Condo is beautiful with a great view

Been staying at the Watercrest for years. This condo is one of the nicest. The decor is great and they supply many extras like beach towels and beach chair rental. The mattresses could be better and need to be replaced soon. The renovation at the Watercrest is complete and the new floor to ceiling windows in the bedrooms is wonderful! I would stay here again.

Relaxing

This property overall was great condo and location. It could use some updates on the living room furniture and the TV’s in the bedrooms. With different couples retiring to their rooms early and would like to watch TV, it is difficult to watch on a very small tv. The owner was awesome, with the easy checkin and any questions I needed answered. All in all a great vacation!

Great Place!

Great location, great views and great condo! We were here for the USFA World Series for Softball so location was great. Loved that there was no parking garage actually, made it pretty simple. Elevators were never a problem although the elevator for floors 1-6 didn’t work while we were there but it was ok. I love this condo and I would def stay here again! My only small complaint was none of us liked the trash compactor but that’s personal preference, we just didn’t like opening and closing the door every time! Beds were comfy, plenty of seating, lots of room. Great place!!

Fall Break

This is a wonderful condo. Excellent location in quiet portion of beach. Not a busy beach so plenty of shells to find! Close to gorgeous St. Andrew State Park where we did my daughter’s senior pics! Felt very safe in the condo area and neighborhood area. Security visible at all times. No big parking garages to hassle with! Elevators never bogged down and always very short wait! Great restaurants in the area! Excellent communication with owner! Would rent again!!

September 29 through October 6, 2019

The location was our favorite area. The suites were large and very comfortable, with a million dollar view. The complex was great, and beach access was a few steps. Everything well maintained, and the fitness room was a real bonus. I used it several times, and it is well equipped, and up-to-date. The condo itself was huge, comfortable, and suited everyone. With TV’s in every room, we could split and watch whatever we wanted. Will try to book this one again.

Another great stay at this condo!

This is at least the 6th time we have stayed at this condo and in this unit. The unit is spacious and so is the balcony. The kitchen is well equipped. We also grill on the outside charcoal grills that are on the floor level. The location is great. Close to restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. If we have to email or text the condo owner they respond promptly. We plan to stay at this unit again next year.

Moms and kids getaway

ABSOLUTELY loved this place the moment we stepped in. THE VIEWS!!!!!! We had a great spring break mom and kids getaway. We had everything we needed. Lots of beds, great kitchen with new appliances.

Overall experience was good. The noise was so loud because of construction from about 8 till 4 or so you couldn’t the balcony. And even inside the noise was annoying. Was a disappointment that our dishwasher was not working.

Wonderful!

It was a great apartment, easy to access, spacious, excellent views and clean. The only down fall for us was that because we were traveling with an 18 month old, it would have been great if the balcony had a screen. The space between the bars of the balcony were pretty big and made us a bit nervous. We just made sure the sliding doors going out were closed and locked. Just something to take into consideration if going with little ones.

What Can I Say...

We had a wonderful vacation. When you have 9 people, a big part of that is accommodations. This condo provides room for everyone to come together, and get away from each other. All of the beds are very comfortable. The condo is well equipped. Wanda tells you she has beach chairs and towels for your use, and she means it. We took our own, as we've stayed at other properties that promise this/that, but upon arrival you don't have the items. All you need here is your personal stuff, and you are ready to start your vacation when you step in the door. I had read some negative reviews/comments about the parking and larger vehicles at Watercrest. We had 2 vehicles, and NEVER had a problem finding a parking space or parking our large, double cab truck. I prefer the parking lot to the garages. Two things I would suggest addressing if possible... Beach service comes with the condo, but two days we were there, they set up rental beach chairs and umbrellas directly in front of us, between us and the ocean. I didn't like that, there were a number of other people that felt the same way. We expressed our position to the folks and they said they understood, but they didn't move the rentals and continued to do it day after day. They should rethink this. There are signs at the pool that clearly state towels do not hold pool furniture. Three days we took my 72 y/o mother-in-law to the pool at 9:00 a.m., only to find every chair and table in the pool area marked with towels, etc. and not a soul at the pool. Security said there was nothing they could do about it, people disregard the signs. It would only take a few times at the beginning of a week for security to go through, remove the towels and put them in a pile on the pool deck for people to realize the signs mean what they say. PLEASE NOTE: These two things are why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. The situation with my mother-in-law was huge. When she couldn't get a spot at the pool, she tried to go to the beach, but fell in the sand. We had heard that the beach service folks would pick up the elderly/handicap and deliver them to the chairs, but when we asked, we were told they couldn't because they did not have the vehicle they needed to provide this service any longer. If you are thinking of renting this condo, I do recommend it highly. the owners could not do a better job of accommodating vacationers if they were right there to greet them, and give them a tour when they arrived.
