Included for your convenience is free beach chair service. Enjoy a beachfront balcony view and front-row seats for the sunset every night as you enjoy this amazing home away from home. Watercrest Condominiums is situated on the Gulf of Mexico's dazzling sugar sand beaches, aptly called the most beautiful beaches in the world. Spend your days relaxing by the surf or at the pool then get ready for a night of family fun at innumerable local restaurants and attractions. This condo has just undergone a complete renovation and we are very excited to share it with you. You will have 1440 square foot of living space which includes a large master bedroom with a king size bed, private bath, and views through a large sliding glass door to the balcony. The second bedroom is a very large room that has two queen beds. Great mattresses and linens complete these bedrooms. It also has a queen sleeper sofa in the living area. Both baths and the kitchen tout granite countertops, new Shaker style cabinets, tile flooring, and all new appliances and fixtures. The living room has a very large sliding door set that allows a view of the ocean. A special feature of this floorplan is that part of the balcony is shaded during the day so you can enjoy the view without being directly in the sun if you choose and the window treatments do not have to be drawn to protected you from the direct sun so you can enjoy the view around the clock. There is a TV on the balcony for your enjoyment. Truly amazing! Watercrest Condominiums just completed a 4.5 million dollar renovation and the entire complex is fresh and new starting with the beautiful entrance portico and amazing water feature to the pool deck where all the outdoor furnishings are new.

Just OK
Property was fairly clean. Master bed was very uncomfortable. A/C did not work well in guest bedroom. Noise in condo above was annoying.
My family and I absolutely loved everything about this place.
The room was spotless and smelt clean the entire time.
The beds were so comfortable it was hard to get out of them in the morning.
The beach area was not so crowded you couldn’t enjoy yourself.
The elevators were super fast.
Chairs and umbrella came with the room so that helped out tremendously! We didn’t have to drag so much stuff to the beach just to be comfortable all day.
We met the property manager which was Sunkiss Beach Rentals and she was very nice , she made sure we had everything we needed.
Every worker we came across at this hotel was friendly.
Overall we had a great experience at this hotel an will definitely be renting it again.
Clean, comfortable stay, great people, beautiful beachfront… a wonderful home away from home. We enjoyed being surrounded by locals (owners) as well as vacationers. Great patio, we played games on the deck every evening. And it’s close to Schooner’s which is a must visit. Thanks, we’ll be back!
This was our 3rd time staying in one of their condos. We love them so much this year we booked 2 and brought more people with us. They did not disappoint.
We loved this condo so much! It is the best condo we have ever rented on the beach. The building’s location is perfect and the beach was not crowded at all. The snack/tiki bar by the pool was nice to have available as well. We loved having the beach chair service included with the condo. The condo was perfect size and had everything that our family of 6 needed. We would love to stay here again.

The Beach !!!!
Beautiful condo !!!! Remodeled and in excellent shape. Looks brand new !! . Clean and room for
The whole family. Excellent communication and easy check in and out process. You won’t be disappointed!!
The condo was clean and was as advertised. The view was beautiful. The water is gorgeous. My daughter and grandkids really enjoyed the heated pool. There was a lot of drawer space but the closets needed some hangers. Loved it
The condo was as expected. Beds were comfortable and overall the condo was clean. Communication was great and we had a wonderful time. We were on the 15th floor, but other than one time we didn’t really have wait times for the elevator. Will definitely book again. Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay. The balcony was the highlight. We ate breakfast every day on the balcony and some evenings too. Very private. The complex was great. I appreciated the on property security team. The pool was heated which was nice on the cooler days. We enjoyed playing pickle ball and tennis. Would definitely recommend the unit.
Such a great stay in this little slice of paradise! The condo was just as advertised with beautiful views of the beach from the huge balcony and plenty of sun and shade to enjoy the scenery, comfortably! The bedrooms and common spaces were great sizes and the kitchen was perfect for cooking, with basically everything we needed! The condo was stocked with plenty of extra towels, extra fans, and dishes. We also loved that we were able to reserve beach chairs for our stay, we even paid to have 2 more added so we could all enjoy them. Loved the Watercrest! Wasn’t too noisy or overcrowded and everyone we met was incredibly nice. And you can’t beat that short walk to the beach! We’ll definitely be planning to stay here again next summer!
