Pictures misleading about view!! Room was clean but I’ve seen better. For the price I expected more. I’ve stayed in other rooms at same building and this one was subpar at best. Also never had to pay for a parking pass with other rooms.

Great Vacation

The condo listing was spot on. We loved being on the 3rd floor so we could take the stairs if we didn't want to wait on the elevator. The included chairs and umbrella were also great. Our family of 6 fit comfortably in the 2 bedrooms. We would definitely stay here again.

Because of the construction, the first unit was too noisy to even carry on a conversation. Once we moved the stay was great. Thanks to Chase for his efforts and understanding.

Top Notch

The property was everything we needed for a fun and comfortable get away. In over 30 years of gulf trips , I’d never stayed on this end of Thomas Dr before...absolute favorite! Everything we needed /wanted was available in our condo and there was plenty of space for the 7 of us without feeling crowded. I would stay here again without hesitation.

Thank you Shelley, we agree, if you ever stay at Watercrest on our "quiet" end of the beach you will never go back to the other end of the beach, that is one of the main reasons we bought here and the beautiful condo too! Sea You Soon!

We stayed in the same unit last year and really enjoy it. The managers are easy to reach and respond quickly for any needs. Weather wasn't as nice this year but that's to be expected in Florida any time of year. Will stay here again next time we return!

End of Summer Getaway

Our trip to wrap up the Summer season with friends went great. Mostly focused on relaxing as opposed to going and doing. And that’s what we did. Staff was nice and helpful and access to the beach was effortless. We will do it again.

Beautiful condo on the beach

The unit is nicely decorated and spacious enough for our family of 4. The guest room has 2 double beds and there are 2 sinks in the guest bath - these features were greatly appreciated by our teens. One weird thing- there's no door to the master bathroom, it's somewhat open to the bedroom. Otherwise, we were very comfortable. The beach is amazing. The pool and hot tub are nice. There's a cute snack bar that sells burgers and fries and tropical drinks. Overall, this unit was fantastic!

Ladies trip 2021

We were very pleased with the location and appearance of Watercrest condos and also the convenience of parking and our unit being on the 3 rd floor. The unit was well stocked in the kitchen and comfortable beds and linens. The beach and nice pool access was very close to the unit. I was very pleased with the peace and quite, access to elevators or stairs. I would definitely come back and recommend to family and friends. The owners were very prompt , friendly with response to any questions. The unit is everything a family or ladies group could ask for and more.

I did not want to leave.

Honestly packing up to go home made me a little sad. When we walked in everything was clean and perfect. Even at this time of year the weather was great and we were happy as can be with all the balcony space. The condo was beautiful and we were pleasantly surprised with the updates. I have already messaged them and asked where i can find the back splash they installed! 😂 Check in was super easy and parking was never a problem. This place was exactly what we were looking for.

We are very shocked with your review. The only thing you told us about were some light bulbs that were out and we explained this was due to an electric storm and we replaced them, so you can see why we feel this is an unfair review. The review system is a wonderful tool for potential guests but this is a misuse of the system. Watercrest is a wonderful resort as is the third floor condo. There must be something else going with you and we are on the negative receiving end of that.

Short getaway

This property was very nice. The first thing we noticed when we came in was a broken tile that needs to be fixed. Couldn't get the TV to work in Master BR so leaving instructions would be great. The other thing we noticed right away that both soap dispensers in the kitchen and master bath had hairline cracks in them that made the soap ooze out and slippery if picked up. Those were just minor things. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again!

Crazy Cousin Crew aka Saggy Maggies

Bad smell still existed after spray. We heard rats/critters in ceiling space. Dryer only worked if put on 60 minutes setting. Also found 2 small cockroaches in one of the beds. Rest of condo was really good. We enjoyed our stay despite Sally. Next time we would like to rent higher up and more to the middle to get a better beach view.

We apologize for the mouse that came in during the storm, when we have tidal surges the mice that live in the dunes look for refuge. Unwelcomed as they are! There are no roaches in the condo so I do not know what you saw....never have been. The condo is sprayed twice a month in order to insure that. Thank you

Very nice place!

Overall we loved our stay. The condo was very nice. There were a few quirks. One, the master bathroom has no door, which can be awkward even for a married couple. Second, the large burners on the stove need repair. They don’t fit properly so one doesn’t work at all and the other is severely tilted, making the stovetop limited in usefulness. I sent two emails to property management during our stay with questions and concerns but received no response to either. That was disappointing. Overall great stay and property with some issues.

Thank you for the review, we will take a look at the stove top, thank you for bringing it to our attention. By design, the master suite has a opening directly into the bedroom. Most really enjoy this spacious room and bath. (Reference for future guests it is exactly as shown in the pictures) We pride ourselves in quick response I am very sorry we did not get your emails it is best to communicate through the vrbo dashboard. Sea You Soon!

Summer July 4 vacation

Family came to stay June 30 thru the 5 of July area was nice beach less crowded than down by pineapple Willy’s fireworks were awesome both nights ! The 3 and 4 th. The bathroom in the master had no door except the entry door to the room and we could not get that door to lock so using bathroom in private was non existent . The description of the big front porch left me thinking the view from the balcony was all ocean front you could see a portion of it overlooking the hot tub . The view from the master bedroom was the condos to the other complex . Other that that we enjoyed the pool and the beach . The staff was great and friendly and the host was amazing each time we communicated it was nice having the chairs and umbrella each day ! Would recommend watercrest if you want a more laid back family oriented experience.

Beautiful condo and excellent location!

The condo is in a great location with super easy access to the beach and pool area. No huge complaints and overall a great experience! Our two issues were the stove and parking……The stove was not great. The back left large burner wasn’t useable because the tray the burner sits in wasn’t the right one and the coils wouldn’t lay flat so therefore pans wouldn’t lay flat. The right side front and back burners also seemed to have some electrical issues as they worked intermittently and sometimes opposite of which burner was turned on. And the parking app, OMG, it was a nightmare. The instructions were specific that you needed to put in arrival and departure dates but we didn’t see an option for that. Then the app said that parking was good for up to 21 days - so we thought we’d be ok. WRONG - we got a parking violation ticket on day two for both vehicles we’d paid for (57.45 per car for a week if you’re wondering since the description doesn’t mention paid parking). The condo attendant was SUPER helpful and provided us with paper parking permits to use the rest of our stay. I don’t remember his name (started with a O) but he was really great and said this was a common issue since switching to a new method.
