjoyed sitting on your spacious balcony. The only complaint we have is, the parking garage spaces are so small, we couldn't always get our SUV in the reserved space if another SUV was parked beside us. Nothing to do with the beautiful condo though, all the units at this complex have this same problem.
We have been coming to.PCB for years. The staff is always friendly as they are always cleaning the property. We have stayed at Gulf Crest Condominiums for the last few years and we absolutely LOVE it!!. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.
We love Gulf Crest and had stayed in several different units and they all needed updates or were just satisfactory on cleanliness. So I started checking different units and came across this unit and all the good reviews. Decided to try one more time. This was in 2021 and it definitely lived up to its reviews!! We love it! We rented again this year (2022) Cleanest unit I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve been in a lot . Owners are Super Nice and even called to make sure I got their email. Easy check in! Well stocked unit! Just love everything about this unit!! S. Martin North Alabama
It was beautiful and clean with all the amenities of home. The balcony had a fabulous view and was great for dining outside. It was quiet and we felt very secure.
Excellent Condo With Amazing Beach Views and Access
Very nice condo in PCB. Well appointed with everything you'd likely need for a beach vacation.
The patio was well equipped and sizeable. Perfect for the family to enjoy the ocean views while avoiding beach crowds.
Beach access was excellent when you do head down. Elevators were comfortable and quick.
The bedrooms are comfortable and the extra bunks in the dining area closet are handy for guests or just enjoying a book.
The kitchen had everything we needed and the additional drink fridge was very convenient.
We love staying at the Gulf Crest. Every time we have come to Panama City, we have stayed at the Gulf Crest. It is close enough to walk to a lot of places but away from all of the traffic further down the beach. The property owner is very nice and helpful. We was there during a storm and he called to make sure all was good and to reassure us that it would be over quickly.
Spent a great week in this wonderful condo. Owners were super helpful and easy to contact. The balcony is huge and perfect for eating meals with the family or just taking a nap and listening to the waves. Would give our highest recommendation.
This property was perfect - comfortable for the four of us and had all the amenities we needed. The condo and beach were so enjoyable we didn’t need to venture out much. Jimmy was the most hospitable host. We are definitely looking forward to returning!
Condo was great. Very clean and well stocked with all your needs for a vacation. Convenient to all things fun to do and places to eat. Jim and Heidi were great about checking to make sure we had everything we needed.
This place was awesome. My sister and I loved the view. Large, roomy unit with big balcony. Most everything we did was in walking distance. Not far to drive for anything else. We will definitely be back! The beach was awesome! The owner was very nice and replied quickly
We had a wonderful experience. Great communication with the owner of the condo, and the condo was everything that the pictures showed online. It was very clean and nice ! I can't wait to book for next year!!
If we have to work remote... why not with a view of the ocean and stunning sunsets every evening? Property was exactly as listed and even more than we hoped for. It was a little chilly (40’s) on some days, but it was much warmer than where we were coming from. And the condos seemed quite empty in the weeks preceding-Christmas, so we had the abundant sun, heated pool and fabulous white sandy beaches largely to ourselves. We even saw a couple of whales (Bryde’s?) off shore in the distance on our last evening!
Very nice condo with an exceptional view. The dolphins and stingrays were there most days also.Nice beach area with easy access. Road construction caused some traffic issues but overall a great visit.
We had an amazing time!!! The condo was beautiful and clean. The owners are so nice and respond very quickly. The beds are so comfortable. The condo had everything we needed for our stay and was so close to everything. We would definitely recommend this unit.
Everything we needed was there. It's a first time vacation in Panama City Beach. View was beautiful. We saw rainbow one morning. Property owner very accommodating, open to questions and response was timely. Highly recommend this home away from home condo.
Condo was perfect, just as described. Jimmy and Heidi were awesome, great communication! You can’t go wrong renting from them.

Expected unit to be in pristine condition given the reviews. It was not. Furniture was a lot more used than I expected was there was mold all over the wood deck furniture that got on our clothes. There was excessive sand in the master bathroom floor and laundry area from the previous tenants that has not been cleaned up. Communication with the owner was good- he apologized and gave a gift card to a local restaurant but was still frustrating to have to deal with this.

Guest arrived early during cleaning and started taking pictures. Told cleaner everything was fine. Guest called me to complain. For any inconvenience. I sent her a $150 gift certificate to a restaurant. Guest continued to complain. Offered to have cleaner return, three times, guest refused. Furniture is in the same condition as the pictures. It is not more worn as guest stated. Guest has received a poor owner reviews before (1 star). I would not rent to this person again. Some people, you just cannot please. Please see my other reviews for a more accurate account of the condo.
We had a wonderful time!! The owners are wonderful and very helpful!! They make you feel welcome! The view is amazing!! The beds are comfy. It’s well stock for cooking. We will definitely be back!! Loved relaxing on the balcony!! Thank you for having us!! 😁
