The only issue we had were with the TV's. the master bedroom TV did not work at all and there were only 4 batteries total so even if it did work, we didn't have enough batteries for all three televisions. but it worked out well and we had excellent family time instead of a TV being on. :) There was a plastic spoon in the dishwasher that appeared to have been melted, found the day we checked in. I took it out and placed it in a drawer and cleaned the dishwasher up from the plastic that was in there. overall, a really great stay for our vacation!!!

Nice place but dirty

Great location, beach, pool, people, etc. Our unit was in rough shape though. Toe nail clippings and hair on the floor. A half-smoked joint on the balcony table (we had a 3 and 9 yr old there, so this was pretty alarming). Rusty fish hook on balcony floor. Mold coming out of refrigerator water dispenser.

FILTHY

Absolutely horrible the place was disgusting. Mold in showers , bathrooms, kitchen. Broken shower in secondary bathroom that they never came and fixed. The screen doors on the patios were ripped. The patio furniture was rusted and broken. The sofas that are in picture are not what is in there . The electric sofa didnt work cord was cut. The fold out sofa was old and worn out. There is no lighting in the place other than 1 lamp per room. Thedresserwas broken and unaccessible. The management sent cleaners 1 day and they were there for 15 minutes and didnt do anything that should have been done. I requested a refund and was refused. I will never use this company or stay here again. I have more pictires upon request

For the most part we enjoyed our stay. We have stayed at Watercrest before but in different units and really enjoy this location. I would not stay in this particular unit again for multiple reasons. This particular unit is very large and roomy which was nice but it really needs some updating/cleaning. The beds were not comfortable. The drawers were falling out of the dressers when opened. We had to buy bowls to have cereal because there were only 2 very large bowls provided. The dishes and silverware were dirty when we took them out of the pantry/drawers so we had to hand wash what we used. The washing machine wouldn’t drain water so we had to call for maintenance, the people I spoke to were very nice but it took 2 days for it to be fixed. The floors were also very dirty so we had to wear our shoes the whole time. I would definitely recommend the Watercrest and book with Emerald Coast again as everyone I dealt with was very nice but would not recommend staying in this unit.

Room to spread out!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Watercrest Condominium. The condo could use some updating and additional sitting in living room, but it was clean and the room sizes were larger than most. Our balcony was very nice and huge. We will definitely be staying here again.

No lights on ceiling fans it was so dark in ever single room no lights in closetsBlinds there are no privacy blinds and the curtain rods look like they are about to pull out from wall I have stayed on other condos in the building and they are much nicer and up to code as far as safety We stayed so we didn’t ruin or lose our money but someone needs to do something about this condo it’s unsafe. Very outdated, the leg on the table looked like someone replied it to the glass table. Would not go back.

Needs an update

The unit is a great size. The balcony view was wonderful. The unit could use some updating (counters and cabinets). It wouldn’t take much to spruce up the look. Needs new couches ASAP. The pictures are much nicer than the unit in person.

Spring Break 2023

Great location and views. We waited to contact them until our second to last day but they were quick to respond to some of our concerns. Only 1 couch in living room for a party if 8 to sit at (fits 3 people). Only 4 seats at dining room table as shown in pics but also only 3 bar stools so one person either has to stand or eat on balcony or living room. Small things were missing but they were quick to replace when notified. Overall great location close to beach and friendly people. Condo could use some additional upkeep but it is a rental.

Summer Vacation

This unit needs a major upgrade before it should be rented again. All the furniture was unsteady, all the dresser drawers did not close, broken cabinet facing in kitchen. It had a projection tv in the extra bedroom that didnt even work. Mismatched couches. Cloth one had a bad odor and food on the pull out matress. Leather one was an electric recliner that did not work. Appeared pretty clean when we walked in but not under furniture and beds. It had a great location with great views, but so most if the other units.

Spacious

Condo was beautifully decorated…Loved the large Barn Christmas Decoration on wall in living room. Both bedrooms were large with plenty of room to walk around beds. The second bedroom had 2 queen beds and still had so much living space. Master bed was king size and very comfortable. The view from the spacious balcony was the highlight. The sliding doors can both be pushed opened to create a large opening to listen to the Gulf and have a nice breeze. There were screen doors to use to keep bugs out but weather was cooler and didn’t see any bugs. The kitchen had a good supply of cookware. The kitchen cabinets and appliances are outdated but everything worked well. Stacked washer and dryer were large capacity and worked well. This is first time staying at Watercrest and condo has a better setup then the many other condo’s we’ve rented. So far it’s been our favorite stay. Pool and hot tub were nice. Pool could have been heated a bit more for February but hot tub was nice and warm…perfect for the cooler weather. The only con we experienced was the hot water runs out fast when showering and no other appliances were running. Maybe 10 minutes if that and water turned ice cold. Management may want to check if water heaters are working correctly. 2 or more people showering back to back would be a problem. Parking lot was spacious and elevators were quick. We will definitely book this condo again.

basic condo

Here’s the good stuff: Great and ample cookware and dishes (except not enough cups); firm beds; great view of the west end of the beach; plenty of towels; lots of closet and drawer space; great tv; nice sized balcony; great air conditioning; Less than satisfactory stuff: dirty balcony; rusty balcony furniture; barely functioning dishwasher; hole in bathroom door and screen on balcony; we had a two year old, and the rails were far enough apart that it was scary when she was out there, so some of that netting would have been helpful; broken kitchen drawer; wires hanging and visible from tv; my overall impression was that the condo wasn’t loved or well taken care of, but it did provide the basic needs. I would probably choose a different condo next time.
